(UP)-I have just taken ride which lasted three hours around and in Aduwa with Gen. Villa Santa, commandant of the Gavin ana division which took Aduwa, and his staff.
 witnessed no visible evidence of bombing by airplanes. The town, which normally has only 4,000 or 5000 population, is nearly deserted of inhabitants, who fled to the hills upon the first appearance of airplanes, was told. They are now returning in bands with white flags.
 Aduwa Disappointing
 Aduwa is great disappointment, though Italians assert that 1t is the third most important town in Ethiopia. It consists only of few hundred acres on two ridges of cir- cular. matched huts with a palace" and coptic Christian church on the higher ridge.
 From my observation of the town from both ridges very few if any bombs hit the town. I could get no details of any. civilian casualties. One group, approaching Gen. Villa Santa, said that many townspeople in the hills possessed rifles, but feared to come in and surrender them because they might be bombed or fired upon.
 Gen. Villa Santa said that ar- rangements would be made to re- ceive the arms, which every male Ethiopian possesses.
 The town and the house of Ras Siyoum, commander of the Ethi- opian army on the northern front and governor of Tigre province with his capital here, are swarming with innumerable flies and with unnurn- erable stenches.
 Aduwa has a few score eucalyptus trees and corn and millet patches. Otherwise 1t is stony, and hard

 visited Ras Siyoum's palace. It is the most elaborate place in town, but it consists only of half dozen rambling low stone white washed buildings. In the. throne room, the floor is covered with cloths of bamboo mating. On the wall is rudely painted lion of Judah with handle bar mustache. At the end of the room is mus lin canopy under which is a wide rush-seated sofa, an informal throne.
 There are a few bits of European furniture and scores of empty Italian wine bottles. Philippians Loot Building Officers in the party said that af- ter the departure of the Italian consular staff the Philippians loot ed the buildings and took some wine and furniture.
 The reception hall has a ceiling covered with rude paintings of Afri- can animals. On the floor is a bright colored chromo of the cruci- fixion.
 In the court yard soldiers were digging grave for 8 sheeted corpse.
 It was the body of one of five Philippians who tried to defend Ras Siyoums house. He was shot by a native Italian guide upon the cap ture of the palace.
 One court yard is an open air tribunal, with three tiers of col ored bamboo mating around 1t, where the court is held.
 Court documents in Amharic, the official language of the country, were still scattered on the ground.
 Italian soldiers are occupying Si- youm's house. The Italian flag was raised over 1t by Gen. Villa Santa.
 Gen. Villa Santa took me out to the front lines outside Aduwa.
 The main body of Italians are encamped on @ green fertile plain around the Italian consulate, two miles from toWn-the only European style red brick house in Aduwa.
 Provision trains of mules are streaming in ove- the terrible moun- tain trails.
 First to Reach Aduwa
 I was the first newspaper cor respondent to reach Aduwa.
 Mules were not available, so I walked about 20 miles over 8 series of mountain passes so steep and difficult that 1t took me IA hours of climbing waves of mountains and scrambling down.
 I had to spend one night en- route and slept in tiny pup tent with six Italian soldiers on the bare ground without blankets. I ate their hard tack and corn beef and marched with them for hours.
 The trail is so difficult that no wheel vehicles have yet reached Aduwa-only tanks and pack trains. But engineers are straining to make a pasSable road.

Old Record Book Found Contain
ing Proceedings of Governing
Body From 1873 to 1890

Aged town ordinances that appear
just bit unusual today, nevertheless
seemed weighty enough at the time
they were passed by the governing
body of the town away back in the
years before the present generation
now in charge of town affairs ap-
peared upon the stage.
At least it seemed that these ordi-
nances were necessary and were
brought to light in a book recently
found wherein the minutes of the
meetings of the Burgess and Com
missioners Mayor and Town Council
of today from May Is, 1878, to May,
1890. This old record book has been
given to the present Mayor and Town
Council and has been placed in the
City Hall vault for safe keeping.
Unusual ordinances and interesting
bits of town history are gathered
from the pages of the old book. For
instance:

penditures amounting to $181.49.

INJURED STRANGER FOUND
ON RAILROAD TRACK HERE
Engineer Stops Train and Man is
Taken to Keyser Hospital

A man who gave his name as A. S.
Brooks, 81, of Baltimore, was found
lying between the tracks of the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad west of
Oakland early Saturday morning.
He VISA in a serious condition, having
sustained fracture of both hips. The
injured man was taken to Potomac
Valley Hospital, Keyser. He has a
chance for recovery, according to DR..
M. H. Maxwell, of the institution.
The injured man, who said he was
married, was seen by the engineer of
passenger train No. a at $50 o'clock,
who stopped his train in time to pre-
vent further injury.
Captain C. H. Frederick, conductor,
of the train, examined the man and
with the assistance of the train crew,
placed him on board. According to
Captain Frederick, Mr.. Brooks is
quoted as saying he had been to
Grafton, W. Va, seeking employment
on the Tygarts Valley flood control
project and was returning to his
home and had fallen from the freight
train upon which he was riding.
