FREQUENT GUN CLASHES MAKE
e. PASO CENTER OF RUM WAR
%SmugglerS
and u. S. Forces
Keep Up Strife

Ell PASo. Tex, Jan. Tho
northern bank of the Rio Grande
has become the battle front Of the
southwest's rum war.
It is the scene Of weekly, even
daily gun fights between liquor
smugglers and government forces.
Revolution on the OTHER side OF
the international border may come
and go. but the booze clashes on
the American side go on i%ncessantly.
Twenty-one men have been slain
and 20 wounded in clashes with
liquor runners within a few miles
OF El I'aso since the Volstend act
became offectice.
And these figures do not include
ONE smugglers known 10 have
been killed. but whose names newer
have been recorded officially. And
how many moro smugg ers may
have crawled home to die. after
"run-ins" with Uncle Sans agents,
is difficult to ascertain,
The murder of Dave Orr. n pro
hibition agent. and Frank Clark.

hours has aroused the apathy Of
FL Paso citizens.
a new cry. Get the man back of
the bo%otlegger.' has gone up.
Every case Of suggled liquor IS
bathed in blood says George j..
Harris, district supervisor OF the
federal immigration service.
THE man for whose money tho
smugglor risks his life is as much
to blame as the smugglor himself.
The responsibility really is his"
Taking this stand, the government
has arrested several purchasers OF
contrabrand "hooch" on charges Of
eonepiracy to violate the prohibi-
ton laws.
Hundreds OF smugglers arc wad-
ing across the river daily and night
~ with booze obtained in Mexico,
Most Of the traffic. however. is car.
ried on under cover Of darkness.
Life is cheap to these men. most
~ Mexicans. They know the risk
they are taking. but they go nhead'
with # just tho same.
Walk down near tho smelter. Sit.
ting under the yellow-leafed trees
on the cd Hart estate. an ancient
Spanish domain you will see a little
group Of Mexicans sasking in the
sun.

guorouseyed man, sombrero pulled
low over his eyes. He is sumter
ing along beside his two burros
laden with juniper knots to sell.
But that is n day time Illusion.
With the fall OF darkness. this man
goes TO work. His friends all leave
the plaza for more arduous duties.
"Hole-in-the Wall" is another rem
desvous for the smuggiers. It's on
tho Mexican side of the river, yet
American territory. It's about five
miles from the village Of Fabens,
Texas.
There are a few adobe houses and
a drinking place or two. But
"Hole-in-the-Wall" is a center for
smugglers.
Government agents admit they're
practically. helpless. There is not
enough OF them.
So tho smugglers arc having
things pretty much their own way.
And the fighting still goes on
down along this battle front in the
southwcst's run

THE PILGRIMS
BY Charles Erwin

Faithful was a little English girl
who was six years old She lived in
little village of England in a pretty
little cottage with rosebushes grow
ing all around it, Her home was COM
Portable and coy but she did not like
the village in which she lived
The king of England made these
people go to church there and they
did not like it, SO they tried to wor-
ship God by themselves and the king
did not like that. So Faithfuls father
always talked of going to the New
World to live.
One day Faithfuls father came
home and said that they must get
ready and leave for America. They
packed everything they had in big
boxes even the big spinning wheel.
One hundred Pilgrims stood on
the deck of the "Mayflower" and said
goodbye to the green shores of Eng.
land.

1t was long journey in cold wealth
er over the sea- The Atlantic Ocean
is 5000 miles wide. Today we cross
in steamships in a week or less. But
years ago it took them more than
two months. They also took a good
supply of needles and thread because
you couldn buy anything in the
wilderness of America.
When they got here they did not
have any cottages to live in, so they
had to cut down big trees to make
huts. Doors were made of ax-hewn
boards, and the windows were cover
ed with thick oiled paper. the straight
logs were split and laid for floors
The blacksmith swung long iron bars
in the chimneys to hang cooking pots
over the fire. Then the "Mayflower''
sailed back home
The Indians were very good to the
white people. They brought corn and
showed them how to make mush and
hominy, they showed them how to
make corn grow by putting fish
undea each hill for fertilizer.
In the summer Faithful and her
brother found all kinds of fruits and
in the fall there we're nuts of many
kinds.
A woman taught them how to read,
write, and spell and do sums.
Once in many months a sailing yes
sci brought them things from Eng
land and when it sailed back it
took furs of bears and beavers
and foxes to sell in London.
Other people of different nationals
ties came to live in America but
Faithful never saw them because they
were too far apart
