That is about all there is to

LIKE A CIRCUS AND
 NOT 4 WAR SCENE
HearSt's Manager Gets a Glimpse of Real Southwest
 American Audacib

Al-BuQuERoUE. N. M.. April 2S.-
 i was never more surprised in my life than when I visited the camp of Madero's soldiers outside of Juarez and there saw hundreds of sightseers buying peanuts and lem onade, while cannons and rifles were in sight on all sides like ths arena of a wnd west show This is the way the siege of Juarez is described by F M Ihmsen. general manager of the Los Angeles Exam iner. who spent yesterday here. enroute 10 the coast. He visited Juarez and also the insurrecto camp near the old shelter out of Fl Paso, where he had an interesting conver- sation with the rebel officers.
 I found the street cars crowded with curious people, among them being many well dressed women and children They were all going to see the insurrectos. It looked like a big circus. l got out to the camp and was entertained by the rebel officers. who treated me with great courtesy. Imagine my sur prise to see the sentries walking their posts. field artillery leveled at Juarez and every man with a rife and belt full of cartridges. In strik- ing contrast was a big lemonade stand where a hoarse voiced Ameri- can was barking like a sideshow promoter of big circus. There was a man there playing on an organ and a monkey dancing around hold ing out his hat for nickles. An in- surrecte carrying a rife was also peddling peanuts at five sack in good English. It has all the ap- pearance of a big circus except that there was an air of determina- ton about the men and a sinister grimness to the guns and cartridge belts. I also noticed a few of the rebels with bandages about their arms and heads, where red stains spoke more plainly than words.
 T was impressed with the rebel officers. Without any exception they were determined, wide awake sort of men, gentle but firm, and appeared to fear defeat worse than death. They treated me well and had quite a talk with them.
 Tn spite of myself I could not help to be amused when saw what an outing the affair had been turned into by your American tourists and sightseer. To them 1t was joke; to the insurrectos it is deadly ear nest and there are some fighting men back of those guns, peanuts and Lemonade notwithstanding"

 Mayor Mcguire of Douglas received considerable publicity during the re cent troubles just over the border. His name was frequently mentioned in the press dispatches that were sent out, and in one of these it was said that he had made tour of the hospitals here and over the line and also visited the prisoners in Agua Prieta. This publicity, which he ob- tained brought him numerous letters of inquiry. including ore received this morning from Seattle. from anxious parents who believe their runaway boy has ioined the insur- recto force. In the letter there was enclosed a kodak picture of the youth, and he was also described.
 The parents of Charles W. Con ners say they have reason to be- lieve he went to Mexico. and that he went against their wishes. He is 1S years old and resided at 40 Six teenth avenue, N. Seattle Any in- formation of his whereabouts or con- dit.on will be appreciated by his parents.

WINDOWS AND DOORS
 CAUSED THE DANGER
Otherwise People in Adobe Houses. at Agua Prieta
 Would Have Been Safe
Coughs International ,


 Agua Prieta presents a battle scared appearance. ten days after the fighting. It Is not so much mo- ticeable at first glance as it is with a little observation Houses have not been battered down as would have been the case had artillery been used, but as one looks closely many bullet marks are observable. Generally the adobe walls were good protection for the few who were within the buildings, but bull let marks are to be seen in these from all directions. The danger to those who were within the houses came from bullets that entered through doors and windows. and with the hail of shots that fell about the town it was not possible but that there should have been many of these.
 Much has been written as to the Widow Talamantes," who. moved by the spirit of vengeance. is pic tured as following the trail of Don Francisco Chiapas, as a Nemesis in- carnate. But she is not the only wo- man who will be remembered from the Mexico revolution. Over in Agua Prieta, during all the fighting. mid all the terrors, there remained an American woman, one well known in Douglas. The spirit that made her risk life cheerfully over in the border town was not ven geance. but Mothers Love, for she was protecting her property for the sake of her boy. This woman was Mrs Alice Gatliff She had many close escapes during the fighting. Al least fourteen bullets entered her house and several of them missed !, her by the narrowest margins.
 When the insurrectos detrained on April 13 and the fighting began Mrs. Gatliff hurried to the telephone to tell friends on this side of the line As she stood at the instrument a bullet came through a window and buried itself in the wall alongside | of her head and not foot away. This was the first of the close calls that she had. Her narrowest escape came in the Monday battle. She stood looking through a screen door at the approach of the federals from the southeast when a bullet touched ! her dress and as she started back ! another brushed her hair. These were only some of the many times she escaped wounds or death.
 Mrs. Gatlin tells a story of going put to aid a man she saw fall and thought was only wounded. She took some water and a flask of {; brandy, went to him. with the bull lets falling all about her, constantly i under fire. only to find he Lad been | killed She was never able to de eide the source from which the bull lets came that seemsd to be directed near her to drive her back to the house.
 Not many soldiers are to be seen about the streets of the border town. Sentries are posted on out lying adobes, the roofs of these are fortified and generally the for;i- fcations have been so strengthened as to make the taking of the town 1 hereafter vastly more difficult than it has been before. Some of the residents, though not many, have re- turned to their homes and yester- day afternoon all was quIet and peaceful over the line.

Paying the Damage.

One of the features of the peace agreement said to have been agreed to is that the Mexican government will assume payment of the expense of the revolution, including payment for all the damages caused by the insurrectos. The heaviest loser in this vicinity on account of the trouble below the line is F. P. Men doza. whose store at Agua Prieta was footed by the insurrectos while they were in that town. The claim of MT. Mendoza will amount to sew eral thousand dollars for goods either taken or destroyed.
