ARTILLERY MAY BE USED
ON TEXAS B<
Brownsville, Tex., Sept. 27.—In-
stead of crossing the Rio Grande in
pursuit of the Mexicans who invade
openly, as occurred last week, it was
suggested among army men today that
the use of mountain artillery may stop
these attacks. Apparently the use of
these guns would not involve the dan-
ger of hostilities with Mexico, such
as are threatened by the pursuit
across the border because the terri-
tory which cannon would sweep has
been declared Officially free from the
presence of any Carranza troops. Un-
der the wording of the orders Gen.
E. P. Nafarrate, Carranza commander
of this border, has issued, the Mexican
side of the Rio Grande for several
miles back from the river front, ex-
cept at Matamoros and other river
towns, is a no man’s zone.

he order was intended, Nafarrate
said, to keep his troops so far from
the river that they could not possibly
mix in th$ fighting with the American
soldiers. At the same time this order
was equivalent to a public notification
of all “bad men’’ on both sides of the
international line, such as smugglers
and fugitive bandits, that the zone
along the Mexican side of the river is
a refuge tor them because it will hot
be policed. It is believed that a few

' After a period of stagnation and business depression, we are
glad to announce the return of normal conditions with a feeling of
optimism in the minds of every one. It is true the country has been
in a condition where confidence has been shattered and every one
was afraid to make a move for fear of doing the wrong thing—BUT

Quick Action Necessary
The army in this section at present
has no mountain artillery- It has some
four point seven field guns and soi3e
siege guns of the same calibre, artil-
lery of nearly five-inch calibre, which
is too heavy for quick movement

the back of mules could reach the

The efforts made to trap the Rus-

last summer after the taking of War-

tunity for success in the Vilna region
appeared much more promising. The
assaults upon Dvinsk have been check-
ed by the brilliant defense of General
Ruzsky. and the operations here have
come to a temporary standstill due to
the exhaustion of both combatants

dictment, alleging that it referred to

by Judge Nicholson.

port, numbered about sixty, and were
deserters from one of the Mexican
armies. They first derailed the train,

to Torres, after which they placed
the passengers, mostly women and
children, in the ha7 car and applied
the torch. So far as is known, no
Americans were on the train.

MULE’8 EAR A BEEHIVE. ■
C. E. Edgecross, of Hastings Center,
Oswego county, recently took one of
his mules from the pasture where It
had been for several weeks, and wlule
hitching it up noticed several bees fly-
ing around the animal’s head. Fear-
ing that their presence would bring
an attack of nerves to the mule he
shooed them off, but they promptly
returned and disappeared in the ani-
mal’s right ear. Mr. Edgecross in-
vestigated, and says he found -the
bees had swarmed in the lower part
of the ear and had deposited a con-
siderable amount of honey in the
comb. The swarm was dislodged, the
honey cleaned out, and it was found
that the interior of the ear was in-
flamed from stings. Mr.. Edgecross
lost a hive of bees a few weeks ago.—

GERMAN L088E8 ARE
PLACED AT 40,000 MEN
Paris, Sept. 27.—Military critics
estimate that the German killed and
wounded in the big battles of the last
two days la the Artois and Cham-
pagne regions must easily equal the
number of prisoners taken. Hence
they reckon the Geridan total losses
at not less than 40,000, equaling the
size of an army corps.
