TO FACE TRIAL
TO ASSASSINATE
LONDON, Nov. 9.—A wireless
Press dispatch from Bucharest says
an official decree has been issued
there committing for trial on a charge
of conspiracy two men named Babosh
and Thot, who are charged with hav
ing attempted last year to assassinate
Premier .Brantiano, of Rumania; M.
Costinsco, Rumanian finance minister,
and the late M. Filipesco, former war
minister.
The Wireless Press says the de
cree stated that the conspiracy was
organized by Austro-Hungarian aut
thorities and that the assassins re
ceived instructions from the chief of
police of Budapest and two captains
serving on the Austrian general stalf.
A Kronstdt lawyer named Offen
berger, the dispatch continues, con
ducted the two men to Rumania and
was to have given 84,000 crowns to
them. Before the conspiracy was dis
covered, it is said, the assassins gain
ed entrance into Rumania by means
of false passports, and valises contain
ing explosives were sent in by Hun
garian non-commissioned men.
VILLA’S BANDITS
ARE AGAIN CUTTING
SOLDIERS’ EARS OFF
SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 16.—Most
horrible tales of Villa’s cruelty have
reached authorities here when a Mex
ican civilian refugee reached here
from Jiminez, Chihuahua. Captured
Carranza soldiers had been the vic
tims, the bandit cutting their ears off
and returning them back to their
command as a warning to other Car
ranza soldiers.
He said he saw 16 Carranza soldiers
at Jiminez \rith their ears severed
from their heads. He said the sight
was revolting as the ears had been
cut off with military sabres and, in
many instances, the skin of the face
had been mutilated and the wounds
had become infected, and the soldiers
were suffering great agony.
Scores Mutilated.
The refugee said he had been told
- ■
by one of the mutilated soldiers that
a total of 83 Carranza soldiers had
had their ears cut off by Villa bandits
at Santa Rosalia.
The soldiers, he said, had reached
Jiminez from Santa Rosalia on their
way to Torreon and they reported
that Villa bandits had looted Santa
Rosalia and had impressed many citi
zens of that town.
THE THANKSGIVING EVE. BALL
Everything is in readiness for the
big Thanksgiving Eve ball to be given
under the auspices of the local Order
of Moose at Robarts’ Hall next Wed
nesday evening.
The committees that have the af
fair in charge have been working
night and day to perfect all the plans,
and they are now rounding out the
last little details that will go to make
the whole affair the supreme social
event of the season.
One of the events of the evening
that has hitherto been given little pub
licity, is the banquet that will be given
at 11:50 p. m. This is not to be con
fused with a lunch with just soffee
and sandwiches, but is going to be a
real on the square banquet, with Tur
key and all the trimmings, after-din
ner stories and speaking and with a
good live toastmaster in charge. So
don’t fail to be on the job.
Now just a word about the price of
admission so that no confusion will re
sult. The price of the tickets are two
dollars each, for the gentlemen. No
charge for ladies. Each gentleman
holding one of these ticket will be en
titled to take one lady to the banquet;
if accompanied by more than one lady
additional tickets will have to be se
cured.
Tickets are on sale at Loussac’s, Ro
barts and every Moose in the city can
supply you with one or more.
The dance will be given in Robarts
Hall and the banquet in the Moose
Hall, both places are beihg appropri
ately decorated for the occasion. 70
