GENERAL TREVINO IN
PURSUIT OF BANDITS
By The United Press.


CHIHUAHUA. Mex, Jan. 14.-Gen-
eral Trevino, Carranza commander, is
at the head of additional troops today
directing the pursuit Of the Villista
bandits who massacred American min
ing men west Of Chihuahua Monday
afternoon.
Trevino declared he would not only
round up the Villistas who took part
IN this wholesale murder, but would
direct an energetic campaign against
Villa himself.
Nothing has been heard here of the
surviving members of the Kramer
family since the report that Bert Kra-
mer was killed by Mexicans on his
fathers ranch. The greatest fear is
also felt for the safety of Ben Smell
and Frank Woods, cattlemen who rode
westward from Chihuahua last Satur-
day and who have not been hearl
from.
Because the country west of here is
hilly and offers splendid chances for
ambush, the Carranza punitive eXpe-
ditiOn is proceeding slowly.
Roland Anderson, manager Of the
Chihuahua Foreign Club. whose son,
Maurice, was a victim of the bandits,
will join the Americans pursuing the
bandits. Anderson was member Of
the relief party that went out to re-
cover the bodies. He nearly stumbled
across the nutilated form OF .his boy
in the CHASTITY moonlight
The body OF G. r. Watson. who was
shot while attempting to ford the
river. was found on the bank. over

terrier. No one recalled having seen
the dog aboard the train. and how
he came to he at the scene OF the
massacre is mystery.

LEMKE STATE CHAIRMAN.
Republican State Central Committee
Chooses Man Defeated Last
Spring by Gundcr Olson

The republican state central COM
mlttec met a. the capitol last week
and organized, the non partisan leage
controlling the meeting and writing
the republican platform after a close
fight.
VIM. Lemke, one Of the men who
has been furnishing much brains for
the league and who has been power
behned the throne since its inception,
was chosen state chairman. Ray Nc
knig, n non-partisan organizer, was
made secretary.
The resolutions committee left out
several Of the non partisan planks,
but they were inserted by the amend.
mcnt route, except in one instance.
The ruralcrcdit plank lost on q tie
vote.
Exemption of farm improvements
had just twenty-threc votes, the ex-
act number necessary to carry the
motion.
With the above action Of the repub-
ilcnn central committee, the last act
in taking over the republican praty
by the non-partisan league was ac-
complished. The little coterc of Mex
lean land spectators, Lemkc, Frazer
and Robinson. and their friends now
rule supreme. 1t is quite closed
corporation now composed of Robin
son, Birdsell, Mcdonald, Frazer and
Lcmkc that is in the saddle. Frazer
and Lemker are partners in Mexican
spcculations, Robinson is Lemkes
law partner, Frazer and Mcdonald
are former school-mates of Lemke and
Birdscll is his former instructor.
The republican national ticket has
the endorsement of these men. Lem
Ike is especially bitter against Wilson
and is author of book attacking
Wilson's Mexican policy, the land in
which Lemke's holdings are situated.
p. J. McCumber has also received
their unqualified endorsement for the
United States senate, thereby making
his election assured.
