The situation of the Mormon colo

outbreak of the revolutionists in the
northern part of that republic has been
the cause Of considerable apprehension
on the part of relatives and friends of
the colonlsts in this state. and this
feeling Is not relieved in any measure
by an interview given to The Deseret

Ivans. For many years Elder WINS has
been active in establishing the colo

well acquainted with the conditions
there as anyone in this country
The situation is critical" said Elder
WINS; there is no Disgusting the fact.
We have eight colonies in Mexico, six
in the state of Chihuahua and two in the
state of Sonora. Altogether there are
about 1000 people in these colonies. The
towns of Guerrero and MADEIRA, which
were reported captured by the revo-
lutionlsts, nre within one days ride of
our settlements, Colonia Chuichaupa.
The other colonies are all more or less
in the danger zone. which seems to be
