Juan Cdydenas, Shot
IN Monterrey, Victim,
OldMutuzuOyOs Feud

Echoes Of the Cardenas- -Benavides
feud which for years ragged in Mata-
mOros were heard from Monterrey
when Juan y. Cardenas, one of three
three surviving Cardenas brothers,
was shot to death on the railway sta
tion platform Thursday night in that
city.
Juan n. Cardenas is the youngest
of the brothers. three of whom have
already paid with their lives the toll
Of the feud in Matamoros.
The killing of Juan NJ Cardenas il
Shrouded in mystery. He was called
from his home in Monterey shortly
before midnight Thursday on an ur-
gent message. As he walked TO the
railway station he was shot dead
and officers were unable to locate
his assailants.
The feud broke out in Matamoros
several years ago when Jose Car
denas was shot 10 death as he stood
on the market sidewalk in Mata-
moros talking with Luis Rendon,
present manager % the Matamoros
Chamber Of Commerce. Rendon was
wounded by one Of the five bullets
which were fired. the other -four
striking Carderas.
The second act in the shootings
came with rapid and relentless veng.
eance. when ID. Pedro Benavides. G5-
year old ranchman. and father
Of Pedro Benavides. who was
accused Of killing Jose Car
denas. was shot TO death 1T night as
he sat on the front porch Of his
jacal on the outskirts Of Matamoros
Juan N. Cardenas left Matamoros
after that time, coming 70 the Ameri-
can side of the river for n short
time, and later going back 10 Mat
amoros. where two Of his brothers
are still living. and then going "a
Monterrey. where he has lived up
until his death Thursday night.
The feud is supposed TO have
started several years ago when one
~ the Cardenss brothers. and one
Of the Benavides brothers were enam-
ored az the same girl in Matamoros
According to reports they agreed 20
leave the choice 70 the girl. but one
accused the other Of violating the
agreement. and brother was called
in 70 settle the dispute. which he
did by killing one Of the disagreeinr
parties.
Since then the feud has flared az
from time 10 time. with fatal re-
suits. until only few Of the once
large families are left.

MEXICO WILL
DEPORT ALL
UNDESIRAbLES
Old Regulation Re-
Gently Invoked Re-
quires Proof of Cit
izenship, Head Tax

Threes Americans. who failed "a
produce proof Of their citizenship,
and were classed as undesirables by
the Matamoros immigration officials
were deported TO the United States
as the inauguration of enforcement
of an old immigration regulation
that all foreigners in Mexico must
prove their citizenship, and pay
head tax. or be deported.
One of the three deported urged
the officers not to deport him, say
ing that he was wanted on the
American side Of the river for rob-
berry: another was charged with be-
ing disorderly in Matamoros, in ad-
dition to having no passport papers
or Identification as an American.
This regulation will apply only to
persons living in Matamoros, and not
to tourists, or visitors from the Val
ley. II indicates that all persons
living on the Mexican side of the
Rio Grande must prove their citizen
ship, and pay head tax, or be de-
ported.
In the opinion Of Alfredo L. Vega
chief of the immigration in Mata.
moros, the enforcement of this reg.
ulation, which has been on the list
Of regulations for many years, is in
compliance with a general order
from the federal headquarters. and
should result in the expulsion OF
many fugutives from justice out OF
Mexico, and back to the United
States.
AT least so per cent of the peo.
pie Of American extraction living
along the south bank of the Rio
Grande are fugitives from justice
he said. "They are escaped convicts
deserters from the army, or are
otherwise at outs with the Law in
their country. Deportation Of these
people will be a benefit TO both this
country, and 70 the United States"
All persons in Matamoros who
came from the United States are
given 4s hours in which to prove
their citizenship, and pay head tax
he said. The chief of immigration
pointed out that there are many
persons in Matamoros who claim
American citizenship when it is con.
venient. and Mexican citizenship al
other times. These will be asked "a
prove their citizenship, and will be
deported if they can not do so.
Investigation in Brownsville to-
day revealed that only one man ha:
been depoIted from Matamoros, ac
cording TO the records OF the immi
grafton office here. this man being
Ramon Garcia
He was taken into custody upor
being dcported from Matamoros. by
county officers here. and is being
held on charges Of jumping bond
and Of violation Of the Dean liquor
law.
Officers have no record Of other
dcportations from Matamoros.
