Camp at villa Ahumada.
In addition to the 400 additional SOL
diers reaching Juarez late yesterday.
fully 1000 well-armed Carranzistas
went into camp Friday night at villa
Ahumada, eighty-three miles south.
These re-enforcements increase the
Mexican force at Villa Ahumada to
5000 men, and II 10 known that all of

Another angle TO the mystery sur
rounding the fate OF General Gabriel
Gavira developed when II was reported
that the true reason for his recall TO
Nexico CITY grew out OF his plan to
tween the de factc government and
the United States. General Francisco
Gonzales IL given credit for discovering
General Gavira's plan to evacuatn
It Is said that General Gavira was
convinced that the American forces In

batter Jnarez to pieces in less than an

forces into tho interior. where they
could still be OF service in fighting the
Americans.
Gonzales Not Alarmed.
Evidently General Gonzales. now In
command OF the Juares garrison. does
not share the opinion of General Ca
vira, as he Is said to have revealed
the whole plan to General Obregon,
and Gavira's summons to Mexico City
followed.
whether Gavira was executed at the
capital or between the capital and the
border. as reported. seems to be a
matter of speculation. The Mexican
authorities have denied IL, but tho
fact remains that Alberto Gevlra. a
captain In the Carranza army and a
son of the general was sent to Chi

Agitation in favor of placing an

GETS LIFE TERM FOR MURDER
Otis Williams Protests Innocence
When Sentence Is Pronounced

Otis Williams Protests Innocence
When Sentence Is Pronounced
Chelsea, Aug. 5.-Declaring that he
was not guilty of the charge, Otis Will
liams, who was convicted in Orange
county court July q of second degree
murder In the death OF Joseph Felch Of
Waits River, his employer, on April %,
last, was sentenced by Judge Stanton
yesterday to serve the remainder OF
his natural life In the State prison at
Windsor. Sheriff Reed and Dep
uty Sheriff Tracy took him by auto
mobile to Windsor to-day.
There were not more than score of
people in the court room when Will
liams was brought In for sentence, the
size of the crowd being much In con-
trast to the attendance during the pro-
gress of the trial. When the convicted
man was asked II he had anything to
say why sentence should not be pro-
n0unced, Williams arose and without
betraying any sign Of emotion but In
low voice asserted his innocence OF
the charge, Sentence was then pro-
nounced. Exceptions noted at the
time OF the trial may mean that the
case win be taken to supreme court.
Motion was made by counsel for
Mrs. Anna Fetch, widow of Joseph
Felch and jointly indicted for murder
with Williams. that she be admitted to
bail pending her trial in the local coun-
ty court, but the motion was overruled.
The trial Of the woman's case was con-
tinued, no definite date being set but
presumably it will be held during the
December term. 1t is reported that the
woman is to become mother within
short time. She is at present an in
mate of the Orange county Jail here
and probably will remain here until her
trial.

BUBBLE BURSTS
Hard Times on Golden Coast Since
Expositons Closed.

IlU " lHiCo vi SOIucIl SOdok OHfSC
Expositions Closed.
An Addison county man who went
to California to live about two years
ago, and who is back in Vermont look
ing after some business interests, says
the great prosperity which the East Is
now enjoying does not reach very far
west of the Missouri river, the coast
states In particular experiencing
pretty hard times just now.
While the expeditions were being
made ready and while they were open,
there was plenty of work at good
wages out there. The throng Of tour
lists which went west last year carried
lots of money with them, the most Of
which they left there. But when the
exposltions closed the fountains Of
wealth were dried up, and it has been
pretty hard shedding ever since. In
addition, the Wilson free trade bill
knocked the stuffing out of the lum-
Der trade In the northwest, and from
Nottingham to San Diego there is an
army OF unemployed who have all
the time there is to regret the folly
which induced them to leave good
homes and positions in the East to go
out to the Golden coast, where they
were to become independently rich

the dissatisfied of the East, is full Of
ladies and gentlemen on their uppers.
according to the authority quoted
above. Bread lines are as common as
rose gardens. Employers of labor
are besieged from mornig till night.
To keep some of these unfortunates
from starving the restaurants, at the
close of day, pass out such leftoyers
as cannot be used, and the crowds
which gather at the back door OF
these eating places furnish one of the
sights Of the town. So fierce is the
struggle for the scraps of food that
there is near riot every night. as
the half-famished creatures struggle
for q bite.
Many Of these people would hike
for home in hurry If they had the
| price of railroad ticket. Walking Is
out of the question. as It is n long way
across Death valley. Others are toe
proud to come back and acknowledg,
failure, and stay on, waiting for some
thing to turn up.
