APOSTLE A. ". WINS
HOME FROM MEXICO
Says Mormon ColoniSts Have
Only Suffered Loss of
Little Property.

Apostle Anthony w Wins of the Nor
mon church returned to the city yester-
day morning after visit to Mexico
which extended over SIX weeks of time.
Mr.. WINS returns in the best OF health
and reports the condition OF Mrs. WINS
TO be much improved. While in Mexico
he made a considerable examination into
the difficulties that have surrounded the
Mormon coionists there, and cxerted his
potent influence in rendering the condl-
ton Of the settlers more secure In an
interview had with Mr.. Wins last night
he summed up the Mexican situation as
affecting the coIonisas from Utah. as fol-
lows:
",rhe situation is Just This Up 10 date
our people have suffered only in the loss
of little property. The marauders hive
killed cattle and taken horses without
leave or hlndrance. Otherwise our peo-
pie have not been molested, and sspe-
cially not in a serious way, as affecting
their personal safety. This is largely due
to the fact that both psrties--the Liber-
slists and the government Gorces--haVe
enGeavored 10 the best of their ability,
Ia protect foreigners and preserve their
interests.
The greater menace has been through
the activities Of organized parties Of
armed mon who have been acting indc-
pendently OF either the government or
the Llberalist forces. These bands Of ir-
respOnsib,es have had no regard for any
law except that which procnsms might
to be right They constitute the great
est source OF danger with which our
people and all others arc Obliged 10 deal
Notwithstanding the existing apparent
quiet in the neighborhood OF the colonies.
the situation is one that induces an un-
comfortable tensencss. No one knows
when new or herccr trouble may break
out, and naturally the people are in Il
constant state OF half fear and apprehen-
sion However. ] feel that our colonists
are safe long as they maintain their
attitude OF participation, which I am
confident they will do. In that case they
are comparatively safe from personal
harm, although they may always expect
petty thefts and plundering forays by the
irresponsibles until the trouble shall be
pompietely ended. -
