WILL ATTEMPT TO AVOID BLOODSHED TI I ERE EL PASO, Tex., Aprii 20. That the American troops in Mexico will mark time for the next 10 days was the view ex pressed by Mexican officials in Juarez today. At the end of that time théy believe the withdrawal of the United States expedition will be ordered by the Washington Gov ernment. Fear that longer delay by the Amerian authorities in reaching a decision will result in increas ed antagonism on the part of Mexican citizens was openly ex pressed at General Gavira's headquarters, but it was stated there that every precaution was being taken by the Carranza troops to prevent further blood shed such as occurred at Parrai.

Michael McGannon, who has controlied the destinies of the Indiana-Punxsutawney passeng-1 er train for so many years that ; he has come to be regarded al most as part of tlie train itself, has received a substantial and much merited promotion. Start ing tonight he will have a through run on one of the nighi "flyers" on the main line of the 8., R. and P. railroad, a position wich carries with it additional prestige as well as an increase of wage. Mr. McGannon has been in the employ of the 8., R. and P. railroad for more than 30 years * and in point of service, is one of the oldest employes on the road. During his long service as con ductor on the Indiana train Mr. McGannon has become known to practically every person who us es the branch for travel and he is going to be sorely missed by the "regulars." Efficient and obliging, Mr. McGannon is one of the company's foremost ad vocates of the slogan that has made the 8., R. and P. one of the foremost passenger carry ing railways of the East "Safety and Service." Mr. McGannon will be suc ceeded on the branch by James Moore, who has been the con ductor on the Iselin-Creekside branch for the past 12 years. Mr. Moore will probably movo his family to Punxsutawney and they will be gladly welcomed here. The promotion for Mr. Mc- Gannon will necessitate his mov ing to either Rochester or Buf falo.—Punxsutawney Spirit.
