TnOOPS CLEARK1G ; AV7AYTHE DEBRIS Work of Restoring Ruined Section of Mexico City Started Promptly. ' (National Nrwi Association) Mexico City, June 8. Tbree thousand , troops today are clearing away the debrla left by the earthquake of
yesterday and slowly uncovering the dead. The complete death roll will not be known for several days, but according to the latest police estimate 185 persons lost their lives. Many of those believed to be dead are recorded as "missing' and may be found later to have been among those who fled from the city when the first shock was felt. Two hundred and Ifty are In the hospitals. The property loss amounts to about $100,000. , . ' Until this morning the earch for the dead was confined to the main city, but when the work waa extended to the outlying auburba it was found that many had been crushed to death by the collapse of the adobe and brick houses. From midnight on rescuing parties reported at the general hospital with injured victims until 73 were being cared for. "Many others are being cared for at the homes of friends. . The heaviest loss of life aa atated la the Irst advices sent out, was among the soldiery in the old barracks. Nearly all of those asleep in the building were killed. That the fatalities were not much heavier there
was due to the fact that nearly half
of the artillerymen had left their quarters without leave and were elsewhere la the city when the disaster occurred, the ruined barracks shortly after midnight and were immediately arrested.
Though the earthquake was the heavi
est recorded since the Arapulco disaster of two yours ago. the damage was insignificant as compared with the actual loss of life. This waa due to the fact that the first and heaviest shock was only fifteen seconds duration. Though It cracked many of the large buildings. It did not last long enough to ahatter them. The main effect was felt on the small buildings that went to pieces in a moment.

CAMPFIELD IS SUED But Nothing Was Found to , 'Levy On. Rising out of his contract with the state for the construction of the Southeastern Indiana hospital for the insane at Madison. Indiana, which Is now nothing but an unpleasant memory, an execution was taken in the Marion circuit court against E. M. Campfield
of this city by the India Lumber com
pany of Indianapolis.. An execution calling for settlement in the sum of
approximately $950 waa received here but no action taken by the sheriff,' as Campfield had nothing on which to levy. In 1905 Campfield secured the contract for the construction of the hospital buildings and by the Aetna Indemnity company of Hartford, Conn., gave $300,000 bond to the. state. The India Lumber company, alleges in its action that Campfield purchased a $900 oroder of material from it and made payment in the sum of about $200. .But though credited with this, the Interest on the unpaid amount, attorney's fees and other expenses, brlnf the total judgment against Campfield to approximately $950. The insurance company, the surety for Campfield In the hospital contract, was defendant in the suit, but defaulted. Campfield's contract was revoked by the state.

LETTERS GIVEN TO HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
' Members of last year's Richmond
high school basket ball team were pre
sented "with the school "R" at the chapel exercises yesterday morning. They were Harold Taggart, Albert
Mayer, Edward Laning, Clarence
Hoover and Paul Schepman. Honor
able mention was given to Caster, Mil
ler, Gustin and Barnes. The school initial was also given to the members of the debating team. Miss Frances O'Brien. Miss Eleanora Shute, and
Fred Girty. Virgil Porterrield, who prepared the rebuttal used' in the debates, . was remembered with a token
of esteem.
Following inspection of the jail and
county property adjacent thereto on Wednesday the county commissioners decided to have the jail painted this summer and to make other repairs,
which were necessary. Though some
small cottages on South A street, own
ed by the county was painted by jail
labor, and the -cement walks at the jail made by the inmates, under su
pervision of an inspector, the county commissioners felt it would be best to have the jail painting job done b
contract, rather than" to "put the prisoners on the work, the county purchasing the material and employing a
superintendent to see that the work
was properly done.
Bids for the painting contract for
the jail will be advertised . for soon. The county saved considerable money
by having prispn Jabor paint the cottages and put down the cement walks, and it was argued that an equally large saving id proportion to the size of the job could-be effected by having the inmates paint the jail property.
However, as the county would have
to purchase ladders, pulleys and other equipment, the commissioners felt it
would be best to have a contractor do the work. ' Prisoners, who are- experi
enced at painting, probably will be
permitted 'to assist in the painting of the jail, in case they so desire to spend their time , in this manner. Should this be done whatever work they do will be deducted from the contract.
TO BUILD BRIDGE AT THE GLEN NOW The city clerk waa ordered to advertise .for bids for the concrete arch bridge in Glen Miller park, at a meeting of the board of works this morning.
