BARBER'S NARROW ESCAPE
FROM PECULIAR ACCIDENT
10 S10P VILLA
LATTER IS FORCING RANCHERS
TO GIVE UP HORSES
Is Also Smuggling Arms and Other
Munitions Across the Border from
the United States
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, July 28 .Secretary
Bryan this morning appealed to Gen.
eral Carranza to stop Villa who is
reported to be making wholesale de
mands on Chihuahua ranchers for
horses. It is said he has demanded
as many as a hundred horses from
one rancher. Consular advices to
the State department said that Villa
is smuggling arms and war muni
tions across the border from the
United States. These advices con
firmed many private complaints.
The situation between the consti
tutionalists and the Carbajal govern
ment over the transfer of power in
Mexico is progressing satisfactorily,
said Secretary Bryan. The Saltillo
conference to arrange for the trans
fer of the government will probably
meet within ten days.
An unusual and peculiar incident
occurred yesterday when a cartridge
lying on the street was run over by
a passing wagon, and exploded, the
ball being discharged with great
force and failing only by a very
narrow margin to cause a serious in
jury.
The wagon was driven by Mr. A
H. Lane, of the Standard Oil Co.
The cartridge, which some one had
carelessly thrown in the street, ex
ploded wheii the wheel struck it.
The ball richocheted upwards, passed
through the door of the A. C. L
barber shop and struck the bottow
of a chair, glancing thence and
striking a sign in the rear of the
shop. It rebounded and struck A.
C. Leggett, one of the barbers, but
its force was spent, and no material
injury was done. Had it struck a
human mark before the other objects
in its course, the result would have
been serious.

RAILROAD NOTES
Although buying of freight cars
has been on more liberal scale dur-
the past month, orders for passenger
coaches and motivo power show a
falling off. The big railroads of
the country evidently have been
awaiting the freight rate decision
before making their equipment commitments.
It Is not believed that the engi
neers and firemen of western roads
now threatening to strike will agree
to further federal arbitration. Most
of the men are said not to favor such

men will gain nothing from such ar
bitration. Ninety-eight roads are
concerned in the matter.
