Compiled By County Agent
and Chamber Of Com
merce Secretary.

The need Of complete directory Of
every resident Of Mason county has
been often felt by our business men
and our local organizations and insti-
tutions. Although there have been
several directories of the city COM
piled and published there has never
yet been q complete directory Of the
citizens Of the county compiled.
Realizing the need Of such direc-
tory Secretary Carl Dodds, of the
Maysville Chamber of Commerce, be-
gan looking about for some manner OF
obtaining such information without
the very large expense necessary to a
house to house canvass of the entire
county and finally fell onto the
scheme Of obtaining the card records
taken at every home in the county
during the Sanitary Survey.
The Surgeon Generals office at
Washington was asked for a loan Of
these cards and they have arrived.
Secretary Dodds and County Agent
George Kirk will begin work at once
of listing all of the citizens of the
county and at obtaining other infor-
nation about our citizens which are
to be found on these cards.
OF course these gentlemen do not
expect to publish county directory
but they have much need of a COM
plete directory in their office and it
will be kept on file there at all time,
and will be kept up-to-date as near
ly as possible.

upon American mining companies for
heavy tributes in return for protection
of foreign properties from damage az
the hands of his followers. Several
months ago Villa demanded 81 ,0O0,-
eco gold from the companies operat-
ing in Chihuahua state as tribute and
included several of the ParraI district
companies in the demand. Among
the larger companies operating in
that district are the San Francisco Del
ORC Mining company, a British cor
pCratiOn; the American Smelling and
Refining company, owned by the Gug-
genheim interests, which had proper
ties at Neta Colorado, five miles from
Parral and the AlVarado Mining AMI
Milling company. a Boston company.
The attack started as soon as it was
light enough to see detectives Satur-
day morning this being Villas favor
lite time for an attack. The assault was
made from the east side of the town
from the direction of FL Vale ana
was met with stubborn opposition by
the federal garrison which numbered
500 men under General Gomez ana
was outnumbered three to one. AS
sitting Villa in directing the attack was
General Felipe Angeles, who entered
the town Sunday with him. 1t is be-
lieved Angeles has been preventing
Villa from executing prisoners and
foreigners as none have been shot
since he joined Villa. The last time
Villa entered Parral he executed sew
eral Americans and a number of Chi
nese, The casualties were not known
by the refugees when they left Tues
day.
The federal survivors escaped to the
hills, they said, Angeles was seen rid
ing down the main street of the town
by one of the American mining men
and appeared to be second in COM
mand under Villa. Villas forces were
reinforced prior to the attack by Gen
eral Garcia with 500 men from the
south the. refugees said. The num-
Der of casualties were not known
when the Americans left.

VILLA FIGHTS WAY
INTO PARRAL CITY

Juarez, Mex, April 24.-FranSisco
villa fought his way into Parral, the
famous mining camp 1925 miles south
west of Chihuahua City, Sunday morn
ing after a battle which started at
daybreak Saturday and ended with
Villas entry at the head of his 1900
troops Sunday morning at IL o'clock.
The town was then looted.
Three American mining men arrived
here tonight from Parral with the
first information of the battle. They
left ,Parral Tuesday morning in an
automobile and by train from Chihua-
hua City. When they left Villa held
the town, but later reports stated that
the government troops from Chihua-
hua City which left there Sunday on
four troop trains, had attacked and
a battle was reported to have been
in progress around Parral today. This
cannot be confirmed as the wire COM
muncations have been interrupted.
After taking Parral, Villa an
nounced that none of the American or
other foreign properties would be mo-
Tested and that all of the forty Amer
leans employed in and near Parral
would be protected. He ordered Jose
de Ia Luz Herrera, former mayor of
all dl anu Ills TWO sons executed
Monday. The elder Herrera was may
or of Parral when Maj. Frank Temp
kins' cavalry squadron was attacked
by Villa sympathizers in Paral during
the punitive expedition when Temp
kins was closely pursuing Villa toward
Las Nieves, Durango. Herrera at
tempted to stop the demonstration and
aided the Americans during the riot.
This and the fact that he was the
father of Generals Luis and Maciov1a
Herrera. was believed to have been
responsible for his execution.
One of the two sons of Herrera eX-
ecuted was Melchor Herrera, former
mayor of Juarez. The other son was
Zeferino Herrera. Jesus Herrera. a
third son, escaped.
with the capture of Parral, Villa is
reported to have renewed his demands
