POTOSI COMPANY STORE AND

The store and office OF the Potosi
Mining company. two miles west Of
Chihuahua city, was robbed by six
armed men on Thursday night. March

". J. Quigley. the manager in FL Paso.
Mr.. Quigley stated that the robbery did
not exceed $1,000 and that there was
no sacrifice of the lives of any of the
men employed there.
The store and shop are within al
most hailing distance of chihuahua
and the thieves are thought to have
probably gone from that city.
The Santa Eulalia mining district is
a few miles east Of Chihuahua and

MORE TRUCKS

employee of the quartermaster depart

flock of trucks long TO grind the road

This man has Just returned from
driving a truck back and forth between
Columbus and the base at Casas
Grandes- for a short rest I'm FL Paso.
Continuing, he said:
Engineers Improve Roads.
The engineers are improving the
road considerably, however. as they
have already removed long stretches OF
it to higher ground, along the sides of
mountains. out of the dust In another
month. if this method of transportation
is continued, the road from Columbus
to Casas Grandes will be in good shape.
as all stretches through sand will be
removed to higher ground, where only
heavy rains will affect conditions. The
heavy rains would only interfere while
they were falling by making the roads
slippery and dangerous. as the water
would soon run off after the rain
stopped falling II the American army
is still in Mexico in June and July when
the rainy season sets in, something will
have to be done to relieve the truck
trains however. for the country Will
then be impossible.

such as beef hogs, chickens eggs and
vegetables. but the supply Of every
thing but beef is running out.
Cavalry Has Little to Eat.
we are told that the cavalry in pur-
suit OF villa is so far away from the
base that it is subsisting entirely off
the country. killing fresh beef for meat
and feeding the horses off the grass
and hay that can be secured in the lit
tie valleys through which the troops
pass. The men are living off the army
hard biscuits. which they carry with
them. together with little coffee and
the fresh meat they can kill.
Shortage OF Provisions.
There is such a shortage OF pro-
visions that the infantry regiments
have had to send their wagon trains
back TO the border for additional cloth
ing. bedding and food. tt took four
days to come up from Casas Grandes
and will take us four days at best to
get back. These wagon trains are sup
posed to stay with a regiment for its
ms n nf
plies needed in camp, but we had TO
bring them back to the border or starve
and freeze.
Men Suffer From Cold.
''None of our men had Oyercoats and
few had more than a pair of blankets
when it showed Friday. Our wagons
came out with practically no guard and
will go back that way. although we are
carrying a considerable quantity Of am
muniuon as well as clothing and food.
while there is great scarcity of
eatables. the increasing truck trans
portation facilities have a marked
tendency to alleviate the present suf-
fering OF troops. The troops, taken as
a body, can most assuredly be called con-
tented. but I rather hesitate in saying
'contented.' in the fullest extent Of the
word
