peniten tiary, were
brought to the border att
noon today to be turned
\ over to the American

A shout of laughter rose
from the thousands Of
Juarez Mexicans who had
gathered to witness the
arrival as the negroes
filed from the special
train. The prisoners were
dressed in the scantiest
and most nondescript
garb. Some had on only
trousers. One. wore a shirt
while a towel encircled
his waist. Others heads
were decorated with
bandanas.
Spillsbury was dressed
in a white duck suit. He
appeared anxious. All the
troopers were worn and
drawn from their ex-
perience and all were
serious save one. who wore
a broad smile.
This one made himself
the impromptu spokesman
of his fellows.

commander and Andres Garcia, Next

Gen. Gonzales boarded the train.

the prisoners from Chihuahua.
The guard, dressed in uniform Oi
bright yellow, pushed back the crowd
forming lane through which Spills

the railway tracks. They were taker
to the disinfecting plant and there
stripped and treated before being go
corted to the commandments
At. the commandments the Troopers
refused to discuss the Carrizal fight

they have Q right TO decide whether or
not bonds shall be issued Ia ST. Mary

Novel, but Appreciated.

The Community Christmas tree
given under the auspices of the Eagle
River VIC. was largely attended by
many from the country as well as
the majority in Eagle River. Some
500 children were presented with
sacks of candy, nuts, etc, during the
singing of Christmas Carols by a
choir made up Of lalies interested
in the cause. The gaily adorned
tree made by yariously colored elect
ric lights, made an attractive sight
for the whole Of Railroad street, and
was evidence that many had freely
devoted a large amount Of time and
labor in the preparation of the new
feature Of the Christmas season.
