MAY FORM LEAGUE
OF HIGH SCHOOLS
Coach Fatton of Sooth High Leading-
Spirit in Campaign to Or
ganize a Bate Ball Loop.
SIX TEAMS READY TO ENTER
Coach James Patton of South Klde High
school has initiated the opening round of
a campaign to form an inlerscholastlc
bsae ball league In Greater Omaha. The
number of such teams that participate!
In bsse hall games last yenr gave rlae
at the close of the 191." seannn to the
suggeatlnn of such an organisation and
six teams of the tri-clttee have already
signified their Intention of Joining. An
effort Is being tnado .to got two more to
come into the combine.
Lest year South Kids high led the field
with victories over Centrsl and Council
Bluffs High school ss well as Blair and
a few other nearby villages. Base ball
spirit In all three high schools here has
been good in years past, the o:ily draw
back being that the season usually was
at Its best after the regular school ses
sion had been concluded. Despits this
there hss always been a fslr crowd at
the games.
Having all facilities neceaaary, such
i a number of convenient and modern
base ball parks and plenty of equipment,
there Is every reason thst a league
should he formed. The School for the
Deaf has generally produced a formid
able team In this department ef athletics
and is anxious to enter Into a compact.
The University of Omaha, although not
yet officially Informed. Is expected to
enter. This scbool has always boosted
a base ball team and will have one this
y"ear;l' ' . ." ''.".'.
'It :is possibe!" that two out of town
teams In ths near vicinity of Omaha such
as Blair or Fremont could be (nduced to
enter if tha proper backing were In evi
dence. This would add a bit more In
teresting competition to the frays. Coach
Patton and Central High school athletlo
authorities., stand ready to accept any
proposals made concerning tha formation
of a league.
Central, South Side and Commercial
High schools of Omaha. Council Bluffs
High, tha School for the Deaf and Omaha
university are the six schools ready to
entsr tha proposed league.

Neal Parsons Dies
of Blood Poison at
Sedro Woolley, Wash
Neal Parsons, only son of Grant Par
sons, president of the Nebraska Builder's
association, and prominent business man
of this city, died very suddenly Saturday
evening, from blood poisoning, st Sedro
Woolley. Wssh.
Neal Parsons wss ust 23 years old. He
had been a student at the Omaha Hlnh
school and University of Omaha. In the
fall of 1911 ha left tha university to go
Into business with his father. Late In
1914, while at Davenport, la., engsged in
the construction of a large building, he
fell seven stories through an elevator
shaft, on account the scaffolding on the
top story giving away. Another man, who
fell with him, was killed instantly. Al
though Neal was buried under several
wagon loads of timber and brick and
had suffered a fractured skull and
severe bodily Injuries, he miraculously
eacaped, notwithstanding the fact that
he was unconscious for nearly a week.
He had almost completely recovered,
except for his left arm, on which he had
sustained a fracture and wound which
would not heal. Although several opera
tions were performed upon his arm, the
wound remained open. His fall so badly
had acared him that he decided to give
up contracting work, and, with his young
friend, Clyde C. Randall, hs moved to
Sedro Woolley. Wash., last Juns, where
they secured soma land and ens-aged In
raising vegetables.
His parents received a letter from htm
during the early part of last week. It wss
very cheerful and apparently he seemed
to enjoy good health, and was looking
forward to raising a flna crop.
Early Saturday evening a wire came,
stating Neal was In serious condition on
account of blood poisoning and summon
ing his parents to come at once.
. Mr a. Parson hurriedly made prepara
tions and left at midnight, but before
he reached North Platte, word had been
received - at tha ' homo that Neal had
passed away.' It cams as a most sever
shock to all, as it was believed that lie
had nearly recovered front the Injuries
ha sustained by his fall a year and a
half ago. '
lie Is survived by Mr. and Mrs. Par
sons, Mrs. Alloa Ted row, Mrs. Marion li
de Winter and Misses Marjory and
Dorothy Parsons.
Ills body Is being returned to Omaha,
aocompanled by his friend Randall, and
It Is expected that burial will take place
Wednesday or Thursdsy.

FORCES, COL.ONIA DUBLAN, Mex.,
March 27. -(Wlreleag to Columbug,

Pershing commanding the American
troops pursuing Villa today compli
mented the stamina and the spirit of
the troops comprising the expedition
ary fore. Oeneral Pershing made the
statement In his headquarters tent

stinging dust storms, bitter sleet
and bnrning winds, all of which the
United States troops In the field
have faced In rapid succession.
Some Loan- Marches.
No similar body of any army would
have arrived In better conditions under
the circumstances, he said. Tne service
encountered by the command Included
some exceedingly long marches by the
cavalry and wide stretches of desert
covered by the infantry and artillery.
The march of concentration at the first
bsse is not believed here to have been
equaled by any command of this six? In
recent years. And through it all the
morale of the troops has been excellent.
The spirit of the command is shown by
the eagerness which the men have
manifested in pushing forward througn
tha heat of bare plateaus, the fury of
Mexican dust storms and the bitter old
of mountainous altitudes. 1
Part of Day's Work.
The men seemed to feel that H was all

was .asked to specify In detail some of the
record set by American troops in the
present expedition such as the twenty,
seven-mil trek made In a single day
through tha desert by Infantry companies
under heavy equipment and the cavalry
rides, tha hardships of which are said to
have torn at the very souls of the troop
ers. But he shook his head, smiled a bit
and replied:
"No. I'd rather not. Can't you see that
might appear somewhat as though ws
were attempting to throw bouquets at
ourselves."

Robber Who Held Up
Short Line Train Is
Hunted with Hounds
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, March 27.
Offlcers of several counties of Utah and
of the Oregon Short Line railroad's pri
vate detective force have been busy all
day trying to overtake the man who held
up the railroad company's train No. L
en route to Butte, Mont., near Roy,
Utah, about thirty miles north of Salt
Lake, early today. Bloodhounds from the
state prison were taken to the point
where te roan held up - the train and
picked up what Is believed to be his trail
early this afternoon.
Tha footprints lead In the direction of
Salt Lake City, and are In the open fields.
The clrcumstsncee Indicate, officers say,
that the man worked entirely alone. It
la tboug.it he boarded the train as a
passenger when it left Salt Lake City at
11:46 o'clock last night, although he was
not observed until he climbed over the
tender and entered the cab of the loco
motive Just as the train left the station
at Rov.
Threatening them with his plwtol, he
made Engineer Orson A. Chaffee and
Fireman H. B. Thomas uncouple the lo
comotive and, leaving the fireman be
hind, the robber made the engineer pull
th mall car up the track a short dis
tance, stop, and accompany him to the
car. Announcing himself as the engineer,
the robber asked the mail clerk to open
the car. Mail Clerk Matthew F. Rautio
assuming that an accident had taken
place, opened his door and was Immedi
ately covered by the robber's pistol. The
holdup then forced Chaffee into the car
ahead of him and lined Chaffee 'and Ar
thur Root. ) the - -assistant..; matt vlerk.
against the wall of the car and made
Rautio show him th registered - mall.
He took thirty-one pieces of registered
mall, overlooking some other pieces.. lie
then made Chaffee return to his cab and,
threatening to shoot If any of the men
moved fcr tn minutes, ran away across
th fields. I ! i made no effort to molest
the psssengers.

Men for His Army
-ASAS GRA.tDGS, Mexico, March 17.-
(Vla Wireless to Columbus. N. M.) Fran
cisco Villa, the outlswed Mexican bandit
who is fleeing before American cavalry
men somewhere In the district between
Namlqulpa and the foothills of the Sierra
Tarahumares, is Increasing his band by
force, according to army reports tods y.
The bandit chieftain lied thirty-five
young men and boys in El Valle, sixty-
five miles south of here, snd forced them
to accompany his column. Half of ths
constitutionalist garrison at- Namlqulpa.
about sixty miles south of here, has dis
appeared and it is suspected that some
of them at least also have Joined Villa.
Utmost haste is being made In the flight
toward tha mountains, which Villa is nesr-
lng rapidly, neither men nor horses being
spared. It Is known that he Is prac
tically without supplies and ammunition
and It la reported that he is attempting
to reach the neighborhood where he ha
ammunition cacnea in inrce piacee. t
Peons In the district through which h4 J
has passed recently say that his men ar.
ravenously hungry and are practically In
a state of starvation. Dead and dying
horses discarded In the flight are found J V
almost dally by American troops, eight "Nf'
being discovered today.
The haste which the bandit Is making
In his flight would Indicate - that the
American forces are close on his heels,,
but Oeneral J. J. Pershing, expeditionary
commander, who returned today from m
two days' inspection trip of troops in th
field, says that reports that Villa Is sur
rounded are premature.
