Dr. Haffner, a German pas- senger on the train, who was mis- “taken by the bandits for an American, “was struck over the head by one of “the bandits who used his gun as a = club. Dr. Haffner was not seriously % injured. The bandits, who were in . ~command of Murga brothers and " U Silvestre Quevdo, then abandoned the = train, carrying the lpot away in mule- drawn wagons. There were approximately two hun- dred of the bandits in the command which held up the passenger train as it was approaching Laguna station. The bandits, silhouetted againset the skyline, could be seen plainly by the engine crew and passengers before he train was stopped but, because of the nature of the country, escape was impossible, After commnndigg the engineer to stop, one of the bandits went through the train ordering pas- engers to -Iight 50 they could be searched by other bandits.

WITH STATE MONEY Balance in Treasury Drops Million in Four Months’ Time, OLAIMS FALL (From a Staft Correspondent.) Lincoln, Nov. 2—(Special.)—Claims of democratic state officials that they have saved the state $1,000,000 and have kept it out of debt, may be good political dope to put out just before election, but when the facts are laid before the taxpayers they will dis- cover after election that the state- ment is not lnfr more reliable than many more which democratic candi- dates have been springing in order to keep themselves from going over the rink. The report of the state treasurer, issued today, shows that there is in the state treasury at the rrenent time $1,373,891.75. This looks like a pretty 0od showing for just before election, ut the figures taken from the treas- urer's office show that in the last ECONOMY The | four months the balance has fallen off ““l e 'f“ :R:‘Z“‘f nearly §1,000,000°and that it has been €| steadily going down hill and at the | rate set will be entirely wiped out when the final time comes for demo- | eratic officials to turn over their of- | fices to their republican sugcessors. The recards in the state treasurer’ ‘| office shows that there was on hand in the state treasury when t?e [lgly report was made, é ,786.37. 'Th report made tod: is on hand $1,373,891.75, a falling off lacking only a of just h little over a $1,000 of being as much as the §1 these same demo- cratic officials are going around the state and claiming they have saved the tax payers, 1 Now that the final windup is com- ing, the tax payers of the state will have a chance to see the effect of the so-aclled economical method practiced by the present administra- tion. They claimed everything in sight, notwithstanding the records show that the legislature appro- priated more money than any pre- vious legislature and amore than {wice as much as the last republican legis- lature, With more money to do business on than any group of state officers ever had before and claiming that their equalization board has lowered the taxes for the peogle of the pres- ent year, still the balance in the state treasury is lois& down at the rate of nearly $1,000,000 for the past four months and the worst is yet to_come, With five more ows that there months to ruh and the state treasury going to the bad at an average of over a quarter of million dollars a month, or, to be ex- 249,727 a month, most any man can figure just about how much red ink it will take to ma eka true show- ing on the wrong side of the ledger at the close of the biennium. figures for the last four shown by the records in the treasurer's office, show: September 3 1,461 October 81 ... 1,373,891.7 e | eral SUBSEA IS LANDED Fifty Members of New London Ohamber of Commerce Visit the Deutschland. INVITE OFFICERS TO DINE New London, Conn,, Nov. 2—Bags of mail brought across the seas by the German under-sea merchantman Deutschland, which arrived yesterday, were brought ashore tody. Shortly before noon Mayor E. F. Rogers, President M. T. Miner of the Chamber of Commerce, and about fifty members, constituting a commit- tee, waited upon Captain Koenig. There was a conference on the pier and the captain accepted an invita- tion to a dinner, to be given by the chamber, the time to be fixed later, The party was then divided into groups of five and each went on the submarine and looked it over. Captain T.'A. Scott of the Scott Wrecking comgln sent a diver down |alongside of thé Deutchland and he reported that there were fourteen holes in the anchor bulk head. These were probably made when the anchor dented the shell of the craft. The holes had caused some leakage on the trip over, Villa Bandit Leader Taken To El Paso for Execution El Paso, Tex,, Nov. 2.—Colonel Ro- sario Garcia, said to be a Villa bandit leader, will be brought to Juakez to be executed, it was announced,’ by Gen- Gonzales, commander of the Juarez garrison, today. Colonel Gar- cia was captured while looting the Santa Ana ranch, near Namiquipa, by Carranza troops, according to General Gonzales, Three of his men also will be brought to Juarez for execution, General Gonzales added. Colonel Gar- cia is said to have been carrying im- Korunt papers to Villa from one of i other commanders, Five other bandits were shot at San Buenaventura, near El Valle, Wednes- dn{, a report made to General Gon- zales from the commarnder of that garrison stated. Information received today by rep- resentatives of the United States gov- ernment here from Eagle Pass, stated that General Fortunato May- cotte's command had been cut to Kiecn by Villa_troops south of Chi- uahua City.

REPUBLICANS FEEL FINE (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Nov. 2.—(Special.)—As far | as sending out campaign literature is concerned both the republican’ state committee and the democratic state committee closed headquarters today and the forces of helpers have been discharged. Both headquarters will continue sending out correspondence for the next few days, however, re- taining no help but the stenographers. Chairman Langhorst of the demo- cratic committee says that he thinks the state will go for Wilson by 30,000, though he may have had his fingers crossed when he said it. Of course he claims the state ticket, but it is well known that the party has about given up hope of landing more than one or possibly two. Beach Feels Good. Chairman Beach of the republican committee is feeling good. “We've got ’em licked,” said he this morning, “and they know it.” The chairman is state ticket will be efected and be- lieves ‘that Hughes will pull out by a good majority. “Hughes is going to be elected sure,” said he, “without the help of Nebraska, but we are going to give him the state anyhow, just for good measure.” Victor Seymour, manager of the man Prince was fatally injured some time campaign of John L. Kennedy, is feel- ing mighgy fine over the situation as it is developing in the fight for United States senate. He would make no claim as to the Kennedy majority, but intimates that it will be so large that it will be known very early in the evening election night that he will be the next senator from Nebraska, Democrats Leave Wilson. It is being quietly understood that a large number of democrats, men in business, who have much to lose in the event the situation is not handled right after the war closes, are going to vote for Hughes. A well know: democrat, whose name is almost a househiold word in Nebraska, sur prised a friend last night by saying he was going to vote for Hughes, anc that there was a general turning to Hughes by prominent democrats throughout the state. “They are not talking, but will simply vote for their best interests as they see it on elec- tion. day,” said he. A well known labor leader said this morning to The Bee, “There 15 no question in my mind but that Hughes will carry New York, New Jersey and enough states' to elect him. I think he will carry Nebraska also. In fact, I am sure of it. The inteligent labor- ing man is not talking very much, but he is going to vote for Hughes. I have been in Omaha and I know that the average working man be- lieves that Hughes is a better friend of labor than President Wilson. His record suits us and we are going to support him.” McGuire Finds Hughes Sentiment is Growing T. J. McGuire, who has just re- turned from a speaking tour of the state, says he finds an increasing Hughes sentiment everywhere he goes. He spoke last evening at Dodge, the home of Joe Stecher, Friday evening at Newman Grove and Saturday evening at Wakefield. HUGHES WILL CARRY ' OHI0 AND INDIANA Republican Candidate Says He is Confident Both States Will Go for Him, SPEAKS AT BATAVIA, N. Y. Batavia, N. Y., Nov. 2—Charles E. Hughes declared today before an audience here that he is entirely con- fident of the election result in both Ohio and Indiana. “I have returned from a trip through Ohio and Indiana,” he said, “with a profound sense of gratification and entire confidence with respect to the result in both states. In Ohio and Indiana it is not exaggerating” to | say that 1 had receptions which, per- haps, exceeded those accorded to any other presidential candidate. “That was, of course, not/a tri}mtp to me personally, but it was an indi- cation of deep interest the people are taking in the essential conditions of their prosperity and their satisfaction that there is a great reunited repub- lican party ready for service at this critical time. “So far as promises go, no one can exceed the promises of our opponents, but we measure what they say by what they have done.” 3 Mr. Hughes assailed the democratic ) party for failure to reduce the high | cost of living, “as promised four years } ago,” and for extravagance. f ! { ¥or Children’s Cough.
