at 1920 p. m. central standard time
Tuesday and press dispatches from
there said he was enroute to the
United States by way Of Browns
vile.
The Lone Eagle issued a short
terse statement here and refused
to elaborate on it in any way and
he also refused to reveal where he
had spent the night. He had camp
ing equipment in his plane and it
was believed he had spent the
night on ranch in Mexico be-
tween here and Tampico.
Il regret very much that the
press has seen fit by unauthorized
reports to cause unnecessary anx-
iety for my safety"

publication. AS he climbed into his
plane to leave the port here he
laughingly told attendants that
when he returns again he will tell
them where he spent Tuesday
night.

he had told reporters there that
he was leaving for IAN unannounc-
ed destination" and that he had
not indicated that he was "enroute
to the United States by way of
Brownsville" He said he had not
intended to fly beyond the borders
Of Mexico that night.

the airport he was rested as
though he had enjoyed a good
nights sleep but he was hungry
and ate a hearty breakfast at the
home Of Les Mauldin, airport
manager.
In discussing the excitement
which had been caused by his fail
ure to arrive at any airport in the
United States he indicated he might
disappear in short time for three
or four days, but this would be
no indication that anything was
wrong.
His plane was checked over by
airport attendants and was refuel-
ed. The motor was found in per-
feet condition as was all parts Of
the plane. About enough fuel to
make a flight from Mexico City to
Brownsville had been consumed, at
tendantS said.
Lights at the airport here and at
several places in the United

Antonio, were kept burning
throughout the. night and anxious
