take him again and never give IN
same horse back twice the same day.
Fox took the hint and beat it back
to the ranch.
First and last the camp owes much
to Fox and his gift Of diplomacy he
speaks Spanish like a native knows the
country like a book and has a faculty
for making the average Mexican think
he is just about the prince of gringOes-
He was always greeted as Drother oy
such men as Dolores Chico" AlatOrre,
del TorO, Mascarenas and Valenzuela
and had ROjas and Campo eating out
of his hand, but Che Che" put one
over on him. The big 'Lagunera' was
too much for him
No Horses in MADEIRA.
MADEIRA is about as barren of horses
and mules since the departure of the
rebels for Sonora as it has been Of
American women since the exodus OF
Sunday, following the terrible. Satur-
day night when del CampOs's ire
sponsible raiders rode through the
American quarter of the city
The women will come back when
peace is restored but the horses Will
never come back and to replace them
will cost fully 100000.
In the meantime the business of
packing. cattle herding and trucking
ment to hundreds of horses and mules
will be crippled until new stock can
be brought in
Mills Not Crippled by Exodus.
when it was decided to send the women
to FL PasO that enough men would
become panic stricken and so to make
it necessary to shut down the plant but
the fear proved groundless- Only 80
men went out and many OF them simply
went with their wives to locate them
comfortably in El PasO and are al
ready returning to their jobs
The mills were not crippled in the
least and the increase of efficiency in
the men at work caused by a knOwl-
edge that their wives and children are
out of danger has convinced the man
women was wise move.
Was Precautionary Measure.
The women were not sent out solely
because there was reason to believe
they were in imminent danger of be-
ing attacked. but there was always
the danger that drunken soldier
might speak to or lay hands upon
woman which with the intense feeling
gainst the rebels caused by the night
raid of del Campos's irreSpOnsibles
would bring on a killing which might
result in wholesale murder.
With the women safe in Gods
country" the men are relieved of the
burden of worry regarding them and
not only can do their work more ef-
ficiently but can be depended upon TO
give better service as defenders or the
town should defence prove to be nee
essary. a man with wife, mother or
sister, or even sweetheart in town
properly WOulQ insist upon DeluS Will
her in case of trouble and every man
so encountered would weaken the gen
eral defence just that much.
With women scattered all over town
their defenders could be picked off one
at a time by the marauders while the
general defence could do nothing Tor
them
1t is the consensus of opinion that
even if nothing happens in MADEIRA,
the sending out of the women was the
wise thing to do. In fact that there
are no or but few, women in town may
prove to be the very reason why moth
ing viii happen.
DR.. Commons Loses Horses.
About the SOrest man in MADEIRA up
to the time of his departure on the
refugee train Sunday night was DR..

open the door and as he didn't want
to see the mozo killed he had to turn
off the heavy voltage Within a few
minutes his highly priced horses. three
Of them, were being led away by the
raiders and all the doctor has to show
for them is q vale" signed by del
Campo. That's why he is sore.
ROjas stops at Hotel.
While ROjas was in MADEIRA he made
his headquarters at the Hotel MADEIRA
His officers and men called on him
