10 THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1916. DEAD ARE BURNED IN ' CHIHUAHUA STREETS , City Illuminated by "Human Torches" Following Its Cap ture by Villa's Forces. WOUNDED FILL HOSPITALS ' . Juarez, Mexico, Dec. I. Ancient Juarez was in the back wash of bat tle today. Tonig'it the campfires of another remnant army burn on the plains to the south. Grim cannon are parked in the customs house yard with garlands of "jerked beef hang ing from'thcir muzzles. In box cars women camp follow- ers of the Carranza soldiers cooked their meagre meals tonight over char coal braziers, while barefooted chil dren many born on battle fields- shivered from the cold as they hovered in the lee of the big guns. . Wounded Fill Hospitals. Since early morning this old bor der town has been the scene of mili tary actitivities. Soon after 7 today thj first troop train brought the rag ced survivors of the de facto force, which had fought at Chihuahua City against Villa, and had escaped to the north. Accompanying this train was a sanitary section consisting of three second class coaches ana one wmte cross" hospital car. In these cars came more than 100 wounded sol diers of the Carranza command, who were rescued from the heaps of dying and brought to the border by their comrades. The hospitals are filled with wounded, and volunteer nurses are working to care for the officers and men who fell before the rain of bandit bullets. , The troop train which brought this surviving force to the border, left Chihuahua City, at 10:30 Monday morning, proceeding to a point near Terrazas station were a burned bridge -forced them to transfer to another train Wednesday. The officers of the Carranza com mand, which for some reason was sent here, and foreign refugees who came on ai. earlier train gavo accounts of the four days and nights of fighting which preceded the evacuation of the capital city, which are practically the same and which 'pieced together give a fairly connected account of the siege of Chihuahua City. Burn Bodies In Streets. ' According to these officers and refu gees, tie dead had been piled in the streets and oil poured over them, and the early dawn was illuminated by these human torches. Between the cemetery and Santa Rosa hill the dead covered the streets, many having died days before. Along the streets pear the railroad station, and sur rounding the station one refugee said he saw many cavalry horses with car bines and sabres attached to the sad dles, the Carranza cavalrymen having abandoned them in order to leave the city on the troop train. Along Zarco avenue, according to the refugees, the fighting had been fiercest, and many civilians had been killed there and in other parts of the city by shell fire and rifle balls. The houses lining this street' were pitted with the bullet marks of the battle, a Syrian refugee said, and many shell holes were to be seen in the houses in the heart of the city. De Facto War at First. A.I of the refusees aerced that Car- ranza's troops were winning during the first four days of the fighting, but either because of a shortage of ammu nition or tack ot morale, they aban doned the city early on the fifth morning of the battle, seeking safety in flight in all directions. The taking of Santa Rosa hill, wnich has always been known as the "Key to Chihua hua," was said by one foreign refugee to have started the retirement of the Carranza torces. which, thev aav. re sembled a rout before the last train l.ft Tk. ,,,l. ...:n. i r Prefers Death to Service Upon Border Joplin, Mo., Dec. 1. After de claring to friends that he pre ferred death to further service on the border, Earl F. Raymond, mess sergeant of Company C, second Missouri infantry, committed sui cide today by drinking poison. He was granted a month's furlough Oct. 26, when stationed at Laredo, Tex., and sent several telegrams to his regiment commander, seek ing an extension of his furlough. He is said to have received no re ply. Raymond enlisted in Joplin when the troops were called out last June. HAPPENINGS IN THE MAGIC CITY Improvement Clubs of South Side Planning Big Drive to Get Few Things. CIVIC BODY IN THE LEAD left The cavalry, artillery and infant try poured down the streets leading to the station, which is north of the city proper, they said, and climbed aboard the train in a wild scramble to get away. One civilian refugee claimed Gen eral Gonzales Cuellar ble for the taking of Santa Rosa hill, where he was in command, as he al lowed the infantry lines to be weak ened. When the artillery was turned on the city, this refugee says, the moral effect was almost immediately noticeable and the Carranza soldiers, who had been eager for battle Sunday night, dropped their rifles and fled One refugee claimed to have seen officers leave their men fighting to ucc iur saicry. I Sees Villa in City. One Mexican civilian rpfii rll. dared today he had seen Francisco Villa in the city Monday morning be- iore me iram icit. ne said Villa was walking without the aid of crutches, as if to inspire his men with his nr. ' titude. His mustache was shaved off ana ne looitea much thinner than of old. 1 To obtain medicine for his wound, Villa is said by this refugee to have broken into two drug stores in the city after he had penetrated the busi ness section. Thinking this action meant the beginning of looting, Villa bandits broke into stores and private homes, the refugee said. Villa, to stop this looting, is said to have shot two of his followers and succeeded in topping the pillaging. George Brittingham, an American, was seen at the station in Chihuahua City, one foreign refuge said, but he did not get away on the last train. AH of the refugees agree that there had been no killing of foreigners up to the time they left, although there were rumors that several Chinese had been killed. Villa followers are said to have captured five field pieces on Santa Rosa hill, shouting "Viva Villa" and linging as they charged.

BUT ALL ARE GENTLEMEN The banquet hall of the Rome hotel echoed and reverberated with iha thunderous cheers of 350 newsbovs inursday. They were there to cat their annual Thanksgiving dinner, They had their appetites and their voices with them, and they used both to splendid advantage. n ' uu i gci me iaea mat tnis was a boisterous crowd. Not a bit of it. Mogy" Bernstein, formerly emperor ot the newsboys and now a prosperous business man, was master of ceremonies. He it was who led rh from Sixteenth street to the door of the banqoet hall. He it wan uihn stood at the door as thev naH in and cautioned them to "be little gen tlemen. His voice brought instant silence, actual, absolute silence, in a room where 350 newahrwa u.r.i Think of it I . Newsboy Miller. When they were all seated. Moirv'a voice rang out: "Boys, boys, Rome Miller, who owns this hotel, was nnrc a newsboy, and it is largely through him that this dinner is given. Three cheers for Rome Miller." And they were given in a manner that made the chandeliers tremble. When I 'was a newsboy I never thought that I would Oct tn riivn .a big hotel, boys," said Rome. "You boys have jobs now. But some day you won't be newsboys, and you'll have situations, positions. Do you know what I mean?" (Cries of "yes," "sure.") "And when you get into something that is to be your life work try to be the biggest men in that business. I thank you." Mr. Miller retired with his het aft. er-dinner smile and bow while the ooys entered. , , Best of 'Em All. "Boys I" from Moirv hrnuirhr inarant silence again. "Boys." said Mogy, "I have been traveling around the coun try a little and I find that the Omaha newsboys are the best in the whnlr country. ' (Cheers.) Ninety-seven per cent or all our boys here'go 'straight.' In'some other cities 50 oer cent fifth newsooys become crooks. I want you to live up to your fine reputations and always De good Doys. 1 11 say for the benefit of the visitors that we have no newsboys in Omaha who si craps or gamble and all our boys un der io go either to day or night school." (Great applause.) Mogy then read off the names of the men and nrms that provided the dinner: Auto Clearing House, Toil eteer company, G. W. Wattles, Frank Johnson, Peto- Loch, John C. Lynch, Pete Romig, Burgcss-Nash company, j. nynes, iinerr xirug, Mogy A big "drive" on the city council and the street railway and other pub he service corporations is now ir planning by different improvement clubs of the city. The Civic associa tion is taking the lead and will soon begin a concentrated campaign for Improvements. The boulevard system as planned by the city engineer from Riverview to bpringlake and Mandan park will ne me nrst on the "drive - schedule. The city council already has the prop osition in mind, and it Is most likely that an appropriation for the purpose will be passed before spring. Thir teenth street,, south, to Fort Crook, is a government highway, and con gress has already voted a large sum for the pavinsr of this road. The nrin. cipal complaint of property owners in this district is that there is no street car service.

The city councij it is requested, must grant a franchise, which up to the present time has been refused. Freight Track Wanted. A branch freight track from the Missouri Pacific railroad yards to the base of Twenty-fifth street in the al ley at N street is another obpective The Civic association also will urge the building of. two new Burlington depots, one at Thirty-ninth and L streets, and the other at the base of Missouri avenue. This arrangement will aid visitors to central portions of the city. West Side boosters want a street car line isoutn on ihirtieth street, from Q to the county line. The street car company is-about to report fa vorably on the matter, hiit aa in n. case of the Southeast Improvement club the city council stands in the way pf a franchise.

H. Smith, M. D.) ' The victims of auto-intoxication are many thousand every day. By reason of the toxins, or poisons, bred in the intestines, these poisonous bacteria are sent all thru the blood channels and the, victim feels tired, sleepy and headachy, or the brain doesn't work as usual. The best treatment for this is to drink hot water before- break fastplenty of water all day and pro cure a supply of Dr, Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, made of Mayapple, leaves of aloes, etc., with 410 calomel, entirely vegetable, which can be obtained at drug stores for 25 cents. Equally important is it to pleanse kidneys and bladder, and rlrlnkino- plentifully of pure water will cleanse them to a certain extent. Then ob tain at a drug store a little Anuric, which was first discovereTiy Dr. Pierce of Sureical Institute in Rnf. falo. Anuric should be taken before meals. It is many times more potent uian iitnia in mrowing ott tile poison ous accumulations of uric acid. Dr. Weir Mitchell once said": "What we call diseases are only symptoms of cunuiuons. Aiiow tne man s vitality to be reduced to a certain point, and he is ripe for any of these weak nesses, or certain conditions which we call disease." Through failure of ltirln eva tn art through congestion, inflammation, any person's condition is ripe for disease to fasten its hold upon the system. Anuric has been tested for the past few years for kidney, hladder. nrir acid troubles, rheumatism, gout, and such ailments as follow, and so many cases, both acute and stubborn, have yielded to this wonderful remedy that I do not hesitate to recommend it.
