BRIDGE IS NEEDED ON WORK STREET

(Petition Signed by Practically Every Person to Whom Presented—Should be Built. A petition has been circulated in Rensselaer asking Trustee Harvey J. Wood to take steps for the erection of a bridge across the Iroquios river at Work street, whldh is the street at the south end of Front street. The approaches for a bridge at that point were built several yeans ago and a bridge would be a great convenience to the people of both the city and country. Practically every person in Rensselaer has signed the petition and it is believed there will be no serious opposition to its construction. As it is at this time persons in the south 'part of town on one side of the river are compelled to go to the Washington street bridge to get lactloss the river, going almost a half mile out of the way. Since a bridge for that point was first requested after the dredge ditch was completed about five years have elapsed. It will be necessary in order to secure the bridge to bring the matter to the attention of the commissioners and to secure an appropriation from the county couniSK, I* will be a big improvement anef one that wilT benefiit' thie entire city and especially the south side.

OUTLAW GENERAL IN A $1O,OOO HOLDUP

Quaveda Demands Sum From American Gattie Company—>l,ooo,ooo In Cattle May Die of Thirst. El Paso, Tex., May B.—The demand of General Rodrigo Quevedo that three large American cattle companies give him sums aggregating SIO,OOO under threat that he ulould destroy the windmills on their land, has not been complied with. When the time limit fixed by Quevedo expired at sundown tonight, the money had not been left, as he directed, at a lonely hacienda near Nogales, Ariz. Instead the three cattle companies have made pressing appeals for protection to General Villa, General Carranza and W. J. Bryan, American secretary of '.state. It is estimated that if the windmills are destroyed a million dollars worth of cattle would die of •thirst within a week. "Quevedo formerly was a brigadier general in the Mexican regular army and still is said to maintain a nominal alliance to Huerta. When Chi-, huOlhua passed into possession of the constitutionalists, it i/said he escaped across the border, where he recruited a band of deserters and refugees and led them back into Chihuahua.

HUERTA ARMS WILL LAND UNMOLESTED

U. S. Warships Will Not Attempt to Interfere With Cargo on German Steamship at Puerto, Mexico.

Washington, May B.—Navy department officials said tonight warships of the United States would m|ake no effort to prevent the landing of arms and ammunition for the Huerta government at Puerto, Mexico. Rear Admiral Badger had reported the German Steamship Kron Prinze&in Cecelie, believed to have on board munitions of war, was due to arrive at Puerto early today, and that another vessel was understood to be on the way. Officials pointed out that if the ship had reached port on time, she had discharged her cargo during the day, more than likely, and that a train which brought refugees to Puerto yesterday, probably already whs carrying the munitions t» Huerta's capital. The United States has no ships at Puerto, Mexico, now and it is said none will be sent there. It was suggested today that the state department might seek to have the shipments of arms held up through the German government, but so tar as Is known, no action along that Hue has been taken.
