The ertire of the store was in flames when the firemen arrived and some little delay was occasioned when the caps on the water hydrants stuck. It is believed that the cause of this is due bLoth to corrosion of the brass couplings and a drying of the packings put in the hy- drants when they were inspected last fall. Three lines of hose were used at { the fire. One was played on the blazing interior of the stors and the other two were directed on adjoining vroperty to prevent the spread of the flames. The store is a small wooden addition to a larger tenement house and it required strenuous efforts to kecep the fire from spreading.

Barker, foreman of the Kel- ly ranch, said he saw a number of mounted head of cattle belonging to Kelly. He ran to a neighboring ranch house and called his employe on the long distance telephone here. In the meantime three of the raiders jollowing the cattle went to the Kelly ranch house and threatened the Mex- ican assistant foreman with death if he interfered with them. A False / Word was immediately sent to the troops on patrol duty at Fabens, two miles east of the ranch, and to Ysleta, ‘eight miles in the other direction. T'wo detachments of the Eighth cav- alry, accompanied by four Texas rangers, were sent in pursuit of the raiders. After three hours search shey returned to camp, and Captain G. W. Moses reported to General Bell that nothing had been seen of the Mexicans and that he believed the whole affair to be a false alarm. Earker, however, insisted on the truth of his story. The reportetd rald served to give a fresh start to the alarming reports bout the attitude of the Mexicans and conditions in the interior, which have kept residents here in a state hordering on hysteria ever since the American troops crossed the border. This feeling had seemed to be dying wway for the last couple of days. Matters were not improved by the iws from Washington that General Carranzi had again deferred a de- oision on the question of permitting the use of the Mexican railroads for the transportation of supplies to the American troops in the field. larm, o Carranza Forces Leave Him.

Suspicious Fire Monday. Fire started in the building on Monday morning in a closet in Miss | Reimer’s room, and she was rescued by firemen and taken to a hospital The fire was easily extinguished Mi; Reimer was nearly -suffocated. She revived in the hospital, however, and last night returned to her room. According to the story she told the police today a masked man entered her room shortly after 1:30 a. m., gagged her and bound her hands and feet after which he started a fire in the room with paper. She managed to get to her feet and hobble out of the room, but not { before the fire had spread and other occupants of the building had becorne alarmed. She hobbled down the hall and entered the apartment of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Melchoir. Mrs. Mel- choir had just jumped from the win- dow, and Melchoir was hanging onfo the sill from the outside ready to drop when Miss Reimer hobbled over to the window. The crow outside yelled to Melchoir not to jump and he clambered back into the room and cut Miss Reimer’s bonds. He then lift- ed her out of the window and both the girl and himself were carried down. an extension ladder raised by firemen. Miss Reimer was burned about the right shoulder and was taken to the hospital which she had quit on the previous day. Police are hunting for the masked man.

For this reason it was decided to make inquiry of Germany. A ma- jority of the cabineet members, how- cver, believed preliminary reports clearly indicated the Sussex was tor- redoed. Tt is said that the president is seriously considering laying the whole submarine situation before congres: personally before making any move that might lead to the breaking off of diplomatic relations with Germany.
