On Thursday night the life of our we'll known
townsman and merchant Mr.. H.. A. Pretto
was threatened by q man by the name Of
Prince Ford OF Est. Little Princess. From
what we learn, it appears that a friend OF
this man had bought q bottle of rum from
Mr.. Pretto's rumshop and for some reason
or other complained to Prince that the rum
was not good. Prince at once took over
the affair and stood outside Mr.. Pretto's
establishment abusing him. Policeman Fran
cis came on The scene and instantly drove
him of, but he soon returned again and kept
up his abuse until time for closing the
establishment. Fearing something would
take place, and remembering that on a for
mer occasion Mr.. Pretto received q stone
from an unknown hand while on his way
home, Nh. Samuel Elskoe and Mr.. J. Marcus
offered TO accompany Mr.. Pretto to his
residence. when on reaching the corner
known as ~LaugabaIle Corner they met the
man lying in wait, but by seeing that MIR.
Pretto was not alone, be did not make any
attack. They then decided to have the man
arrested, but on approaching him, he ran
away, when two men (Ogease WiIbekin aud
Oscar King) joined in the chase aud soon
succeeded III capturing him and placing HIM
in the safe keeping of the Police.

Was Full Blooded Indian, His Par.
ents Having Been Poems Of the Low
est Class, but He Won Distinction
as a Military Leader and Served
Seventeen Months as Provisional
President of Mexico.
El Paso, Tex, Jan. 14.-Generai
Nictoriano Huerta, former dictator
ard provisional president of Mexico,
died at S:95 o'clock last evening. His
will was signed following the admin
istration Of the last Catholic rites. He
asked his ls Tyer to say that he had
forgiven his enemies.
General Robes, his private secre
tary, issued the following just before
Buerta passed away: In the actual
moment of gravity in General Huer-
ta's condition, l only wish to state
regarding the unjust and cruel treat
ment given to him by the United
States government, that the treat.
ment is responsible for his present
condition. When he was president Of
Mexico he gave all guarantees to
Americans regardless of the many diff
tculties he mad met with in his ad-
ministration. In this country he was
thrown in jail like a common criminal
and his health completely broken
down, causing his death"
Victoriano Huerto was full blood
ed Indian. He was born in Colotlan,
state of Jalisco, on Dec. %, 1854. Co
lot,an was an Indian village, and
Huerta's parents were poems of the
lowest class. The village priest
taught MIN to read and write, and 1t
was this fact which gave Huerta his
chance to enter the army. For the
next twenty years he led the life OF
an army officer. He gain&d distinc-
ton as soldier in the campaigns
against revolutionists His most nota-
lie military achievement was the de-
feat of General Orozco, who had re-
belled against the Madero govern.
ment in 1912. Again in 1913 Huerta
saved the Madero government. Felix
Diaz, entering Mexico City from Vera
Cruz, had induced large part of the
federal troops to join his cause. These
troops seized the arsenal in Mexico
City. Madero put Huerta in command
Of the troops which remained loyal
For seven days and nights the battle
between the two sides was fought in
the streets OF Mexico City. Then
Huerta made secret agreement with
Diaz, as the result o. which his
men seized and imprisoned Maderc
and his cabinet. In accordance with
the same agreement Huerta took over
tie executive power. Five days later
Madero and Vice President Suare1
were murdered.
Thus was Huerta's reign usheret
In. Within week General Carranza
who had been a supporter of Madero
took the field against Huerta. Fol
seventeen months Huerte, as provi
sional president OF Mexico, held his
power in a country. torn by internal
strife. During that time he fiagrantiy
defied the United States, which had
refused to recognize him.
