GENERAL erwin
STATIONED IN
CITY YEARS AGO
Leader of U. S. Troops on
Mexican Border Was
Favorite of Local
Social Set.

Brigadier General Erwin, in COM
mand of the United States troops
that invaded Mexico and yesterday
drove Villa and his soldiers out of
Juarez, is we'll known in Omaha,
having been stationed here for a
considerable length of time.
Early in 1901 when General Mer-
RAM was in command of what was
then the Department of the Platte
and which had its headquarters in
Omaha. Erwin came here as a cap
tain. He was known in Omaha as
Jimmy" Erwin. Within a short
time he became acting adjutant gen.
eral and few months later was pro-
NOTED to the rank of inspector gen.
eral. He was in the Philippine serv-
ice and afterward returned to Oma-
ha with the rank of lieutenant col
onel. In 1910 he was transferred to
San Francisco and in 1911 was made
colonel and assigned to the 9th cav
airy md subsequently sent to the
Mexican border, where he has since
been a good deal of the time.
During his several years residence
in Omaha, General Erwin was one
of the most popular army officers.
Most of the time he lived at the
Omaha club and was a general fav-
orite there. He moved in the exclu-
sive social set and was sought by
many mothers who had marriage
able daughters. However. he was
not caught in any of the local nets
that were set by Cupid, but instead,
during the latter years of his Omaha
residence he made a trip to Geor-
gia and upon his return, brought
with him a wife. a charming girl,
born and reared in his native state.

Winnipeg, June 16.-Freight yards

considerable number of fremen,

The back-to-work continued Mon
day but not in such large numbers
as last week.
No response was made by strikers
