Tell of Narrowing Experiences.
All have interesting stories to tell
o. the narrowing experiences Of the
past fortnight and all are glad TO be
away from the scene until after the
real peace and order are restored.
The troubles Of the district accord
ing to the stories told began when
Villa two weeks ago entered Parral
9nd sent Col de Ia Luz Soto, the Ma
derista jefe d'armas. to the City OF
Mexico a prisoner. Villa began to col
lect money from the business men. in
Guiding the banks by the most ap-
proved stand and deliver methods and
in all secured. It IS said, between 275,,
900 and 100000 pesos which he appro.
priated to his own use
The looting Of the stores which be-
gan last Thursday night and continued
till Friday morning, they attribute to
the vanguard Of Salazar's victorious
army which some ESQ or 800 strong en-
tered the city at about s o'clock Thurs
day evening That they were helped
by those of Villas men who did not fiv
with their leader Thursday afternoon
and by the lower elements Of the Cffv's
population they admit. That much
stuff was stolen by the latter is evil
denced by the fact that 100000 pesos
worth Of plumber has been returned bv
the Iooters since Salazar issued his or
der Of Saturday that any resident OF
the CITY found with stolen goods
would be summarily shot. Among the
goods so returned were a player plano
two blows, a harrow, countless shoveIs
and hoes, twelve sewing machines
thousands Of shoes, bolts Of cloth etc
When they will return none Of the
refugees will venture to say.
