HAS UNIQUE SOUVENIR
or THE WAR SITUATION

T. II. Page. manager of the Peo-
pies Drug store. on Saturday morning
received "a very unique souvenir of the
present war situation in the form Of
a field sChrapnel. which is used by the
United States soldiers in the war dis
tricts of the southwest.
The souvenir is attracting consider
able attention. because of its peculiar
design. The shell is used in a light
field gun and contains 552 shots which
III the explosion of the shell scatter in
a cone shape form covering several
square yards. These shells are on of
the most dangerous factors in modern
field battle warfare. as several men
can be killed by one explosion. Each
shell has a dial by which its eXplO-
sion can be timed by the seconds.
To fire one shot ii requires the ser
vices Of five men so seconds. and costs
.$24.
The shell was placed in the window
Of the drug store Saturday afternoon
for exhibition.

KILL GRINGOES' IS
CRY IN THE NORTH
DECLARE REFUGEES

Ell PASO.. Texas, April 25.-Plac-
ards calling for death to Americans
are being circulated throughout north
ern Mexico, according to refugees who
arrived at Juarez from the interior
early today. The train that reached
the Mexican town carried one hum
dred and nine Americans and within
short time the majority had walked
over the international bridge at Ell
PasO.
Ninety-seven of the refugees came
from MADEIRA and the other tN elVe
from scattering points. Many were in
a state of collapse and decided 10 wait
in the cars for daylight rather than
walk TO FL Paso. No street cars are
allowed to cross the bridge during the
night.
When the train passed through Villa
Ahumada, il was surrounded by mop
Of Mexicans, many of them soldiers,
who shouted, Kill the Grlngoes' Inc
flight of the refugees was uneventful
otherwise, but some declared that they
had been insulted on the streets of
Chihuahua.
Among the passengers was Mrs.
Marion Letcher. wife of the United
States consul at Chihuahua, and her
three children.
WITHIN the last FOUR Gays l,-VV
American refugees have reached the
border here and at other points. With

w. w. Grub, of New York, who was
among the refugees arriving from Ma
dera said that all industrious Next
cans regretted the departure of the
Americans and were opposed to any
conflict with this country. When they
left MADEIRA Wednesday. he said. Mex
lean laborers in the mills there plead
ed with tears for the Americans TO re-
turn.
They realize that they are likely TO
starve if we shut down all our plants,
Mr.. Grub explained. They are not
able to get a living wage from anyone
but Americans"
The story told by DR.. Harmon Cole,
who arrived from TOrreon. was in
marked contrast with that of other
passengers.
Peace reigns over all of Chihuahua
and Coahuila." he said. americans
are treated with the greatest respect.
Soldiers have been warned by their Off
GERS that any outbreak against citi-
zens Of the United States will be pun

HELP REFUGEES
FROM BURNED CITY

LAREDO, Texas. April 25.-Five
Mexican federal soldiers were killed
and at least a dozen wounded by
American soldiers when the United
States troops returned the volleys fred
by Huerta's men as they evacuated
NueVO Laredo Yesterday afternoon af-
ter firing the town and blowing up the
municipal building and customs house.
This news was brought here today
by fugitiveS from the Mexican town
who waded and swan the Rio Grande
and appealed 10 Americans for shell
ter.
Nuevo Laredo was only a smoking
heap of ruins when dawn came today
Most of the buildings there, with the
exception Of adope structures outside
of the business section of the town,
were destroyed by the flames. Fully
$500 are homeless and they are COM
ing to the American side in drOves as
fast as the United States patrol on
the border will pass them over the
bridge, which the federals tried TO
blow up before thew departed.
Until the arrival of the fugitiveS this
morning it was supposed that only
two Mexicans had been killed by the
American bullets. but the refugees
said that the bodies of three others
had been carried aboard the train on
which the federals left.
Furnish shelter to MeXicans.
The American military authorities
and municipal officials of Laredo have
united in furnishing shelter to the
hundreds of Mexicans who came into
this city. All would have gone hungry
but for the food given them by the
soldiers and citizens. No further
trouble is expected at this point The
federals are believed to be on their
way to SaltillO. Nevertheless a double
guard will be kept on duty night and
day at the international bridge. La
redo is one of the points at which
American troops will enter Mexico if
il is invaded from the north and the
destruction of the bridge will hamper
the troops movements.
