Gen. Petronilo Hernandez who the

ed viii succeed Gen. Gabriel Gavira at
Juarez. has turned out to he myth
He does not exist save in the magma
ton. He does not command any great
army save in fancy. He is no general
al all. When Gen Gabriel Gavira
learned that the newspaper men had
recalled him and supplanted him with
Gen. Petronilo Hernandez, he began to
inquire as to who Hernandez might be.
Where is Hernandez Gavira in
quired over the wires but there was nc
reply. None OF the other Constitution
alist officers knew anything about the
general Then followed a closer in
vestigation. Gen. Gavira was inter-
ested. Generals are always interested
i'm their successors. His efforts were
rewarded by finding that Gen. Petr1-
milo Hernandez was at one time a Villa
general and that he had been mustered
out when the Villa army of the north
was broken. Hernandez took the oath
" remuneration and retired to private
life, He is now somewhere i'm Mexico,
but not al the head of 1900 men at

VILLA WAS NOT IN PARRAL ON
LAST FRIDAY. SAYS c. B. SMITH

c. 3. Smith, who arrived in Juarez
Monday morning at o'clock from
Parral and who was detained all OF
Monday in Juarez, brings the report
that on Friday. April Z. everything was
quiet at Parral and that no Villista
bands had passed through or near
Parral up to that time. His report
discredits the report completely that
Villa and his men could have been
at Magistral ON Friday, as Magistral
is a good 20 miles south Of Parral. and,
because Of the roughness of the cOun-
try. could not be covered on horseback
i'm less than two days.
Mr.. smith stated that there had been
rumors I'm Parral that villa was in
the neighbOrhood of Santa ROsalia and
that he and his men had been at La
Boquilla. II heard the report" Smith
said, that Villa was shot while pay
ing attentions to a young woman and
that the shooting occurred near Minaca.
The father Of the young woman did
the shooting and was prevented from
killing Villa by two Of Villas men.
The father was then taken out and
killed. ] don't know the names Of the
man or the woman and I don't know
that it happened. 1T was only a re-
port that I heard from some MeXicans"

OWNER OF DURANGO PLANT
CANNOT CONFIRM BURNING

II the million dollar plant Of the
Compania MADEIRA. Durango City. Mex.
has been burned, Hiram Smith. Of Fl
Paso. one of the chief owners, knows
nothing about OF. II have been try
ing to get some information from Du-
range as to the condition of the plant
and whether or not there has been
a conflagration.' said Mr.. Smith Tues
day, and so far, ] have learned moth
ing, as there is no way to get a wire
out Of Durango
on April 3 or 6 a friend of mine in
III Paso received a letter from Durango
I'm which il was stated that the lum-
Der plant was intact and that every
thing was very quiet in Durango city.
I therefore do not place any credit
in the report that there was a destruc-
tive fire al the mills on March %
The plant, said TO represent an in
vestment Of many millions, has been
idle for several years because OF lack
OF shipping facilities. There is a great
quantity OF seasoned timber in the
stacks and were a fire to start, it
would sweep everything before It,

In recent days Gen. Gavira has been
marc at his home than at the e1rartel
because of the many audiences that are
sought with him and for which he has
not the time Many persons who should
present their troubles to the mayor in
stead, insist upon presenting them to
the general.
Gen. Gavira always wears upon his
coat lapel the green shield OF the Con-
army. with his rank in gold
inscribed thereon. Upon his soft felt
hat is a similar shield. He never car
ries any arms with him. though from
time to time pistols are scattered over
his desk.

THEN A DIVORCE

Relatives and a mother-in-law
had something to do with the di-
vorce suit brought Friday by
Gladys l.. knecht against Howard
d., according to her complaint
filed in the superior court.
After the couple had been mar
ried in May, 1915, they lived
three weeks with his relatives.
Then they tried his motherlin-
law.
Gladys claims this mother-in-
law made il unpleasant for her,
and that she tried to persuade
Howard to set up housekeeping.
He refused, she says, so she
packed up and went to work in
a hotel at $25 month. Then
she claims he came to board with
her. making her pay the cost.
And at that, she says, he called
her names and threatened to
strike her.
