CARVING AND SHOOTING
HERE SATURDAY NIGHT
A carving and a shooting'' affair
marred what otherwise would have
been a peaceful, quiet and unventful
night in police circles Saturday. Both
were serious, although it is believed
that the victims in each affair will re
cover. The first of the events occurred ear
ly in the evening in the bottom beyond
Chestnut street, near Second. Pattie
Echols, a daughter of Ham, became en
raged at "Sis" Jenkins, also a daugh
ter of Ham, it is said, and stabbed her
in the back with a "frog sticker" that
the police claim was "some knife." Pa
trolman Dalton, who returned from
Norfolk Saturday morning, was on the
job, and had Pattie in the "cooler" in
just a few minutes, while "Sis" was
rushed to the city hospital, from
which she was discharged late Sunday
afternoon, according to the police.
The case will be tried in the city
court as soon as "Sis" is able to ap
pear and swear against rattle.
There was nothing much to the
shooting affair which ocourred at a lat
er hour except that a dingy named
Hunt shot Jim Williams, also of color,
the result of which is that Jim is now
in the hospital with a hole in his nos
tril, while Hunt is languishing in a coll
in the municipal building. Hunt claims
the shooting was entirely accidental.
Patrolman II. W. Bryan arrested
Hunt, who will be tried in the munici
pal court as soon as the victim is able
to stand trial.

MEXICANS CUT PHONE
WIRES INTO NOGALES.
Nogalcs, Ariz., June 19. All . tele
phono and telegraph wires leading
from the American to the Mexican side
of the border have been cut in Son-
ora. Americans are being brought to
the border in automobiles from Narco
zari, where an anti-American demon
stration occured yesterday. Carranza
authorities previously had refused a
train for the refugees. . . t
Immediate arrangements for bring
ine out American employes in mines
in Sonora met with opposition by Gen
eral Calles, military commander of the
State of Sonora, who arrived at Agua

safety of their employes. The general

Petrograd, Juno 19 (Via London).
The capture by tho Russians of Czer

day by the Kussian War Office.
Vienna, June I1 (Via London. The
evacuation of Czernowitz by the Aus
trlans after the Russians had forced
the Pruth and penetrated the city was
announced by the War Office yester
day. "Yesterday," says the official state
ment, "the garrison of .the bridgehead
at Czernowitz withdrew before supe
rior enemy fire. During the night the
enemy at several points forced a pass
age of the Pruth and penetrated Czor
nowita, which we evacuated."
London.June U. Czernowitz. capital
of the Austrial Crownland of Huko
wina, is in the hands of the Russians,
and the Austrians who had been hold
ing it are in retreat toward the Carpa
thian mountains. Hard fighting took
place in the cauture of Czernowitz
bridegehead and in the passage of the
River Pruth, but when finally the Rus
sians gained the right bank of the riv
er the Austrians evacuated the capital,
leaving one thousand prisoners and
some guns in the hands of the Rus
sians. To the north in Gallcla and Volhy
nia, the Russians are meeting with des
perate resistance on tho part of the
Austro-Hungarians and Germans, some
of the latter of whom are declared by
Petrograd to have been brought from
the French front in an endeavor to
aid in stemming the Russian ad
vance. While Petrograd asserts that the
Russians are repulsing the counter
attacks, pressing the Teutonic Allies
farther back and taking from' them
large numbers of prisoners and quanti
ties of w ar material, both Vienna and
Berlin report victories in Galicia and
Volhynia.
Vienna says that north of the Llpa
river, in Galicia the Austrians put
down a Russian attack, gaining ground
nd took 900 prisoners, while Berlin
asserts that along the Styre on both
sidee of Kolko and between the Lutsk
road and the Turya sector, the Ger
mans under General von Linsingen re
pulsed Russian attacks and captured
3,146.Russians an some guns.
El Paso, Juno 19. Develop
ments crowding on the heels of
each other in the last 36 hours
caused excitement today parallel
ing that following the Colum
bus raid three mouths ago.
Military authorities admitted
that every preparation had been
mado for eventualities.
General Bell, commanding this
military district, seems confident
today that with the 3,500 troops
on station here he is prepared to
cope with any emergency. Somo
consideration, however, was given
a rumor that a body of Carranza
soldiers, estimnted at 5,1)00 is en
camped 20 miles south of Juarez,
prepared if necessary to rein
force the garrison of 4,000 and
8,000 Carranza troops left Villa
Ahumada, 83 miles south, yester
day for El Valle, southeast ot
Dublan, one of General Per
shing's field bases. This report
could not be confirmed and was
not generally believed.
Reports were also current to
day that General Trevlno, Car
ranza commander of the army of
the north, Is arming all male citi
zens over the age of 18, following
the recruiting command issued re
cently by the Mexican war minis
ter. News that the fourth expedi
tion had been withdrawn from
Mexico after a brief command and
Secretary Baker's statement that
the new draft for national guards
men is for border duty only as
needed and not for increasing
General Pershing's command had
a quieting effect today. While
large numbers of persona gather
ed around the Plaza in Juarez the
excioment as in Kl Paso was con
fined largely to speculation as to
eventualities. With tho military
on both banks of tho river taking
increased precautions, no demon
strations wore attempted.
Americans just out of Mexico
expressed the belief today that
the war fever in the northern
states of the republic is likely to
cool as suddenly as It has arisen.
They base their opinion on the
harsh reality of economic condi
tions there.

munication from the Mexican em
bassy announcing there had been
a clash between a boat crew from
the gunboat Annapolis and Car
ranza soldiers at Macatlan yes
terday and asking that in the pres
ent tense situation no men be
landed in Mexico from Amorlcan
warships under any circumstan
ces were delivered to tho Stuto

today. The reply will Inform Carranza
that the American troops will not be
recalled until the de facto govern
nient Is in position to protect the
Amorlcan border from invasion by
bandits.
The embassy communication
brought the Washington government
tho first news of trouble at Mazatlan
According to tho Mexican version,
confusion followed attempts to land
marines from the warship. . There
was an exchange of shots and two
American officers were held lindor
arrest until explanations could be
made.

at Mazatlan were marines but as the

ed a wharf and was warned off until
permission to land could be obtained.

returned with Its crew. The officer
in command was told permission for

ments ensued. Soldiors and civilian
had gathered and In tho midst of the
discussion a drunken Japanese fired
a shot at the Americans who fired
into the crowd. Carranza soldiers re
turned the fire and the boat withdrew

men by telephone and by messenger,
ordering them to report at tho armory

Volunteers.
A call has been Issued for volun
teers. Captain Wooten said this
morning that he would proceed at
once to recruit his company to full
war strength, the minimum of which
Is 108 men. There are now only a
few over fifty men on the roll. While
the order received this morning may
not mean anything, Captain Wooten
Is taking no chances. He is going to
be ready in the event thai he is ord
ered to Camp Glenn, where the North
Carolina troops who are picked for
duty on the border will mobilize.
Recruiting Station.
First Lieutenant H. Beck, the re
cruiting officer of the local company,
has opened a recruiting station in the
armory and within an hour after the
order was received by Captain Vvoot
en, he had enlisted three men. At
this rate it will not take the company
any great length of time to have the
enlistments total 100 men.
A number of the members of
Company C moved their homes to the
Armory today and will sleep there for
the next few nights until it Is learned
whether they will be ordered to Camp
Glenn. This Is in compliance with a
general order received by Captain
Wooten some months ago.
Captain Wooten said this morning
that he would continue to recruit un
til his force totalled 108 enlisted
men. Whe,n sixty has been readied,
he will telegraph the office of the
adjutant general. If they are to be
ordered to Camp ' Glenn at all, the
moving orders probably will reach the
city within the next fire days. All
the field equipment on hand will ba
taken, and all of the men except a
small recruiting detail which will re
