SOLDIERS OF FOR-
TUNE WANT BATTLE
Mexicali, Mexico, April 10.—
Colonel Miguel Mayot and ap
proximately 000 federal fcroopa
are still encamped live miles
south of here and are as inactive
us if there were no rebels any-
where in Lower California. In
the trenches here there are 100
rebels, mostly Americano, con
teinptuous of the prowess of the
prowess of the vaunted "Fight-
ing Eighth Battalion" of the na
tional army and eager to try
conclusions with their foes.
Mayot's army was augmented
by 125 men today. After having
Hanked and practically surround
«>d Williams' force of 85 men
Saturday, they failed to pur-
sue the retreating force, and
today Mayot gave the surprising
information that he did not fol*
low his advantage beuause he
had no orders to attack Mexicaii
and would not do so until he r3-
ceived specific instructions.
"We were ordered over here
to protect the American dam on
the Colorado river," he said, "and
we will go there unless other-
wise instructed."
Captain Pryce, who was elect-
ed commander of the American
contingent of the liberal army,
said today that if the federals do
not attack, he would sally forth
and assault them. Mayot's fail
ore to attack Mexicali when Wi)
lianas force was fleeing Saturday
has resulted in the complete re
covery of the garrison from its
demoralization. Recruits are
slipping over the line and despite
the depleted ranks, the rebels
are confident of defeating the
federals.
One factor favors the national
force.' That is the lack of har-
mony in the insurrecto garrison.
Francisco Salipas is commander
in chief in name only. Pryce,
an English veteran of the Boer
war, is the real chief, and upon
his battalion of American adven-
turers depends the success of
the entire revolutionary move-
ment in Lower California.
The reported advance of the
federals today was only a recon-
noissance.

At the Baptist church Sunday
morning Rev. Albert Maddox
took his text from John 14,15-
16 and preached on God's prom-
ises. He emphasized the impor-
tance of God's promises to the
human race and the difference
between the promises of God
and those of men. The even
ing sermon was from the text,
"Therefore, come ye ou t from
from among them and be ye sep-
arate, and touch not the evil
thing." Bro. Maddox warned
Christians against such amuse-
ments as cards, forty-two, and
the dance.
The meetings at the Christian
church will continue indefinitely.
Good crowds are in attendance
at each service and much inter
est is manifest. Elder E. A.
Bedichek, the pastor, is doing

The Rain.
Monday afternoon blacWclouds
begun to gather in all parts of
the heavens and for a lime as-
sumed a threatening aspect.
People either sought the safety
of the storm cellars or cam pud
near them.
The showers which followed
were local in scope and were ac-
companied by considerable hail.
In Hollis the rain was not heavy,
but in the vicinity of Martin and
southeast of that place a regular
flood fell. In fact, it is said'that
in some localities it was the heav-
iest rain in years. At Martin
the residence of Postmaster W.

foundation.
The greatest amount of hail
seems to have fallen north of
Hollis. J. J. Savage was here

TWO KINDS OF GUARANTEE
f
CJlt is not so very long ago that when you passed your money across a
counter in the average store the deal was closed—a sale was a sale.
We have always done our merchandising on a different plan,
A Plan in which the Customers Satisfaction was
the Principal Thing
IJFor example—every pair of Hosiery we sell, no matter how high or how
low the price, is guaranteed to give entire satisfaction, or it will be replaced
with a new one.
IJFor example—we guarantee the price of everything we sell to be as low
or lower than the same article or pattern can be bought anywhere else.
If in a day, a week or a month later you find the Same thing lower else-
where, make a claim upon us, and it will be allowed at once.
SUCH GUARANTEES AS THESE
Make buying at this store very safe indeed. They illustrate as well as the
written words can do, the attitude which this store has towards its patrons.
(JCome in and investigate our claims and we will show you the savings
that await you at this store.

He's a Quitter.
T. J. Skinker has been trying
to create the impression that he
is always deal game. He has
also been most earnest in his
claims of being matrimonially
inclined. But he was forced to
take the back track Monday.
In comnany with a young lady
he called at the County J udge's
office and stated that they
wished to le married. 'His
"oner" immediatelv made out the
proper papers and offered to per-
form the proper ceremony, even
relinquishing the time honored
privilege of hissing the bride.
But there was nothing doing.
In fact when put to the test Mr.
Skinker showed that he was all
bluff and that he is purely a
"quitter".
Hotel For Sale.
I have a good hotel building in
Hollis which I will sell at a bar-
gain. A good opportunity for
some one to make a speck in the
hotel business.
