Bailey The husband of Mrs. Willis disappeared while trying to get her out of the country. It is assumed by her, he is dead.

 Colonel's Outlawry
 A divergence from the line of tes- timony being taken by the commit tee, was that given by o. G. Comp ton of San Antonio. He told the story of the Glenn Springs raid in 1916. The Mexicans crossed the international boundary at night, rode nine miles to the little town where the garrison consisted of nine Amer ican soldiers. These and Compton stood off until daylight the much larger force, but it cost Compton his five year old son who was shot in his own home, and the lives of three American soldiers. The at tacking party shouted during the night "Vivas" both for Villa and Cararnza and on one of the three prisoners brought out of Mexico by the punitive expedition that had been sent into the country were found papers identifying him as 9 colonel in Carranza's army. He and one other were sentenced to terms in prison. The other captured man was identified as one of those who attacked the Boquillas ranch the same night that the raid on Glenn Springs occurred.
