sidered, Havana and Juarez. The people
Of the Mexican town are wild over tho

don't want a cent out of II. There have
been ridiculous stories sent out that

terest they don't know villa
"Juarez Is the natural place. It's easy
to reach We can draw on San Fran
cisco. Los Angeles Kansas City. Okla
homa, New Orleans and dozens OF small =
places Besides that the Southwestern
cattleman's Association, 5000 or 5000
mon strong, holds its convention In
Juarez during fight week. We will make

they will want Juarez as he battle
ground"
Jess willard and Tom Jones got into
town last night also. The lanky Kansas
heavy will do a little moving picture pos
ing and then he Will hike OF to some quiet
spot to begin TO condition himself for the
battle OF his life.

down In the country and will be ready to
meet all corners after January ID. We
