SECURE MONEY DURING STAY IN MADEIRA

bar was unanimously approved by
the large membership of the club.
Every man among them recognized the
gravity of the situation and not a pro-
test was filed.
Lack of Jefe Augmented Trouble.
Much of the trouble at MADEIRA can
be traced to the fact that there had
been no jefe de las armaS in town with
authority. Each commander when he
comes IN IS 1efe While he Is here ana
his methods are usually at variance
with the methods of the commander
who succeeds him. This has caused an
sultant irritation and only the di-
plomacy of general manager Theds,
assistant general manager Lathrop
and plant manager Wisdom, of the
MADEIRA company, and general suPerin-
tendent Masteller of the North West
ern railroad has served to avert many
iSagreeable clashes. Gen. OrOzcO
was appealed to on Monday to name a
responsible representative and he
promptly appointed Col Jose Bermudez-
While he is in town no order for goods,
trains or anything else will be recog-
niZed unless 1t bears his signature
properly affirmed. This will put a
stop to the issuance of orders for
goods by this, that and the other petty
OFFICER, a polite form OF iegalized loot
ing, which has been the rule up to
this time. 1t has also served to Squelch
Col del Campo, whom all but his i'm
mediate followers repudiate, and who,
pos and until the coming of BermudeZ,
was very free with his orders upon
Americans to give up arms, horses and
other possessions upon which he might
have cast cOvetous eyes
All of this might have been averted
had Gen. OrozcO. when he decided
upon MADEIRA as a general rendezvous,
sent one of his staff to act as jefe de
las armas while the town was to be
occupied and whose duty it would
have been to see to the providing of
food, clothing and quarters Tor the
men and forage FOR the horses of the
various commands as they came into
camp. Had this been done much of the
bad feeling aroused during the past
ten days might have been averted.
Sells Horses; Then Seizes Them.
When "Che Che" Campos blew into
MADEIRA last Friday he brought with
him 16S more horses and mules than
he needed to mount his men and he
Immediately proceeded to convert them
that he had no trouble in disposing of
the entire "remuda TO those who
may always be found anxious to get
something for nothing and who have
no scruples against buying stolen
property, provided the rightful owner
is so far away he may not appear TO
claim his own. Horses and mules
worth $50 to $50 went for from $40 to
$40 and "Che Che" raEed in quite
considerable bit of cash in the aggre-
gate.
The buyers took their purchases
home and gIoated over their bargains"
Their gIoating was short lived, how
ever. for when che Che" hit the grit
for Dolores Sunday morning the horses
and mules went with him-his men
simply stole them again and Che Chess
command has the money and the ami
mails too.
Hearst Manager Kept Busy.
B. s. CBunny) Fox, the manager
of the Hearst CNahuerachic) ranch,
has been kept busy since the Occupa-
ton of MADEIRA by the rebels getting
back saddle stock Communicated by
the soldiers. As a diplomat, Fox does
not belle his name and has succeeded in
inducing such past masters in the art
of providing remOunts for their men as
ROjas and Campo to come across
with the Hearst horses taken frola
his ranch. but he met his match in
che Che The latter came into Ma
dera with y Hearst horses from the
Babicora ranch and he went out of
MADEIRA with all but one of them in
spite of all that Fox could say or DO
and ne is as active as cat and his
tongue swings on a pivot.
Che Che Has Ready Excuse.
He rounded up the stock Saturday
and talked che Che" into saying that
if he CFOX) would come to camp Sat
urday morning he would turn the
horses over to him. Fox was there
but che Che" had a good excuse for
retaining all but one of the animals
Fox reminded che Che" of his prom
Use to which "Chc Che" replied: What
1 said I would do yesterday and what
I viii do today are two different propO-
sitions." and he added: IF | were You
I would get away from here with the
horse I have just returned to YOU, be-
ause some one may come along and
