Estaclon. Mex.. May 19. (Via El

cisco Villa, leading 4100 constitution
alist troops, won the first Important

ter a decisive defeat, but he thus

ments at Saltillo which would have
added materially to the defensive force
of the objective point of the campaign.
He also captured supplies which would
have been of value to the garrison of
Saltillo.

The term of the present court is two 1

that the murder case against Berry j

Th'j grand Jury yesterday re
turned a true bill against Alex H.
Urooks, but tiw Mark W. Brown, one j
of the attorneys for the defense, IS)
ill it is thought that the case will go .

The esse against Charles Stewart, I
charged with shooting his wife with I
intent to kill, was continued until the !

'Tal" Stafford, wh" reported here
last week to the Asheville club, was
released yesterday. Stafford failed j
to show up good In the box this year I
and It was believed that he was not
developing fast enoi:t;h tn b carried
on the local club any longer. He
played with the locu! clr.b last year
and at times his worlt was brilliant
but as a whole he did not stack up
well enough even last year for the
local club to hold him any longer this
season, In order for him to develop.
Ho was In Porto ltd o during the
winter, where he taught school, and
the local club was under the impres
sion that he would t,ot report hero
until July, even If then. But last week
Secretary T. M. Duekett received a
message from him from Raleigh, his
home, stating that he had just arrived
and was ready to report. He worked
In several games lu-re since then but
his work was not considered what it !
should have been.

Greensboro. May 51. Tho meeting
of the republican state executive com
mittee which has been called for May
26 In Greensboro by Chairman More
head is expected to develop some In
teresting political activities In the na
ture, of an effort to bring together the
republicans and progressives of the
state. There la a strong feeling that
the effort will be a success and that
the party will be reunited with a new
organization.
Since the call for the meeting was
Issued thcrp has been much specula
tion as to the purpose and outcome.
TafUtes are said to be anxious to see
tho party reunited upon some basis
that will make a strong and solid or
ganization. They will make conces
sions, if necessary to como to an un
derstanding and a harmonious frame
of mind la tho report. .
On the other hand ths progressives
are said to be willing to come togeth
er on a reasonable basis and with a
reasonable organisation. So that all in
all it appears that both aides are fig
uring toward reaching the same end,
a solid representation of strength. .
Questions that have arisen natural
ly In this speculation are, will More
head eliminate himself .from the
head-ship, and will the Morehead and
Williamson leaders put their should
ers and heads together to the choice
of a man beside whom both republi
can and progressive factions will
stand? To secure such a co-operation
and unity is believed by wiseacres to
be the principal purpose of the meet
ing here next Tuesday.
So far as Is known, no nah man
as Is desired has been decided on or
suggested, but that he is being sought
Is felt to be quite certain.
