CHAPTER XVI.
The Troeha.

The Troeha.
OF all the military measures en-
ployed by the Spaniards I'm their wars
against Cuban independence. perhaps
the most unique was the trocha-
trench or traverse. Martinez Campos
during the Ten Years war built the
first trocha Just west Of the Cubltas
mountains where the whist of the
island is narrowest. Not until Wey-
ler's time were the two methods of
pncification, the trocha and the concen-
tration camp, developed to their fullest
extent. Although his trochas hindered
the free movement of Cuban troops
and his prison camps decimated the
peaceful population of several prov
inces. the Spanish cause gained little.
Both trenches and prison camps be-
came Spanish graveyards.
At the time Johnnie O'Reilly set out
for Matanzas the war-a war without
battle. without victory. without defeat
had settled into a grim contest Of en-
durance. In the east, where the insur-
recfos were practically supreme, there
was food of sort, but beyond the Ju-
caro-Moron trocha-the old one of
Campos' building-the country was
sick. Immediately west of 1t, In that
district which the Cubans called Las
Villas, the land lay dying, while the
entire provinces of Matanzas. Habana
and Pinar del Rio were practically
dead. These three were skeletons,
picked bare Of flesh by Weyler's beak.
The Jucaro-M Moron trocha had been
greatly strengthened since Campos'
day. It>followed the line of the trans
insular railway. Dotted at every quar-
ter of mile along the grade were lit
tie forts connected by telephone and
telegraph lines. Between these forti-
mas were sentry stations of logs or rail-
road ties. Eyes were keen, rifles were
ready, challenges were sharp, and coun-
tersigns were quickly given on the Ju-
caro-Moron trocha.
In OReilly's party there were three
men besides. himself-the ever-faithful
Jacket, n wrinkled old Camagueyan
who knew the bride trails of his prov
ince as fox knows the tracks to Its
lair, and silent guajiro from farther
west, detailed to accompany the expe-
dition because Of his wide acquaintance
with the devastated districts. Both
guides. having crossed the trocha more
than once, affected to scorn its ter
rors. and their easy confidence reas-
sured O'Reilly In spite Of Esteban's
parting admonition.
The American had not dreamed of
taking Jacket along, but when he came
to announce his departure the boy had
fatty refused to be left behind.
Fifty miles OF hnrd riding brought
the party to. the trocha; they neared 1t
on the second morning after leaving
Cubitas. and sought a secluded camp
Ing spot. Later in the day Hilario, the
old Camagueyan, slipped away to re-
connoiter. He returned at twilight,
but volunteered no report of what he
had discovered. After I'M insistent

ECHO Of FAMOUS
CHADRON CASE IN
DIVORCE ACTION
Robert Hood, Millionaire Mill
er, is Cited as Defendant
in Suit Brought
by Wife.

~ Another echo of the famous Chad
ron case was heard in district court
Friday morning when Robert Hood,
millionaire miller of Chadron, was
cited as defendant in petition filed
by his wife, Bertha Gordon Hood.
Mrs. Hood alleges extreme cruelty;
also that she has been unjustly ac-
cused OF having violated the marital
VOWS. She further alleges that Hood
on one occasion assaulted her and
urged her to leave home, which she
did on November II, 1917. Mrs.
Hood asks for alimony, and declares
that Hood is worth not less than
100000.
The Hoods were married in Lincoln
on February 5, 1916.
Former School Teacher.
Mrs. Hood. who is now in Ona-
ha, was Miss Bertha Gordon, teach
ing in the Prescott school at Lincoln
when Hood became infatuated with
her and proposed marriage. She
taught in Lincoln four years and lived
in Crete, Neb., before going to- the
state capital Hood was more than
three score years when he married
the young woman who now asks tor
separation.
The martial troubles OF the Hoods
at Chadron was the beginning OF the
famous Chadron case, which resulted
in the Strial OF six Omaha men and
three Chadron men for alleged black
mail and which situation afterward
was closely connected with the police
department hearing in Omaha a year
ago. ...
Fourteen months ago Hood grew
suspicious OF his wife, who did not
take kindly to the stay-at-home
method Of life of her elderly husband.
Hood engaged the Omaha Detective
association to obtain evidence against
Mrs. Hood. Among the operators
sent to Chadron by the association
were Philip Winckler, Gust A. Tylee
and Elsie Phelps. The Phelps wo-
man went to Chadron ostensibly a.
