El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1911-05-15

Circulating about Ell Paso going from
Madero to the telegraph office and from
the telegraph office to Madero, are
senors Esquibel Obregon and Oscar
Braniff. Oregon is of Spanish and
Braniff of Irish descent. They have
taste for politics and strategem and are
known as the 'go-betweens.' They are
rich. and for that reason they say they
favor peace. Also they have been here
several weeks.
Obregon is a lawyer and lives IN Mex
leo at Aguascalientes, which means
ssHot Waters and is therefore good
place for lawyer. Saturday afternoon
he got in touch with Orozco, general IN
command of the insurrecto army. Ihey
consulted and confabbed for the space OF
an hour, after which Orozco lett Tor
Juarez in tall state of wrath. Orozco
claims that he was ''insulted." Oregon
declares that he but sought TO give
Orozco reasons-the latter says that
Obregon had 100000 reasons the
rebellion was a failure and ought not
to succeed.
No one was present but Obregon and
Orozco, and therefore no one feels safe
in telling all that either gives as the
substance of the talk. As finale, how
ever, it may be stated that Oregon IS
keeping deeply silent, while Orozco goes
about talking of 'shis honor and saying
that there isn't money enough in the
Mexican treasury TO win him to the
support of Diaz. In fact; Orozco bears
himself with pround inflated chest, as
one whose virtue is superior to any sor-
did claim of avarice.
Gen. Navarro.
Gen. Juan Navarro is in seclusion in
Ell Paso. Ne one-beyond the fact that
he is in Ell Paso-knows where he Is.
This retirement from society is to pre-
vent some casual caller who remembers
how the innocent SO were set up against
the wall at Cerro Prieta and riddled
with mausers or who has grievances more
personal from clapping a Colts 40 to the
Navarro stomach and-in the language
Of the region. fbumping the general

The Saturday Incident.
1t transpires that president Madero'S
double interviews with. Villa and Orozc0
were even warmer than at first reported.
Villa is a tall florid round faced CALI
clan. with high temper, light hair and
fair skin His home Businesses are in
the mountains of Chihuahua. not 80
miles from TIE city of that name, and IN
his time he has been bit of a bandit.
He is said to be man of enterprise
and daring. and 700 mounted, followers
touch their sombreros as he rides by.
Not long ago while plotting against the
DiaZ government, he was BETRAYED by
one who pretended syn~ath- with the
insurrestion, then about to be born.
Villa mounted his war horse and all
alone rode into Chihuahua and killed the
spy on his own doorstep. They say too,
that the scaIps of six other dead gentle
men hang at his bride rein.
Madaro Not in Fear
For all Villas CORY reputation, MadeTo
had no fear of him. When Villa, armed
to the ears. came to the presidential
offices in Juarez. demanding that Cen
Navarro be turned over to him and his
men-then outside to the number OF
hundreds-Madero backed him into a
corner and gave him a. tongue flashing
each word cut like a blow from
a quirt.
Don't talk to me--to your president,
like thatt' cried Madero Beware
senior Villa, or l will have YOU shot
shot in sight of your own men!"
The suggestion of his Gown men" put
an idea into Villas head, for he at once
started for the door to take refuge
among them. As he withdrew, Madero !
hurled after his retreating spurs the in /
formation that he, Villa, was a ''brigand"
and ''robbeT." and lucky to be alive.
Orozco's Turn.
Then it was Orozco's turn. Orozco |
had brought his officers with him. These, !
all armed, took the doors as though to
prevent the escape of Madero. The |
thing was plainly a plot. But it failed, |
and was fooled by the splendid courage |
of Madero. who. while not so much a
soldier as a student, more given to !
libraries than camps, books than
Mausers, is an example of enthusiasm
and steadfastness.
1t would be a disgrace to our cause
to kill Navarro!' exclaimed Madero to
Orozco Awkward Youth.
Orozco is a different man from Villa.
Large, rawJboned, black as a Navajo, I
beardless, he looks somewhat like a /
great angular awkward youth. Also. he
is not bandit, at least in the technical
Sense.
More wary than Villa. Orozco said he
had not come TO talk of Navarro, but of
rations and pay Madero, he declared.

and his valiant followers, who had done

more than wave it. As closer he told
