STOREKEEPER IN
CHISm KILLED
Marshal Brenneman Asks for Money
To Spend In Apprehend
ing Criminals.
United States Marshal Brenneman
received this morning from Deputy
Marshal Frank Hoffman, located at
Chisana, the news that Louis Schon
bom, a storekeeper at Bonanza, a
small camp 14 miles from Chisana,
had been shot and killed by robbers.
The report stated that Schonborn
had been dead 24 hours when found
and that the bullet from a 30-30 rifle
had gone through his heart, entering
from the left side of the breast.
Marshal Brenneman immediately
wired to the Department of Justice
for permission to send Deputy Hoff
man in persuit of a number of men
who had suddenly left the camp and
were now somewhere in the hills.
The present laws do not allow for
the expenditure of money except up
on authority from the department.
The marshal will make every ef
fort to apprehend the murderers and
has already communicated with the
Canadian authorities at Dawson in
the event that the men escape in
to Canada, as the boundary line !s
near the scene of the murder and
the men are likely to cross over in
to the Yukon Territory.

WAR EXPORTS
Many Committees Request Foreign
Relations Committee To Urge
Embargo.
I
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.—Many del
egations have appeared before the
House Committee on Foreign Affairs
to urge that the committee recom
mend an embargo upon the exporta

tries.
Many peace advocates insist that
'supplies should not be sent from the
United States to the warring nations.
Committees of German-American so
cieties are also active as the Ger
mans cannot secure supplies here
while the French, British and Rus
sians are placing orders for millions
of dollars worth of war munitions,
Including thousands of stands of
small arms besides heavy siege guns
sent to Russia.

WITH GEN. VILLA

To Settle Border Troubles—
May Succeed.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.—Gen. Hugh
L. Scott, chief of staff of the United
States army, and Gen. Villa, com
mander of the rebel Mexican troops,
held a long conference on the bridge
across the Rio Grande river at the
boundary line. The two officers hope
to arrange for the withdrawal of the
fighting Mexican troops from near the
border, as many Americans have been
hit as a result of bullets crossing the
line into Texas and Arizona.
Gen. Hill, the Carranza commander
at Naco, has already agreed to the
request and will withdraw his forces
from near the border, provided the
Villa troops do likewise. Gen. May
torena, who commands the Villa
troops, has not agreed to the condi
tions, but it is hoped through Gen.
Villa to force him to do so.
It Is hoped that Gens. Scott and
Villa will be able to settle all border
troubles at the present conference.
