SANDY robson -.
DIES IN CALF,

Alfred S. Robson, better known to
the old timers here and along the
Northern Pacific as "Sandy," died at
his home neal Burbank, California,
Sunday, November LIST. Particulars
are lacking, but it is known that de-
ceased was suffering from throat
trouble and lumbago during the sum-
mer.
Alfred Summerville Robson was
born in Griggsville, Missouri, and
was between ffty-five and sixty years
old at his death. About 1880 he ar
rived in Mandan and worked in the
round house, later becoming a fire.
man and subsequently an engineer.
In 1882 he married Miss Frederick
Eyer, oldest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
l.. Eyer of this city. Two children
were born to them, a daughter, Belle,
who is now Mrs. Luttge, living lei
Burbank, and a son, Earl, who is at
home and has been interested with
his father in the fruit raising bust
ness.
From Mandan MI. and Mrs. Rob-
ison moved to Glendive and about
1883 they moved to Dickinson.
Shortly after coming here he became
associated with Jack Williams in the
stock raising business, locating on a
ranch on Knife river near the present
site of Manning. In the nineties he
sold out his interest to Mr.. Williams
and moved to California, going first
to Los Angeles and later to Burbank,
where he purchased a fruit farm.
Besides the wife and children, de-
ceased leaves to mourn his loss two
sister and two brothers. James Rob-
ison, a former well known rancher in
this vicinity, resides in Canada,
while John Robson makes his home
in Missouri.
A. S. Robson was a member of
the Masonic. order here in the early
days. He was a large jovial sort of
a fellow and was we'll liked, es-
pecially among the railroad boys.

Many of the women did not know
what had become of their husbands
and brothers and had no way of flnd-
ing out. The cheapness of life in Mex
leo is appalling, and relatives of SOL
diers killed in battle never seem to
learn anything about even the dispo-
sition of the bodies of their loved
ones. The women have come to take
these things as the fortune of war
and bear their sorrow with a stoicism
which the American woman cannot
understand.

Now that the quarantine has been

gone. Several of the Mexican Off
GERS wives have taken up a residence
in El Paso and may come out to the

a week donations of wearing apparel

Axton is an interchangeable worker. and
he did not rest until he saw that every
woman and child in camp had warm
clothing. Whenever money was sent
he used 1t to buy milk and eggs for
the children, with the result that the
poor little emaciated creatures who
came over from Mexico are now as
sturdy and strong as the typical
American child. Huerta has from

army tents were set up to house the
refugees. A barbed wire fence thir-
teen feet in height encloses the camp.
During the first few days the number
of refugees Increased and the sentrfes
were at a loss to know just how they
had obtained entrance to the camp.
1t was finally discovered that they had
rolled under the fence during the
than pne hundred rolling

then decided to charge the fence with
electricity, which bit once put a stop
to intruders. The entire camp Is

the command of Colonel Frederick
Perkins.
Brought Smallpox.
The refugees brought smallpox
with them, and almost before the camp
hospital was in working order one
man died of the disease. The sur
geons at once saw the danger of an
epidemic and set shout to avert It by
vaccinating everybody in camp and
putting on a quarantine which has
only recently been lifted. During this
quarantine the writer was one Of the
few persons allowed to visit the refu-
gees. While the vaccination scars
were still fresh the refugees were com

Historic Dublin Castle, built by King

q. S. Feeds Well.
1t must not be understood, however,
that the refugees lacked food, for
such is not the case, as every morn
ing a plentiful supply is given out by
Captain B. P. Nicklin. the good-na-
tured commissary officer of the camp.
These rations consist Of -four, bread,
rice, bacon. beef. sugar. coffee. Mexi-
can beans. pepper and salt. Many of
the refugees prefer to do their own
cooking as the tortillas (shortcake
minus the shortening) are more to
their taste than American bread. The

only the other day he went to Cen
eral Hugh Scott, the Commander at
Fort Bliss. with a long story of
threatened assassination by his own
men. General Castro, who was the
Governor General at Juarez under the
Federals, is of an entirely different
stamp, and is one Of the hardest work
ers as well as the most popular man
in camp. When the clothing arrived
for the soldiers General Castro took
full charge of the distribution, while
General Mercado sulked in his tent
in the hope that he might be released.
Recently he got out a writ of habeas
corpus, but as proceedings of the
same character have been denied by
the California courts to the men in
termed at Fort Rosencranz, Califor-
mia, It is not likely that the Texas
judiciary will have anything to do
with the matter. Wild stories of the
refugees, attempting to tunnel out
came to General Scott recently. and
he at once caused the ground of each
tent to be examined but no evidence
of tunnel could be found.
