"CUT OUT WINE,"
LIVE TO BE 111
This Is the Sage Advice of
Patrick Healey, Who Has
Reached That Age
Gay jay rides, merrily popping
corks, alluring cabaret delights—all
will cease to trouble purity workers,
and the ever present fear of the ap
proaching grim reaper will be kicked
into the background, if the people are
wise. This from the lips of Patrick
Ifealey of Hayward, aged 111 years:
"Cut out the wine, women and song,
and you'll live to be as old as I am."
The aged philosopher has no rela
tives, .but a host of friends. He still
looks to be several years under the 100
mark, with bent back, seamed face
and the appearance of a patriarch.
Patrick states that he saw light first
in old Ireland in 1802, was a young
man when Napoleon was humiliated,
and remembers the times well.
Healey has worked many years as a
laborer and worked his way to Cali
fornia eighteen years ago. He Iβ now
in the county infirmary, owing , to the
weight of yeare. but passes along some
nifty advice to the wise ones who will
never take It.

WINS DOG RACE
Johnson Second, Mrs. Darling's
Team Third, Time 75 Hours

% ■
(Special IMspurrh to Th* Cain
NOME, Alaska, April 13.—Fay Dele
zene, driving the dog: team owned by
himself and Russell Bowen, won the
412 mile all Alaska sweepstake dog
team race over the snow trail from
Nome to Candle and return in 75 hours
and 1.8 minutes. John Johnson's Si
berian wolves, which eet the record of
74 hours 14 minutes and 20 seconds in
1910, were second, and the dogs owned
by Mrs. C, F. Darling of Berkeley, Cal.,
and A. A. "Scotty" Allen, third.
Johnson arrived at the finish two
bourn and 22 minutes behind Delezene
and Allan came in three hours and 32
minute's after the winner.
The race, which was one of the most
exciting ever run in the north, began
Thursday morning at D o'clock and
i ended when Delezene crossed the line
i
at 12;18 o'clock this afternoon. Dele
zene, who l.ad trailed Johnson all the
way until the last few hmira, was
wildly welcomed when he drove down
the trail behind his dogs and came
into Nome with all his racers on their
feet.
AI-I- \OMF, OIT AT EXI)
Two thousand persons, virtually the
entire winter population of Nome, had
assembled to see the finish and when
the Delezene doar ß came into sight the
crowd went wild.
All of TWezene's does were In excel
lent condition and showed little effect
of the long drive over the snow. D*le
zenp, who had husbanded his own
strength as well as that of his dogs,
during the first half of the race, was
also In good condition at the finish,,
although the last 104 miles of the
course were made without a stop for
rest.
Johnson, on the other hand, was worn
out when he crossed the line and
claimed second money. He had rested
but little during the three days and
nights of driving and was visibly dis
tressed. His dogs were not In good
condition either. Two of them were
carried on the sled and the other nine
teen were tired and worn. Johnson
drove the last 140 miles Into Nome
without slepping.
AI.I.AX'S DOGS FIMSH WVLL
Allan, who won last year's race, came
in with his dogs in good condition.
Allan was the favorite in the betting
but ran third most of the way and was
left behind when ho lost two hours
recovering a dog which became lost in
a snowstorm yesterday.
He did not drive hard after he left
Boston last night and made the last
100 miles at an easy pace. He carried
two dogs on his sled at the finish.
Tommy Illayok, a native driver, who
was the fourth contestant, did not fln
lsh, having fallen thirty miles behind
during yesterday's driving.
The purse of $5,000 was divided 60
per cent to the winner, 25 per cent to
second and 16 per cent to third place.

Reaching Line
N'ACO, Ariz., April 13.—General
Ojeda, commanding the remnants of
flis federal garriaon of 300 troopers
in Naco, Sonora, surrendered to the
United States troops- on border patrol
here this morning at 11 o'clock, after
having withstood a siege of state
troops which lasted for five days, and
in which more than half of his com
mand wag killed,
The surrender was hastened by the
attack upon the federal garrison by
thp hand of Taqui Indians tinder Gen
eral Obre«jn, commanding the state
tnjop*. T\ht>, .at daybreak burss in upon
the little garrison and fought vici
ously.
FORTS STiAI'GHTER PEN*
The dead on both sides hae been es
timated at 200, and the fortifications
in *s:aco, Sonora, are veritable slaugh
ter pens.
General Ojeda. true to his promise,
refused to surrender to the state
forces, and while the fighting was at
its height attempted to march across
the border with his band of faithful
federals. The Sre from thj enemy
was demoralizing and Ojeda and hln
men scattered, running to the railway
tracks which separate the two border
towns.
Xot even then did the firing from
rebels eeas» and General Ojeda shouted
to the American soldiers watching the
fighting from a distance.
SAVED BY YANKEE CAPTAIN
Captain IT, A. Slevart, Company A.
Ninth United Stater cavalry, ran alone
to his assistance. The American officer
prasped the Moxir-an general by the
arm. Together they ran In a hail of
lead to where an automobile was wait
ing.
Captain Figueroa of the federal gar
rison, witli 15 men, remained behind to
cover General Ojeda's flight. One by
one he and his fellows died in the bar
racks, surrounded by a horde of yell
ins, slaughtering , Yaquis.
"When the Indians burst into windows
and doore and crawled through shell
made apertures in the building there
were no living: federals to greet them.
General Ohregon entered the bar
racks from which the handful of fed
eral soldiers had wrought so much
havoc with his overwhelming force and
picked up the eword which had fallen
frdm Captain Figueroa's hand. Such
was the only formality of surrender to
the state forces.
DEAD PILED IX STREETS
General Ojeda. before leaving the So
nora town, eplked his cannon and
burned all supplies. Little was left for
the victorious rebels.
Sixty-five wounded from both eldes
were hurried to this town and placed
In the army hospital. The dead re
mained piled In the streets and hang
ing from windows of buildings as they
fell.
Forty-flve wounded Indians picked up
in the streets of the Mexican town told
what the Yaqui's had accomplished.
Prevented from participating In the
night attack because of their super
stitions of death In darkness, the In
dians at daybreak wildly hurled them
selves against the federal fortifications,
forcing the fighting and winning the
battle which ended the siege.
"There Iβ honor in this defeat," said
General Ojeda after he safely had
reached the American side. "I have
only one- regret, and that is for Cap
tain Figu-eroa, who refused to surren
der with me."
When told of the captain's death,
Ojeda wept bitterly.
"Oh, had T but thrown myself In
flames and died as he did," cried the
white haired soldier.
"Now we are ready to drive the
Huerta soldiers out of Guaymas and
the state will be ours," exulted General
Obregon after the victory.
"My men deserve the credit," boasted
the Yaqui chief just after the fighting
ceased. , v
Washington Relieved
WASHINGTON, April 13.—Officials
here expressed relief tonight when they
learned that the fighting at Naco wa*
over. For fnf- days American lives
had been in-constant danger from bul
lets falling across the international
border and a prolonged siege of the
town would have created a situation
most difficult to deal with. Brigadier
General Bliss, commanding the United
States border force, had warned the
combatants that further firing into
American territory would not be toler
ated, but the Mexican commanders had
a hard task trying to keep their vol
leys directed away from the border.
