PETREE WILL
 IS ADMITTED
 FOR PROBATE

The will of the late Dave Petree was admitted in the commissioners court Thursday evening for probat- ing. The will itself is very brief, con. taining but four provisions. That MT. Petree realized that he was ap- preaching the end of life is evidenced by the first proviso. which states that it was his wish to be buried according to the means of the estate.
 The body of the will provides for the education. support and mainten- ance of his two daughters, Hazel and Alice, until such time as the young est one becomes twenty-one years of age, which will be in 1926. The will also makes provision for his step- daughter, Margaret Petree, in the way of such support and aid as may be necessary to her, but not to the detriment of his own two children.
 The final deposition of the prop. erty will be made when the young. est will have attained the age of 21 years, when the residue of the estate will be divided equally among the three children.
 MT. Petree designated August Pet erson as the guardian of the chil dren and the administrator of the estate. without bond, with full power to control and educate and also to execute all matters pertaining to the welfare of his children. Miss Mar garet, being now of age. will not come under his guardianship. All former wills made by MT. Petree were revoked with the drawing uI of the new one
 As witnesses to the drawing Of the will were J. W. Raymond and M. E. Stevens, friends of long stand ing. MT. Petree at the time of his death was 51 years of age.

MEXICO
 CATTLE KING IS
 NOW IN TEXAS

FL PASO, Tex, Aug-Each evening at sunset, an old man with silver white hair and snowy beard may be seen walking around and around the plaza taking his daily exercise with his two bodyguards.
 He is General Luis Terrazas, the octogenarian exile from Mexico who lost virtually all his great fortune in the revolution of Madero and Villa and now is forced by political condi- tions in the country to live on the border. When the Madero revolu- tion started in 1911 Don Luis" was known as the cattle king of Mexico His herds numbered more than 20O- 900 head and grazed on a thousand hills and plains of Northern Mexico. His estates stretched from the Rio Grande to Chihuahua City and he could ride for "A hours by train over his own acres, which then numbered more than a million.
 From his offices in the state capi- tai, General Terrazas governed this vast cattle empire. conducted bank and many other industries connected with his cattle business. He and his large family lived in luxury in the marble palace on the Alameda or at Quinta Carolina, his summer home on the plains. Train after train of cattle arrived at the border from the Terrazas ranches. His annual ex- port averaged 25,O0O head and the or Running-S" brand was as well known at the Chicago. Kansas City and Fort Worth stockyards as it was in Mexico. The Terrazas holdings were estimated to be worth sJ,000,0000 (gold) but were not for sale at any price.
 Now General Terranzas and his family live in a rented house on Golden Hill, he rides to his office in an old automobile, and buys his gro- ceries from a cash-and-carry store.
 The revolutionists under Madero. Orozco and other leaders killed the Terrazas cattle for food, burned his ranch buildings and footed his stores and warehouses. Then Francisco Villa, acting as commander in the north for General Carranza, issued a decree confiscating all of the Ter razas holdings including the herds, lands and personal property. General Terrazas was forced to flee from Mexico before Villas advance on Chihuahua City from Juarez. He made the long trip to the border at Ojinaga with the fleeing federal column in December 19. He has never returned to Mexico.
 On July 22 last, General Terrazas his 89th birthday anniver. sary surrounded by his ten sons. 7s grandchildren and many more rela. tives. He maintains an office down. town where he attends to his private

DOWNING THE SAUSAGFS

There is an account in the news of an American flyer from Arizona who downed three enemy balloons, making a grand total for him of nine of the so-caed "sausages" in three days. This does not sound like much, as the casual reader will know that the bal looms are anchored and are not fighting ma chimes, being used for observation only
 But there is more than that to be con- sidered. The enemy balloons are anchored, 1t is true, but they are on cables, attached to machinery on the ground that is capable of pulling them down with great rapidity, while the protective anti-aircraft guns or "Archies" as they are called speak loudly in defense of tem. In addition to this the balloons are not good targets, because they are stationed at low attitudes and are often protected by several squads of fighting flyers who hover over its location ready to give battle to any hostile craft that may come near. So it is very difficult matter to down one of the enemy sausage" balloons.
 Of course, it is comparatively easy to cause the balloon to descend, because it will be pulled down at the first sign of danger to save any photographs or material that the ob- server may have gathered This puts out that particular eye of the enemy for the time DNllS, O'tl lo uSotloy ulC oduSdSC dllu klON that it is destroyed is another matter.
 These big, clumsy observation craft are often let up at comparatively high levels, for their kind, far back of the enemy's first line, where they can still get fairly comprehensive view of the allied lines by means of high powered telescopes and cameras on clear day. That is another factor that adds to the difficulty there is in actually destroying one of the enemy sausages.
 These facts will give the reader a better idea of what the flyer from Arizona ac- complished when he accounted for nine of these eyes of the enemy in three days.
 The observation balloon is an invaluable factor in gaining knowledge of the enemys movements. It is stationary, and the observ- CT can keep glasses trained on a particular object for any length of time, thus gaining a knowledge of affairs behind the enemy lines and of the enemy trenches that is more ac- curate than can be gained by flying over it.
 The German sausages are often a great source of annoyance to the allied lines be- cause of the fact that they are hard to get down, and yet there they are getting vital

HUNTERS BACK
 WITH NO GAME

Rev. w. s. Marble and J. II. Groves returned yesterday from the vicinity of Twin Buttes, in the Fair banks creek district, where they had gone to enjoy a few days hunt and bring home caribou or two for winter use. It had been previously reported that the caribou were thick in that neighborhood and were easy to be had, but on their arrival at the hunting grounds not an animal could be seen. although they remained in the vicinity for several days. and were compelled to return to Fair banks empty-handed.
 Jimmie Kane also made a trip to that section with a pack train with which to bring home his kill. He was likewise disappointed. and all he brought back was his camping out. fit. Kane will make a trir to the Salchaket section, where the caribou are reported to be, and bring In enough to supply the local market. taking along four head of horses to bring in the game.

A SIGN of the times is the action of Jacob Schiff of New York City, in his inti- mation to the trustees of Cornell University that he wishes the endowment of $1OO,OOO which in 1912 he gave to create foundation that would promote German culture" be changed now to promotion of "human civili- zation." The trustees have acceded to his wish and the income next year will be on the civilization of France, and later years will see provision made for due recognition of Semitic, Hellenic and Latin civilizations.
