WHERE is PERSHINC?
General May Be Leading Third Force
Across Near Hachita, n. NJ.

Ell Paso, March 16.-The mystery of
General Pershing's whereabouts today
increased when it was reported that
he was in personal command of a
third column reported to have entered
Mexico to the south of Hachita.
Pershing accompanied the Columbus
forces to the border yesterday, it was
reported, but turned back again to

hidden by the strictest censorship in
the country's history.
While reports of troop rebellions in
Carranzista garrisons near the border
continued to be received, General
Gavira, commander in Juarez. an
nounced today that all Carranzista
troops in the CaSaS Grandes and
Galeana districts had been ordered to
cooperate with the American expe-
dition. Gavira stated that the SER
vices of Carranzista soldiers would be
utilized by United States forces as
scouts and guards.
Mex Didn't Join Pershing.
Gavira dispatched an official no
tice to the Carranza garrisons that the
American expedition was not hostile
to the defacto government but was
merely to round up the Villa bandits.
1t was stated at the headquarters of
Gen. Gavira, Carranza commander at
Juarez today that no information has
been received of any Carranza troops
having Joined the American expedi-
ton.
Gen. Bertani who was reported to
have Joined General Pershing arrived
here last night with Is men from

While Olaf Johnson of Over
ly was returning to Landa with
his daughter-in-law and her
children Monday, he was un-
fortunate to meet with an &C.
cident at the Gorder corner just
south of town. He was not
familiar with the road and
when trying to turn the corner
was going at too fast a speed
to make a successful turn:
Knowing this he put his
breaks on which were not in
working order and being IN
able to stop the car steered it
into a fence post. The occu-
pants were badly shaken up and
one little boy fell up against
the back seat and crushed his
nose. The little fellow was at
once taken to Bottineau where
he received medical attention,
after which they were taken to
Landa. They were fortunate
to suffer no more serious mis-
hap.
