woman Writes of
Columbus Raid
Guns Locked in Arsenal And
Men Practically Without Lead
ership When Mexies Struck

A letter written to Miss Hitch
cock from a friend at Columbus
adds something to the realiza-
ton of the horrors of the Mexi-
can raid as we'll as the dangers
of the punitive expedition. The
letter was written March II, and
the following paragraphs are
taken from it.
IF there is safety in the num-
Der of troops we have, we are
safe, but Of course we do not
know what the months will bring
forth. For my part | feel that
Uncle Sans boys have a hard,
hard pull before them and many
Of the brave fellows will never
come back.
IF you do not know the Mexi-
can people you do not realize
what this expedition" means.
How are they (our boys) to know
Carranza men from Villa men
and if am not much mistaken
it will not make any difference.
"All is hustle in town, thou
ands Of men coming and, | guess
| may say, thousands going. The
18th Cavalry, which has been
stationed here for four years,
was the first to go down, and,
believe me, those boys are a
brave lot and are "red hot"
''They tell of ''hot trail'' in
army lingo. Well, these boys
were here in Columbus when the
Mexicans raided-and with only
a small number on the job routed
the Mexies.
"The Mexicans were all over
the town-in the coal shutes, in
the camp and all around. Then
they burst out shooting and
shooting give Mexico" The
tragedy at the hotel was ter
rible.
"Some Of the boys were killed
while dressing the Colonel lives
quite a way from the camp, al.
so many Of the captains ano
lieutenants, so the boys were
practically without a head-but
thes. sure did slaughter The
brlSese when they got at them.
1--WE understand their guns
were all locked in the arsenal
If "Old Slocum" had been awake
and on the job as he had beer
warned to be, it would not have
been so bad. But it had beer
peaceful for four years-and the
''Mexicans would not dare to de
any devilty with the troop:
right here"

cupied by Schmid and Gramins-

then known as Scnmanl and

Lake. Geo. Jaehning has exclu-
sive management Of it and is
responsible for it's great growth

crease in the volumn of business
has been so marked that the

joining building which will later
be used as a part Of the store

w. R. R. tracks. Not only fine
lines of shelf hardware and
sporting goods are handled, but

gasoline and handpower, the
famous Heath and Milligan
paints and Sunshine finishes, the
hot water boiler and V. and K.

be demonstrated by the Western
Supply Co. of ST. Paul, an cleo
trio vacuum cleaner by the
American Radiator Co., the
Quick Meal ranges, oil stoves
and gasoline stoves by the Rim
gen Stove Co., and the Milwau-
kee Air pump designed especial
ly for giving a direct-from-the-
well supply system for farm
use. All these articles will be
thoroughly demonstrated by men
who understand them thorough
ly.
On the last day of the ami
versary celebration there will be
music and light refreshments,
including hot coffee will be
served. The Jaehning Brothers
