MiKIIH'tni'irrt THE BEE; OMAHA, FRIDAY, JULY 7, 1916. BODIES OF BOYD AND ADAIR ATEL PASO Corpses of Two Officers and Seven Troopers Killed at Carrizal Brought Home. EIGHT BUSIED IN DITCH 1 Paso, C'cx., july 6. The bodies of Cipttin Eharle T. Boyd, Lieuten ant Henry Adair and feven troopers of the Tenth cavalry, killed at Carri zal, were brought to El Paso today at 8:30 a. m. Only the bodies of the two officer and Private Dewitt Rucker have been identified. Eight of the Americans were ex humed from a single grave, the under-" takers who. brought back the bodies said. '- ' ' The dead had been gathered from the field of battle and eas into a ditch. This was then filled up. Captain Boyd, Lieutenant Adair and six troopers, stripped of their uni forms, were mixed indiscriminately in the dirt The body of the ninth trooper was located two miles distant from the others. He had been wounded and apparently had dragged himself away to die in the gravelly waste beyond the town. Arrival Nearly Unnoticed. ' 'Scenes in sharp contrast to those of a week ago, when the Carrizal pris oners were brought from Chihuahua City and turned over to General George Bell, jr., marked the return of the American dead. In Juarez the event was scarcely noticed, while in El Paso only a few hundred persons, quiet and subdued, replaced the cheer ing throng that greeted the twenty three troopers of the Tenth. Indifference in Juarez to the event was explainable in the fact that the special train bearing the bodies did ' not arrive there from Villa Ahumada until late last night Before the town was well awake an engine detached the car containing the dead and pushed it out to the center of the In ternational bridge. The American au thorities then hitched on an engine and completed the transfer to the El Paso side.-; Escort la Not Ready. General Bell had not expected the bodies to be delivered so early in the mornina and the Eitrhth cavalry. which had been detailed from Fort Bliss to act as an escort, was not on hand. An impromptu guard was formed, however, from soldiers of the Seventh infant. ' encamped near the bridge. Part of these marched beside the car while the remainder stood at attention as it rolled off the bridge upon American soiL Word was immediately sent to Fort Bliss and the Eighth cavalry was started cityward. Examination of the bodies showed that Captain Boyd was shot through the right eye and that Lieutenant Adair's death resulted from a wound in the breast By the time the Eighth had retched the death car at 10:30 a. m. thou sands had gathered along the streets, Full Military Honors. ; General Bell and his staff were on hand. The cavalry drew up at atten- ' tion with sabres drawn, while the . twenty-three negro troopers surren dered by the de facto government last week from Chihuahua and the one re leased from Juarez Monday took sta tion at the car's entrance, directly be bind General Bell and the other offi- . cere. . ' "' ' -'. Mine ambulances had been provided . and as the caskets were taken out of ' the car they were covered with flags and placed in these. The mounted band of the cavalry played "Nearer My God to Thee" during this part of the ceremony. n ' The body of Captain Boyd was first ; taken from the car. Next followed that of Lieutenant Adair and than those of the troopers. When the ambulances had been loaded a squadron of the cavalry led the march to the undertaking estab lishments where it had been decided to hold the bodies for the present The band played the Chopin funeral march, squads of dismounted men fell in beside the ambulances, behind each of which a riderless horse was led, .the officers and men followed and the cortege moved off between lanes of people, who bared their heads as it passed. n i .-.,- Funeral Service Read. ' . At the chapel of the undertaking establishment a brief service was read by Chaplain W. W. Brander, of the Eighth cavalry. It was announced that the Identified bodies would be turned over to the relatives and that those who remained unidentified probably would be sent to Arlington cemetery, Washington, for burial - Two of the horses that followed the ambulances were survivors of Car rizal. -,'(.- : - Only one of the troopers' bodies had been identified early today, that . of Dewitt Rucker. K troop, Tenth cav. airy. None of the others bore iden tification tin. Armv officers, how ever, had full description , of the fourteen missing men and from these it was expected that the identity of the remaining bodies which were in Juarez soon would be determined.

Wanted Some Want Ads in ex. change for lots of answers. Phone f be gee. - Peters was figured at $75, and Cap tain Foye and John .Redick also were expensive buys, especially in view of the fact that three hours later their chances were nix. The golf exhibited in the various matches of the day was not' nearly as remarkable as the various upsets of the dope. Bill Chambers and his lumbago cultivated a 76 round in beat ing Guy Beckett, and Bill could have done a rushing business auctioning lumbago germs from his own stock if he had been so inclined. Paul Scott also shot a 76 in eliminating. Jack Hughes. Ralph Peters and John Red ick did not display anything remark able during the first nine holes of their match. Peters couldn't putt and Redick couldn't drive. Both steadied on the inside and Peters wound up by cutting par one stroke for his last five holes. Redick's ability to keep his drives out of the rough cost him his title. Whirlwind Finish. In the Sprague-Foye match, possi bly the biggest upset of the day, Foye had Sprague three down at the turn, when Sprague cut loose with a 3 on ten, eleven and twelve, respectively, evening the match. He took the six teenth, sinking a neat putt, and the seventeenth was halved. On the eight eenth Foye had a chance to even the match, but his three-foot putt rimmed the cup and Sprague halved the hole, winning the match. The out-of-town delegation fared badly yesterday, all of the visitors be ing eliminated in early rounds of the championship flight Several still sur vive in the minor events, r, L. Catlin of Fairbury was the winner of the prize offered to the visitor from a club outside of the Omaha district or Lincoln playing the lowest qualifying core, nil oiai Deing , Hastings took the team cup offered under similar conditions. Annual Meeting Today. The annual meeting of the associa tion will be held today and officers will be elected at that time. If Lincoln wants the tournament next year, it probably will get it, otherwise the event would stay in Omaha. Action on awarding the tournament may not be taken at today's meeting. Karl Bock, who was stated to have filed the protest with the sports com mittee against Joe William's score in the qualifying round, feels that he has been placed in a false light by public ity regarding the matter. Mr. .dock, it appears, was one of three witnesses who were asked by the committee to tell what thev knew of the alleged infraction of rules. He says that he had no animus in the affair, and does not wish to be under stood as in any way detracting from Williams' performance. following are the scores yesterday: CHAMPIONSHIP FLIOHT.

Villistaa pursuing their victory over Carranzis- tas at Corral ranch on July 4 have attacked Jimenez, according to re ports reaching mining men here today. Military authorities in Juarez were unable to affirm or deny the reports, as all telegraph lines to the city had been cut." Reports trom Chihuahua City fol lowing the engagement at Corral said that the broken Carranzlsta command had retired to Jimenez, which is 120 miles south of Ch" uahua City, and had been reinforced there bjK2,000 n.en under General Domingo Arrieta.

Bonds for Mexican Mix. "We propose to finance any possi ble trouble with Mexico or any other nation, as this nation and all other nations have always financed such emergencies, by the issuance of bonds."

The decision held that the provision of the prohibition law limiting the amount of liquor in a person's posses sion to two quarts of whisky and twelve quarts i of beer, applied only to cases where the liquor was kept ' for the purpose Of sale. A dissenting opinion held that the decision virtu ally annulled the prohibition law and would made it impossible to secure convictions of persons having liquor with illegal intent. - Hundred Seventy- Four Infants Die In NiwYotk City New York, July 6.
