CURRENT EVENTS OF THE WEEK Dungs of tbe World at Large Told in Brief. FEDERALS DEFEATED. Mexican Rebels In Superior Force In­ flict Great Damage. Casas Grandes, Chihuahua. Mexico — Federal forces attempting to hem in tbe rebels here and at Juarez suffered their first defeat Wednesday. Cour­ iers coming overland from Ojitas, 60 miles west o f here, said the rebels who left here last week met and de­ feated the federals under General Jose de la Luz Blanco. General Blanco is said to have only 600 men, while the rebels numbered 2000. The messengers said that Blanco’s forces were driven back to­ ward the Sonora state line to join General Sanjines, who is advancing with the main body o f federals. Particulars o f the battle are lack­ ing, the couriers leaving before an or­ ganized investigation o f the losses was made. Fighting continued through the day, the federals retreat­ ing under cover o f night. It was reported to rebel leaders here that the main force o f federals moving from the south had reached Temosachic, 30 miles south o f Madera. The fe d e ra l are reported to number 2000 seasoned regulars led by Gener­ als Rabago and Telles. As the rebel garrison at Madera 'numbers no more than that, and as this town virtually was evacuated by the movement against General Blanco, it is probable that the federals w ill enter this dis­ trict without an engagement. Eight hundred rebels are operating along'the national railway between Juarez and Gallego, opposite this point. Tbe Juarez garrison has been strengthened to 800 men. When the army led by General Sanjines crosses the Chihuahua line the federal troops will outnumber largely the rebels in Chihuahua. Still another army of federals is moving along the line o f the national railway from the city o f Chihuahua. INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE UNCLE 6AM T O T E S T LAW.

"Ah?” queried Stanton; suddenly the conviction that she had done thli purposely flared up anew, and wltk It his anger. She would have a rao ing driver for her chauffeur? Very well. He swung Into the. seat. Until they were out of the city, h< drove with a wise obedience to traffic regulations. But when the country line was reached, Stanton stopped the car, donned a small pair of gog­ gles from his overcoat pocket, and passed bis bat back to Mr. Carlisle's care. " I am sorry I had no time to get Into motor clothes," he observed. • little too pleasantly. "Still we will manage." They made the next ten miles In ten minutes, having a fair road. Then rough hills and villages somewhat lowered their pace. It was a dizzying rush through a gale of wind, a blrdllk« cleaving of tbe summer air, accompa­ nied by the weird howl of the electric horn upon which Stanton kept a fin­ ger much of the time, a vision of scat­ tering wagons. There was a curious circumstance. Valerie Carlisle literally cowered In her seat, pale, shivering, usually with her eyes shut. Yet sue, the Imperious demander of her own way, uttered no remonstrance, although faintly crying out once or twice when they slid by some obvious danger of cliff or road. Stanton saw, from the corner of his eye, and speculated as he drove. “ Do you think this Is safe?" Mr. Car­ lisle found an opportunity to urge. "I think so, if nothing breaks," Stan­ ton called back, twisting the car around a load of hay. They reached their destination In two hours and ten minutes. When they entered the village limits knd the speed fell to fifteen miles an hour, Mr. Carlisle slowly revived, and regained his breath and his glasses. His daughter used her grasp of the seat, raised a shaking hand to touch veils and bonnet, then passed a hand­ kerchief across her dry lips and looked up at the man beside her. "How do you like the car?” she asked. Stanton surveyed her, almost sur- prised into compunction. “ It hasn’t the Mercury’s pull, to be perfectly frank,” he answered. “ It is a trifle heavy and less lively. But it is a fine machine, and of course you do not want to race with It." “ Of course I do not want to race with It,” she slowly assented, and Klamath Falls— A case which ex­ Salem— W ith the announcement that cites considerable interest in this sec­ bids w ill be opened for the new Su­ tion is that o f the United States preme court and State Library build­ o f The G o me jrn i the Candle General Resume o f Important Eventa against C.
