Houdini Knep Spirits
Predicted His Death

NEW YORK, Dec. (AP) .-Hou-
dini's death was predicted in spirit
circles for weeks before he died and
while Houdini still thought his in,
jury was slight, Fulton ousler, the
author reveals in a letter to Sin
Arthur Conan Doyle.
The magician -skeptic of sp.ritual-
ism, was not alone aware of ths
predictions, according to the author.
A medium, Ousler said, informed MIN
at the time of Houdinis injury that
a spirit told her "4Ioudini's days as
magician are over

In replying to letter from DoylS
commenting on Ousler's book, step
child Of the Moon" the latter re,
ported as follows telephone con-
versation he had with Houdini just
before the magician opened the tour
that ended in his death:
II am marked for DEATH" Houdini
said II don't mean l am going to
be murdered, but that they are pre-.
dieting my death in spirit circles
all over the country"
"You don't tput any stock in it, do
your OusIer inquired, aware of
many similar predictions Houdini
eaid he did not, but nevertheless "he
admitted that it had made an i'm
preston on his mind"
Medium Quoted Spirit
on the day after he read of Hou-
dini's accident in an Albany theater,
Ousler continued, he received let
ter from Alice A. Wood, a medium,
who was secretary to DR.. Prince,
then principal research officer or
1.-THE American Society for Psychic
Research.
Under date of october 13, ousler
said, this is what Mrs Wood wrote
to him.
q Three years ago, DR.. Hyslop (mean-
ing the spirit of DR.. Hyslop) said to
J. Malcolm Bird Of the Psychicai
Research society:
1.-The waters are black for Hou-
dini, and he predicted that disaster
would befall him while performing
before an audience in theater
IJr. Hyslop now says that the m
jury is more serious than has been
reported and that Houdini's days as
a magician are over!'

MEXICAN GOVERNMENT
RECEIVES REPORT ON
MATAMORAS FIGHTING

CIUDAD VICTORIA, Dec. S.-(Spe-
cial to The Dispatch). a full report
has been made to Emilio Portes Gil,
governor of the state of Tamaulipas,
concerning the recent occurrence at
five agrarians were Killed. A careful
Investigation made by the municipal
president of the place and by the pub
lie prosecutor is rs follows:
Twenty-Five men from the ranch of
Las Rusias, of whom eight were arm
ed, presented themselves at El Eban-
ito, at which place the agrarians were
located, and an armed conflict devel-
oped when the armed persons from
Las Rusias attempted to enter the
place. OF the eight armed men from
Las Rusias, five were Killed and one
was detained, two of those presum-
ably responsible having fled
Ten persons from Las Rusias were
arrested. 1t appears that number of
the persons from. Las Rusias came
without arms and without knowing the
purpose Of the leaders, Emilio Longoro
and Jose Pena Canales. Eleven persons
are being held There were two killed
and two wounded on the part of the
yagrarians, and a woman of this group
was also wounded.
ITO date the responsibility between
the two groups has not been deter
mined" Emilano Fernandez, agent of
the public prosecutor, states, "but /
have reached the conclusion that the
people from Las Rusias went to El
l1banito and the battle resulted when
they met with resistance in entering
the place. I do not believe the affair
twill be repeated" Copies of the re-
port have been sent by Governor Portes

that the two men witnessed together.
Russell died short time ago aud
the following poem has been dedicated
TO his memory by Bouidin E
A cowboy by environment,

Where talent, itself, plays 5 great
part,
Has painted his last Great West.

But the old time west is fading
away
And men of that class are fewer

Is passing and creeping, as sun from
the shade.
OH How we do love them in their
old time life,
When thoughts of old days in our
memory is rife.
Good hearted and happy, and free
as the air,
Not one thought of the future, that
looms over there.
Your paintings were true to the
cowboys heart,
In the range day work. whore each
man did his part,
And the happenings of the day, with
horse and man
You pictured so true on every hand,
But, Charlie, if l could express by
painting. the same as you've done.
I'd be tho happiest cowboy under
the sun.
But I'll try to paint you in my crude
simple way
The life Of the old west, that has
long passed away.
To portray their memory and times
of the past,
We hope will linger in the minds
of those who live last,
To .hink Of the old west, whore

Where the sun shone brighter and
the sky seemed more blue;
And those who lived in those last

To reach out the hand with broad,
