Bisbee daily review., 1917-07-14

them while on the train a chunk oi bread and some beef, anything palat able or some crackers, but that the great number were without food ol any kind. ...
 We have still large number that up to the time of this statement have had nothing to eat at all. Others have had what the one small store in Harmanas could furnish. The little store sold out its entire contents, n cluding candy, within a few minutes
 Among the men deported are prop erty owners, Bisbee business men, Lib erty bond subscribers, men between the ages of 21 to 30 inclusive, who have registered under the selective draft law and others who are reser vists under the military law passed in June, 1916.
 Admits Many l. w. w.
 While many of the men, it is true are members of what is known as the l. w. w., nevertheless they are law abiding and peaceful men who have made no trouble as officials or inhabi tants here.
 Many who have lived in Bisbee TOT years-some for as long as 15 years and have their wives and families there now-are anxious co return.
 This morning at daylight we or ganized and provided sanitary arrange ments, made dead line so as to keep the men from in any way annoying the people of Hermanas. We are will ing to leave it to the people of this place as to whether or not this dead line has been lived up to.
 "All we ask is 10 have a fair ana impartial person inspect our ranks and say whether or not we lack or have acted as lawbreakers or danger ous citizens.
 "We believe that it is the duty of our government to protect us in our rights and see that we are returned to Bisbee.
 Officers Are Kind
 Personally have felt more for tine good name of my country than l have of any personal inconvenience or dan ger attendant to the trip. We have been treated kindly here by the sher- if of this county, w. c. Simpson, and by the district attorney, J. s. Vaught, and other officials and have been in formed by them that the governor of New Mexico and the New Mexico gov ernment will not see us starve."
 Early this evening Cleary called the exiles together and introduced Sheriff Simpson and District Attorney Vaught. With his introduction he informed the men that they were now in the hands of the sheriff and through him would be held responsible for their acton while in New Mexico by the people of that state.
 Cleary announced that good treat ment was promised by the state through the county officials present. Simpson was given a great ovation on his introduction to the men.
 "Police" Appointed
 Sheriff Simpson promised the eviles absolute protection while within his jurisdiction and assured them of his fair treatment as long as they conduct ed themselves as they had done to that time. Simpson said he would remain with them until orders from the prop CT authority should say what disposi- tion would be made of them and would use every means at his command to prevent any violence being done to them, Not knowing the pros and cons of either side of the differences" he would have to take them in charge for the time being until instructions were given for the final disposition. He asked their cooperation in keeping down disorder.
 The men responded to this appeal by appointing police officers" from among their number.
 Sheriff Simpson expressed himself as much pleased with the attitude of the men. He is remaining on the ground looking after them and keep ing five deputies with him. This force he says is sufficient.
 No Raids Yet
 Food, which was received at 6 o'clock tonight, was ,rationed out in al most military style. Squads of men from each car were appointed to re- ceive the issues for that car. Good order prevailed throughout. It was the first food some of them had had in "A hours
 A detachment of cavalry stationed here is supplying the men with water, which has to be hauled some distance from a railroad water tank to the point where the cars are sidetracked. The men nearly all wore light cloth ing and were without bedding of any kind. There was d prospect early tonight that they would have to rely on the shelter afforded by stock and box cars from threatened heavy rain
 No attempts have been made to raid farm houses in this district, no alarm prevailed among the inhabitants, and
