To RIFLE SQUAD

CHIHUAHUA CITY, Sept A.
Hanging has replaced firing squad
executions in northern Mexico. Gen.
Francisco Murguia prefers the rope
to the bullet for disposing of con
Cemned men, as he says it saves am
munition. which is difficult to obtain.
When General Murguia's troops cap
ture the bandits who burn trains and
loot towns he orders them strung up
to the nearest telegraph poles. Pas
sengers arriving here from the south
recently reported having seen thirty
five bodies hanging from telegraph
poles along the Mexican Central rail-
road.
When Villa last attacked the state
capital here General Murguia ordered
more than a hundred of Villas par
tisans within the city hanged to the
cottonwood trees in the Alameda.
Last week a paymaster of the army
who was short in his accounts was
found hanging from a limb on one
of the principal streets.

This is the third institute in

but that he improves with age.
One notable fact was that there

age of the teachers ladies'. Many
of the teachers will teach their
first school this year, but many
of them we know and we also
know that they are better quail
fed than some who have been
trying to teach for years. The
week has been both pleasant
and profitable and we expect to
see many good results from this

spiration which the teachers
have received from the number
of splendid talks made by visi-
