ARREDONDO MAKES DENIAL
That Cabrera Assailed the United States
Government.

Washington, D. c., Oct 30.-Eliseo Ar
Iredondo, Mexican ambassador designate
issued statement last night to the eff
feet that the reported statement of Luis
Cabrera, chairman of the Mexican contin-
gent of the joint international commits
sion, assailng the American government
for permitting aid to reach Villa and
other bandits, was not true.
The statement alleged TO have been
furnished the American News bureau by
Cabrera was in part as follows:
I'm the United States are many Mex
leans and groups of Mexicans inimical to
the Carranza government Plottings and
schemngs without end are engaged in,
not alone by the extreme conservatives,
who are striving to bring on intervention
with the hope that the constitutional
government shall be destroyed with the
aid of American armies, but also there
are groups of extremely radical maleon-
tents whose hope is the destruction OF
the Carranza government in order that
license. banditry and rapine may continue
and multiply until human rights and
property rights all are destroyed.
"The conservatives reactionaries, are
taking advantage OF the situation created
by the ultra radicals. The Importation
of arms and munitions for the use OF
Villa, Zapata and the other bandits and
brigands is conducted under the very eyes
of supine officials, whose business 1t
would be to hinder their transmission
across the border.
"The propaganda of revolt against con
&. fo1 hU
scores of conspirators, known to both the
Mexican and the American officials, who,
by even the most strictly literal immi-
grafton laws, should be deported from
the United States"

CHAPTER v.

Duane looked around him for book
or paper, anything to read; but all
the printed matter he could find con-
sisted of a few words on cartridge
boxes and an advertisement on the
back of q tobacco pouch. There
seemed to be nothing for him to do.
He had rested; he did not want to lie
down any more. He began to walk to
and fro, from one end of the room to
the other. And as he walked he fell
unto the lately acquired habit of
tbroOding over his misfortune.
Suddenly he Strengthened up with a
Jerk. UnconsciOusly he had drawn his
gun. Standing there with the bright,
cold weapon in his hand, he looked at
1t in CONSERVATION. How had he come
to draw It? 1t might have come from
a subtle sense, scarcely thought of at
all, Of the late, close and inevitable re-
3ation between that weapon and him
self. He was amazed to find that, bit
ter as he had grown Of late, the desire
to live burned strong in him. Life
certainly held no bright prospects for
him. Already he had begun to despair
of ever getting back to his home. But
to give up like white-hearted coward,
to let himself be handcuffed and
jailed, to run from a drunken, brag-
sging cowboy, or be shot in cold blood
wanted to add another notch to his
gun-theSe things were impossible for
Duane because there was in him the
temper to fight.
In that hour he yielded only to fate
and the spirit Unborn in him. Here
after this gun must be a living part
of him. Right then and there he re-
turned TO a practice he had long dis
continued-the draw. 1t was now a
stern, bitter, deadly business with
him. He did not need to fire the gun,
for accuracy was a gift and had be-
come assured. Swiftness on the draw,
however, could be improved, and he
set himself to acquire the limit of
speed possible to any man. He stood
still in his tracks; he paced the room;
he sat down, lay down, put himself in
awkward positions; and from every
position he practiced throwing his
gun-practiced it till he was hot and
tired and his arm ached and his hand
burned. That practice he determined
10 keep up every day. 1t was one
thing, at least, that would help pass
the weary hours.
Later he went outdoors to the cooler
shade of the cottonwoods. From this
point he could see a good deal of the
valley. Under different circumstances,
Duane felt that he would have en-
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1916-12-15

joyed such a beautiful spot. He saw
good many Mexicans, who, of course,
were hand and glove with Bland.
Also he saw enormous flat-boats, crude
of structure, moored along the banks
of the river. The Rio Grande rolled
away between high bluffs. A cable,
sagging deep in the middle, was
stretched over the wide yellow stream,
and an old scow, evidently used as
ferry, lay anchored on the far shore.
The valley was an ideal retreat for
an outlaw band operating on a big
scale. Pursuit scarcely need be feared
over the broken trails of the Rim
Rock And the open end of the valley
could be defended against almost any
number of men coming down the
river.
Duane must have ided considerable
time up on the hill, for when he re-
turned to the shack Euchre was
0usilV engaged around the campfire.
"Whl, glad to see you amt so paie
about the gllls as you was" he snl0,
by the wat Of greeting. "Pitch in an
well soon have grub ready. There's
shore one consolin' fact round this
here camp"
