Ell Paso, Tex, Sept. 17.-Bandits
operating along the Mexican North
western railroad have threatened the
lives Of all foreigners, particularly

on by Villa soldiers when they went
to receive the ransom demanded for
Edward Ledwidge, commissary agent
for the railroad and other companies
of the Pearson interests.
Only half Of the $4,000 ransom de-
manded had been delivered to the
bandit when he fled amid hail Of
bullets. Ledwidge was fired upon by
his Mexican guard but reached the
train Of rescuers unharmed.
AS result Of this incident 1t is
understood special train is touring
the line and employees are being urged
to leave the country.
An account Of Ledwidges rescue
reached here today, stating that the
train carrying few Americans with
the $4,000 ransom money, was filled
with Villa soldiers. A squad Of the best
marksmen were sent on a detour to
a point on the trail over which the ban
dts must come to receive the ransom.
A guard marched Ledwidge into view
and followed within good rifle shot.
The bandit who was to receive the rom
som money rode to the train. The villa
soldiers then opened fire.

This roped arena in Havana, which
will be the scene Of the Jess Willard
Jack Johnson fight on April 5, stands
a fair chance of becoming historic in
the pugilistic world as the spot where
the championship crown was taken
away from the black race and placed
upon the brow of a white man. Ger
tainly no white fighter has ever been
offered a better opportunity to win
back the heavyweight championship
of the world than that offered to Will

lard. never fast, is big and powerful,
a well trained athlete.
Johnson's danger lies in his waist
line. Insurance companies consider
as a bad risk any man whose waist
line measures more than his chest.
And that was Johnson's condition
when he started training to meet Will

weighed 258 pounds. with the scrap
only three weeks off. 1t required
forty-three inches of tape to circle
Jacks "tummy" and forty-one to get

supplying enough defense men for the
