MANY WARS. KNOWN
TO CANON FOLKS, IS
EXECUTED IN MEXICO


A few days ago the press despatch.
es mentioned briefly that General C.
H. N. Agramonte had been taken
out of the City OF Mexico and shot on
some trumped-up charges. age IS or
So years.
About eighteen years ago Fred H.
whipple and the writer made little
trip thru Old Mexico. was down
there two months and spent the
time in some interesting parts Of the
old republic.
On our way down. somewhere in New
Mexico: some Mexicans got on our
train and were with US all the way
to the City OF Mexico. One was a
distinguished old man OF military bear
ing who would have attracted atten-
ton in any capital in Europe. This
gentleman was the same General
tAgramonte who was executed the
other day.
We became very well acquainted
with the general and found him to be
character worth knowing. full OF
rich experiences OF adventure. He
was then an old man. but deeply dis
appointed that the United States had
not accepted his services in the late
war in Cuba.
Gen Agramonte was born in Cuba
In 1881. In the 40's he was sent to
France TO a military school. He fought
in the Crimean war and then return
ed TO Cuba When our Civil war
broke out he offered his services to
President Lincoln and fought all
thru that war.
He has been identified with several
wars in Mexico in the past so years.
always on the side OF liberty.
In 1877 oen- Agramonte happened
TO be in Chicago when the labor riots
broke out. He was Immediately put
in command OF large force and did
much to suppress these riots which
were some riots for their day.
Wherever war was, there you could
ind this old war horse in the front
ranks.
The story of his life reads like fic-
tion--few men ever saw so much
active service in so many wars.
When Huerta took the dictatorship
OF Mexico he arrested General Agra
monte and put him in jail because OF
his activity in helping organize the
foreign population for protection.
Huerta might we'll have feared the in
iuence Of q liberty loving old patriot
and warrior like Gen. Agramonte.
Since Huerta threw him in jail we
have had no news OF Gen. Agramoute
until that Of his execution the other
day.
Gen. Agamonte was a lawyer and
had been instrumental in building
several large smelters in the western
part Of the U. s. and In Mexico.
When We knew him 1 nthe City Of
Mexico he was publisher OF a news
paper. the Anglo-American. a paper
Of large influence In Mexico.
