At a Murderous Range

According to the dispatches of Sunday night General Francisco Villa with 400 including pri- yates captains, majors colones and generals was at Maoma ranch about fifty-five miles southeast of the much beeaguered of Oinaga. Colonel Flores. loyalis of the Juarez garrison with force of 250 men, some of whom were presumably privates, at a point opposite Ruidosa Texas about forty miles northwest of ojinaga. At the same time Gen. eral Cordova Espinosa and General Cardona also loyalists from the Chihuahua garrison with 500 men, some of whom were in the ranks, were at a point thirty miles from Majoma Ranch.
 It appeared that all these forces had reached their objectves. There no indication that they were going to converge any further. But that was close enough for Mexican artillery battle It is presumed that once General Villa and Colonel Flores were sending at each other shell for shell the intervening ninety five miles and that General Cordova Espinosa and General Cardona were decimating the devoted troops of General Villa at the mereiless, murderous range of thirty miles
 Further accounts of the slaughter were not ob- tainable at the hour of going to press yesterday morning.

The Newspaper Hater

The Columbus Ohio. Dispatch deals with the man who pays attention to the newspapers, who does not believe anything he reads in them We all know him He is in Phoenix; he is everywhere. He is usually man of most pronounced views on all subjectsat any rate he is the loudest mouthed pro- nouncer of views in the community. He has opinions regarding all subjects under the He knows about the progress of the than Haig, Pershng Joffre, Hindenburg Ludendorf He knows just what has happened and what is going to happen and why. He is in his view, the best informed man in his vicinage.
 Yet the man has never been away from home certainly not outside the state for months Whence then, his cock-sureness? Certainly not from any conversation he has held, because when there has been any conversation he has been the only talker There has been only of information for him. Does he suck it of his thumbs or imbibe it from the newspapers?

Tried by Reporters
morning.

There is curious legal and the less curious reportorial proceeding going at Los Angeles. The proprietor of two of the newspapers that city is suing the management of another paper for libel and has just brought libel suit against still another paper. The former is in progress It is being tried in There is a judge also a jury and all the paraphernalia of litigation But
 it appears that all this is settng-"props" so to speak. The case is really being tried by the porters of the various papers. The evidence is weighed by them and interpreted. Accounts of the trial consist mainly of comments and instructions to the court and the jury which must be very confusing to those figureheads They must also be very con- fusing to the Teaders of the papers. Each paper prints such pas of the transcript of the testimony

 As always is the case in August the river was in extremely low water. Boats drawing more than a couple of feet normally are tied up. But the United States army engineers corps, wishing to demonstrate the supreme value of the river as an artery of traf- fic in war item, has stepped in with an Illuminating illustration of what can be done even in these weeks of scant flow.
 Dams holding back pools along the Big Sandy, the Kanswna and the Cp- per Ohio rivers were opened recently and surplus water was allowed ID run out.

That wonderful sermon which Jesus prea ched on the Mount" is full of food for thought from beginning to end. Although we hear it referred to so often. it will do no harm to refer to it again. If the so-called religious people of the world would apply the principles taught therein to their lives, truly they would have pure religion and undefiled before God"
 What a vastly different world this would be in which to live if we would only heed the admonition to return good for evil, love our enemies, etc. Unless we as professed Christians can do that, then we are no better than the man who makes mo profession to righteousness.
 For I say unto you. that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Phar

Any man can get angry when evilly treated: any man can retallate when struck in the face; any man can hate his enemy But it takes an effort of no mean proportion to be calm under pressure. to return good for evil and love a personal enemy.

R. C. HUNTINGTON

Mrs. Adella G. Pratt received
a telegram last week calling her
to GAINESVILLE, Mimi, where her
brother r. C. Huntington, was
very ill. Mrs. Pratt left imme-
diately but arrived too late to
see her brother before his death
which occurred after a very
short illness. Mr.. Huntingt ton
had been, as nearly as can be
learned here, a subject of the
grippe and had suffered a relapse
to which he succumbed sudden
ly. He was about forty years
of age and was the editor Of the
GAINESVILLE Record-Review, one
of the best papers of that sec
ton of the state. Mr.. Hunting
ton was unmarried. Mrs. Pratt
has taken the remains to the
old home at Plattsville, Wis,
where other members of the
family, including the mother,
are diving and where interment
will be made. She will return to
Redwood Falls the last Of the
week.
