VILLA DECREES DEATH
FOR BORDER M^NACERS
Declares Will Execute First Man Who
Fires Into American Territory.
KILLS HUSBAND WITH
CLUB NEAR CLARKSVILLE
A farmer named Strops, who lived
six miles west of Clarksville near
Reed’s Tank, was killed early Monday
morning by his wife, Mrs. Maggie
Strops, with a stick of stoyewood
while he was lying in bed. They had
been lying in bed for some time quar-
reling about his getting up to get
some wood for her to start a fire in
the kitchen stove to cook breakfast.
He had made a fire in the bedroom
and had gone back to bed, but did
not go to sleep any more.
About 7 o’clock she asked him, ac-
cording to her statement to get up
and bring in some wood for her to put
in the kitchen stove and he refused
to get out of bed. After they had
quarreled for awhile, it is claimed she
went out and got a stick of wood, and
the room struck hom

Juarez, Mexico, Jan. 10.—Death was
decreed for the first man of Mexico
who fired into American territory.
Villa ordered it before he boarded his
special train tonight, preparatory to
leaving the border for Tampico and
the Soqth, where he will take the field
against the retreating forces of Car-
ranza, who exaeuated Saltillo and
were defeated at Ramos Arizpe, Coa-
huila and San Diego.
“Before I leave the border for the
battle line, I wish to say just one
thing to the American press,” Villa
said at his private residence on
Avenida Laredo. “That one parting
message is, that as long as I have
anything to do with the affairs of
Mexico, there will be no further fric-
tion between my country and my
friends’ country of the north.
“General Scott, my friend, I believe
to be one of the greatest men your
country has produced, greater even
than General Scott of the Mexican
War, for he understands our people
and he makes peace, and not war..
To President Wilson, the greatest
American, I stand pledged to do what
I can to keep the faith which he has
had in m ypeople, and if there is any-
thing eh may wish, I will gladly do
it, for I know it will be for the good
of my country. As you Americans
say, ‘President Wilson has made good’
with all patriotic Mexicans, by his
conduct toward our (Republic. My*
troops are ordered to Guaymas and
Mazatlan, and there will be no mate
firing on or across the border,, for, I
have ordered the first man who fired
executed as a traitor to his country.”
It became known here today, with
the, departure of General Scott for
Naco, Ariz., from El Paso, that Gen-
eral Elias Calles will be permitted to
take his troops through the United
States to Agua Prieta from Naco,
Sonora, in 'order to avoid any danger
of a clash between Villa’s troops un-
der General Juan Cabral and Car-
ranza’s under General Calles.

of Rus&eBxfap, Abu, says:

with it over the right eye. The force
of the blow crushed his skull and ren-
dered him unconscious. Death en-
sued in about an hour after receiving
the blow. The only resistance which
he appeared to have offered when she
went to strike him was to throw up
his right arm to ward off the lick.
The hand and wrist were skinned, as
if by the stick in descending on his
forehead.
There were four children in the
family the eldest of whom is a girl
seventeen years of age, but none of
them were in the room at the time and
were not eye witnesses. The dead
man was fifty-four years old and his
wife thirty-seven. They have three
married daughters. Sheriff Jack
Martin was notified at 9 o’clock of
the tragedy and he reached the place
at 10:30 o’clock and carried Mrs-
Strops to Clarksville. She admitted
hitting her husband with the stick,
but said that she didn’t intend to kill
him.
She waived preliminary examina-
tion before the justice of the peace,
who placed her bond at $1,000 to
await the action of the grand jury,

the conditions are ideal. That this is
true, is proved by the fact that those
who have planted vineyards and given
them proper care hgve met with
great success. The fact that so many
types of grape are found growing
wild over the state is also proof that*
grape growing could be made profit-
able.
Select a soil that is medium in fer-
tility, and if possible a gentle slope
to the south or southeast should be
chosen. In planting a home vineyard
there are several things to be taken
into consideration.
Quality.—Plant only those varieties
that are of the highest quality.
Quantity.—Enough should be plant-
ed to give an abundant supply for the
whole family, and then a few extra
ones for the neighbors. This will in-
duce them to plant a vineyard at
home.
Variety.—As great a variety as pos-
sible should be planted, beginning
with the earliest and ending with the
latest varieties to be found. In this
way we can have grapes fresh from
the vineyard from early July until
frost. Plant those varieties that are
known to do well in your neighbor-
hood.
There are quite a few varieties that
do well in this state. For convenience,
I have divided them into early, mid-
season and late varieties:
Early—Campbell Early,
Early, Early Ohio, Delaware,
Mid-season.—Concord, Lutie, Lind-
ley, Niagara, Salem.
Late.;—Goethe, Norton’s Virginia,
Bacchus.
The, Concord, though one of the
most widely grown of varieties, has
a tendency, especially in the southern
part of the state, to ripen unevenly.
The home vineyard will not be com-
plete without planting a few vincis
of the Rotundifolia type. These re-,
semble quite closely the wild musca-
dine found so commonly in the South-
ern states. The James, Miesch, Eden
and Flowers are the most common
varieties grown.
jfaw is the time of year to plant the
vineyard. Order the vines now and
prepare the land before they arrive
so that they can be set out at once.

BUGLER’S TRICK WON BATTLR

Laredo, Tex., Jan. 11.—Details of
thq battle of Saltillo, which ended
yesterday for defeat of the 15,006 Car-
ranza troops attacking about 10,000*
Vi|la troops, indicate the trick of one,
man was responsible for the Carranza
retreat. He was a bugler who by pro*
arrangement deserted the Villa forces'
joining the Carranza troops At a.giv-*
en signal, after he had joined the .be-,
siogehs, this bugler sounded calls fa-,
dieating that the enemy was on all
aides of the Carranza troops. Other
puglers took up his call believing it
had been ordered from headquarters.
Villa forces attacked, and the Carran-
za troops retreated in disorder.
Losses of life are reported heavy.
The Carranza troops, which retreat-
ed | toward Monterey, reported that
thqy checked the pursuit of the Villa
forces about midnight between Sal-
tillp and Monterey. a
