But he ceased to be Joke the campaign went

FIRST |NSTALLMENT
 MEXICAN REFUGEES
They Are Being Cared For by Members
 of the Church of Latter Day Saints.

The first lot of refugees from Mexico have arrived in Mesa and are being cared for by the members of the Nor mon church, to which they belong The parry consists of women and chil- drens and they have some very sorrow ful stories to tell of their experiences in the war zone of Chihuahua. During the MaderO and later the Orozco revo- lutiOn, the Mormon colonies were fre- quently visited by federals and revo- lutiOnists and the products of the farms were freely drawn from Some times they received pay, and sometimes had orders for payment to be present ed to the Mexcan government. At the last Visitations of the rebels, all arms anu ammunition that could be found were taken by the soldiers and a very strong Hint was given the people that they had better get out of the country. As practically everything they had n the way of provisions was taken by the mar&uders, there was nothing to 10
 but travel as quickly as possible to American soil. At Fl Paso the refd- gees received prompt attention and as . sistance. Apostle Wins made the par : ties as comfortable as possible and the
 people of Fl Paso were very liberal. Many of those who arrived here have friends in Mesa and nearly all are acquainted with one or more of the Mesa people. The church authorities here in connection with 'hA Woman s l Relief society, are doing everything in their power to make tho ~afIgees com fOrtable. While in Mesa they will be well cared for.
