A. King's Ransom. The expression "worth a king's ran som," though generally supposed to mean the ransoms paid for a king, more probably refers to that paid to a king. In enrly times, wben armies re ceived practically no regular pay and the soldier's reward was the booty tak en from tbe vanquished, each soldier hsd a rlpbt to tbe bodies as well as tbe goods otbe prisoners be captured. Tbe conqueror might slay bis prisoner, sell him to slavery or set him at liberty on payment of a ransom. But though it was tbe common practice in feudal times for tbe individual captor to re ceive tbe ransom for prisoners of low degree, those for princes or great no bles were always paid to tbe king; hence a king's ransom, Tns Wizard.

El Paso's restlessness over the Mex ican situation was Increased today following a night without street car traffic to Juares and without the ususl protection of several companies of regular Infantry which were order ed back to their quarters at Fort Bliss. Brownsville, Texas, June 17. Three Mexicans are reported to have toen killed In a clash with rolled States troops and a band of about' SO bandits 10 miles east of San Benito, Texas, last night. There were' no American casualties. Two campanlea of the 26th Infantry were rushed in automobiles from Harllngen to Oiml- to, 10 miles north of Brownsville, to cut off the retreating bandits who are reported early today heading for the Rio Grande. ' ' ' San Antonio, June 17. General Funaton todsy received a mctssge from Oeneral Bell at El Paso, listing that Oeneral Trevlno, commanding the Carranaa forces In northern Mex ico. Is understood to have wsrned 'Qenersl Pershing that any attempt to send additional troops Into Mexico or move the American forces now 'therewould be considered sufficient provocstion for an attack by Tre vino's troops. El Paso, June 17. Official knowl edge of any Carransa threat to at tack American troops wss denied by General Bell at Fort Bliss today. Ad vices from Columbus, however, were that a message from General Persh ing, relating to a communication from the Carranza general, Trevlno, had been relayed to General Funston at San Antonio. Columbus reported that the com munication might be construed as a threat of attack if the United States expedition In Mexico advanced. Precautions against Carranslsta at tacks on the 280-mlle Amerlcsn line stretching from Columbus to Nam! qulpa have long been in force. Oeneral Bell said today that he advised both Pershing and Funston of the report circulated here that Trevlno telegraphed an ultimatum to Pershing. Bell's Information came from mining men, he said, declining to make public- their names, ' .
