Douglas, Ariz. March # 12.—
General Carranza has promised
the United States that the lives
and property of foreigners in the
territory controlled by the Con
stitutionalists will he protected
but made it clear today that if
foreign countries wish to deal
with the Constitutionalists they
must deal direct with him and not
through the United States.
News was received here today
that Charles Howard, a negro
citizen of the United States, was
killed by Yaqui Indians while a
detachment of Constitutionalists
were looking on. Edwin Gray,
an American citizen, has disap
peared from Juarez and no trace
of him can be found.

TWO REGIMENTS ‘
SENT TO BORDER.
Washington, D. C., March 12.—.
Dispatch of two additional regi-'
merits of American infantry to ELEPHANT LYNCHED
While no official announcement
has been issued by the Atlantic
Coast Line it is reported that
during the month of April the
Dixie Limited, the tourist train
which is now in its second season,
will be discontinued for the sum
mer.
It has been hoped that the
roads interested in the operation
of the Dixie Limited would de
cide to make the service extend
through the entire year, but bus
iness evidently does not justify
such a schedule as yet.
However, the Limited has
grown to be a very popular train
between Chicago and the South
and it is believed it is only a ques
tion of another year or so at. least
before it will bo made a year-
round train, such as the Dixie
Flyer, the Seminole Limited, and
others operated through this city.

Harteville, S. C., March 12.
A large elephant which escaped
from a circus train, said to have
been wrecked yesterday on the
Seaboard Air Line, was killed
last night in the woods about six
miles from here by a large party
of men, who in a long chase used
shotguns, rifles and axes in dis
patching the mammal. Excite
ment was great and many were
the wild, but baseless rumors of
damage done by the beast. An
effort was made to have the local
miltia orderd out to protect the
inhabitants from the elephant,
which no doubt was merely dis
playing the exuberance of spirit
induced by it* new-found liberty.
So far as known, no person or
property was injured by the late
gle denizen.
BRUNSWICK HEARS THAT IT
WON’T BE QUINCEY THIS YEAR

W. Quineey is going to do about
the congressional race he is said

with Judge Quineey, of Douglas,
and it is my opinion that he will
not be a candidate, though he is
being mentioned all over the dis

told me only a few days ago that
he was positive that Judge Quin-
