HE'S A GENIAL SHERIFF.

Sheriff Fitzpatrick of San Mi
guel county, who is here to at
tend the Steve Adams trial and
who had charge of the prisoner
for several months prior to Adj
ans removal to the Mesa coun-
ty jail, is most interesting
character.
Sheriff Fitzpatrick has been in the
state of Colorado for so many years
that he can be called typical Colo
radoan, and he has been in that
mountain county of San Miguel so
long that he can well lay claim to
the title of mountaineer. He is a.
charming fellow to meet-jolly, gen.
ial and with cordial greeting and
a quaint saying always at hand. They
say he Is immensely popular in San
Miguel, and we'll bet he is.
While he is harmless looking, he
is said to be fearless and ever at
tentive TO his duties. He is making
an excellent official record.
Sheriff Fitzpatrick will remain
here during the entire trial, although
he hopes to spend the Fourth at his.
home. He has already made many
friends here.
If you see man about feet
high, wearing big black hat with
its sides on the wilt, sunny smile
on his face. a comfortable looking
pipe hanging from his mouth. just
make guess that it is Sheriff Fitz-
patrick.

WAR MAY
COME
NOW
[By Associated Press. ]

City of Mexico. June 29-The in
ternational troubles of Mexico, which
developed several days ago along the
northern border now show serious
features.
Today the storm center is around
the city of Torreon and in the coun-
try between there and Jarral. where
the bandits are operating in con-
junction with the insurrectionists.
Government troops are rushing to
the scene.
Already / 800 federal troops have
reached Torreon to reinforce the
garrison there. Two hundred more
have reached Juarez, and in Chihua-
hua the soldiers are patrolling the
streets and the jails are heavily
guarded.
It is believed by the Mexican gov
ernment that the revolutionary
movement has been fomented by a
band of agitators who have long
made their headquarters in the Unit
ed States. On this ground it is be-
lieved that Ambassador Creel will
appeal to the United States to assist
in apprehending some of the revolu-
tionists, particularly those concerned
in the attack on Las Vacas, where
the government has now gained the
upper hand. The troops are in com
plete control of the situation in that
city. and the rebels and bandits have
been driven back to the mountains.
A large force OF cavalry has been
sent to the hills on the heels of the
fugitives. as the government is de-
termined to make an example of
them.
