El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1912-08-24

Hundreds of dollars worth Of dishes
have been carried off. Some families
haven't dish, mirror, clock or Orna-
ment left. Books We're thrown from
shelves and left in the middle of the
I floor. Mrs. Spencer has gone in and
replaced them and has gone from house
{ to house. and where there were chick
ems, Mrs. Spencer and her son have
fed them
At the home of Ben. F. LeBaron the
Greater number of his chickens remain
In his coop several skunks have been
killed, and at the Bowman place sew
eral raccoons have been captured while
they were after chickens.
Many of the cows are being taken
care of by the natives who are IN the
different homes. Many OF the homes
show no signs of the raid. The homes
of Harry Payne, Timothy Jones. John
Prows. all have Mexicans living in
them and are apparently in good con-
dition. They have been pilfered, but
the damage otherwise is not great
Fruit Crop Not Touched.
The piano at the school house and the
piano of H S Harris are still in po-
sition. Other pianos that were re-
ported as having been shipped to
Ciudad Juarez are still in Dublan in
the respective places. The home of A.
B. Call shows no signs of having been
entered. Fruit trees have not all been
stripped, several peach trees in the
orchard of B. F. LeBaron are loaded
with fruit, Gardens have been de-
stroyed by stock and hogs which have
had free access to them. Where gates
were left open, trees have been broker
and eaten by stock. The corn and
growing crops have suffered for wa
ter, as there mas been little rain until
this last week.
Josiah Spencer went up and opened
the gates to the canal when he saw
the flood waters running to waste, so
the reservoirs will be replenished.
In Colonla Juarez, personal property
has Jared better. The store was en-
tered there and clerks put in to sell
goods and they have some money to
turn over to the owners; in Dublan
both stores were looted and everything
the hooters wanted was carried away.
Many of the orchards in Colonia JuareZ
have not been touched, and the fruit
hangs on the trees in great abundance.
COIonists VIII Return.
Mr.. Harris called on Gen. Sanjines
He said they would do all they could to
protect life and property. He says the
country is full of rebels and they are
trying to head them off, but they will
have to go where the enemy goes, there
fore there can be no permanent depend
ance put in the protection of the gov
ernment until they have the situation
under control. He seems to favor the
entrance of men, who can defend them
selves but not OF women.
Some of the colonists expect to re-
turn to Dublan tomorrow or Monday,
but very few women will accompany
them, as the men have declared they
would not risk the lives of their fam
lilies while the political conditions were
so unsettled
Lorenzo Anderston and Vera Pierce
with others left this morning for Utah.
Officials Visit Gen. Teller.
Mormon migration to the Mexican
colonies will begin Monday unless the
rebels return to the Mormon district
in the meantime
Those having urgent business at the
colonies will be permitted to return
Sunday and all others who wish to go
back may do so Monday with the ap-
proyal of the conference committee of
