ESTABLISHED 1844 , " WOUNDED REBELS AT CHIHUAHUA News From Frout is Unfavora ble to Villa MET WITH RESISTANCE Expecting to Walk Into Torreon Invaders Were Met With Storm ol' Lead. Chihuahua, March 29.?Such news as reached here from the front today was unfavorable to rebels. Wounded rebel soldiers continued te arrive by train, bringing the number now here to 588. Several hundred other wounded were be ing1 provided for at Jiminiz, Parral and Santa Rosalia. This evidence of the sanguinary conflict at Torreon tended to make headquarters reticent about the progress of the battle. Officers admitted they have received dis patches from tho front, but declined to re k .veal the contents. The report originated from one of the hospitals that Gen. Francisco Villa had been wounded slightly and compelled to retire from tho front. The report was based merely on the word of a wounded soldier,'who, however, insisted he had seen Villa wounded. declared that the news was withheld. A German military observer who arriv ed today from the front said: "The feder al army lured us right into Gomez Palacio, a suburb to the north of TorreOn, be lore they opened lire, men iney let loose such a hail of rifle and machine gun shot as would have completely demoral ized any ordinary Mexican army. The men fell by the score. Gen .Vila had such a large army that he felt he could afford to sacrifice many men to get a foothold. Almost the whole Zara goza brigade, under Gen. Aguirre Bona vides, was wiped out, although I think Gen. Benavides escaped. "The shock and surprise to the rebel troops, who had expected to scare the fed erals and walk into Torreon with little fighting, resulted in a temporary with drawal. Three or four days of fighting up to tne uuie i xaiteu i/u uiiug auuut au,y results." It is believed here that Gen. Carranza will not come to Chihuahua until he is sat isfied Gen. Villa will remain In the south, as a meeting of the two revolutionary leaders is not looked on as opportune at this time. Gen. Villa's delay in taking Torreon, it is said, has revived belief that should the Huerta forces drive him north, something In the nature of a northern republic em bracing the States bordering on the United States will be established. The plan of separating the north from the south has Innir r?nntpmnlfllor1 hv snmfl nf the rebel leaders. Unless decisive results are achieved soon, financial affairs of the rebel territory will reach a crisis, according to men in author ity. Despite Gov. Chao's assurances to the state department that Louis Terrazas, Jr., would not be executed, it was learned defi nitely here that Terrazas was threatened with execution twice within the last eight days. He was saved frora death within 24 hours on one occasion oniy through the efforts of representatives of a foreign gov ernment, who pleaded all one night that the prisoner be given an extension of thre days. The three days' extension was granted and later through another influ ence the talk of exeoution was dropped temporarily.

New York, March 29.?Ten of the * 1 12 trial jurors who found the four gunmen guilty of the muder of the gambler, Herrr\an Rosenthal, have signed a petition\isking Gov. Glynn to stay the execution of death sen tence for next Monday until after the second trial of Charles Becker, the former police lieutenant, whose con viction was set aside by the State court of appeals. Counsel for the gunmen today an nounced that this petition and other documentary matter would be pre sented to the governor tomorrow. Of the two jurors who did not sign the petition, one was out of town ?^on hie eiornotiirai wos cnnofht nnrl | the other declined to make known J his attitude. In view of the new trial that has | been granted to Becker, the petition sets forth, "the interests of justice may require that the execution of judgment of death pronounced upon these defendants upon our verdict be stayed until there be final determina tion of the guilt or innocence of the said Charles Becker, or other disposi tion of the case." H. Lionel Krigel of eounsel for the gunmen, will present the petition, together with a statement making reference to the opinions of the court of appeals in the Becker case, and various petitions, among them one by the gunmen, "Dago Frank" Ciro fici, "Lefti Louie" Rosenburg, Harry Horwitz, "Gyp the Blood" and "Whitney Lowis" Jacob Seiden shiner. The four gunmen request, first, that the judgment of death be com muted to "such term or imprison ment as to the governor may seem just and proper," and second4 that the execution of judgment be stay ed and reprieves be granted "until after the final determination of the indictment" against Becker. Affidavits by various attorneys and other documents intended to show that the four are innocent, are added. It was announced that the wives of those of the gunmen who are married will seek an audience with the governor on Tuesday.

While last Saturday, according to the al manac makers, was the beginning of 6pring, yet the weather was mueh more like that of mid-winter. Thick ice formed In watering troughs and other exposed vessels. In the morning some sleet and snow fell; warming t fires were needed. Late that evening snow began to fail pret ty heavily, and next morning it was an inch or two in depth, but it was unusually dry, and by 11 a. m. it had all vanished, without leaving behind It the usual slush and mud. Mrs. E. W. Harper spent several days last week with her son-in-law, Mr. Theron Allen and family, in Anderson county. Miss *Irma Cooley was with friends for several days in Augusta, Ga., last week. Miss Carwile Smith, who has charge of a good school at Lamar, S. C., came up the latter part of last week and spent a day or two at the home of her father, Mr. E. L. Smith. Miss Lillie Belle Lemou, a friend of the first, came up with her and spent a day or two at the same pleasant home. Prof. J. B. Kay, of the High School here, and two of his assistants, Misses Kate FTutahison and Annie Bell, went over to Spartanburg last Wednesday week ago and attended the session of the South Car olina State Teachers Association. They claim to have had a pleasant and profita ble time. Mr. J. M. Huckabee "went to Atlanta Tuesday on a business trip. Mr. J. B.

FIGHTING GOES ONAI TORREON FOUNDRY Telegram Says 900 Have Been Killed and Wounded in Six Days With Federal Loss of 2,000 But 500 Wounded Are Now at Chilmahua. Jaurez, Mexico, March 29.?An of ficial message from the front tonight states that fighting still is going on ior ine possession 01 xorreoii juujuu ary. Another telegram admits a rebel loss in the last six days of 900 killed and wounded, and places the federal loss at 2,000. As there already are at Chihuahua 500 wounded, the re port of rebel losses is thought to have been minimized. Among the rebel wounded is Gen. Tomas Urbina. It is said that private soldiers ta ken prisoners are being taken into the rebel ranks, but their officers are executed, unless they take the oath of allegiance to th constitutionalist cause. All irregular troops in the federal garrison are executed on cap ture. It was believed here today that Gen. Villa's assault on Torreon last night was repulsed, or that some in cident has prevented the attack. The last word from the rebel general came at 11 o'clock last night, when a tele gram from him was quoted as saying th at the taking of the city was not a matter of hours but of minutes. There have been no newspaper dispatches dealing with this attack, and the similarity of the situation with that at Gomez Palacio is point ed out as significant. When Villa was successful there, he premitted the newspaper men to send their dispatches, but when he was repuls ed, as he was twice, press messages suddenly ceased. Fnnerai of W. E. Williams. Funeral services over the remains of Mr. W. E. Williams, who died as a result of Injuries received In a wreck n^ar Comer, Georgia, on the Seaboard Air Line Road, were conducted at his home here last Mon day. The body was carried to Columbia via the Seaboard and the C., N. & L. and was interred in Elmwood with Masonic honors. Mr. Williams was a native of New York State. He lived for a while at Hunting ton, West Vlrjrinia, and had his member ship with K. of P. Lodge No. 83 there, at the time of his death. Mr. Williams was a member of the Ma sonie bodies of this place and was a mem ber of Omar Temple, A. A. 0. N. M. 8. He was also a member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. His remains were met at the station Sunday evening by members of these orders, the Masons tak ing in hand the direction of funeral ar rangements. All of Mr. Williams's associ ates and co-workers speak well of him. He was about fiftv voars old and had been In the service of the Seaboard here for about fifteen years. He was a man of good habits; upright in all his dealings, and possessed the full est confidence of his employers as well as of his co-workers. This death adds another to the sad chap ter of accidents which have cast their shadows over Abbeville in the past few months. Almost every household has its burden of sorrow as a result of some re-' cent shocking death. TO MAKE BLIND SEE BY GBAFTOG EYES Operations Which May Open Wide Field to Surgeons Performed At Baltimore. Baltimore, March 23.?What is be lieved to be the first operation of its kind in this country was performed today at a local hospital when the cornea of a pig's eye was grafted on the sightless eye of a three months old boy. It was said that previous operations In which rabbit's eyes had been used were unsuccessful, but that eYnpriments with Die's eves had led scientists to believe that they were more adaptable. Two cases are said to be on record where the grafting of human corneas gave sight to to tally blind eyes. In today's operation the pig was chioroformed, the eye ball taken out and the cornea cut from it. An ex traordinary fine needle and fine silk were used in sewing the cornea in place. The eye will remain bandaged for about a week. Clears Complexion ?

One Engineer and One Fireman Killed, the Other Hurt. Two Engines and Twenty Cars Demolished The people of Abbeville city were shock ed Saturday morning when the news was flashed that two freight trains on the Seaboard had run together at Comer Ga., and of course the reports were rather con flicting, the vague rumors only causing the more intense excitement, as those in the wreck were all residents of Abbeville. Trains No's 74 and 89 had "meet" orders at Comer, Ga., but the engineer pulled on out, meeting the train on a curve, a short distance from the station. * Mr. W. E.

P-?- +!>/. Tik,a.n JL VI l/UC JUAMAOIA J The ladies of the "Abbeville Library" have begun their "spring house-cleaning" in order to make the "Beading-room" inviting to the public and the "Rest-room" more comfortable, before the Field Day exercises. They will appreciate highly any pieces of furniture which could be utilized or renovated for use, and which would add comfort to the "Rest-room." A lounge, which has lost its first fresh ness, perhaps been relegated to the garret, would conduce (possibly more than any thing else) to the real comfort of the tired and weary.

He leaves tho Eureka carrying with him the well wishes of the traveling public, as a host, par excellence. Mr. Jamison comes to the Eureka under peculiar favorable circumstances, for he is a hotel man of many year's experience, having been proprietor of several hotels in this State and Georgia, and quite re cently from the Hotel Geer, at Belton, where he came in contact with the travel ling public making this territory and ne is in nowise a stranger to them. It is to be hoped the reputation he made at Belton will be a means of bringing "the boys" to the Eureka to spend Sunday, as it did to the Hotel Geer, under his management On hphfilf of the neoole of AbbevUle, we extend to him, his excellent wife and charming daughter, a cordial welcome to our little city and hope their stuy in our midst may be both long, pleasant and highly profitable.
