broken faith the council would not
consult them In any future actions

good roads fund in the Merrick county
treasury will meet with a substantial
Increase in the very near future if the i

Judge Peterson has made orders ap
pointing Jotyn Patterson, Sr., ap
praiser for the Ormsby estate, J. C.
Martin for the Hord and Clayton es
tates, and E. E. Ross for the Hlgglns
estate The law provided that all in
heritances exceeding J10.OOO to an in
dividual are subject to a tax of 1 per
cent on all over that amount. It
makes It mandatory for the county
Judgo to appoint an appraiser to deter
mine the size of the estate and after
his return is made the tax imposed
draws 7 per cent interest until It Is
paid. The Hord estate is the largest
upon which this tax will be levied.
I The petition for letters of admlnlstra
I tlon filed by O. II. Hord, son of the
late T. B. Hord, states that the prop
erty left by the father was valued at
$500,000 above all incumbrances. Since
Mr. Hord left no will this estate Is
divided among his three legal heirs
his widow, son and daughter. At the
estimate of the administrator this es
tate will be subject to a tax of about
$5,000. Resides the four estates for
which appraisers have been appointed,
It Is expected that others which had
been overlooked will be brought under
the provisions of this law.

REBELS DEFEAT
MEXICANTROOPS
Assault cn Insurrectcs' Position
at Molata Unsuccessful.
BATTLE LASTS FIVE HOURS.
American Troops on Opposite Side of
River Frequently Under Fire.
Charge That Gunners Fired on
Women and Children.
Mulata, Mex., Feb. 11. Mexican
forces under General Luque have sus
tained another defeat in the attack on
lnsurrectos, whom they have been
fighting in this vicinity for the last
week. The federals assaulted the in
surrecto force intrenched about Mu
lata. They were repulsed after a bat
tle lasting five hours.
Frequently during the assault Amer
ican troops on the opposite side of the
Rio Grande were under fire. Shells
from field guns used by the federals
crossed the river, bursting danger
ously close to the men of troop H
of the Third United States cavalry,
which patroled the river bank. It Is
declared by witnesses that frequently
the federals, chagrined at the frult
lessness of their assault, deliberately
turned their guns at groups of women
and children, who had sought refuge
on the American side of the stream.
One shell from the federal's fire burst
near Captain Williams of the cavalry,
killing an lnsurrecto who was watch
ing the battle from the American side.
Federals Forced to Withdraw.
The federals withdrew after fierce
fighting. It Is expected that despite
their losses they will renew the attack
today. The lnsurrectos had been
warned that federal soldiers were
coming. They took post on a hill near
the town, In the adobe houses and be
hind the banks of an irrigation ditch.
The federals approached in battle line,
with the infantry next to the river,
cavalry on the right side and artillery
In the center.
After shelling the town at long
range, the soldiers advanced and the
insurreetos opened lire. The hottest
flKht took place along the ditch. Twice
tho federals captured the ditch, but
each time were driven out by the reb
els. In the last charge the lnsurrectos
were led by a Scot, F. S. McCombs,
and an American. Seven Mauser rifles
were captured in this charge.
The federals numbered 325, accord
In? to their own announcement. The
lnsurrectos had 200 men in Mulata.
The Mexican soldiers were command
ed by General Lurpie and Colonel Do
lantes, the lnsurrectos by Torribe Or
tega and Emlllo Salgado.
Several Killed and Wounded.
It Is Impossible to estimate the num
ber of killed. The bodies of eight sol- j
dlers have been stripped of their
weapons, but many more were carried
off the field. Only one lnsurrecto,
Emlllo Lopes, was killed.
Customs Inspector Tom Herrlnee
and Lee Grlgsby were fired upon by
Mexican soldiers and their pack horses
were rhot. During the fight Deputy
Marshal Eugene Warren disarmed sev
eral refugees. Captain Williams has
notified General Luque that there must
be no more firing across the river.
