O’Shaughnessy and Wife Safe at Vera Cruz After Perilous Trip From Huerta’s Capital.

FEDERALS BURN A CITY , Rioting in Nuevo Laredo, a Mexican Border City, Resulted in the Firing of the Town and the Necessity of Using U. S. Bullets to Drive the Huerta Soldiers Away—ln a Wild Orgy They Burned and Dynamited Buildings—The Prop* erty Damage is Estimated at $500,000—Seven Americans Are Threatened With Execution at Coroba. The Mexican crisis seemed a little nearer at hand when dispatches Friday night related the horrors that threatened Americans at Mexico City and also of the risky ride which Charge O’Shaughnessy and wife and child had to reach Vera Cruz.' It was necessary for troops to go some distance down the Mexican railroad and give the American Charge the protection of the stars and stripes. Vera Cruz, is now orderly and quiet, but the American elufb house at Mexico City was stoned, the stars and stripes were trampled under (foot and Americans everywhere insulted. The hatred of Villa for Huerta, it is said, will prevent a union of forces and Secretary Bryan has sent another note to Carranza, Uniforming him that the United Slates is friendly to the rebel cause and

So it will be “Eli and Jane” tonight and Harry does not blush to admit that he is very desirous Of having the house packed from the (fact that he needs the money as well as because he has an eversion to empty seats.

wants only redress from Huerta and that if Carranza and the part of the country he represents will only remain neutral the cause he stands for will be saved, while if he joins with Huerta the outcome will 'be the loss of Carranza’s influence. Secretary Bryan, so a dispatch says, has threatened to withdraw from the cabinet if President Wilson declares war. Nuevo Laredo is a Mexican city on the northern border and federal soldiers rioted there Friday and destroyed property valued at $500,000, firing some buildings and dynamiting others. In order to stop the orgy U. S. troops fired into the soldiers and forced them to evacuate the town. Two were reported killed. . Seven Americans are held by Mexican soldiers at Ooroba between Vera Cruz and Mexico City and are threatened with, execution. Indications still point to further serious trouble and preparations are being made to have the militia oif the various states ready to mobilize on short notice. In Indiana Adjutant-General Bridges stated Friday that he had received no word, but that he desires all companies to recruit new members and place them in training. In Indianapolis thirty-five recruits were being trained Friday at the new armory.

DISTRICT CONVENTION AT VALPARAISO TUESDAY

Indications That Will R. Wood, of Lafayette, Will Receive the Nomination. Republicans of the tenth congressional district of Indiana will meet at Valparaiso next Tuesday, April 28th, to nominate a candidate for congress. There are only two avowed candidates, Will O. Thomas, of Monticello, for whom the Jasper county delegates are expected to cast their votes, and State Senator Will R. Wood, of Lafayette, who seems to have the inside track and for whom our own delegates hold a feeling of admiration. The Monon is to run a special train from Lafayette to Valparaiso. It will go over the Michigan City branch and it is probable the delegates who go from Rensselaer wiM catch the special at San Pierre, going from here via Shelby. There is a general belief that the tenth district lhas an excellent chance to elect a republican congressman fhis year and the Valparaiso convention will give the party a candidate that it can tbe proud of and ask men of other parties to support

“BLIND TIGER” WAS RAIDED AT MT. AYR

Job Miller and August Buck Had Several Barrels of Bottled Beer and Some Whiskey. Two healthy ‘'blind tigers” were raided ait Mt Ayr Tuesday by Sheriff Dowling and Deputy Prosecutor F. M. Boas, of Kcntiand. The ‘'tigers” were in'the keeping of Job M. Miller and partner, George Eggleston, and August Buck. Eight barrels of bottled beer, several bottles Of whiskey and a quantity of port wine were confiscated, taken to Kentiand and the men were placed under arrest and lodged in jail. The men were in their places of business when the officers struck town and began their search. Miller stood his grounds but Buck and Eggleston started up the railroad track. The officers were tipped off and deputized 'two men who went after the fleeing custodians of the ‘'tigers,” overtaking them and returning them to 'Mt. Ayr, Where they were placed in the charge of the sheriff.

In Miller’s place there was found five 'barrels of Pabst bottled beer and a quantity oif whiskey and port wine. Miller’s place is in (a new building! in which there was found a cleverly devised entrance way in the floor to basement where there was a ram about 10 feet square, which was Shelved. This room was supposed to be for a large supply of goods but nothing woe in it the beer and other ‘booze” being in the main room. Miller, who is reported to have been intoxicated, tried to throw ihimseM out Of the oar on the /Way to Kemtland. The. car was traveling over a macadamized load at a rate of 25 miles an hour at the itame. He was held In and after a long struggle 'the car stopped at a farm house and procured a rope with Which to tie him up. He then consented to be good and made no more trouble. They were given a preliminary hearing at Kerutlaind and bound over to the circuit court Miller’s bail was fixed at SSOO and Buoh’s and Eggleston’s at $250 elaoh. They remained in jail over night and the next day furnished bail and were released.

It hias been reported for a long time (that (beer and whiskey could easily be procured at Mt. Ayr and the evidence found to" these eases should result in convictions with severe punishment. We believe it is the second time that Miller has been arrested on the Same charge and it seem® certain that It will take a Jail sentence to correct (his disposition to violate the liquor laws and disgrace the lair name of Mt. Ayr. The good people there should unanimously stand with, the officers and make this a final cleaning of the law-breaking element.
