San Antonio, Texas.-Gen. Funston

public, and following the repetition of
the charge in the memorandum just

"Our conference was held at the immi-
grafton station, and when Gen. Scott

of this and he asked me if it were

Later that same day gave Maj Lang
horne his orders not to stop at the
river if he found a hot trail. But at
no future meeting was the Glenn
SpringR raid or the crossing of our
troops mentioned, either by Obregon
or by US. Both sides avoided mention
of it, and the charge that Obregon
was misled is utterly baseless."

Electricity kIIIs Insect.

A process has just been developed in
the department of agriculture BY
means of which insects and pests may
by killed by electricity. The process
consists in the application of salt wa
ter to the ground that is to be treated,
and then causing a current of cleo
tricity to pass through the soil. The
current generates a gas which will in
stantly kill all germs, larvae and in
sect pests in the soil, without in any
way injuring the vegetation. A large
area of ground can be treated by dig
ging shallow trenches in which pow"
erful current can be developed.

Fabens, Tex.-American troops,
which crossed the Rio Grahde into
Mexico near Ft. Hancock, in pursuit
of Mexican raiders, recrossed the river,
the trail having been lost, according to
a report received from three troops Of
cavalry under Captain Leroy Eltinge,
who pursued eight Mexicans who raid
ed the old post at Ft. Hancock and es-
capped with several head of govern
ment horses. Mounted Mexicans, all
armed, dashed into the camp. They
drove the residents to cover with a
fusillade of shots. Rounding up eight
horses and rifiing the mercantile store
at the camp Of a great quantity Of pro-
visions, they galloped back across the
border. Immediately the report was
flashed to General George Bell, Jr., in
Ell Paso. He ordered Troops C and d,
of the Eighth Cavalry, to Nulo. These
left by special train. Captain Eltinge,
with another troop from Fabens, met
them, and, assuming command, start
ed the pursuit. Nulo is about rs miles
southeast Of here, near Ft. Hanc Hk.
The mining camp is just south Of The
town on the Rio Grande. The raid
was almost as spectacular as that on
Columbus. Half a dozen men and t~o
women living at the camp were arous-
ed by crash of timbers as the ban
dts broke down the door to the mer-
camille store.
The miners rushed out with rifles In
hand, but were forced back by a show
er of bullets. Fearing they would be
massacred, the miners did not return
the fire. The bandits left an unmis.
taxable trail on their escape back into
Mexico. They dropped a sack of -four
on the American side at the little
bridge across the river. On the Mex
ican side was found half side Of ba-
con. Horses hoof prints showed that
they had taken direct southerly
route into the interior.
Only few miles over the border
camp fires were found showing where
the raiders had camped for several
nights prior to the raid. They had
awaited their opportunity, secure in
the protection afforded them by the
international line.

MESS TABLES 2 MILES LONG
Finishing Touches Are Being Put On
Camp Willis, At Columbus.

Columbus, o.-Mess tables more
than two miles long are being made
and put into place for the Ohio troops
now being gathered rapidly into the
limits of Camp Willis, near Columbus.
There will be 1,016 tables, each IL feet
long, and all places will be filled when
the Ohio regiments under call are all
brought in. Each soldier is given 16
inches of space at the mess table.
While the Eighth Regiment was put
ting it's camp streets and surroundings
in shape the Fifth Regiment from
Cleveland, Colonel Charles X. thinner
man, marched into camp. The COM
mand brought 1856 men. They had
the usual number of small animals as
mascots; fox terrier, small mon
key trained to do lot of tricks and a
skye terrier and a Blenheim spaniel.
The command travelled on three trains
The men marched to the camp, max
ing the four-mile hike in good shape.
The officers marched with the men,
Colonel Zimmerman leading. The field

with nearly 100 men, reached camp,

Regular army officers spent a busy
day getting the company rosters made
up, and issuing supplies to the men.
1t is detailed work with an enor-
nous amount of clerical work to be
done to start the big camp records in
proper shape. Adjutant General Ben
S. Hough resigned as Lieutenant Colo
mel of the Fourth Regiment. He was
in that rank when he was made Adju-
tant. AS the regiment must now be
fully organized he had to choose be-
tween the position OF Adjutant and
the position with his regiment. He
personally requested Governor Willis
to consent to his resignation as Adju-
tant General and let him go with his
command, but was asked to stay
where he was. That made his resig-
nation from the Lieutenant Colonelcy
imperative and he handed it in. His
preference was to go back to his COM
mand and resume his old place. This
action will make it impossible for Gen.
eral Hough to reach the Mexican Dor.
der in the event of Ohio troops being
sent there for service.

1T was treachery," they cried; we
thought they were friendly. They pre-.
tended to be until they had us sur
rounded. Then the slaughter began.
We didn't have a chance. The Mexi-
cans even killed our wounded when
the fight was over" This last state
ment-one of the gravest charges that
can grow out of civilized warfare
was cOrrobOrated by three of the
American soldiers. These were Pri-
Yates William D. Gibson and Luther
Alexander, Of Troop C, and Private
Archie Jones, of Troop X.
"The Mexicans-those who spoke
English-bragged before us of having
killed our wounded men," declared
Gibson. "They got out their long
knives and demonstrated how they
had cut the throats of the fallen Amer
leans after the battle was sover." A
ragged and dirty band it was, pune
tured by bullets and gaunt from prison
privations. But nobody better than
themselves knew how glad they were
to get back to United States soil No
more appropriate memento of Carri-
zal could have been presented to the
American government There was
but flint of cereuony. A Mexican
general marched from his side of the
border to the exact center of the in
ternational bridge. He handed to an
American general who met him there
a plain sheet Of paper. Names were
typed on it.
