Afraid to Act.

Colonia Juarez, Mexico, Feb. ID
Our little colony is weighed down with
grief and sorrow over the unfortunate
events of this week. On Monday
morning about three o'clock, Mr.. Geo.
E. Redd went out to his COW corral to
see what was going on, and found
three natives apparently milking a
COW, and he ordered them away and
one of them pulled his pistol and
threatened to shoot Redd; but just at
this moment Aldelbert Taylor, who
occupies part of Mr.. Redd's home,
came out with shotgun and after a
heated conversation all walked as far
as the house together, and the two
Colonists retired to rest again. In a
short time there was an uproar at the
barn, and squealing of pigs, and Mr..
Redd proposed going out again and
driving the disturbers away.
Mr.. Taylor objected, saying they
had doubtless armed themselves and
would probably shoot them down.
There had been a strike in the shoe
shop of which Mr.. Taylor was mana
ger, and the work was shut down, and
for this there seemed to be a grudge
against him, which was probably the
main cause of the trouble. Taylor,
therefore, advised his brother-in-law
to go to the house of Felipe Chaves,
prominent man here, and he did so;
but Felipe advised him to get the
policeman, a native living on the lot
adjoining Mr.. Redd. This he did, and
together they approached the barn in
the bright moonlight, and as they
reached it, the three men stepped from
behind the corner and gave them two
volleys, killing the policeman instantly
and SCATTERING the leg of Mr.. Redd,
from which he died that evening. One
of the three murderers is a young man
who has grown to manhood in this col
ony, and stepson of the policeman
who was killed. No doubt they mis-
took the policeman for Mr.. TAYLOR

Monday the Constitutionalists came
and carried off five Of our natives, one
being our President Camilo Acosta
and his son Florencio, for twenty
years residents of this colony, also
Victor Goethals, halfbreed, Auas-
tario Hjar and Luis Baldovino, and
next day they were executed; three of
them leaving widows, and the next
day two more were caught and exc
cuted, leaving families without their
head.

citizens the balance of the bad lot
have moved away.
While the Mexican on the average is
very good citizen and neighbor, our
colony has been the dumping ground
for this whole section of the country,
for here they lived in peace and had
no fear of punishment for their
crimes.
Owing to disturbed conditions we
have had no peace officers who dared
do anything, for first one party came
in, then the other;san officials were
afraid to act. Our president had told
the bad ones of his clique that soon
we would have to go, and they would

make up the lost time. The following
account of the wreck was told by one
of the passengers:
"The Conductor had just entered
the car taking up the tickets and had
just stopped in front of me to take my
ticket when Crash! and he came
plunging head foremost into my
stomach, he had just regained his up
right position again when another
crash came which sent him head long

second time, whats happening" and
then he made very rapid exit, /
suppose, because he didn't care to
have his Uranium investigate the
depths of any other fellows stomach"
But this is the ludicrous side OF the
matter. The facts are that there was
nobody injured and no damage done
except to the track Two cars, the
baggage car and the mail car, were
tipped over and two Locomotives de-
rallied but not upset.
The wrecker with a crew of about
rs men has been down there since
Saturday and they expect to have
everything in running order by
Thursday night.
Mr. and Mrs. Stare who are here
in connection with the California
land Company are building a small
house on the company's land just East
of the Depot. They expect to remain
here some time to aid in the devel.
lopment of that project.

those living in homes of absent col

order from the owner, saying the
owner must appear himself and settle
up many times, saying they would
collect fifteen dollars a month for
taking care of property, when mean
while they had lived n the furnished
homes and had everything produced
on trees and gardens, poultry, cows
and teams. Since the leading CRATER
is removed, many families left at once
without trying to collect their unjust
demands. Some now say the Nor

to the execution; but of this we are
happy to say the information came
from their own spies, and natives
who live here.

When childish cares assailed his heart
Her voice was always kind,
AS lovingly she took his part
And said: "There, never mind"
The boy who once had boyish cares
And wept Ger little woes
Now dabbles in the worlds affairs
And faces heartless foes.
But when the skies are dark today
He may rot run to find
Her comfort and to hear her say:
"Ah, well, dear, never mind"
The grieving boy had need Of cheer,
What of the man who frets
When he is crowded to the rear
Or plagued by vain regrets?
Relieved of care, she sleeps away,
The man remains behind,
And there is no one left to say:

Helps When you Need it

C. B. Wheeler is in town writing
health and accident insurance, and II
you read his advertisement in this
paper you will read plain state
ment of unvarnish truth. Women
are the most interested in this be-
cause it is for their protection in
times of trouble.
Almost every man and woman has
some foolish way of parting with
enought money each month to carry
health and accident insurance, and
when one considers the scores of
things that may happen to a person in
q year to cut, off their usefulness and
their income it is no wonder that
those who get in the habit of carry
ing insurance never like to let it run
out. You may be the one to suffer
loss tomorrow, and health or acct
dent policy would be like strong
arm for the weak.
Last summer, w. d. Gagon, cashier
in the Standrod Bank, had trouble
with a tooth that kept him in the
hospital for weeks with his salary cut
|off. He was carrying a policy, and
when he went back to work the COM
pany sent him check for $237.SO,
and 1t was just like finding that much
money.
1t doesn't cost much to carry
policy and 1t is a sensible provision
to make while you are we'll and
strong, for you may not always be so.

Germ, and turning went back along the
tree-shadowed path.
He followed glumly, gnawing his
lip, wanting to say he knew not what,
but wretchedly tongue-tied, noting
that the great white moth was still
waving its creamy wings on the dead
stump and wondering If she would
take the cape jessamines. He felt an
embarrassed relief when, passing the
roots where they lay, she stopped to
raise them.
Then all at once the blood seemed
to shrink from his heart. With a
hoarse cry he leaped toward her,
seized her wrist and roughly dragged
her back, feeling as he did so, sharp
fiery sting on his instep. The next
moment, with clenched teeth, he was
viciously stamping his heel again and
again, driving into the soft earth

slapped the brown wintered leaves in
to a kissing turmoil.
He had flung her from him with

cinct to be organized to be known
as Springfield, Sterling having alb
sorbed the old precinct known as
Tilden. The line of division asked
for leaves Landon Rich and Harry
Hamilton in the new precinct and
Rices in the old one. Ralph Davis,
H. X. Wiley and G. A. Line in the
new precinct.
The committee stated that there
are 1875 voters for the new precinct
and rs for Sterling, besides many
new settlers just getting settled in
both precincts. There was petition
for the new precinct and a protest
against it. Commissioner Kennedy
said 1t cost an average og 800 per
precinct to hold~the elections, and
the petitioners said 1t was greater
loss Of time for their people to travel
the extra distrance to vote at the
primary and again at the election.
1t was suggested that Sterling ships
more freight than any other town on
the line. The committee said the
Springfield billing was all marked
Sterling or Pingree because those
places have the depots and agents.
That Springfield furnishes the freight
and the other towns receive the
credit. That Sterling is the best
commercial center on the Aberdeen
branch, but the Springfield people
still want to vote in their own
country. The precinct was allowed
just as petitioned for according to
the map accompanying the petition.
