Lee Richards Tells of Needs Of Company M on Border.

I received my discharge from Co. M on July 7, and before I left all the boys of the company asked me to remember them to their wifes, mothers and fathers and friends, and to «ay that they were all well and feeling in the best of spirits and for no one to be worried about them as they were all perfectly wilting to go and do .the best they could for what they had been called upon to do. Our company was in the best of condition when called to go to the border. We were the first in the regiment to be ready to go. The real truth is, we were first in everything that happened at Fort Harrison. We received the compliment of being the best drilled company in all the camp. Also, when we had sanitary inspection, Lieut. C. A. Tuteur told our company that we had the cleanest and best quarters of any. When the members were vaccinated and inoculated for typhoid and smallpox, we only had three members who had to be excused from duty on account of sickness from the effects of the treatment, while other companies had as high as 30 or 40 men sick who could not do their work, so it can be readily seen that our company is in good shape and will make good on the border.

I will also say that our company was the best fdd company there. The credit for this will have to be given to the officers and Quartermaster Caen. We had all the government allowed and more, too. In behalf of the company we heartily extend our thanks to the ladies of the Pocahontas for the valuable present each member of Company M received to wear in the hot climate in Texas, which will be of great benefit to all. We also want to thank the many other people who contributed to the company fund, which will come mighty handy while on the border. Tobacco, stamps, postcards, combs or other useful articles will be of great help to the boys, a 3 they are where money is scarce and hard to get. A number of men asked me to have the people here who could, .to go and see their wives and give them good cheer, and did not want the people to take this as a case of charity, as these men all went because they wanted to go for their country’s cause and did not want to be looked upon as charity because there are enough of us at home to provide for their families and not to call upon the charity board for help. Also want the people to know that our company has the best of officers and they are doing their best for our company. LEE RICHARDS. •Lee wishes to be remembered to .a'.! members of Company M.

VILLA TO ATTACK U. S. AGAIN

Carranza In Statement to U. S. Officials, Asserts That Mex. Bandit Prepares for Another Raid. " ■ . ,i The conciliatory reply of the United States government to Carranza’s note had not had time to reach the Mexican embassy today before the first move in a campaign of co-operation against bandits threatening the United States border was suggested by the de facto government of Mexico. Carranza, through Ambassador Arredondo, notified the state department that a de facto government force had been destroyed by a large band of Villa followers at Corralitos on Wednesday. Carranza expressed the fear that this band had proceed-_ ed through the desert and might concentrate near the border for a new raid into United States territary.

He suggested that the American troops on the border exercise particular vigilance along the border and promised meanwhile that every effort would be made by his own forces to pursue and capture the bandits. The dispatch containing the warning was at once turned over to Secretary of War Baker by the state department and telegraphed to General Funston. Means for dealing with the threatened raid will be decided upon at General Funston’s headquarters and officials express the belief that the Villa band will meet a warm reception if they attempt to cross the lihe. The presumed line of march which the band has taken is not within striking position of Pershing. General Funston’s most difficult problem will be to ascertain in advance at what point the invaders are making for and thereby be able to concentrate a sufficient force to meet them. Carranza’s willingness to keep track of the movement of Villa and his band and speedily expedite such information to Washington as evidenced by his report, is regarded in Washington as an excellent omen for the effective co-operation of the two governments to wipe oqt the Villistas in northern Mexico.

COMPANY M NOW ENROUTE TO BORDER

Quit Camp Ralston Friday Night With the Third Infantry—Departure a Joyous One For Soldiers. The Third Indiana infantry, of which Company M of Rensselaer is a part, entrained early Friday evening and started for the Mexican border. The regiment includes 827 men and officers. It is the second unit of the Indian?. National Guard to start for the border. Its destination is believed to be in the neighborhood of Brownsville, Texas. The departure of the third infantry was different from that of the first artillery battalion Thursday night. As the trains pulled out rousing cheers echoed through Camp Ralston Both the departing soldiers and tho?e in Camp Ralston joined in the cheering. There were very tearful farewells, which was in contrast to the artillery battalion. This was due to the faet that practically all of the members of the Third are from cities and towns out of the state, and their friends and relatives could not get into camp in time to see them off. Several hours were spent in installing ranges in the cars of the train and mess was to be served soon after the train started. The sides of the cars bore inscriptions of the names of the corhpany and the regiment. About the only sad men in camp when the second unit left were the former members of the companies who had been told that they could not go along. They were the men who were rejected because of some physical defect, in most cases a minor defect, but of such a nature that the examining physicians decided that they were not fit for service along the border. A number of officers were in the list, among them being Capt. John C. Lochner, quartermaster of the Third, First Lieutenant Arthur Halstead, of the Monticello company, First Lieutenant Leroy V. Bibler, of the Warsaw company, Capt. Wm. L. Richmond, commander of the Portland company, Lieutenant James L. Young, recently assigned as battalion quartermaster, and Gapt. Roy Lige, of Auburn. All haje or will be given an honorable discharge. Speedy preparations for entraining throughout the day were made by the men. Just at noon the bugles gave the signals for the tents to be dropped and in a few minutes not a tent used by the 800 men was left standing. Practically all afternoon was required to pack the tents and equipment in the cars. In addition to that, members of the regiment were assigned to the duty of cleaning up the grounds they had occupied. The regiment is traveling in three sections. Col. A. L. Kuhlman, commander of the regiment, is traveling on the first section with the third battalion under the command of Major Groll. Lieutenant Colonel George L. Freyermuth is on the second battalion, commanded by Major Healey, and the first battalion, commanded by Major Shaughness, is on the last section.

WHY ENDURE SUMMER COLDS. It isn't necessary to have a stuffed head, running nose. To cough your head off as it were. All you need do is to use Dr. Bell’s Pine-Tar-Honey. The soothing and healing balsams open the clogged air passages and in a, short time you get relief and start on the road to recovery. You* nose stops running, you cough less and you know you are getting better. Get a bottle, use/as directed. Keep what is left as a cough and cold insurance. (2

Nine young fellows in an Automobile passed through Rensselaer on their way to Marion, Ind., after a fishing trip to the Kankakee river. Before arriving in Rensselaer they framed up on one of their pals and had him placed under arrest when he arrived here, on a fake charge. J. J. Montgomery was called and let in on the joke and a fake arrest followed. The young fellow was allowed to .'make his escape while Officer Montgomery “was looking the other way.” He headed for the south part of iown, having previously made it up with the rest of the party that they pick him up latcd. When last seen he was going down the road at a merry clip, giving the rest of the bunch a good laugh at his expense. They were a good live bunch of young fellows and seemed to be'‘having a great time notwithstanding the fact that their automobile was several years behind the times. The young fellow who was made the butt of the joke was Philip J. Middleton, democratic candidate for county surveyor of Grant county. He was made the “goat” of the party after having tried to shoot' some wood duck in the Kankakee marshes. Mr. and- Mrs. L. Thomas, of Foresman, spent yesterday with his sister, Mrs. Oscar Layman.

Judgement Given Babcock & Hopkins For $2,355.

The suit for an accounting of Babcock & Hopkins against Dr. J. H. Hansson was tried before ludge Hanley yesterday and resulted in a verdict against Hansson of $2,355. The suit was the result of a contract between the parties by which they were to sell automobiles, the agreement being that they were to share equally in the profits of the business. Hansson was the retive selling agent and effected the sale of most of the cars, which were of the Studebaker make. The plaintiffs were in a position, they claimed, to get prices at times that were great bargains, and this fact was set forth as an offset to Hansson’s work in effecting the sales. The contract was entered into Sept. 16, 1914, and terminated in May, 1915, but a settlement was never made between the parties, as they could mot agree upon the amount, and the suit was the result. The amount demanded was $2,700. At one time Hansson offered the plaintiffs $1,700 in settlement. It is understood that both parties to the suu will accept the verdict >f the court. W. H. Parkinson represented the plaintiffs and George A. Williams the defendant.

Paul Miller Working as Life Guard At Indianapolis.

Paul MiJler, formerly of Rensselaer and a graduate of Rensselaer hign school, is now working as a life saving guard at one of the Indianapolis pools and helped to rescue three children from drowning Friday. Three children, two boys and one girl, were rescued from drowning near Fail Creek and Central avenue by Miller and H. L. Browning, who are stationed there. It was necessary to resort to the use of artificial respiration to bring one of the children back to life. Carl Viebahn, commissioner of recreation, rtates that seven lives have been saved by life guards at municipal bathing beaches since the playgrounds were opened five days ago. The recent high water has caused the current to be swifter than usual of late and the guards are not permitted to leave the beaches for an instant.

SHOULD SLOAN’S LINIMENT GO ALONG? Of course it should! For after a strenuous day when your muscles have been exercised to the limit an application of Sloan's Liniment will take the soreness and stiffness away and get you in fine shape for the morrow. You should also use it for a sudden attack of toothache, stiff neck, backache, stings, bites and the many accidents that are incidental to a vacation. “We would as soon leave our baggage as go on a vacation or camp out without Sloan’s Liniment,” writes one vacationist. “We use it for everything from cramps to toothache.” Put a bottle in your bag; be prepared and have no regrets.
