Torreon, Coahuila. Mexico, Sept. 10.
High officials in the Mexican army
attempted to prevent the, surrender OF
Francisco Villa, the bandit and gueril-
la revolutionist, who recently laid
down his arms, according to Elias L..
Torres, an architect of Mexico City
and Ell Paso,' who is credited with
res in describing the negotiations be-

ia said the Mexican executive was
anxious to bring about a~l:peacefuly set
Element while some army officers tried
to capture Villa while negotiations
were in progress. (
Torres in detailing the negotiations
weaves much romance into the recital.
He said:
The ~frstlink ii the villa surren-

Previous to the attack HipoYto Villa,

Forest, was glad that Mr.. Hunter had
found out who was eating his corn.
Now he promised not to shoot at Mrs.
Killdeer any more, for all that she did
was to keep the bugs away.
The King returned to his Palace in
time to see Major Pole Cat and Chief
Perky leaving. He knew there was
something important to look after or
they would not go away together. At
once he asked Jack the Wood Rat
what called them away.
There was trouble in the Old Oak
Tree in the midst of the Forest, and
Young Rabbit came for you Oh King,
but because you were not here Major
Pole Cat and Chief Perky said they
would go to see what they could do"
Tinker Bob thought a moment. He
WAS wondering IL it might be trouble
between Jerry the Jay and n of his
feathered enemies. Then he thought
again it might be trouble between
Musk Rat. The King knew thd they
were somewhat jealous because
Three Legs had found his other leg.
Il shall go atlbnce and see for my
self what the matter is" said Tinker
and he hurried away.
The King followed Major and Chief
Perky closely, but they did not see
Chief Perky along, for every tree they
came to the Chief wanted to stop and
rest a bit. He is the greatest fellow
to rest of any creature I ever knew.
TheAold Oak was reached in due
season and Major Pole Cat. shifted
about to see If he could detect any
trouble. He couldn't smell a thing.
Then there came to his ear a squeaky
sound and then a little squeal. At last
Major located the place where the
battle seemed to be raging. 1t was
in the tiniest clump of dty leaves at
the base of the tree.
"Chief Porky, you please o the
leaves away from here till l see wha,
the trouble u.s." he said.t
Now Chief Perky had paid little, II
any, attention to the squeaks. So he
