SHORT PASSING EVENTS
In the case of Spencer vs. the Mutual
Aid Banking and Trust Company, in
which the plaintiff was suing for dama
ges on account of the fact that the d '
fendant delivered to her son, Carl
Spencer, a minor, bills of lading f r
cases of whiskey, and which catne up n
the Supreme Court Wednesday, the
action was dismissed.
Recently there has been much com
plaint about the bad condition of the
railway trussing at the corner of South
Front and Hancock streets. Several
serious accidents have been averted and
It is high time that something was dne.
If a broad drive w.iy wai laid across
the tracks it would be a great improve
ment and this should be done without
delay.
Rapid progress is being made on the
erection of the H H. L J. A. Meadows
Fertiliser Company's new plant at

New Bern. A large force of workmen
are now engaged In the work on thi
structure, When completed, this plant
will be mi of the largest and anoat
modern fertll'iar plants in this section
of the State.

Rescuing Party Crossed Kivtfcr
From Texas Shot. ' Baiidi
its
Repulsed. :
Sierra Blanca, Tex., Feb. 29 -rA
band pf vasquistaa, barf insurgent, half
bandit, attacked the Nelson Mortis
ranch at Cuervo, Mex., efrly Tuesdjay
after their demand for stores, horses
apd equipment had been denied py
Brown Paschall, the manager: Te
ranch is one of the largest' in northern
Mexico, and' most of the men on it are
Americans. Paschall arid "Smoky"
Miller, the foremen, directed a sharp
resistance, while a Mexican cowboy car
ried word of the siege to his town.
Couriers spread the word to the ranches
along the Texas side of the Rio Grande,
and a rescue party of twenty-seven cow
boys crossed the river without delay.
They rode hard and reached the ranch
just as the bandits were withdrawing
after an hour's sharp fight. The ranch
men had borricaded themselves in an
adobe building used as headqnarters,
and had escaped casualties.
The insurgents fired on the rescuers
as they drew wkhin range, and three of
the Americans fell. The word that
reached here was that the Americans
were killed. The invaders thereupon
withdrew to the river and sent another
met sage to Sierra Blanca with an ur
gent call for reinforcement.
The cowboys and farmers are gather
ing in force, heavily armed and well
mounted. They plan to cross the river
in the course of the night and begin a
campaign of avengement. Another
band is gathering at Polaris and the
force will join. Paschall has refused
o withdraw from the ranch, in spite of
the Vasquista threat to return. Gen
Duncan, commanding the Department
of Texas, is expected to send two troops
of cavalry to Marfa, in the same neigh
borho d, tomorrow, and it the Ameri
cans at Cuervo are still besieged he will
make a demand for tliejr release.
Cuervo i twenty-two miles inland frm
the river.
The situation throughout the ter
ritory opposite Eagle Pass is said to be
desperate. Bands of Vesq'iistas, num
bering 800 altogether, are ranging the
country-aide, pillaging as they go.
Ojinaga, opposite Presidio, Tex., is
threatened with attack. A large com
mand of insurgents is encamped on the
banks of Concho, and has demanded the
surrender of the town.

of cleanliness for yojr neighbor's frnnt
