Captain Calles
Fought Six Men
Single Handed
Soraerton. Ariz. May 29. The first
apparently authentic account of the
affray in which Ca.pt. Carlos G. Calles
lost his life mar 13. at San Luis a
Mexican post he had commanded just
across the international line has been
received.
At night six men. commanded bv
Enrique Peralta entered the village
while the Calles garrison slept. Calles
ana nis men msned for the guard
houe and were repelled by a fusillade
that appears to have driven most of
the unarmed regulars northward
across the line to safety Calles
though appreciating he had been
abandoned still hoped for reinforce-
ments and returned to his quarters
and till moraine: Kept up a single
handed fight with the invaders.
At daybreak. Calles sallied out. ap
parently thinking the invaders had
gone with the light. But a deadly
tire was smarted upon him at once oy
tne six wno had entrenched them-
selves nearby Calles. with two bul
lets in his bodv walked steadily to
ward the ambushed enemy then fir-
ing the last two cartridges that re-
mained in his automatic pistol he
called upon his enemies to come out
into the open and not to skulk ilke
cowards. He dropped with a bullet
in the head but the fatal wound
through the brain was not received
for several minutes thereafter
The Invaders at once lugged the
body away to bury it in a hastily dug
grave observing to the townfolk that
Calles was the hardest man to kill
that ever had been known The cap-
tain's widow came from Tucson for
the body but was refused bv Peralta.
The affair appears to have some
connection with the summary execu-
tion bv Calles. several months ago.
of several Mexican soldiers alleged
to hae been captured near Somertou
and taken back over he line. For
this Caller had been arrested under
Amrlcan laws and he bad been held
In Yuma under bond for trial In the
next term of superior court. He was
related to P Ellas Calles one of the
leader In the successful Mexican
revolution

ANOTHER WASHOUT TIES UP
TRAFFIC ON SANTA FE ROAD
Albuquerque N Mu May 29 Traf-
fic on the Santa Fe line between El
Paso and Albuquerque was further
.tied up today by a washout near
Socorro Stub passenger trains which
were being run to San Harctal where
two miles of track are under water
had to be discontinued.
This tied up traffic on the branch
line from Socorro to stagdaleua. Traf-
fic to El Paso is being detouxed to
Vaughn and from thert. over the
tracks of the Hock Island.
Th Rio Grande was reoorted sev

"Well. said Obregon "the German

abrupt accent said to me. 'General. I
have read your book and I need two
copies of It one for my emperor and
the other for the archives of the Ger
man general staff. The people back
In Berlin are ranch Interested In yon.
Thev are astounded that a nlain civil
ian without military training has
been able to conduct such noteworthy
and original campaigns."
"1 suppose you gave him the
books''
"No I don't care for honors like
that. I told him he could find them
in the book stores. If he wanted them.
And I suppose he bought them and
sent them on home."
What a farceur that shrewd Ger-
man was!
From Berlin to Toklo.
The hero doubtless remembered my
hatred of German militarism so. to
emphasise his impartially he jumped
to the far east.
"The Japanese minister also asked
my permission to translate the book
into Japanese. My campaigns seem
to have aroused a good dealtof Inter-
est over there."
"Has the translation appeared yetT"
I Inquired.
"I don't know. I don't bother about
such matters"
A long silence. I sat looking some-
what diaconcertedly at this man so
complex. Tor all of his primitive sim-
plicity who alarms you at one mo-
ment by his craftiness and at the
next astonishes you by his complete
ingenuousness.
Nevertheless he Is the most popular
and most feared man in Mexico the
man everywhere most talked about.
Some people love him to the extent
that they would die for him. Oth-
ers hate hint and would like to kill
htm as they remember the barbarous
outrages he ordered In the early days
of the triumphant revolution actu-
ated by some perverse whim of his
very original character.
Appeals to People
Obregon appeals to the multitude
for his somewhat rustic frankness
his good ua tared wickedness and his
rather brutal gayety. He has besides
the nrestiae of a courage which no
one questions and of an aggressive
ness in a pincn. nice mat ox a wiia

has lost an arm.

Mexico such things are more impor-
tant than elsewhere. The people in

without knowing why are very sen-
timental and easily moved to tears.
Mexicans Rive up their lives with
the greatest Indifference and for any-
body at nIL At the name time they
will weep at the slightest annoyance
occasioned to one of their loved
heroes. The Mexican populace de-
scends front the Asters those mag-
nificent gardeners who lovingly cul-
tivated flowers and at the same
time tore the hearts out of a thou-
sand living prisoners at each of their
religious festival. Poetry and blood.
sentimentality ana a earn;
V Likeness of Santa Ana.
There are precedents for thla Gen.
Santa Ana was an Obregon in his
day Though the latter has never
been president as yet. the former
reached tne preeiaency several times
through uprisings or manipulated
elections.
The Mexican people hated Santa
Ana after his unsuccessful campaign
against the secessionists who had
established a republic in Texas. The
Texans defeated his army and made
him prisoner
However at that moment it oc
curred to the French government of
Louis Philippe to send a military ex-
pedition Into Mexico to enforce some
diplomatic demands and. French sol-
diers disembarked in Veracruz. Santa
Ana rushed to oppose them and the
last shot the invaders fired hit him
in the leg and the surgeons had to
amputate It.
Sever dM a popularity rise to such
pure and exalted height. nnla
Ana's leg. properly plekled. was
taken from Aeraerux to Mexico City
with a great guard of honor. The
government bestowed on the ampu-
tated limb the honors of a cnptnln
general killed In battle ami In the
midst of triumphal pageantry the
booming of cannon and the music of
bands. It was buried In the renter of
thv elty under a great monument.
Kick 'Em Wheat They're Down.
However reversals of opinion and
sudden waves of inger must be
looked for In sentimental peoples.
Tears later Santa Ana went to war
with the United States over the Texas
affair. The campaign went against
him and the Americans took Mexico
City.
The people needed to vent its
wrath on somebody and since It
could not get its hands on Santa Ana
it tore down the monument dedicated
to his heroic leg paraded the un-
fortunate bone through the streets
of the city and finally threw It Into
a dung heap.
Obregon spoke to me about a
friend of his. a newspaper man some
of whose articles were worthy of
admiration. "He is ill said the gen
eral "and practically dying. He has
been in bed for several months. He
would be delighted if you would pay
him a visit."
Fled to Keep His Freedom.
The general and I agreed to go
together
"I am going to see the silver mines
at Pacbuca tomorrow." I said. I
shall be away two days."
"wnen yon come Daca l anaii stui
be here" said the general "All that
talk about the old man's prosecuting
me and putting me In jail Is just
music We shall see each other. Pit
give you ray book and we'll go and
see my friend "
When I got back the general had

The Bootlegger's
Dream
The ooollegger is always dreaming
somebody is chasing him. Maybe
so. Up on the Canadian border
the bootleggers are using hot Water
bottles strapped to their back 1
shift booze across the line. What
a lot of trouble some men go to.
Hot Water bottles Were made to
keep people Warm. Winter suits
are made to eep people warm. A
lot of people are bootlegging heat
around in last winter's clothes.
This is foolish. Come io me and
let me make you cool in a good
summer suit. If you wish cheap
clothes I have not got them. If you
wish expensive clothes I have not
got them. If you wish genuinely
good clothes at the lowest bed-rock
price then it is a Fischbein suit you
are yearning for.
