checks for the face of tho noto and

Upon returning homo from Port
land last night Governor West callol
Into conferences, II. II. Thletsen, Hus
scl Catlln and Joe Daumgartncr, ap
praisers of the Uush estate. He
told them that at times ho had owed
Dush as much as S 17,000 and had
always paid. He also asked them
why no attention was paid to the
collateral, In the form of a llfo In
surance policy, that was being held
In connection with tho noto and they
arc said to have replied that It baJ
been overlooked.
Want Ite-Appraisemcnt
Today the governor addressed n
letter to the statu treasurer saying
his attention had been called to the
appraisement of tho Hush estate and
charges made in tho press that the
estato was under appraised and
stated that ho had found Items which
he knew to be under valued and
which would justify rc-appralsemcnt.
In reply State Treasurer Kay said
in part:
"In this estato as in all others, w
endeavor to take up personally with
all persons whose notes are returned
for less than par value and ascertain
if there nre good reasons why the
appraisers should make such a find
ing and return. In connection with
this phase of tho question, without
desiring In any manner to bo per
sonal, wo would like to bo informed
by jou ns to tho real valuo of the
note of S2200 listed la tho Asahel

nnd your personal curiosity satis
tied, 1 hand you herewith checks
amounting to S2600. samo being the
amount and principal and Interest in
full, and asking that you kindly hand
these to the proper parties."
Tho governor told Assistant Treas
urer Kyan, who brought hi in Secre

and tho state treasurer had taken
this means to dlscrodit him. Ilynn
denied that tho state treasurer's of
fice had anything to do with It.

The message wns dated Inst night,
an hour or two nflcr n dispatch was

Gomez Palaeio, the rout of the fed

KL PASO. Tex.. -Mnrrb 2o. Ktf
Krs that General Villa had been re
pulsed by the federals under General
Vclnsco were current here this after
noon. It was learned also on good
authority that General Carrnnza wun
not on bis way to Juarez, but was
hurrying toward Torrcon to help
Villa. It was said Villa bnd sent
urgently to him for aid.
Besides the rumors iu circulation
nlong the border, J. II. Smith, nit
American resident of Kl Pnso, with
large Muxicnn interests, received n
telegram frWm his partner in Mexico
City saying the Torrcon federals bud
driven Villa's men out of Gomez Pa
laeio ami killed oOO of them.
The telegram's author, of courv?,
got his news from federal sources,
which it was assumed were likely to
give their side the benefit of every
doubt.
Villa's silence, however, was gener
ally considered ominous, llcbels in
Juarez also refused to give out uny
information, though it was known
they were in communication with
Villa's field headquarters. Lust night
they asserted that Torrcon had beon
captured. Today they were making
no such boasts.
