CAPTURE OF HAY
MEANS HIS DEATH
Young Engineer, Admired
in Ell Paso, Would Not
Be a Prisoner.
By II. G. Turner.)

The loss of Eduardo F. Hay, who was
wounded and captured in the attack on
Casas Grandes, is a serious blow to the
revolutionary party.
Hay enlisted in FL Paso. He merely
asked to be allowed to fight as an
ordinary soldier. When captured he
held the rank of major, and was chief

of staff and member of the board of
strategy.
Som of a Scotchman.
Eduardo Hay is-or was as the case
may be, the son of a Scotchman, and
he showed his blood. He was blond and
looked more like young German, than
a Mexican, and his fluent English had
a distinct French accent. He was a
civil engineer, as his father had been.
The Scotchman had come to Mexico in
his youth. married a native woman Of
a prominent Mexico City family, and
young Hay was reared as any Mexican
youth. He was sent to Notre Dame uni
versity at South Bend, Ind, where he
learned to speak English, and gradu-
ated in civil engineering in the class
Of 1901 Not only his classmates re-
member him, but many residents of
South Bend still remember Eddie Hay.
as that polite little Mexican who had
good table manners" With one South
Bend family, young Hay learned to eat
apple pie. and he was fond of the re-
mark; You Americans prove your
civilization by your pie"
Known to Many Americans.
Although still a young man. not
more than 80 years, Hay has practiced
engineering in many parts Of Mexico,
and he was known by the many Amer
lean promoters who employed him.
W nile a skilled mechanic. he was more
particularly interested in the arts. and
was contributor to many magazines
and newspapers in the country During
the recent political campaign against
Diaz, he was one of the charter mem
'bers Of the. anti-reelectionist club Of
Mexico City, and wrote many articles
for the party of Madero.
While in Parral just after the Chi
huahua campaign, Hay was warned by
an official, an old friend of his father.
that his sharp tongue and more pointed
pen had attracted too much attention,
and that he had best leave the coun-
try. Accepting the tip" Hay came to
FL Paso, and offered his services to
the local junta. He was compelled TO
remain here in idleness for nearly a
month, and many in this city will re-
member him, a well groomed little
CHAP, with blond ustache and broad
smile.
Hays profession had taught him
much about dynamite, and he was a
strong advocate of its use in attack
Ing town. The story of the Casas
Grandes battle, shows that Hay had
his wish fulfilled, and that with his
men he played havoc with the towns
Qualifications before the arrival of the
federal reenforcements.
Hays Little Capsules.
But Eduardo Hay was wounded and
captured, something which he dreaded
above all things When he came here
from Parral it was known that Hay
carried two capsules of poison, and that
he had decided to use them in case of
Imprisonment. "Of course 1 might be
let free, since they have no proof
against me-" he explained, but I do
not want to rot in jail; 1 want to, die
lighting, and now l am going to have
a chance, just as common soldier"
Whether or not Hay still carried his
two little poison pills is not known
But it Is believed that he never will be
tried before a court, civil or military.
Few persons carry out threats of sui
eide, but Eduardo Hay never was
afraid of anything-not even afraid of
himself
