Within the past few days there have been several arrivals from Ray in Bisbee. all looking for work in the mines here. and they report that there are now few Americans left in inc Ray mines.

MEMORIES
 OF DAYS OF FIGHTING
Only Woman Who Remained al Agua Prieta Visits Bis
 bee Friends

Mrs. Alice Gatliffe. who at the time of the Mexican revolution became inown as the heroine of Agua Prieta. spent yesterday in Bisbee visiting friends. There are many who know Mrs GatHffe in the district though probably most Of them will remember her as Mrs Smith, the name she bore before she married Mir Gatliffe and when she came to Bisbee number of years ago
 Mrs. Gatliffe was the only Ameri- an woman, indeed the only woman, vho remained in Agua Prieta during I'll of the fighting in that little Mexi- an town on the border that was so bitterly fought over by the contend ng parties There she owned a cu- -io store with a large stock of goods. and to save the property for herself and her adopted boy she stayed by the premises and faced many dan gers, taking the opportunity at the same time to do what good she could II the way of rendering assistance to he wounded.
 What is called the first battle of Agua Prieta was without danger to the residents, since it was mere skirmish between scouting parties and occurred several miles to the southeast of the town. The first real
 attle came when the insurrectos en- 'ered the town by train, and Mrs. Gatliffe was as much surprised as my one else on that occasion. Dur ng that fight she had many narrow escapes, and number Of bullets en- tered her house. It was then that she went out to take water to a wounded fUsurrecto while the bullets fell thick and whistled all about her. Later she had an opportunity to leave be- fore the attack was made by the federal forces that came up from the south bIt she refused to do so and steadfastly remained in her store.
