LIGHTNING'S PSASt WAS ALMOST FATAL One Man Seriously Injured Sut Will Recover From the Stroke SEVERAL OTHER MEW SEVERELY SHOCKED Frightful Occurrence in the Lumber Camps of Conway Lumber Company. Willie Simmons, an employee of the- Conway Lumber Company at its timber works in the country, came near to losing his life from a stroke of lightning during one of the heavy thunder storms of last week. He, with several others of the working force, were sheltering from the rain under the large steam sidcior. All at once a bolt of lightning struck a tree near the spot and the ewtire number present were seriously shocked. In some way the force of the stroke struck Mr. Simmon.1 worse than the others. He was unconscious for some time after the trmihlf* U i? fiwn w?ic hu/llt; ?? ?*! burned and he received serious injuries in other parts. At last accounts the injured man was doing as well as could be expected and it was said that he would r,oon recover from his injuries, o SPECIAL NOTICE.

El Paso Texas, Juno 29.?The 23 negro troopers of the Tenth cavalry v ho at Carrizal, Villa Ahumada, Chihuahua City and Juarez have been central figures in one of the most striking chapters of the Mexican situation are safely out of Mexico. Survivors of an engagement with a superior force, twice stoned by mobs, more than once gripped with tlie fear of execution for their part in the uaiTiy.ui light and, lastly, objects of a peremptory demand by the president of the United States they were brought to the border from Chihuahua City on a special train today and turned over to Gen. Hell, commander of the El Paso base. With them came Lorn H. Spillshury, the Mormon scout, who guided C'apt. Boyd and his detachments over the trail to Carrizal. Spillsbury spent the night at the home of his brother here. The troopers were at Fort Bliss awaiting orders from Gen. Funsion at San Antonio. It was thought probable at military headquarters that the 2d troopers will be kept at Fort Bliss hospital until all danger of infection from disease has been removed and then transferred to their various commands. The horses, arms and accourtrements of the troopers ure expected to arrive here from Chihuahua City tomorrow. They were left behind yesterday, so that the release of the men could b( expedited. . . Two stories differing widely, were related by men, one told by Spiilsbury, charging Capt. Boyd with obstinacy in advancing in the face of a certain Mexican attack. The other, narrated by men of the Tenth, blames the Mexicans for the fight. Pl'iviltp W ill! il ?V?

Gibson's assertion was corroborated by Privates Archie Jones i and Luther Alexander. Other of th< ti copers claimed they had been robbed of money and valuables afte. their capture. Thousands gathered in Juarez and El Paso to witness the arrival ol Spillsbury and the negro troopers. Ir Juarez a big crowd viewed the disembarkation of the prisoners from their, train, but gave little outward evidence of enmity. As they marched from the station to the disinfecting plant and from that point to the commandacia, and finally to the international bridge there were occasional jeers. Once the crowd show < ed good humor. That was when the troopers descended from the train. , Their motley garb provoked laughter. When the formalities of the trans- , fer had been ended and the Ameri-f cans marched over the international] bridge to El Paso, they were gfeeted | Dy the cheers from the thousands gathered on the American side. Morey to See Them. An incident of the day was the ar- ^ rival here of Capt. Lewis S. Morey 1 for treatment at the Fort Bliss hos- 1 pital of the wound he received at Car rizal. He arrived an hour before 1 the prisoners were released. To- s night he arranged to visit the soldiers at Fort Bliss.

AN ALL FEA TURE PROGRAM AT THE CASINO THEATRE The manager of the Casino Theatre has just arranged with the Pathe Exchange to furniah him with four days show, which will include two of the famous "Cold Rooster" plays and the great series picture "Who's Guilty." The latter is a series of stories, each complete in itself, written by Mrs. Willson Woodrow, the celebrated novelist who is now writing short stories for the "Cosmopolitan." This series will be published weekly in The Field, and will be shown the following Monday at the Casino. These, with the "Paramount Features" and the famous "Billie Burke" serial picture, "Gloria's Romance," will make the Casino program equal to .hat of the shows in any city. The "Billie Burke" series is now being run in the large cities, where an admission of twenty cents is charged. It is the highest priced serial picture in the United States, and it is useless to say any thing about "Billie Burke", for she is known as on of the greatest actresses in America. Conway is fortunate in being the first town of its size in the South to book this great serial. This pleasing story will appear in the Herald, and will start at the Casino next Thursday, the 13th instant. The Casino program will be as follows: Monday, "Who's Guilty," with two other reels; Tuesday, the famuos "Paramount Feature"; Wednesday, a "Gold Rooster" play; Thursday, the great "Billie Burke" picture, a "Pathe News" and two other reels; Friday, the fa<<?> 1 T-1 1 ~ - - ? uiuus rarumouni reature"; Saturday, a "tiold Rooster" play. All of these shows will be at five and ten cents, execept Thursday, which will be ten and fifteen cents. i IMPORTANT TO EVERY READER : IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO US | It is important to us and also important to every reader of this paper :hat attention be given to our recent notice published on the front page of this paper to the effect that prompt payment of subscriptions must be made or ihose who will not pay will be stricken from the list. Frequently in the past we have made this appeal and our subscribers responded to such an extent that we never found it necessary to discontinue ^ any names from the list, with a few exceptions that did not amount to much. This time what we say carries more importance than it did before, for :he reason that it costs so much more to buy the white paper, and all other ^ naterials cost so much more. In short it costs us so much more to print , inrt mail you the paper now than it did in past years, that we have deternined that it is impossible for us to send this paper to anyone who will not >e willing to keep his subscription up-to-date. We cannot afford to lose f 7VCU a ?nuui per centage or tnose to whom we mail the paper. j We have thought best not to take this action without plenty of notice. iVe have not definitely decided on the date which wo will select as being the i lay on which every subscriber not paid up will be taken from the list. We j vill, however, decide on this date a little later, and we will give plenty of lotice. Neither will this change be applied to our many long standing subscribers whose names have been on this list for ten and fifteen years, and some wen longer, and who may have neglected at times to bring in the money to he very day, but who have nevertheless paid us from time to time for all s hat they have received. Those of the above kind will remain on the list 1 mtfl they tell us to take their names off. cWatch for the notice which will appear before long in this paper, and in T he mean time send us your back dues or renewal subscription. Some * .hange is absolutely necessary owing to thb unusual conditions which we * iave mentioned. You oaa help us out of the difficulty by sending in tne T neftoyiww. ^ j ? m kitltL :u."
