THE MONTE VISTA TRIBUNE

The Monte Vista Tribune, under
date of October 27th, in urging the
candidacy of John l. Palmer for
District Attorney, reviews the
achievements of his administration
during the past four years. En-
pasis is laid upon "all have been
treated. alike" and we are prompted
to inquire if that statement is true?
Mr.. Palmer is conservator of the
peace and the administrator of our
laws, made so by his election to the
Office of District Attorney. Now the
PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF COLO
RADIO have been parties to the suits
filed by the District Attorneys Of
flee and are prompted to inquire If
the same consideration has invari-
ably been given by the District At
torney's office to the PEOPLE OF
THE STATE OF COLORADO as has
been given to the defendants In sew
eral cases.
Mr.. Palmer, how about the case
of Oscar Schwartz, the leader of an
infamous gang of cattle thieves?
Will Mr.. Palmer tell the full facts
of this case, and why he permitted
| the case of the defendant, Oscar
Schwartz, to go over two terms of
court, thereby liberating the defend
ant and barring him from further
trial?
Mr.. Palmer, according to the
Tribune, has put fifty-two slot ma
chimes out of business because "men
in this community are rampant on
the gambling game" Now will Mr..
Palmer take the public into his con-
fidence and tell them openly, in
public statement that he has stamp
ed out all gambling in the Twelfth
Judicial District, and that there are
no organized poker games in active
daily operation, where large sums
of money are won and lost? Since
the men of this District are so
rampant on the gambling game"
Mr. Palmer has undoubtedly kept
himself fully informed. to curb the
rampant gambling instinct.
If the people of the Twelfth Judi
cial District are to vote intelligently
upon these qualifications of Mr.. Pal
mer, as outlined in the Tribune, he
schould answer fully the PERTIN-
ENT QUESTIONS addressed to him.

Failure of an organized attempt on

Villa was wounded in the hip in the
fight with the American soldiers after
the raid on Columbus. He is now
nursing his wound somewhere in Mex

der, hidden in the house of a friend.
He is not with the band of his follow
ers that General Pershing is hunting
in the interior among the Businesses
Of the Sierra Madre."
These statements were made in Ell
Paso by Frederick w. Perez, Villas
old aviator, who was held prisoner by
Villa from February Is to March 8,
escaping from the bandits the night of
the Columbus raid seven miles south
of the international border.
Perez, who is Is years old and a ma

aviator from January to September,
1915.
He was taken again into Mexico in
the early part of last February by
Col. Henrique Isquierda, one of VII

escape from Mexico and join his broth
err, Hippolito Villa, in Havana or New
York. Perez believes Villa was at this

Forces converging in COL

San Antonio, Texas, April /. 49,
After killing every one Of the 172
men in the garrison at Guerrero, Fran
cisco Villa has moved northward and
now is somewhere near the head-wa-
ters of the Santa Maria river, accord
ing to unofficial information secured
by General Funston.
At the head of a considerable force
Villa was reported to be on the San
Gernonimo ranch or the Quemada
ranch and troops of both the United
States and Mexico were believed to be
closing in on him.
This information was regarded by
General Funston and his staff as
probably correct. If correct, it ap-
peared that very soon Villa either
will have to face his pursuers in fight
or make another break through the
Tightening line of troops
Whether his assault on the garr-
son at Guerrero was the same engage
ment reported by General Pershing.,
was not known, but it was considered
likely, since the action reported by
General Pershing occurred March q,
somewhere in that region. Details O.:
the engagement were not reported.
General Pershing has been advised
of the report as to Villas location.
and 1t is known hat the disposition CT
his troops and that of the Mexican
government is such that Villa can
not easily escape without a. fight.
American troops are converging in
columns from the north and it was in

to join with the Carranza forces i1,
preventing his escape in that direc-
ton.
Other than that no supplies for the

news concerning that development Of
the situation was given out.

COLUMBUS FEARS SECOND
RAID; PREDICTION MADE
Town, Believes Bandit Has
Doubled on Trail.

Columbus, N. NJ, March 31.-A story
spread broadcast through Columbus
caused the credulous to fear that VII
la is about to make a second raid on
this community.
The story was based on a sugges-
ton made by Mexican ranch hand
employed by Mayor H. c. Hoover.
The Mexican who is said to have pre-
dicted the raid upon this town March
9 in which seven United States SOL
diers and eight civilians were killed,
asserted that he believed the bandit
chieftain had doubled on his trail and
was now in the vicinity of Santa Ma
ria in the Guzman district, about Is
miles south of the border.
