the prize fight Sunday" an
FL Paso fight fan said Monday. Few
. if any, knew when frankie Gage was
battling to overcome the Thorpe boy
! in the ring Sunday Afternoon, that he
was fighting for more than few dol
/ lars in the kitty. He was fighting
| for the life OF his brother, Charlie, to
/ whom ne is as devoted as Damon ever
| dreamed of being to Pythias. Charlie
was a lightweight fighter of great re-
nown in his day and he still has the
| knowledge up in his head of the
proper methods OF ring generalShip, as
witness his handling of his doughty
| brother in the tight places Sunday.
But the rigOr of the training camp
was too much for his constitution and
he is broken physically. It was to
recover his health that Charlie Gage
I came to FL PaSO and brother frankie,
the only wage earning member of the
family since his brother has been i'll,
took on the fight Sunday to make
their expenses while his brother re-
cuperates here. To take the pOmmel-
ing that those boys tOOk-and gave
would lay business man in bed for
week But Frankie was doing II
for the love of that big brother and
all he thought Of was of that same
brother, who had taught him his
wonderful cleverness and speed"

Amateur photographers think that
the professional camera men are
making a barrel of money off of this
Mexican business" Otis Aultman- The
Herald staff photographer said Tues
day as he was crossing to Juarez in
a Mexico car to take some pictures
Of the American consul. Sad to say,
we cannot telegraph our pictures and
the result is that we are usually two
Of three days behind the news with
our pictures and often bigger things
break IN the meantime and our pic
lures are returned with the usual for
nal note of regret attached. For this
reason We have to protect ourselves
+H-S be sure Of our ground before we
IShe InS- time and go to the expense
OF making a F8cture without making
sure lnar we haVe market for it."
IF we could take towns of strategic
Importance as readily as the rebels we
would be considered military wonders
said Col Juan y. VaSQueZ. OF the Jua-
rez garrison, in his polished Spanish.
First they have taken TOrreo1q. then
Guaymas and now they are claiming
Mazatalan. From reading their. ac-
counts II has impressed me that the
rebels have-what is it you Amerf-,
cans say?-a very clever press agent"

NO one who has never been a pris-
oner in a foreign country with his
captors speaking an alien tongue and
no friends near, can appreciate the
frappe feeling up the spine that one
has" immigration inspector Charles B. /
Dixon (Who is the only living vic
tim of the ley fuga" known to his
tory,) said Tuesday afternoon as he
looked out Of his hospital room win
COW toward Juarez where he was
shot by Mexican federal soldiers Sat
urday. L admit it without shame that
L was scared, not frightened, but down
right scared. when those dirty Mex [
lean soldiers started to tWO-step me |
off toward the hills from which no
rHrnrnnrh MA
leap frog up and down my spine as I
think Of It and of the escape had, for |
1 was positive that I was to be ex- !
ecuted. And talk about running; why,
the graveyard niger who did a mile
in nothing was cold molasses beside ?
me when I got to going good. At 4
first I thought four bullets had passed |
me. including the one which tarried 1
awhile IN my inner works, but upon /
sober second thought, I have decided i
that I only saw the two shots twice, |
once when they passed me and again /
when L passed them I surely was !
running and 1 would have bernhard to !
catch If the policeman had not /
did"
No, if I can't run a legitimate sa-
loon business, I viii close up and get
out" said Joe Kopf. the other day,
When someone asked him if the $3.50
closing law was hurting business and
SL6 6tSltQ tudL ne start a -eluD' IKE
some of the other saloons have done. (
I nave never done anything but
legitimate business and I intend to
continue it Joe continued. Joe is a
sample "a OF some OF the saloon men Of
FL Paso, who are trying to see that |
every saloon law is Obeyed and who
realize that obedience to the law is
the pest for the saloon keeper-the
only sure way to help combat prohi-
DlIon- There are a number of saloon !
men OF this type in Ell Paso and they /
are said to have banded together to !
see that the officers of the law prose-
cute the Iawiess who violate the state
statutes They realize that this is nee
essary to self protection. That the law
IS being observed was demonstrated (
the other evening at the Zeiger. when
sOIIe yOung men wanted to open up
some beer they had secured from one
or the clubs and drink it with a
meal in the Zeiger restaurant. They
were politely but firmly informed by
the waiter that 1t was after $3.50 and
the place did not serve drinks at that
hour and did not permit anything Of
an Intoxicating nature to be opened on
the premises
AT first I thought that Pancho
Villa was going to take Juarez." said
c. T. Smith. 7 always had a good
opinion of Villa as fighter. but if he
does not take JuareZ at an early date,
he had better quit His rep win be
gone When he does take Juarez /
can tell him. he had better take a
chaser with it"
1.-THE time is coming" said A. 6.
AlbrO. when the crest of Mt Franklin !
viii present the greatest resort in the
world. A magnificent hotel will be on
the topmOst peak and summer lodges
viii be dotted here and there on the
nountainside- There viii be an incline
railway, running from the base of the
mountain to the top. No longer viii |
FL Pasoans have to chase here and
there looking for a cool spot in the
time. it will be almost at their
1Oors. Mt. Franklin is an ideal place I
1Or a resort and you will see the time
when it will be taken advantage OF
oy progressive capitalists, who will
n addition to making it one of the l
greatest resorts in the world, reap fl
lancial profits. This is not a new
dea. it has been thought of, but like
III propositions of this kind, it has
'een allowed to lay dormant until an
outsider sees it. and then you will
