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,

ARRIVE AT EL PASO
Twenty-three Troopers oi
Tenth and Mormon Scout
Reach American Soii.
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.

the field, the Mexicans went over it
and killed several wounded Americans.
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. Fifteen of them! *

command. 1

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 ?

Tiie corporal in charge of the post
reported that ho challenged the Mexicans,
that they continued to advance
without replying and that after they
were well over the line, they fired a
shot at him. He then ordered His

150 yards north of the line to prevent

When reserve companies of infantry
were rushed to the line, the Mexican
border guard opposite withdrew
into the Mexican town. About '20
shots were fired by the United States
troops.
A Mexican officer then road up to
the custom house and said his men

LARGE TOBACCO LEAF
Pink I^wis, one of the industrious
farmers of the Jordanville section,
picked and brought to the Herald office
on last Wednesday, what we
think was the largest tobacco leaf in
the county i*n that particular day.
It measured three feet in length and
was 19 inches wide, and he had a
plenty more just like it if not larger.
Mr. Lewis has a very fine crop of the
weed this year.

v MATERIAL COMING
The work of finishing the new
hot^l has been delayed for some time
waiting on a shipment of floor tile
from the tile factories in Ohio. The
orders were placed in good time not
to interfere with other work, but owing
to strikes on the railroads and
other causes beyond the reasonable
control of the parties, the shipments
are slow in arriving. They are expected
to come to hand, however,
within the near future, and then the
work will go forward again.

LOOSE CHARACTERS
GUILTY OF TRESPASS
Bad characters of the lower class,
ali white, according to reports have
been guilty of trespass upon private
property for some time past. The
:ottage of J. J. Pitman near the corporate
limits of the town has been
without a tenant since about April
1st, and was fastened up for protection
while waiting for another occupant.
Unknown to those having the
property in charge, these characters,
leing a mixture of both sexes, took
possession and have spent several
lights in the house as reported by
hose living near the property.
Steps have been taken to try to
iteak this up, and certain parties had
letter be careful how they violate the
aw and the rights of private ownerihip
of property, and the richt to
