Besides 1000 well-armed and
mounted Carranzistas under Gen
Luis Herrera reported marching
from Chihuahua city to Join Wills
and csno's rumored revolt, the Car
rama garrisons at Torreon and

no confirmation Of these reports.

In strong guard being thrown alons

derstood to have severed relations
following a wordy quarrel over ths
presence of American troops on Mex

A combined attack on ri Pasc

large local Mexican colony has Ions
been the city's bugaboo.
Reports OF Gen. Herrera's defec
ton were circumstantiAi. With his
1000 well-armed and mounted fol-
lowers, he was said 10 be marching
southwark. Until q few days aec
he was In command at Chihuahus
City. but when deposed by Gen. Car
rama for drunkenness, Il was re-
ported. Herrera took his large per
sonal following with him. No disor'
ders or nghting In the vicinity OF
Chihuahua City have been reported
A small garrison remained In the
city.
General credence was given the
reports that practically the entire
1000 former villistas have renounc.
ed Carranza and were on their way
to join the outlaw In southern Chi.

ers villa was expected to make .
stand against the American forces

MENGEL BOX co. GIVES
employees MORE WAGES.

Several hundred employees of
the Hickman branch of the Men
gel Box Co. were very pleasantly
surprised Saturday morning when
their pay envelopes contained an
extra five per cent, representing
an unsolicited raise IN wages of
that amount. In addition to ex-
ira money, the "boys" were al
so rendered another little act Of
kindness, which they certainly ap-
preciate; viz, that the company
would furnish them coal at cost,
which will mean big saving. AS
a matter of fact, the cosl situa-
tion has been such Tat local
dealers were hard pressed in
supplying the trade, and Mengel
merely comes to the rescue of its
employees.
Both Col. Claude Walker and
Frank Won Berries, the heads of
the local branch, are delighted
in being able to give their men
an increase in wages and the adj
vantage of coal at cost. While
none of them have ever asked. for
more wages, the branch managers
felt that the high cost of living
warranted an increase in wages
and proceeded with the Mengel
policy of doing the right thing at
the right time. While we are not
at liberty to give any exact fig
ures, We will state that this raise
in wages will amount to many
thousands of dollars per year.
