FACING DEATH TO Q.
THRILLING Ill. NJ DAYS
American Press Association
Man With Villa Took Life
In His Hands.
BY JAMES WARE,


[Mr. Ware, a photographer Of the Amer
lean Press Association, accompanied Cen
eral Villas rebel army in Mexico from
Saltillo In a preceding article he devoted
himself to the rebel chief, and now he
relates various experiences. incidents and
impressions.]
IT'S all very we'll to laugh about
It when you get back, but when
you are some fifteen hundred
miles in the interior of country
like Mexico and there's trouble and
danger on every side you are not
much in the humor. I know I was
not. To be quite candid, the thought
uppermost in my mind every night
when I went to bed" was, ''Will I
wake up to be tortured to death or will
wake up at all?" And there was
very good reason for these gloomy ap-
prehensions. Here was I, a lone Ameri-
can. with Villas army far away from
any zone Of protection and without
news Of the outside world. Suppose
word arrived that the American SOL
diers were advancing from Vera Cruz.
Imagine what would happen to me! I
knew 1t would be all off in such an
event-I'd never see the white lights
of Broadway again. My one consola-
ton was the knowledge that I was
reasonably safe barring untoward de-
velopments, as my government was
favor1ng the cause of the Constitu-
uonalists.
1 say reasonably safe advisedly, for
during my stay in the turbulent re-
public the fact that 1t explained my
real status was brought home to me

ton was called to this he asked Why.
the bodies had not been burned. he
was told there was no oil available
for the purpose. He saw that it was
supplied forthwith. and then it was
that the incident to which have re-
ferred occurred. 5&#
At the lighting Of the first torch
one of the ''corpses," a wounded fed
eral soldier. rose up among the dead in
silent protest. He had been hiding
among the bodies in the hope Of escap-
ing u1%1er cover Of night suspect
he was turned over to the mercy off,
Ger, that kindly individual whose func-
ton it is to dispose of the suffering.
After ten days in this place of hor-
rors the split came between Villa and
Carranza, and Villa ordered his entire
army to return to Torreon
On Colonel Fierro's Train.
Coming home, after we arrived at
Torreon following the fight at Zacate-
cas-, we found no trains were leaving
for the border. There had been cloud
bursts, and the roads had been washed
out for eighteen days. After camping
in the railroad yard for four days I
noticed freight train was being made
up to carry Colonel Fierro, the man
said to have killed Benton, the English
man, and who had been wounded at
Zacatecas. This train was bound for
Juarez. I got aboard without permits
sion, as wanted to beat my rivals to
the border with my pictures. This I
did, arriving forty eight hours before
they appeared. En- route at o'clock
the first night Colonel Fierro left his
train at Santa Rosalia, despite his
wound, painful one in the thigh,
to visit friends. He did not return
until 2 p. m. the following day, and
in the meantime we almost starved
Fierro speaks English, and when
we were within $50 miles of the
border he said to me, pointing west
to the mountains. "There's where my
gold mines are; guess I'll stop the
train and have a look at them" Suf-
fering though he was. he rode his
horse the distance, five miles at least.
That's the Mexican Of it; they won't
give in even when they're dying.

CARLOAD OF DEAD SOLDIERS IN WHICH

tionalists captured Paredon and why
the federals evacuated Saltllo. When
Villas scouts were marching on to
Saltillo the federals met them at Pare
don, fifteen miles south, with one of
their heaviest armies in that vicinity
After the attack Villa discovered that
he was outnumbered by thousands
and foresaw defeat unless he could re-
sort to masterful measures. After the
fight had progressed an hour or two he
summoned seventy-fve Of his mounted
soldiers and ordered them to cut down
goodly quantity of mesquite trees,
ordered tied to the horses and started
his men riding through desert vantage
points. The purpose of this was to
create the impression in the federal
ranks by raising great clouds Of dust
that he was being heavily REINFORCED,
and in this he was highly successful.
Outw1tted and apprehensive, the fed
erals thereupon retreated to Saltillo
and reported the coming Of Villas
troops with re-enforcements In their
haste to evacuate the city they had no
time to set off mines to accomplish its
destruction, as had been their purpose
But they did burn the large Casino. the
finest in Mexico.
The result Of this clever plan of the
resourceful Villa was that his forces
walked unmolested into Saltillo, and
the rebel commander split his sides
laughing over the success Of his ruse.
Ate by His Wit.
At Torreon had an amusing expert
ence in satisfying the wants Of the in
ner man. l was unable to make the
Mexican waiter understand by word Of
mouth what l wished to eat, so I re-
sorted to my pencil and drew picture
Of hen laying an egg and another pic
ture of hog. He laughed heartily
and understood that wanted ham and
eggs. When these were set before me
they were about as big as a silver dol
lar and cost me 60 cents American
money.
On my first trip to Zacatecas, before
the bloodiest battle of the revolution,
had a spectacular ride on a handcar
to my destination. This handcar was
propelled by four poems who had been
directed by General Villa to take me
wherever I wished to go. We started
out at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. riding
all night through mountains infested
with wild animals and all the next
day. The handcar had an acetylene
lamp for headlight, and frequently
during the slow and tiresome journey
l would espy the blazing green eyes
Of wildcat or the great red eyes Of
wolf as the beast crouched on the
tracks directly in our path, fascinated
by the glare Of the light. More than
once thought we should hit one OF
the animals, but they always scamper-
ed off into the blackness Of the night
Just in time to avoid being run down.
l did some great shooting that night,
and from yelps that followed my shots
many of them took effect.
