Felix Diaz, In command of the rebel forces fortified and entrenched in and around the arsenal, had held his ground against the Federals. He had done more than this. He had subjected the city to a more terrific bombardment thajd that of Tuesday. He had enlarged his zone of action and had sent forces against the National Palace. Diaz is using larger guns than he did on T uesday. Hut Madero was optimistic.

Defying ail comers to inter fere with him, he smashed windows and bombarded houses with rocks. Reinforced by a dozen citizens, the police undertook to arrest him. Sev eral shots were fired in the melee which followed, but nobody was In jured. After he had been clubbed, Henderson was carried, struggling like a wildcat, to the guard house. An hour or two thereafter Perry Henderson, his father, and other rel atives, armed themselves and vowed they were going to rescue Tom. The citizens took steps to repel the attack and the Henderson clan were finally dissuaded from their purpose. Hen derson was carried to Spartanburg Friday for safe keeping. He will be returned to Landrum for trial when the situation becomes less tense,. Fnslack Lime Fanse Huniing. A recently built five-room cottage, belonging to Prof. H. C.
