MEXICAN FEDERALS CROSS
TO THE AMERICAN SIDE

There were 25S armed men in the
band of alleged federal recruits who
escaped across the river at Ysleta 4
few days ago. with American troop
ers on their heels. according to j.
Todd McClamy. the rebel cattle agent
stationed at Ell Paso. Texas.
McClamy told reporters that he re-
ceived the first information three days
previous that crossings were to be
made at Ysleta at the Ell Paso smell
ter and at a point in New Mexico.
He succeeded in locating the Ysleta
contingent which he said ives recruit
ed and led by Sylvester and Rodrigo
Quevedos. two federal officers former
ly at the head OF troops at Casas
Grandes.
McClamy said that he notified Gen
eral Villa of the plot and confirmed
Villas statement made that he had
troops down the river waiting to re-
ceive the intruders.
It was current rumor in Juarez
that 30 OF them were killed. but this
could not beconfirmed. General villa.
having been up most OF the night,
was still in bed at noon and could
not be disturbed.
The American troops nj Ysleta
heard no shooting from the Mexican
side, although this does not prove that
there was none, as It might have
taken place two miles away.
The Americans spent the forenoon
beating up the stubby growth of the
vast flats which flank the river. seek
ing the trail of the Mexicans, but a.
noon General Scott had received no
important news OF their quest.
The horses which the Mericans
failed to run off are said to be priv.

HOtchkiSS Teams
Defeated Here

The boys and girls High school bas-
ketball teams of Hotchkiss were here
last Friday evening to try their luck
with the two Delta High school teams
and according to one of the visiting
youngsters, hhe girls team OF that
town had but little If any hope whit
ever of scoring a victory against Delta
girls bnt they did feel, that they had
a chance against the boys.
There was good attendance at
the opera house that evening and
though the games were strictly one
sided affairs all seemed to be deeply
interested in the play from start to
finish. The score in the the girls
game was SO to in favor of Delta
an in the other contest Delta boys
won by a record of 43 to ~. A
social dance was given as a conclud-
ing feature.
The Delta independent., 1914-02-20

Referring to the games played by
boys of Delta in Ouray recently the
Ouray Herald has this to say;
The Delta High school basketball
team, accompanied by their band,
drove up from Ridgway Saturday af-
ternoon, on account of the lateness OF
that evenings train. There was nine
in the party and were under the
guidance of Prof. w. A. Franks.
The game was one of the hottest
and closest contests ever witnessed
in this city and our boys played their
opponents off their feet during the
second half.
The first half went in favor Of
Delta, owing to their superb team
work and ability to keep the ball in
their territory. The score at the end
of this half was 21-S.
During the following fifteen min
utes of play. Ouray was after the ball
from the very start and whenever
the chance came. our boys threw bas-
kets very accurately. Much credit IS
given TO Albert Johns for his play
ing during this half as 1t was largely
due to his fighting qualities that Ou-
ray came so near wining the game
Leslie Bell and George Chilcott are
also deserving OF a good share of the
credit.
The final scoie was 27-26 in Delta's
favor. Our boys made IS points this
half to their opponents 6. Quite a
difference"
