The final meeting between General
Scott, a rugged veteran Of the Indian
wars, and villa, ex-bandlt and rebel
chief, was held today in the historic
customs house at Juarez. In the
same structure the presidents Of
Mexico and the United states--Taft
and Di9z-had met in friendly fash
ion, just prior to the outbreak of the
Madero revolution, more than four
years ago After the conclusion of
the diplomatic negotiations, both
Scott and villa attended the Juarez
race track. Villa is expected to re-
turn soon to the south to direct per-
sonally the campaign against the Car
rama forces in the east. Scott Will
return to Washington, perhaps after
a brief visit to Naco, where he first
was sent on his mission of stopping
the border danger
The Maytorena-Hll agreement,
which has already been signed by the
Carranza leader and which Villa
promises Maytorena will agree to, In
effect follows:
The port of Naco, Sonora, should
be evacuated by the forces under
General Hill. Governor Maytorena
and General Hill both promise not to
occupy the port which shall remain
neutral territory, and closed to com
merce until some constitutional gov
ernment is established in Mexico and
recognized by the United States or un-
til one Of the contending factions in
Sonora utterly dominate the other
The port of Nogales, held by Mayto-
rena, and the port of Aqua Prieta,
held by Hill, shall not be attacked for
any reason whatsoever
THE troops under Maytorena shall
retire to Cananea, below the border,
or Nogales, and shall not modest in
the least the movement of the Hill
forces from Naco to Aqua Prieta."
This last clause had met with the
greatest opposition by the Maytorena
faction. Naco is located between No
gales and Aqua Prieta.
General villa announced through
the Associated Press that he will well
come the return to Mexico of all for
mer federal regular army officers,
many of whom are reported In des-
titute state in the United States and
other foreign countries lie also is
sued a statement claiming a decisive
victory against the Carranza troops

Another Triumph Gained by

Settlement of Difficulty,

El Paso, Tex, Jan. 9.-General
villa today gave his word that he
would prevent further border fight
ing. which since the Madero revolu-
ton in 1911 has been a menace to
residents of American border towns.
The Mexican leader promised the
American chief of staff that he would
order Governor Maytorena to sign an
agreement which had been drafted by
General Scott at Naco which would
prevent A recurrence of the fighting
there which during the last two
months has caused the wounding and
killing of more than fifty persons on
the American side. General Hill,
commander of the Carranza garrison
defending Naco, Sonora, already has
signed the agreement
The eight thousand Villa troops
passing through Juarez on their way
to Sonora will be sent, General villa
said, to Guaymas, on the California
gulf, and rot to participate in fighting
along the border.
Acute situation Relieved.
The agreement secured by General
Scott from General villa was under
stood To have averted a condition re-
garded as highly critical by the Wash
ington government. and which had
been the subject Of strong representa-
tlons to the government of Mexico
City. headed by President Gutierrez.
The stand of the american admlnis-
ration apparently had been chal-
lenged by the movement of Nilla
troops into Sonora. All this was ad-
iusted, according to official express
sions. by Villas agreement to force
Maytorena to sign the neutrality
agreement and by the statement that
the 5000 troops would be sent to the
California gulf or Pacific coast and
not to the Arizona border.
However, it was said to be villas $

has a similar request from the villa
side TO move men through American

JUDGMENT RENDERED
AGAINST THOMPSON
Circuit Court Says Former
Official Is Due The County
A Sum Of $2,653.18.

Circuit Judge j. B. Baker cOnven-
ed a special term of circuit court
here last Friday for the purpose of
taking further action in the matter
of the shortage with the county
funds alleged against j. W. Thomp-
son, former county treasurer.
The report of Jas M. Simpson,
who at the appointment of Judge
Baker had made an audit of the
accounts of Mr.. Thompson as they
appear upon the public records,
was read to the court. Mr.. Simp-
sons report was to the effect that
Mr.. Thompson is now due the coun-
ty a total of $2,711,40, of which
amount $2,57713 belongs to the
school fund and $13427 to the road
fund. This report placed the
shortage at a figure $8712 less than
the report of the commissioners of
accounts.
D. L. King, attorney for the coun-
ty, asked that the report of Mr..
Simpson be approved by the court,
and to this objection was made by
attorneys for Mr.. Thompson, Messrs.
T. |. Herrn and W. T. Gray, who Of
fered the contention that the court
had no jurisdiction to try the case.
This contention was overruled by
Judge Baker.
The judgment of the court as
handed down was that Mr.. Thomp-
son is due the county total of
$2,65318, the only difference in the
judgment as rendered by the court
and the report of Mr.. Simpson be-
ing that Judge Baker allowed a
credit of $58.22 as commission on
road funds to the former treasurer,
which the report of Mr.. Simpson
did not do This credit reduces the
amount of shortage in the road
fund to $7605.
Attorneys for Mr.. Thompson ask
ed an appeal to the supreme cosrt,
which was granted, and attorneys
for the former official were allowed
80 days in which to prepare for this
appeal.
