approximately 10000 strong, con-
solidated their positions in an unre-
lated action preparatory to a finish"
fight.
Cavalry Checks Advance.
In the Regular Army maneuvers
the speedy mechanical 7th Cavalry,
pride OF the American Army, proved
a vital factor in checking-tempo-
rarily, at least-the advance Of the
"blue" forces which had driven the
"blacks" back approximately 6 miles
since dawn yesterday.
Swinging southwark around the
enemy's righ flank in a demonstra-
ton Of mobility and striking power,
two troops of the 7th were success
full In disrupting operations of the
10th and 18th Infantry REGIMENTS
as they sought to follow up earlier
successes.
The remainder of the seventh de-
Tended the "black" right flank, sup

Filing today of the will and codicil

Mrs. Walters died from a wound
in her left shoulder. The bullet had
severed an artery, which caused her
to bleed to death before medical aid
could arrive. Testimony offered at
the coroner's inquest tended to show
that Mrs. Walters had asked a maid
for a gun which she allegedly said
she wanted to oil. The shooting
took place minute after she had
obtained the gun and gone into a
