Soldier Finds His Mother After
 20-Ye ear Search

Sioux Falls, s. D., Dee. 27.- John Snyder, a young South Da- kotan, who recently returned from France, after separation of about 20 years from his mother, Mrs L. M. Cott, has been reunited with her and has found a fine, new home.
 When Snyder was baby he was left in an orphan home and a short time later was adopted by a fam. fly named Kiel, living near Yala, s. D. The mother lost all trace of her sop and afterward remar- ried. Snyder grew to manhood il the neigbborhood of Yale and, af- ter war had been declared agains5 Germany, he enlisted in the army. He is "A years ole.
 Several days ago Snyder receiv- ed a letter from an uncle stating that his mother was living near Sioux Falls and had been married to a farmer named Cott. Through Postmaster Stephen Donahoe, Shy
  Ter soon got in touch with his mother.
 When he talked to her over the telephone before going to her home he used the name of kell and it was only after he had been prompted by the postmaster that he realized that to make his moth- CT understand it was necessary to tell her that his real name was Snyder, which was the name of his mother when he was born.
 Cott hurried to Sioux Falls III his automobile and met his step- son in Postmaster Donahoe's of flee.
 "Well, boy" he said, ''do you want to come out home with me ?"

225,O00 Acres i1a Texas to be Made
 Game Preserve

Catarina, Tex, Dec 27.-S. ". Foresetr of Wichita, Kan, who recently purchased the Catarina ranch, embracing 225,000 acres, from Charles P. Taft of Cincin- natl, plans to convert {. part of the big property into wild game preserve, Originally he contem- plated raising deer for marked, but in view of the fact that the killing of these animals is re- stricted by Texas law to three bucks by any one person a year, it is impracticable to engage in the industry on a commercial scale.
 Large pastures, however, will be inclosed by high wire fences for the purpose of confining deer and other wild life It is asserted that there are already thousands Of head of wild deer upon the ranch. In the rougher parts of the prop erty are. to be found Mexican pan thers, big bobtal wildcats, mary wild turkeys and other game that are much sought for by the sports men. Thousands of wild musk hogs roam through the chaparral in great droves. These animals are said to be the most vicious iii the whole Rio Grande border re- zion. They attack hunters on the slightest provocation and many in- stances are known of the boars se- verely injuring men with theiT long tusks. It was to this region that the late Col. Theodore Roose- of New York, came and spent sev- eral days hunting javelins. He roamed through the wilderness ac- companied by a cowboy and had several thrilling encounters with the animals.
 It is stated that Forester will place several thousand acres of the big ranch in cultivation. He also plans to drill one or more wells in search of oil upon the property.

Ignored Stay for
 General Angeles

New York, Dec. 29.-The execu- tion of Gen. Felipe Angeles was carried out in spite of 9 writ o4 labeas corpus issued by the Su- preme Court of Mexico. That is reported by Excelsior and Fl Uni versal, the leading morning news papers of the capital. It is the second time the military faction under Carranza has overruled the h 'ghest tribunal in the nation.
 The incident is unusually point ed in that his explanation of the recent Jenkins case, Carranza informed the Washington govern ment that the American consular agent could not be released by the Federal government because Mex ican law prevented interference by the executive with the judi ciary.
 The Mexican newspapers say the writ to stay the execution was issued by the Supreme Court two days before thha Generals death.

COUNCIL OF TIE
 LEAGUE lS 70 BE: CAL.II.EE: l. SOON
Meeting is to Follow Closely Upon Ratifica-
 ton

Paris, Dec. 29.-Ipformal notice of the first meeting of the councn of the league nations will probably be given 9 day or two after the exchange of notifications of the treaty of Versailles, Ambassador Wallace cabled the state depart ment in Washington to this effeft after this mornings meeting Of the supreme council, which had the question under consideration.
 It is still an open question whether the formal call for the meeting shall be issued by Pres,- dent Wilson as originally provided for, or whether in view of the fact that the United States has not. ratified the treaty, the call shall be issued by Premier Clemen- ceau, the president of the peace confluence. This question as well as the place for the meeting of the members of the council will probably be decided tomorrow.
 The difficulty arising from the fact that the United States has not ratified the treaty and Presi- dent Wilson consequently will not be able to issue an official convo- cation will be surmounted, accord- ing to the councils plan, by Presi- dent Wilson issuing an unofficial cali.
 It is considered here impossible that the first meeting of the coun- cil will be held in Washington, as originally provided, because of the urgency of action on some quea- tions touching execution of the treaty of Versailles. The impres- sion here is that the members Of the council will be asked to come to Paris.
 The date for the exchange Of notifications on which the call for the meeting of the leagues coun- cil depends, is still uncertain, nothing have been heard from the Germans in response to the latest allied note. The expectation in official circles is that some word from Berlin regarding the subject will be at hand by tomorrow, un- less interrupted telegraphic trans mission causes further delay.
 According to the terms of the peace treaty Germany was to furnish by December 31 state ment regarding number of different questions dealt with by the treaty As the exchange of notifications is not yet definitely in sight. however, the council to- day considered the possibility Of extending the time for this state ment.
 The conditions under which Germany is to tufn over the light cruisers demanded as part of the fer the destruction Of the Scapa Flow fleet also were discussed by the council.
 It was decided to send con- gratulations to General Niesse!, heading the mission to the Baltic, on the manner in which it's task in connection with the. evacuation of the Baltic provinces by the Ger man troops had been carried out.

Skunk i'm School
 Cause of Riots
 Among Students

Mendon, Mo, Dee 27.-School children usually are happy when something happens to give them vacation in addition to those regularly scheduled during the school year, but students of the Mendon school got one the other day which they did not relish very much and they are not praying for a repetitions very soon. A skunk played the leading role in the lit- tie comedy and caused the en- forced absence of several of the little boys.
 The skunk sauntered into the school room while everybody was busy and was net noticed for some little bit. The animal prob- ably would not have made its presence known quite so prom'- nently but for the fact that it be- came scared when pupils of the school chased it around the room. in an effort to effect it's capture.
 One of the intrepid lads nailei the uninvited seeker of knowledge by clapping an empty waste bas- ket over it. The feat was not ac- complished until there were saT- eral casualties, Some of the little folks got several days of un- expected holidays, but it wasn't any fun-there was nobody tp play with. Now these children have reached the conclusion that the path to knowledge is not q primrose one. especially if 2 skunk is mixed up in the proceed ings somewhere.
