Sioux Falls, S. d. June s.-A dis
patch from Mission, Tex. telling OF q
raid by Mexican bandit and the kill
ing of an Americanized Mexican named
Garcia, q ranchman. after his wife and
five daughters had been mistreated,
was OF special interest to he members
of Company r, South Dakota" national
guard, OF this city. When the members
of Company b were on the Mexican
border last winter half of h company
was deailed to protect the Garcia
ranch, remaining at the n for a
period of two weeks. The ranch Is sit
uated in the lower Rio Grande valley.
n December a Mexican scout who
was stationed 1t SCOTS ranch, on the
American side of the river, was wound
ed by Mexican bandits. and Las feskes
ranch. the home Of Garcia, was threat
ened several times. One-half OF Com
pany b was detailed to guard the Scott
ranch and The other half TO guard Las
Yeskes ranch. During the two weeks
which the Sioux Falls national guards
men spent at Las Yeskes ranch they
became good friends Of Garcia, who
was a kindly mar about so years OF age.
Several times le had supplied the
South Dakota soldiers with d~elicacies.
which were foreign to the daily camp
fare, and also invited Inc boys to his
home on frequent occasions.
The bandits had on numerous occa-
sions tried to get" Garcia because he
had given information in regard to their
whereabouts, and activities. to the Uni
ted States military authorities. After
the Sioux Falls boys had guarded the
ranch for Il period of two weeks they
were relieved by Company C. of Brook
ings. S. D., who remained at the ranch
for a corresponding length Of time.
The South Dakota guardsmen were
sorry TO hear of the death of their Mex
lean friend at the hands of the bandits.

/. BUT CAN'T EAT
DIAMOND JIM" BRADY PAYS
FOR BEING ooRMANp
instead Of ooroIng on Steaks, He
Dimes on Hot Water and Health
Biscuits Now.

Atlantic City. N. j. Picture the
plight of a man with $20,000.000 and
no appetite! That is the sad situa-
ton OF James Buchanan Brady, New
York millionaire sportsman, whose
diamonds and idiosyncrasies have
kept him in the limelight for years.
That he has been ordered to forego
exciting diversions until his nerves
are restored and his heart is function
ing as nearly right as II ever will, by
the Manhattan specialist who sent
him here for rest, is the least OF the
troubles OF Diamond JIM"
He cannot eat! That is the tragedy
which overshadows all ether consid-
erations for James Buchanan Brady.
He confessed it recently to friend
while the two breakfasted at a hotel
here. The friend ate heartily. Brady's
rising repast comprised a cup OF hot
water and two health biscuits.
Time was when Diamond Jim"
Brady could sit down and punish
steak two inches in thickness, two or
three dozen oysters, great dish Of
chicken salad and various other
things. And he did it for years, until
the inevitable happened-his stomach
went ack on him. Diamond Jim"
went to hospital, where a surgeon
extracted his stomach, pronounced the
opinion that it had been worked
death, gave it such scientific treat
ment as he could and put it back in
place again.
1t showed signs of being nearly as
good as new and Brady was so CRATE
full that he gave the doctor fee of
100000, three motor cars in sue.
cessive years and finally a handsome
mansion. But surgical science has
limitations. The Brady digestive ma
chinery went on strike again, his
nervous system is out of l:elter and
his heart IL behaving 80 badly that
the doctors have told him exactly
what he may expect if their mandates
are not met to the letter.
Cutting out strong drink is one
thing which is not worrying Brady.
He never had any time for liquor, de-
spite the fact that great part Of his
life has been spent in New York with
men who ranked as staff officers OF
Gen. John Barleycorn. He has never
used coffee for other beverages, be-
cause he never could see any need
for them.
He would not care if the whole coun-
try went dry day after tomorrow, and
he Is quite certain that thing is going
to happen in few years at the most.
He regards it as an inevitable econo-
mic development.
Being without an appetite Is an
other matter. 1t makes Diamond
