AMMU N ITION AT COLUMBUS WAS
 LOCKED UP

The pro-preparedness army in Wash ington can find vast store of in- formation iii the aftermath of the Co lumbus battle on which to justify their persistent fight for greater army and navy. Heretofore it has been the custom of the United States to pooh pooh any and all ideas that there existed the least dota of danger in spies. This careless attitude has reaped its harvest of damaged prop erty and IS lives in the Villa raid.
 CreditabIe Getaway
 Daniel Webster still holds good, for murder will out'' in spite of the determined attempts on the part of the army to prevent it's doing so. It found it's outlet in the fact that poorly equipped little insignificant Mexican bandit was able to cross the United States border, entirely sur round the town of Columbus,in which were stationed 200 United States troops, and burn, kill, pillage and rob for one hour and half and tren make fairly creditable getaway. Naturally many aIibis are forthcom- ing Army men are in no instance ad- hitting that Villa was entirely sue cessful in his raid on the U. s. corral and neither do they admit, although the fact remains, that they are lack ing a a number of cavalry mounts which Villa was successful in getting across the border. No explanation is being made for the condition that made it possible for Villa to cross the border without being molested or an alarm being given by an outpost until he encountered the sentinel on duty 100 yards from the camp. An out post was established at the border gate two days ago. The raid was made four days past.
 Il Ammunition Locked Up.
 If an explanation was offered as to why the United States troops waited S long before returning the murder ous fire of the Villistas it would re- veal the fact that the ammunition as well as most of the guns was locked up and before the soldiers could get into action they found it necessary to break locks in order to get their fighting equipment. It is common in- formation that not command was given or a formation made for fully 30 minutes.
 At the most important stage of the battle a machine gun squad found it. self in a position to annihilate a solid line of tue Mexican raiders. The squad was posted at the edge of the town which gave. them absolute command of the situation The gun was train ed on the long solid line of bandits The MeXicans passed by unmolested, for the reason that after very few shots had been fired the gun damned. The alibi is that there is not a ma chine gun in the army that can be de pended on in crisis.
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1916-03-17

OddS-of a surprise attack of super iority in numbers, of locked up equip ment, impenetrable darkness, and the most important fact that Villa had ab- solute detailed information from spies within the town. The work of | his spies was so effective that the bandits were seeking out the inhabi- tants that were listed for death by their names.
 The brush southwest of the town hides many dead Mexican. The body of the Mexican, who was re- l sponsible for the death of Moore and i, his wife was found in the brush Sun day. He was shot through the heart. In his pockets was found $50 in U. s. currency and on his hand was the gold ring stripped from Moore's fingers. He was wearing Moore's clothing. IT
 | f Took Time To Dress | So secure were the bandits in the belief that they need expect no great fighting from the American soldiers that they. did not hesitate to stop in the stores they were footing and put ion new trousers and shoes. When the retreat was sounded they took all the plunder they could carry and made for the border. the U. S. troops in close and determined pursuit. Every time a bandit was wounded or killed they recovered some stolen plumber. There was a trail of dead Mexicans and stolen plumber for five miles beyond the boundary.
 AIn SO far as it is possible Colum bus is recovering it's equilibrium and there existsAunder the protection of more ltroops-no feeling that the town will be bothered again. Nervousness on the part of civilians is being allayed iby concerts each evening by the army bands. The damage to the town was considerable; every store front in the business district was smashed in ex Icept the bank where the soldiers got in their most effective work mad turn ed the bandits back.
 Not Without Humor
 The citizens of the town relate many humorous experiences Two meI sought protection by crawling undel the mattress of their bed. Another resident stood peeking through ths window blind and watched the Mexi cans enter his gate and come up oI the steps of his porch, where the. stood in consultation. Another bandi ran up to them with the remark tha "this is not the house-Mr. Lemon' is further down the street." One mal found it convenient to go up on tn, roof of his house when he saw tn bandits coming. They entered hi house, piled his clothing up in tn middle of the floor and set fire to it They then went outside and stacke' hay against the house again applyini the torch. As soon as they were gon he descended and put out the fir with buckets of water.
 Every glance is a reminder of tn outrage and the excitement of th
 people has given way to a stern desir for revenge.

IS DRAGGED FROM ARMS OF HIS
 BRIDE
How Walton Walker Was Killed at Columbus; Widows Uncle at Doua- las. --

Mrs. Walton Walker, wife of the man who was killed by the Villa bandits at Columbus, N. M, is a niece of w. C.. Munda, superintendent of Calvery cemetery, this city. She was a bride of only month when she became a,widow through the death of her husband, the marriage having taken place in Fl Paso a week ago yesterday.
 Following the wedding, the couple went to Columbus, where MT. Walker took position as guager for the gov ernment. When the Villa raiders en- tered the Central hotel they went up stairs, dragged Walker from hii wife's arms, told her they wanted him to shake hands with the captain downstairs and shot and killed him there. Mrs. Walker heard the shot and became frantic.
 Sse sa Set House Afire. | When the Villistas set the hotel afire she would have been burned in it had not two line riders, Jolly Gar ner and Ben Aguirre, ascended the building and let her down by means of bed sheets tied to her arms.
 The shock was so severe that the young woman became a nervous wreck and had to be placed in the temporary hospital of the government at Columbus. She was later sent to her home at Playas on the same train
 with the body of her dead husband. MT. Munda has just learned detailsof lthe shocking affair from arrivals from IColumbrs.

Soldiers Acted BraveIy.

The United States soldiers them selves were a credit to their country. Although being under fire was a new sensation to many of them they be- haved with the utmost coolness and courage. Once equipped and into ac. tion there was no doubt of the ulti- mate result. From reports based on their actions, courage and accuracy of fire, the belief exists that the 200 men in camp the night of the raid could have defeated an army of 1000 ban dits. They labored against enormous

UNWATERiNe CONGRESS MINE

CONGRESS = Engineers for the Merrill Metallurgical company of San Francisco are here to superintend the unwatering of the old workings at the Congress company gold mines, and it lis expected that the final examination of the property will be completed in the near future Tests made of samples Of ore taken from the old tailings dump are said to have been very satisfactory as to values carried, and if the mine is found to have as much low grade ore as is believed, the deal for the property will probab- | ly be closed. The Congress mine has several shafts, all connected by drift ing, the total length being over 10000 ! feet. It will take several weeks to unWater the workings.

STOP TRYING TO CROSS
AHEAD OF A TRAIN

We hope to see law passed in
our next legislature to erect Stop
500 feet boards set ON each side
of every railroad crossing of every
highway in Iowa, and making it a
criminal offence to disregard it.. An
engineer recently said:
you don't realize what a nervous
strain you are putting ON a man
in the cab,'' said a Southern Pacif-
lc locomotive engineer the other
day to an automobile driver, when
you dash up toward crossing just
ahead of his train. There he is in
cab and he knows that he cant stop
his engine. There you are in your
automobile speeding towards the
crossing just ahead. You probably
know that You are going to stop
just at the edge of the track and
look up and laugh at him. He
doesn't see the train, even. He
doesn't know but what you are GO
ing to dash across ahead of him.
Its a joke maybe to you. To him
1T is a few seconds of the most
intense agony. Why do you do it..
When you see train coming and
you know YOU can't make the eros
sing and don't even intend to try to
make it--why don't you slow down
and give the engineer the assurance
that his train is not to hurl you in
to eternity.-Ex

MYSTERIOUS DISEASE
BATTLES PHYSICIANS

Recently four children of County
Supervisor B. j. Black were strick-
en- with a mysterious disease that
baffled the skill of the physicians.
One little boy about five years
old grew worse, when death releas-
ed it's suffering and it was laid to
rest without a public funeral, in
Arlington Heights, Audubon.
Friday last two others died and
the fourth at the time was danger
ously i'll. The two were buried in
Arlington Heights and since their
funeral, the fourth, although still
dangerously sick shows sign of re-
covery. Mr.. and Mrs. Black had
a fine family of six children they
are now bereft of half of them
which is a sad bereavment.
The sympathy of Audubon Coun
ty is extended to Mr.. and Mrs. BLACK
in the saddest hour of their lives.

PREHISTORIC RELIC

Twelve feet below the surface in

Mr.. E. c. Wilson will mount the
