PLANS new RESERVOIR
One With a Capacity of 100000 De-
manded by Ncwland.

Plans, dra wn r. the city entineer.
for reinforced c0ncrete reservoir
with a capacity of 250.00 gallons near
the pumping station, were presented to
the city com missioners today. The
plans were drawn on recommendation
of Frank Newland water and lights
commissioner
The reservoir, Mr.. Newland said,
would serve in an emergency and
would increase the efficiency of the
pumping station. Besides building the
reservoir it is planned to sink one of
the big pumps down to bedrock. The
reservoir would also lessen the strain
on the plant. especially in dry weather,
when the lift Of water is higher than
ordinary.
Action on the plans was deferred to-
day at Mr.. Newland's request He
said they will go before the commits
sioners Monday. when he will ask
them to instruct the city clerk to adj
vertise for bids. He plans to build
the reservoir this summer.

MExICANS COURTEOUS
Undertakes Who Dug Up Bodies at
CarrizaI Met No Resistance.

Ell Paso, July 6.-Although the I'M
dertaking force that made the trip to
CarrizaI for the bodies of the Ameri-
can cavalrymen was shown every
courtesy by the Mexican officials.
they said the populace in the vicinity
of Villa Ahumada showed considerable
enmity. They were not hindered in
their work, however, they said.
One of them, o. ]. Wilson. recounted
the story of the trip as follows:
I'VE arrived in Villa Ahumada
Tuesday afternoon, having with US
metallic caskets and wooden covers
for fourteen men. These were loaded
upon a motor truck and we imme-
diately set out for Carrizal.
I'VE did not begin work until
Wednesday morning, but our task, al
though disa greeable, was not hard.
We found eight of the bodies in a
single grave. The other was located
two miles distant Apparently the
dead man had retreated from the fight
badly wounded and had died near the
spot where he was buried.
Captain Boyd, Lieutenant Adair
and six of the troopers occupied one
grave, which was on the scene of the
battle. Their bodies had been stripped
and piled on top of each other in q
ditch, which was then filled with dirt.
Were Not Mutiiated.,
Although the bodies were badly
decomposed it was plain there had
been no mutilation.
"Only one bore an Identification tag
that of Dewitt Ruckers K troop. We
recognized Boyd and Adair by their
color.
1.-The next morning we started them
over to Villa Ahumada, ten miles dis
tant.
I'VE received very nice reception
in Villa Ahumada. Col. Urbano Ri
vera of the Carranza forces there met
US with an escort and took us to the
railway station. We loaded up the
caskets aboard our special train and
last evening started back to Juarez,
arriving late at night
Wilson said Mexican soldiers at Car
rial told him admiring stories of the
bravery of Lieutenant Adair, who.
they said, fought the Mexicans to the
very death.
According to the Mexicans.'' added
Wilson, 'Adair, after being wounded
used his pistol like a machine gun.
When it had been emptied he grabbed
another pistol and kept right on fight
ing until he was killed"
