The Mexican had plunged a knife used for peellng Po- tatocs ihto his throat, and the enlis- sion of blood was so great that for a few minutes it was believed he was killed outright
 When the kitchen was entered the Mexican was not there. while his vic tim was lying in pool of blood un- able to speak, and apparently uncon' scious.
 A nasty examination was made ot the wound. and it was stated the blade of the knife entered the neck within half an inch of the jugular vein. The wound was ghaStly and in using the weapon the intention or the Mexican, it is believed, was to sever the head from the body. This conclusion is borne out by the long wound, which extended in,o the vindplpe, which was cut in two.

PRESCOTT MANS EMBARRASSING
 EXPERIENCE

1 Being landed in France in August, . lr18, and rushed up into the front : line defenses without the usual pre- , liminary training and seeing his com pany of men which originally num-
 bered 215 cut to pieces in the Ar
 gonne forest so that only 90 of them
 remained, were some of the remark
 able experiences which Lieut. Chaun- cey M. Lyons of Prescott was priv lleged to pass through during the 10 months that he was connected with
 the 362nd Infantry of the 91 Divis- ion, says the rizona Gazette. Lieut.. Lyons, who arrived in Phoc-
 nix yesterday on his way to to Fort Bliss, Texas, related sonic of the thrilling incidents of the great strug-
 gle and modestly recounted his hair raising escapes. Lyons left Prescott
 in the fall of 1917 and was trained at Camp Lewis, American Lake, Wash. He arrived in France in Aug
 ust of the following year and re- turned to New York City last April.
 The tightest box 1 was in" said the young officer, was at the battle of Gesnes, France, on September % We had been told to capture the town from the boches and we went after it. Just at the critical point the Ameri- can barrage which should have shielded Us from the foe, collapsed completely, probably through some
 misunderstanding of orders, and we
 were left stranded at the top of a hign ridge alnlost at the mercy of the
 Huns. The enemy met Us with q combined attack of every kind of a weapon they had at their command poison gas, machine guns, airplane bombs and the usual artillery bar rage We were simply cut to pieces there But did the Yanks flinch iu the face of such an unmerciful slaughter? They did not They not cnly went forward, but succeeded in capturing the town of Gesnes. But the poor Tanks dropped like flies be- fore they did rout the Hun. It was the most sanguinary fighting that have ever seen. Because of the facI that the German snipers made a spe- cia leffort to pick off the American we had to go into these bat ties in the uniform of a private Our own men knew their officers, but the Huns didn't.
 "We were in the St. Milhie1 drive from September F until October 12, and were in the thick of the fight all the while. Captain Ned Mitchell of Prescott was with us at that time. This was the first time that the Huns had ever been compelled to stage sizablc retreat in front of the Ameri- cans, and 1t broke their hearts Dur ing the last few weeks of the war inc Huns were on the. run continu- ally, and at the time the armistice was signed we were whooping the Germans out of Belgium at merry clip. I was unusually fortunate to es- cape Being wounded or killed, guess.
 Lieutenant Lyons, who was joined here by his wife from Prescott, will leave this evening for Los Angeles for a short vacation. He expects to return to Fort Bliss, and will remain in the service indefinitely
