KEBELS GAIS VICTORY.
Sonora's Troops Defeat Federals at'
>"aeozari, Mexico, and Capture
the city.
Douglas, Ariz./ March 10.?State
troops and recruits of Sonora, rally-1
ing to the call of the State government
to oust all of Huerta's federal
soldiers from the border country, yesterday
scored their first victory in'
wresting Naoozari, an important min-1
ing town below this point, from the'
federal garrison. The defeated federals
not killed or captured arrived
early today on a special train at
Aomo T>TM*oto rvnnnsito, TVmerla*; their'
i KVKVt, ,
commander mortally wounded and 24
others hurt.
From various points along the Arizzona
border come reports or other \
movements of State troops against1
border and inland towns held by
small federal garrisons. Nine hundred
constitutionalists began moving today |
against Nogales, Sonora, opposite uie
Arizona town of the same name and
it is reported that a struggle is in
progress at El Elgre, an American
mining town northeast of Nacozari.
Reliable reports give the constitutionalist
wounded at Nacozari as only i
iuiie. |
Most of the fighting was at long,
range. The rebels having no artillery j
kept under cover to avoid the fire
of two machine" guns used by the federal
garrison. The State troops, how- j
ever, during Saturday night crept
close to the town and early Sunday
morning began a hot fire.

At none of the ports on the SonoraArizona
border are. there more than
3OO federal troops. All the Huerta
soldiers in northern Sonora do not exceed
1,000 men, it was aid today, on
sound authority, while the State gov- j
^ernment president within a few cays;
"has raised an army of nearly 10,000 i
men, according to reports from va-;
rious State leaders.
The Huerta soldiers left their position
at El Tigre during the niglit only
to be trapped by the State troops. An
hour's fight ensued. The State troops
captured 80 rifles and one inching
gun abandoned by the federals, who
also lost four killed and seven wound
ed before retreating in disorder toward
Agua Prieta. The constitutionalists,
under Comisario CannoD. reI
turned to El Tigre, being reinforced

pointers, regardless 01 how lunch
longer their commissions might run,
would not be disturbed to make place
for democrats except in case of innr
npelpft of dlltV.
This announcement. made direct by j
Postmaster General Burleson, came
as a distinct shock to the democratic
congressmen who have been laboring
under the impression that there
would at least be a gradual calling
in of commissions held by Roosevelt
and Taft appointees and that the
vacancies so created would be at once '
filled by democrats.
In plain words, this means, taking
the South as an example, that at
Richmond Postmaster Allen will serve
out his term, at Savannah Postmaster
Baker, who has almost four years to
run. will remain: that at Columbia <
G. H. Huggins, the incumbent, will
not be disturbed; that at Jacksonville
D. T. Gerow wiR remain in office
until his term runs out, and that
elsewhere throughout the country
there will be< no summary ejectments
in favor of the democrats.
"while* thp dpmocratic congressmen!
who received this information today
were loath to criticise Mr. Burleson,
the matter was seriously discussed.
It was pointed out in case these men
?the present appointees?remain in
and that the country should not again
elect a Democratic president or the
senate get back' into the hands of
the reoublicans, so far as patronage.
is concerned, the democrats would
get very little from the postoffice department.
To put it mildly, those who saw Mr.
Burleson, in the interest of various
constituents were amazed at the
promulgation of such an order. They
failed to understand why, for the sake
of formulating a policy for the post-j
office department, democrats all over
the country should be kept waiting '
for the postoffices in their territory .
to become vacant, for as long as four
years in some instances.

Death is Life.
Familiarize your mind with the in-1
evitable event of death. Think of it1
as life! Gloomy though the portal
seeems, death is the gate of life to j
a good and pious man. Think of it,
therefore, not as death, but as glory?:
p-nine- to heaven and to your father. |
o~ o ?
Regard sorrow to see him sinking into 1
the grave. "I am going home." If
you think of it as death, then let it
be as the death of sin, the death of
pain, the death of fear, the death of
care, th-e death of death. Regard its
pangs ana struggle as me wuic
that goes before victory; its troubles
as the swell of the sea on heaven's
happy shore; and your gloomy passage
as the cypress shaded avenue that
shall conduct your steps to heaven. |
It is life through Christ and life in |
Christ; life most blissful, and life
