MANY EXECUTIONS
 ENLARCE CEMETERY.
[Republlcan A. p. Leased Wirel


 JUAREE, Mex, Jan 29.-"El Campo Santc." ar Sacred Ground of Juarez, has had 10 be enlarged because of the six years of revolution that caused so many executions and untimely violent deaths. It is now double the size of the little plot of sterile and unlovely ground on the mesa south of the town that once sufficed for the burial of the dead.
 In the center of the field of brightly painted crosses, frequently hung with equally brightly painted wreaths Of tin flowers, stands a rectangular adobe house, whitewashed and pock- marked with the bullet holes of many execu- tions. Ii is against the west wall of this house that the condemned is stood. facing the firing squad. It saves time in disposing of the body for the open grave always is ready.
 When Francisco Villa ruled in JuareZ and most of northern Mexico. 1t is said that hundreds of military prisoners and civilians were put to death against the wall of the adobe house. Immediately after his capture of the town forty eight were executed and buried in one large grave. Since the Villa occupation "El Campo Santo" gradually has resumed it's normal as- pect.
 The cemetery lies on the crest of a rocky tableland which spreads out to- ward the foothills of the Juarez moun- tains. It is reached by rutty wagon road which dips into the JuareZ valley, crosses the sand wash and slopes up ward to the iron gate of the cemetery. It is down this road that the funeral processions march under the scorch- ing sun.
 There Is no grass, there are no flowers, and no trees to shade the mourners, because the soil on the mesa is as sterile as that of the desert beyond. Flowers. usually made of tin are hung from the arms of the crosses which are invariably erected over graves in Mexico. They are often painted in bright colors with the name or the dead stenciled on the cross arm in black

You cannot expect to get loyalty from the immigrant or the imml- grant s children, unless you make this a country to which a proud man can be loyal. To do that you have got to demand that the country stand for courage and for strength.

Contest Case Heard.

The election contest case with
Henry Corn, contestant, VS.. c.
Walker Hyde, defendant, filed
shortly after the last election has
been before the court In various
phases with little evidence on
the part of contestant to estab-
lish his claim A short time ago
application was made under stat
ute to claim permission to open
the boxes and recount the bal
lots in Precincts l and 9-Lin-
celn and Captain for the pur-
pose of finding out who voted
for sheriff in the disputed pre-
cincts. Hyde then filed suit in
equity against Corn, Board of
Commissioners and County Clerk
TO restrain these officials from
opening the boxes for any pur
pose whatever on the ground
that ballots cast were secret un-
der statute and could not be ex-
amined for TIC purpose named.
A temporary injunction was
granted in this suit and Tuesday
of this week a hearing was had
before Judge Medler who made
the injunction permanent. At
torneys for Corn asked the court
to grant judgment on suit that
tries the right to the Office in
favor of contestant. The motion
was denied by the court after
which attorneys asked for an
appeal to the supreme court, this
also being denied.

OBITUARY-JAMES DUNCAN

James Duncan was born in the

May Is, 1917, age 81 years, II days.
He was married Dec. Is, 1891 to Mar
vina ButrOn of BeetoWn who in his
long illness gave him unremitting
care. To this union was born eleven
children of whom four boys and three
girls are living, Clyde, Lloyd, Jeffry
James, Belva, lingo and Myrl. Belva
and Jeffey are married the rest are
all at home. Such is a brief family
history Of James Duncan, who has
served his country and generation
we'll in the time allotted him, by rails
ing large family of sturdy children
and tilling the fertile soil of Grant
River valley From the time of his
marriage, he has continually been
employed in the pursuit of farming

ted and there the widow with the
eldest son Clyde, to manage the farm.
will continue the work of him who
has left life's labor.
Mr.. Duncan was a man beloved by
all who knew him, of friendly and
genial nature. He made friends where
ever he went; friends not for a day
but. for life. Gifted with a splendid
tenor voice his society was made dou-
bly, happy by that beautiful gift of
song which is peculiar characters
ic of his entire family, and Old Grant
River Hills has echoed and re-echoed
the songs which animated from that
gifted family. Honest, upright and
industrious, he left his family in COM
fort not only for this life but for the
life to come. Knowing that his
time was nearly up, he told the wri-
ter few days before the end came
that heaven was to be his home.

is going home, and not afraid of be-
