So even II we are sent home tomor-

rode up and called across inviting them
to come over and have a drink. The

the Mexicans called and they came

Tested the most friendly feelings.
Suddenly another Mexican rushed UP
and drew a gun on the Americans and
forced them to "go over" They were
taken before the commandante who
ordered them released and returned to
the American side.
For while 1t looked as II the Second

Such incidents show the treachery Of
the Mexicans and the constant danger
