ban rocolvod but $13,000 of the $107,
000 which his contract called for, and
of which nearly all Is duo by reason
that tho paving is pracjically com
pleted. To lo $100,000 worth of work
on a payment of $13,000 has naturally
oxhaustml Contractor's Stack's re

Mayor Evans -Via boon attempting
to got sotno of tho property pwnora
to pay up on their paving cost in
order to holp out the contractor, but
bo far lias boon unable to secure suf
ficient to satisfy tho company's claim
for froight charges.
It in unfortunate that ihe Kearney
suit wa3 J!lod just before tho negotia
tion for tho salo of tho bonds wan
complete!, otherwise money for tho
bonds would havo boon secured, and
tho contractor paid as fast as his es
timates of work completed woro ap
proved by City Engineer McNamara.
To avoid any possible contingency
in tho future, it will bo well for tho

Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Douglas ro.urnod
Sunday night from a three wcoka' visit
with Mr. and Mra. Alex Strothors nnd
other friends in Douglas, Ariz. In ad
dition to Mr. and Mrs. Strutlicrs, they
mot a numbor of other formor North
Plotte people among whom wero Alex
Adaintcn, master mechanic of tho
CoTper Queen mining company, and
his family, Will Adnmson, mayor of
Douglas, and family, Jesao No: on.
who has retired from business, MIba
Lizzie Adamson, who makes hor home
with Mr. Norton ruid his daughters,
Poto Smith, n former machinist in tho
local shops, and his son Fred, who Is
nor an engineer. Also J. E. Edwards
and iife, who wero there on a visit.
Both the Adamson boys and Joss Nor
ton have ttinie big money in Douglas.
Whilo In Douglas Mr. and Mrs.
Douglas saw much of soldier life in
oairtp, for 18,000 troops arj there on
carnped. Trenches run all along the
border between Atizonla and Mexico,
and Douglas Is within n stono's ihrow
of the boundTy line. Among the equlp-
page of the camp aro several liundroil
auto trucks which are used in trans
porting soldiers and supplies, ami u
muah larger number of inotortiycles
that nre used for scouting. Many of
thefte have side biwkotn attached and
are used by the offloorB, 'the orderlios
doing the driving, Others aro mounted
with rapid flro machine guns-, iliej op

while his comrade runs tho motorcycle
Tho Moxicans acros tho' border are
in .very destitute circumstances, the
country has boon devastated by the
soldiers of Villa and Caranza, and
young 'children without a stitch of
clothing camo In to Douglas to beg
nlcklcs and dlmos. Tho Mexican sqld
lers cannot be distinguished frrorn
others, as they have no uniform, and
their clothing are simply rags. In that
section of Mexico tho two warring
actions -succeeded, in jdlling 1,700
of Onch other; some of these dead wore
saturated with oil and liurned, others
wero piled In heap3 and covered with
an Inch or two oarth, while still others
wore left where they fell to furnish
'food for crows, which are very plonT
ful in that country. Mr. Douglas says
that tho general report is that when
d Mexican soldier is rib wounded a3
to become a Twrrdcn to the command
to -which he belongs, ho is shot, thus
relieving him of suffering which must
come through utter lack of medical
care nnd hospl'tnl treatment.
