BANDIT is A HERO

ter not inaugurated his revolt against
the Diaz government Zapata would
have soon started one of his own.
Zapata did not quit fighting when
the peace compact was signed be-
tween Madero and the Diaz govern
ment. He had wrongs still to avenge.
and the petty municipal and district
officers who had carried out the or
ders of the government were the spe-
cial objects of his vengeance. He and
his men have shown special hatred
and cruelty toward the land owners
who dispossessed them of their small
farms.
Emiliano Zapata is the hero of the
common people, not only of the states
that are now in actual revolt, but of
all portions of the country. The seeds
of revolt that have been sown by
Zapata are likely to continue to bear
fruit for years to come, unless the
government is able quickly to grant
the demands of the lower class for a
division among them OF the vast es.
tates which have for the most part
been established by the merging OF
small properties taken either by force
or by semblance Of law.
Zapata is a man Of fine physique,
He was married only few months
ago to a pretty mountain girl, and she
has been his constant companion ever
since.

Judge Fisk informs Grant s. YOU

hear the Normal school injunctional
case Wednesday or Thursday of next
week. He would hear It sooner, but
for the fact that he is holding court
in Williams county, and cannot got
away sooner.
It is hoped that the Judge can rem
der his decision at an early enough
date so that the case can be taken to
the Supreme court for the April
term. It is necessary to file cases
in the Supreme court sixty days in
advance Of IT'S session, and no time
can be lost. If the case misses the
April term. it will have to wait for
the November term which would
mean Supreme Court decision prob
