BURIED MONTHS
IN MEXICAN JAIL
American Turned His Auto Into
Monument To Save Life of Girl
Now Hes Mad Clear Through.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 16.--
There is one man, an American, who
wants to see this Mexican business
go through. In fact. he is eager for
II, with an eagerness that amounts
well-night to a passion.
This Americans name is Joseph
Klinglesmith. lie lives in Oklahoma
City. U. 5. A.
He is proud of the L. s. A. More
so, for the reason that he lived once
in Mexico. And he is hoping that the
U. s. A. does things to Mexico.
The reason?
He spent three days less than three
months in a Mexican prison.
The offense?
To save the life of child he ran
an automobile into a government
statue in the City OF Mexico, and
knocked the statue over.
In the u. S. A. this would have
made Klinglesmith a hero, for he
risked his life and suffered a broken
arm 10 save the life of the child.
In Mexico? This is what il did TO
Khnglesmith in Mexico:
1t landed him in slushy and YER
mininfested dungeon, where he was
forced TO set his own broken arm
with splinters torn from the rottlng
floor, and where. with II other pris-
oners, he remained 10 days.
II put him where he was forced TO
bride a warden to get halfway decent
accommodations. for the rest OF the
weeks he remained in prison without
trial.
II put him in position where he was
given the alternative of paying for
freedom $3.50 (the precise amount OF
his deposit in a Mexican banR) or re-
naming in prison indefinitely.
IL forced him TO live for three
months on mush, horse meat, bull
meat, bread and beans-nothing else
II finally cost him his $96O--for he
gave up the fight.
And It brought him TO place
where he was glad TO sign a state
ment declaring the statue in question
had been run into maliciously, with
deliberate intent 10 bring harm, dam
age and disaster TO the property OF
the Mexican government!
When he got out of jail he learned
TO his great relief that the child
hadn't been hlled-hadn't even been
scratched,
And he learned to his disgust that
the statue of old General Quintana
Roo hadn't been hurt much after all
that all the damage done had been
repaired in half an hour.
And so. now that his fellow coun.
trymen in the states are little
peeved over other, and slightly more
public mistreatment of Americans.
he is hoping that they go through
with it, and mistreat the Mexicans a
little.
And he grlts his teeth when he
says so.
lie is willing to help.
