i i ¥ i 10 DEAD ARE BURNED IN " CHIHUAHUA STREETS City Iluminated by ‘“Human Torches” Following Its Cap- ture by Villa's Forces. WOUNDED FILL HOSPITALS Juarez, Mexico, Dec. 1.—Ancient | Juarez was in the back wash of bat- { tle today. Tonight the campfires of another remnant army burn on the plains to the south. Grim cannon are parked in the customs house yard with garlands of “jerked beef” hang- ing from-their muzzles. In box cars women camp follow- } ers of the Carranza soldiers cooked their meagre meals tonight over char- coal braziers, while barefooted chil- dren—many born on battle fields— shivered from the cold as they hovered in the lee of the big guns. Wounded Fill Hospitals. Since early morning this old bor- der town has been the scene of mili- tary actitivities. Soon after 7 today the first troop train brought the rag- ged survivors of the de facto force, which had fought at Chihuahua City against Villa, and had escaped to the north. Accompanying this train was a sanitary section consisting of !hrvcc second class coaches and one “white cross” hospital car. In these cars came more than 100 wounded sol- diers of the Carranza command, who H were rescued from the heaps of dying and brought to the border by their comrades. The hospitals are filled with wounded, and voluateer nurses are working to care for the officers and men who fell before the rain of bandit bullets. The troop train which brought this surviving force to the border, left Chihuahua City, at 10:30 Monday morhing, proceeding to a point near Terrazas station were a burned bridge ~forced them to transfer to another train Wednesday. The officers of the Carranza com- mand, which for some reason was sent here, and foreign refugees who came on ai carlier train gave accm.mtsvnf the four days and nights of fighting which preceded the evacuation of the capital city, which are practically the same and which 'pieced together give a fairly connected account of the siege of Chihuahua City. Burn Bodies in Streets. According to these officers and refu- gees, tlw dead had been piled in the streets and oil poured over them, and the early dawn was illuminated by these human torches. Between the cemetery and Santa Rosa hill the dead covered the streets, many having died days before. Along the streets near the railroad station, and sur- rounding the station one refugee said he saw many cavalry horses with car- bines and sabres attached to the sad- dles, the Carranza cavalrymen having abandoned them in order to leave the city on the troop train. Alohg Zarco avenue, according to the refugees, the hting had been fiercest, and many civilians had been killed there and An other parts of the city by shell fire and rifle galla. The houses lining this street/ were pitted with the bullet marks of the battle, a Syrian refugee said, and many shell holes were to be seen in the houses in the heart of the city. i De Facto War at First, Al of the refugees agreed that Car- ranza's troops were winning during - the first four days of the fighting, but . cither because of a shortage of ammu- nition or lack of morale, they aban- doned the city carly on the fifth morning of the battle, sceking safety in flight in all directions. The taking I of Santa Rosa hill, which has always - been known as the “Key to Chihua- hua," was said by one foreign refugee | to have started the retirement of the |« Carranza forces, which, they say, re- sembled a rout before the last train | left. The cavalry, artillery and infan- try poured down the streets leading to the station, which is north of the city proper, they said, and climbed aboard the train in a wild scramble to get away. One civilian refugee claimed Gen- eral Gonzales Cuellar was responsi- ble for the taking of Santa Rosa hill, where he was in command, as he al- lowed the infantry lines to be weak- ened. When the artillery was turned on the city, this refugee says, the moral effect was almost immediately noticeable and the Carranza soldiers, who had been eager for battle Sunda: night, dropped their rifles and flu{ One refugee claimed to have seen officers leave their men fighting to fice for safety. Sees Villa in City. One Mexican civilian refugee de- clared today he had seen Francisco Villa in the city Monday morning be- fore the train left. He said Villa was walking without the aid of crutches, as if to inspire his men with his for- " titude. His mustache was shaved off [l and he looked much thinner than of old. i To obtain medicine for his wound, | Villa is said by this refugee to have broken into two drug stores in the city after he had penctrated the busi- | . ness section. Thinking this action | meant the beginning of looting, Villa | bandits broke into stores and private f bomes, the refugee said. Villa, to stop i this loolinf, is said to have shot two of his followers and succeeded . stopping the pillaging. | orge Brittingham, an American, i was seen at the station in Chihuahua § City, one foreign refugee said, but he did not get away on the last train, All | of the refugees agree that there had i been no killmg of foreigners up to the time thefi' left, although there were ‘rumors that several Chinese had been Killed. Villa followers are said to have captured five field pieces on Santa Rosa hill, shouting “Viva Villa” and singing as they charged. Tinned Lobster Nearly in k. Fatal to William Hunt . Tinned lobster nearli_ caused the T death\of William Hunt, Fremont farm laborer, yesterday afternoon. He ate the stuff in a South Tenth street . restaurant, and a few minufes later v,~ was found writhing in terrihls uo%_on the sidewalk near Twelfth and Pierce, p He was taken to St. Joseph's hos- _ pital, where for a while his condition - was_considered critical. He finally ;;suned consciousness and is now on road to recovery, Prefers Death to Service Upon Border Joplin, Mo., Dec. 1.—After de- claring to friends that he pre- ferred death to further service on the border, Earl F, Raymond, mess sergeant of Company G, second Missouri infantry, committed sui- cide today by drinking poison. He was granted a month’s furlough Oct. 26, when stationed at Laredo, Tex., and sent several telegrams to his regiment commander, seek- ing an extension of his furlough. He is said to have received no re- ply. Raymond enlisted in Joplin when the troops were called out last June. NEWSBOYS BANQUET IS GALA AFFAIR Sound Teeth and Unpampered Stomachs Make Short Work of Turkey Gobbler. BUT ALL ARE GENTLEMEN The banquet hall of the Rome hote! echoed and reverberated with the thunderous cheers of 330 newsboys Thursday. They were there to cat their annual Thanksgiving dinner, They had their appetites and their voices with them, and they used both to splendid advantage, Don’t get the idea that this was a boisterous crowd. Not a bit of it, “Mogy” Bernstein, formerly emperor of the newsboys and now a prosperous business man, was master of cere- monies, He it was who led the long line from Sixteenth street to the door of the banquet hall. He it was who stood at the door as they passed jn and cautioned them to “be little gen- tlemen.” His vojce brought instant silence, actual, abSolute silence, in a room where 350 newsboys were! Think of it! Newsboy Miller. When they were all seated, Mogy's voice rang out: “Boys, boys, Rome Miller, who owns this hote!, 'was once a‘newsboy.‘and it is largely through him that this dinner is given, Three cheers for Rome Miller.” And they were given in a manner thaf made the chandeliers tremble, “When I was a newsboy I never thought that I would get to own .a big hotel, boys,” said Rome. “You boys have jobs now. But some day you won't be newsboys, and you'il have situations, positions. Do you know what I mean?” (Cries of “yes,” “sure.”) something that is to be your life work try to be the biggest men in that business. T thank you.” Mr. Miller retired with his best aft- er-dinner smile and bow while the boys cheered. Best of 'Em All “Boys!"” from Mogy brought instant silence again. “Boys” said Mogy, “I have been traveling around the coun- try a little and I find that the Omaha newsboys are the best in the whole country. (Cheers.) Nincty-seven per cent of all our boys here’go ‘straight.’ In'some other cities 50 per cent olg!hc newsboys become crooks. I want you to live up to your fine reputations and always be good boys. I'll say for the benefit of the visitors that we have no newsboys in Omaha who shoot craps or gamble and all our boys un- der 16 go either to day or night school.” (Great applause.) Mogy then read off the names of the men and firms that r{rovidcd the dinner: Auto Clearin, ouse, Toil- eteer company, G. W. Wattles, Frank {)ohmon, Petor Loch, John C. Lynch, cte Romig, Burgess-Nash company, W. J. Hynes, Albert Krug, Mogy Bernstein, Caryl Strauser and C, F. Bender. . Three hearty ¢heers made the win- ) [dows rattle. “Boys!" rang Mogy's voice again. “Boys, on Christmas night a dinner will be served here for the Omaha newsboys by George Brandeis.” A cheer that must have cracked the walls greeted this announcement. Tony Costanzo and Sam Ziegman, two “kings of the newsboys,” assist- ed in handling the boys. King Mike Barto wasn't able to be there, but sent Crown Prince Frank Odoroso in his stead. Police Auto Hits Taxi; Three Bruised The police emergency car, driven by George Armstrong and occupied by Detectives Jo¢ Heil and Edward Brinkman, last night collided with a taxicab driven by H. Penchanskym; 1426 North Twenty-sixth street, and occupied by Eugene Thomas (col- ored), Thirteenth and Douglas, Thomas and the two detectives were hadl{ bruised and both cars consid- y erably damaged. The car was headed for 2616 Dodge street in answer to a call. Later the policg patrol answered the call there and Lloyd Buckner, who lives up- stairs, was arrested. He was taken into custody on the complaint of the 12-year-old daughter of Mrs. E. A. Johnson (negress). Attempted as- sault is charged, Restaurant Man Kills Wofld-@gfiustomer Death wound up a holiday celebra- tion for Aaron McDonald, negro, of Council Bluffs, last night, in “The Cathead” restaurant, 1011 Capitol avenue. George Gates, restaurant keeper killed him, McDonald entered the restaurant and demanded food. Gates, as is cus- tomary in that restaurant, asked him if he had money. In reply McDonald pulled out a knife, witnesses said, and started for Gates, who seized a re- volver and shot him through the heart. Half a dozen witnesses said Gates fired in self-defense. —— Convicted Slaver Given Long Term in Penitentiary New YorlyAec. h—David Parish, ,“eonvicted a week ago on a charge of selling young women into “white slavery,” was sentenced\in the court of general sessions today\to not less than nine and a half nor Ynore than nimeteen and a half year} in state prison and to pay a fine & $1,000. ’ THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2 ALLIES WILL LAND - TROOPS AT ATHEN Greece Definitely Rejects De- HAPPENINGS IN THE MAGIC CITY Improvement Clubs of South Side Planning Big Drive to Get Few Things. CIVIC BODY IN THE LEAD A big “drive” on the city council and the street railway and other pub- lic service corporations is now in planning by different improvement clubs of the city. The Civic associa- tion is taking the lead and will soon begin a concentrated campaign for improvements, The boulevard system as planned by the city engineer from Riverview to Springlake and Mandan parks will be the first on the “drive’ schedule. The city council already has the prop- osition in mind, and it 1s most likely that an appropriation for the purpose will be passed before spring. Thir- teenth street, south, to Fort Crook, 1s a government highway, and con- gress has already voted a large sum for the paving of this road. The prin- cipal complaint of property owners in this district is that there is no street car service.

The city council it is requested, must grant a franchise, which up to the present time has been refused. Freight Track Wanted. A branch freight track from the Missouri Pacific railroad yards to the base of Twenty-fifth street in the al- ley at N street is another obpective The Civic association also will urge the building ofi two new Burlington depots, one at Thirty-ninth and L streets, and the other at the base of Missouri avenue. This arrangement will aid visitors to central portions of the city. West Side boosters want a street car line jsouth on Thirtieth street, from Q to the county line. The street car company is-about to report fa- vorably on the matter, but as in the case of the Southeast Improvement club the city council stands in the way of a franchise. The combined mem- bers of the East Side, Southeast Im- provement clubs, the West Side Boosters’ club and the Civic associa- tion will bopst these moves besides others and expect to accomplish con- siderable before spring. / Magle City Bowling.

By reason of the toxins, or poisons, bred in the intestines, these poisonous bacteria are sent all thru the blood channels and' the victim feels tired, sleepy and headachy, or the brain doesn’t work as usual. The best treatment for this is to drink hot water before break- fast—plenty of water all day and pro- cure a supply of Dr, Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets, made of Mayapple, leaves of aloes, etc, with no calomel, entirely vegetable, which can be obtained at drug stores for 25 cents. Equally important is it to cleanse kidneys ‘and ‘bladder, and drinking plentifully of pure water will cleanse them to a certain extent. Then ob- tain at a drug store a little Anuric, which was first discovered™by Dr, Pierce of Surgical Institute in Buf- falo. Anuric should be taken before meals. It is many times more potent than lithia in throwing off the poison- ous accumulations of uric acid. Dr, Weir Mitchell once said: “What we call diseases are only symptoms of conditions. Allow the man's vitality to be reduced to a certain point, and he is ripe for any of these weak- nesses, or certain conditions which we call disease.” Through failure of kidneys to act, through congestion, inflammation, any person’s condition is ripe for disease to fasten its hold upon the system. Anuric has been tested for the past few years for kidney, bladder, uric acid troubles, rheumatism, gout, and such ailments as follow, and so many cases, both acute and stubborn, have yielded to this wonderful remedy that I do not hesitate to recommend it.— Advertisement. - o TOYLAND Now Open at The Central A splendid display in Instructive and practical Toys for Children of all ages.

J., Dec. 1.— While its engineer lay dead beside the tracks near Black Tom Island, a milk train on the Lehigh Valley railroad, early today ran. thirty miles beyond that point before the fireman, Allen Miller, discovered Shaffer was missing. Miller’s attention first was at- tracted, he said, when the train passed an important crossing with- out heeding a signal warning. Seeing that Shaffer was not at his post, Miller brought the train to a halt. Shaffer apparently had climbed out on the running board of his engine and had fallen off, sustain- ing fatal injuries. turned from the Black Hills.
