wilson, who was killed near the ice
house east of the town. was not alone.
with MIN was r. l.. Carlin, for nike
years a member of company X, and who
probably was the only person TO see the
beginning of the massacre and to wit

with his left eye burned by powder from
a Nlllista gun, Carlin told this story.
we We're waiting for the train ana

heard the voices of MeXicans. The ice
mouse where we were is east of the 18th
cavalry camp and it is not customary
TO hear voices at 4 o'clock in the morn

IN the moonlight saw three MeXicans

Carlin produced a packet of papers
that had been taken from Davidson, and
found on the dead Mexican. He said
that il he had had a gun lie would have
given the Mexicans fight back. but
that everything was against him: In
the close encounter at the ice house
Carlin was powder burned about the
left eye by a blast from one OF the
Mausers, while his hat was pierced by
a bullet as he ran.

two Mexicans after he was wounded.

massacred the entire garrison.
AN odd thing about the Mexicans
who were wounded" said Carlin, was
their hatred They fought off the
Americans who attempted to care for
them at the place where they were car
ried for treatment. and some OF them
said they would rather be shot than be
touched by the 'gringOes'"

THINKS CHILD
ESCAPED ALONE
Mrs. Wright Learns in Ell
Paso That Baby, Taken
By Villa, is Safe.

After riding horseback for several
hundred miles, prisoner o. II dHcisSo
Villa. Mrs Maud Hawks wright the
woman whose husband was carried OF
to be shot bv Villa bandits at Pacheco,
and whose little boy, John EDWARDS
was given away to a Mexican woman,
learned i'm FL PasO that her son is
safe and that as soon as IS possible
viii be restored to her.
Mrs Wright was so harassed by
her own miseries and dIscomlorts IN
the forced march to the border by
Villa and his men, that she uau no
time for grief; but once within the
lines of American protection at Column
bus. the hope revived within her that
perhaps her husband and son had not
been killed by the bandits after all

1T was while i'm her room at the

at Learning this No one can know
what terrible suffering l have endured

that the NeXicans, brutal as they can

There is a question I'm my mlnu'
however whether or not little John
Edwards did not make his own way
to Pearson. instead of being carried
there by the bandits. We frequently
went to Pearson for our supplies ana
the boy knew the country like book
He was bright enough and quick
enough to realize that after my hus-
band and I were captured there would
be little chance for him, and no doubt
he got away before the bandits had a
chance to do anything.
ION the other hand, his nurse. who
had a peculiar loyalty to the child, may
have hidden him until the bandits were
gone. or pleaded for his life. There are
so many probabilities. I do not know
that any of them are correct But it's
wonderful to know that he is alive

suited in a firmer wheat market to-
day and prices soon after the opening
were ! cent higher than yesterdays
close. July was quoted at Lila; Sep
TENDER at 1.13A and December at
116. Corn opened sharply lower on
reports Of rain but met with heavy
buying orders with the result that
there was rally of 9s cents. Better
weather reports resulted in many Of
ferings Of oats with the result that
the prices remained at about yes
terday's close. The market was gen.
orally weak. Provisions were slow
and easy at the start.
There was a big and broad wheat
market with advances of 2Mc to SIC
for the day, and closings were at the
best prices for the near by, while the
preferred futures eased off from the
highest prices The confirmation OF
damages by black rust in the spring
wheat country caused heavy buying by
some Of the large concerns, while the
selling was cautious and confined to
those having profits. Corn closed sc
to asc higher to unchanged, and oats
were NC to &c higher. Cash Gales
Of corn were 10000 bushels, and oats
$4,000 bushels. Pork showed fair
advance, while lard and ribs were
lower.

WILD VILLISTAS CLOSE
UPON CHIHUAHUA CITY

City's residents were not Villistas and
ready to make trouble from the inside
with the approach of their chosen
leader.
So swift has been the progress OF
his fighting men that Villa himself is
said to have come from his headquar-
tiers on the Rio Florida bottoms to
lead the attack on Chihuahua City.
He threatened to do this in his latest
communication to Gen. Trevino. At
that time he also warned Trevino that
he would sack the city and execute all
Carranza officers.
That Villa is with the foremost OF
his troops was reported by the wound
ed Carranzistas struggling back, from
Palomas where Martin Lopez led a
Villistas band in an attack on a Car
ranzistas troop train. Martin Lopez
is a brother OF Pablo Lopez, Villistas
chief villain at Santa Ysabel and Co
lum bus. Pablo recently was executed
in Chihuahua and Martin, it is be-
lieved, will be given the honor of lead
ing the Villista outfit into the city
where his brother died.
Demand Troops Removal.
IL the face of the Viilistas uncheck.
ed advance, the border hears of re.
newed demands of Don Venustiano
Carranza that the Pershing expedition
be withdrawn.
Militiamen continue to arrive in Ell
Paso district and before the mobiliza.
ton ends, it is reported that 10000 of
them will be encamped here.
From the Sonora end of the border
came fresh reports of the activities OF
the Yaqui raiders. Gen. Gales is un-
derstood to have failed to suppress the
Indian warriors.

CITY WOULD SELL
OLD LIGHT PLANT

Mayor Robbins said today that up

of the Light, Heat & Power company.
He added that the city had this prop
erty on the market and would be
pleased to receive such offers at any
time.
"The city has no use for the build
ing and it would make splendid 80
cation for some manufacturing con-
cern," the mayor said.
Old equipment at the plant wh:cn
the city had no use for is being rapid
ly disposed Of. Two large boilers have
just been sold for $500
