FIVE AMERICANS SLAIN ON MEXICAN SOIL le innimiaK ? /? Hi? tt Bodies of Three Found by Mormon Scout Across The Border. Harhila, N. M?Thr?^ j'faod!<*?',' later identified as those of A^ew Petersen!^'Hugh Accord and Burton Jensen, were found late today by Lem Spillsbury, the Pers'ninjg scout, one mile westwof internatlonuil monument s . No. 58, situated three miled .vest of the Corner ranch on the Mexcaiv side of the border. Acting under instructions from Col. F. C. Sickle, commanding the Columbus camp, Lieut. Co''. J. C. "Waterman in charge of Hachita, ordered all available troops from here into the Corner ranch section. The troops left for their new posts tonight. The bodies of the three Americans were found about 50 fert apart, according to Spillsfcury. Fpch had been shot many times in the head. Hugh Accord's head was mutilaled with a machine, accoiding to Spi'lsi bury. All the bodies were stripped of clothing, hats and shoes. Spills! bury found the ra devs' trail early today and came upon the abandonc 1 bodies late this afternoon. Ho was ccnvniced that the three men h;vl been taken i it a Mexico from American soil and then killed. A government agent reported to Washington that the Mexicans under lYudencio Miranda were eating dinner at a ranch hi u e on the American side when lVt( rson, Jer.seri and Accord rode up unarmed. The Americans were made prisoners. His report also confirmed previ us reports of the Corner ranch raid. HAVE SENSE OF DUTY. New York, Feb. 21.?Forgetting that their finger prints are bound to hi tray them, many deserters who have adopted fictitious names, are attempting to re-enter Uncle Sam's service, since the breaking of diplomatic relations with Germany-* , Recruiting offices have been f!oe;V ed with this class of applicants, who trust to luck or indifference on the part of the military authorities to cover up their misdemeanor, according to Captain Frank E. Evans of the United States Marine Corps in this city. It is believed that the present patriotic wave has awakened many of these deserters to a sense of duty, but a comparison of their tell-tale finger prints with the originals, kept on file in 'Washington, proves a bar to their further service. YES! LIFT A CORN OFF WITHOUT PAIN! Cincinnati authority tells how to dry up a corn or callus so it lifts off with fingers. You coin-pestered men and women need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes that nearly killed you before, says this Cincinnati authority, he cause a few drops of freezone applied directly on a tender, aching corn or callus, stops soreness at once and soon the corn or hardened callus loosens so it can be lifted out, root and all, without pain. A small bottle of freezone cost very little at :my drug store, but will positively take off every hard or soft corn or callus. This should be tried, as it is inexpensive ami is said not to irritate the surrounding skin. If your druggist hasn't any freezone tell him to get a small bottle for you from his wholesale drug house. If is fine stuff and acts like a charm every time.?adv. o FREKI) FROM TICK. Washington, 1).
