tions. One of the thirty-seven sa-
looms which constitute the majority of
of Mexicali business houses was set
on fire to prevent any of the men
of the insurgent army from securing
liquor. Under Leyva this is a tenn
perance town for the first time in
its history. The burning followed the
discovery of several insurrectos in the
saloon by Captain William Stanley,
Leyva's chief aide.
Stanley drew his revolver. chased
them out Of the place, forced them
to give up their bottles of liquor and
ordered up a detail to start the fire.
Then Stanley went about the task of
planting his dynamite mines.
Exactly where these mines are
planted remains a secret shared only
by Stanley, his chief. and the latter's
interpreter. They did the work them
selves. unassisted by any of the men
in the ranks.
However, if any federals attempt to
rush the town from the east they are
likely to suffer severely in dynamite
traps. Leyva and Stanley set out in
that direction with explosives after
warning a newspaper man to get back
over the line. They were last seen
beyond the railroad bridge blown up

American ranchers south of the
boundary went to Calexico today to
complain Of the rapacity of the re-
treating federals and to present to
stolen horses, cattle. wagons. and even
kitchen equipment Lee Little, one
of these ranchers, reported that after
communicating most of his live stock
the federals violated American neu-
trality by crossing the line and
marching eastward on United Sttaes
territory. evidently in order TO be safe
from attacks by the pursuing foes
This probably accounts for the failure
of Leyva's scouts to find Vega and
his fleeing command.
