CAPTURE OP JANOS
CONSIDERED A JOKE
The federal forces on the Mexico
North Western railway south, of Clu
dad -Juarez are facing a serious prob-
lem, although there has been no serious
fighting. There are about 500 soldiers
stationed at Casa Grandes and at
points north and -west of that, city and
-west of the railroad, but since only 100
of these men are mounted the peek-a-boo
attitude of the Insurrectos causes
continual misgiving, and chases the in
fantry In and jQUt of fortified towns
"without "the satisfaction of an'engage
ment. At present there are about 300 sol
diers at and near Casas Grandes under
command of Col Rabogo, who with 300
men -went there by way of Juarez
about a -week ago. But 100 of the sol
diers now at Casas Grandes were there
- before the arrival of the 300 from the
city of Chihuahua. The towns of Janos
and Ascenclon, botbT'orf the railroad
and west of the San Pedro mining
district, are protected by a split com
pany Tinder Capt. Julio Cervantes, 50
men being in 4each town. The 100 cav
alrymen who detrained at Gallego on
the National Railways to march across
country to the line of the North West
ern, have arrived at Casas Grandes,
and are doing, the only efficient duty
In sruarding the country about
that
town. j
Return "Without Fighting.
The 200 infantrymen who marched
north and west of Casas Grandes last
week visiting Ramos and Janos re
turned Wednesday without an engage
ment. Reports of a battle between
Ramos and Janos cannot be verified in
any detail, except by an alleged news
paper telegram which was dated at the
Candelaria station, -where there is no
telegraph office. What occurred west
of the mining district was this: A
command of about 200 Insurrectos un
der Manuel Casillus. an attorney, and
sa'd to be a former professional man
of much prominence in the state, came
out of the Minaca district and played
hide-and-go-seek -with the federals
without any engagement. Casillus
succeeded in making a detour about
Casas Grandes without being discov- .
ered, and entered the district about.,;
Janos. This brought. the 200 infantry
who marched out of Casas Grandes.
The soldiers located Casillus and his
command which was fortified in the
hills.
Ask for Reinforcement!!.
learning the number of the insur
rectos, the soldiers retreated toward
Casas Grandes, and sent for reenforce
ments. More soldiers, numbering about
100, and a large body of the sure
fighting rurales joined the 200 before
their arrival at Casas Grandes, and to
gether the force proceeded north. But
when Ramos and then Janos were
reached the insurrectos had flown.
Then it was that 50 men were placed
at Janos and another 50 at Ascenclon,
due north. Slaking another detour
Casillus .and his 200 men, knowing
that the main force of the federals was
west of San Pedro, marched directly
south of Casas Grandes, and raided the
EI Rucio ranch, kidnaping the manager
and running off with 60 saddle horses.
The 331 Ruclo ranch is the properly of
the Terrazas family, and a Terrasas is
governor of the state: In addition to
this a bridge near El Rucio was burned
.t a point a few kilometers south of
Pearson, all the handcars and movable
equipment was destroyed, and the
track torn up around a curve in the
road, which at that point is only being
used for work trains engaged in the
extension of the road toward Madera.
Find No Insurrectos.
Reports of this activity directly un
der the noses of the federals brought
200 soldiers south of Casas Grandes
Monday but not an insurresto was
seen on arrival. Casillus probably pro
ceded south toward 'the main body of
the revolutionists about Minaca.
The small band under Prexedes Guer
rero, reported killed, which burned the
bridges about Guzman and caotured
Janos, receiving a Tansom for the
mayor of th'e town, has not been heard
from since. These men after captur
ing Janos proceeded rforth, and it is
believed were bound for the border of
the United States with the Intention
of purchasing better arms and ammu
nition with the money secured for the
ransom of the town's chief executive.
Capture of Janos Jofce
The capture of Janos was much of a
joke, ana the story never has been
told. The band under Guerrero, num
bering only 28 men, secured a large
quantiy of dynamite at the San Pedro
I mines. The miners say that the men
were poorly armed, and almost with
out ammunition. This dynamite -was
stuffed into capsules, forming almost
harmless little bombs .which would
explode with a terrific noise but with
little power. With this supply the band
marched on Janos, well protected by
volunteers and a few rurales, who really ,
believed the small force to be com
posed of lawless bandits operating In
the name of the revolutionists How
ever, when the dynamite "capsules be
gan to burst on the housetops, making
a racket like a Fourth of July celebra-

FAMOUS TWISTED
BBAIN MAN DEAD
"Known as Affidavit Maker7
Caldwell; Was a Verit
able Munchausen.
New York, N. T., Jan. 13. Robert
Caldwell, the "Great American Affi
davit Maker," who figured as the
principal witness in the famous Druce
will case, died here after an illness of
more than two years. He died in the
city asylum for the insane suffering
from an undefined mental and physical
disease -which Jmany months ago left
him a complete wreck without hope of
recovery.
The Druce case involved the property
and title of lord Howard De Waldel,
inherited from his father the fifth
duke of Portland.
According to alienists who had been
studying Caldwell's case he was af
fected with a "twist" of the brain
whicn made him veritably a second
baron Munchausen, differing only from
that celebrated character in that he be
lieved all the fictions of his brain,
strange and impossible though they
"were.

Austin, Texas, Jan. 13. Declaring
that In the past the occasion has been
a "Bacchanalian" revelry, and urging
that the use of the hall of the house
of representatives be withheld, repre
sentative Stamps, of TJpsaw county,
yesterday introduced a resolution in

ing the evening and it was ' a "dis
grace and should be stopped."

The Pros today refuse to admit that
they had any serious Intention of de
laying Colquitt's becoming governor,
but the declaration that he would be
sworn in by a justice of the peace, if
necessary, may have had this effect.

IN MURDER MYSTERY
Indications Now Are That

;w -rii
Albany, N. Y., Jan. 13. The police
are now working on the theory that
the murder of the Syearold unidenti
fied boy may have been committed by
a woman who was Insane or prompted
by jealosy.
As time passes without any message
from the parents of the dead boy, the
i,police are beginning to believe that
the crime may have been committed by
an orphan's guardian.
An autopsy showed that death was
due to carbolic acid poisoning. The
police have heard that a woman with
a child answering the description of
the dead boy was seen in a pharmacy
where the acid was bought last Friday.
The proprietor, however, denies that
he knows when he sold the acid or to
whom.
Relatives believe tre child wasfive

El Paso Climate
It Is Friday, the Thirteenth, But No Spots Are
In the Sunshine Here,
For Friday, the 13th, this is some
day. If Friday is unlucky, as some
of the wise ones say,., and 13 is even
more unlucky, then the combination of
the two puts the reverse English on
these signs of ill omen and makes of
it a day of days.
Born on the 13th and celebrating the
last birthday anniversary on Friday of
that date (never mind how many)
yours respectfully offers himself in
evidence as exhibit A and wishes to be
made a part of the record to prove
that there is no such an animal as ill
luck, at least not iir- El Paso. All of
Tom Lawson's prognostications to the
contrary, Friday the 13th is as lucky
as any other' day in the calendar year
and this day and date, Friday, Janu
ary 13th, 1911, A. D, is proof positive
of this fact.
Climate Not Affected.
To quote the Russian countess ;the
"cleemet" is the best ever. How could
one be unlucky in such a climate This"
in itself is luck. For latitude, longi
tude, deep sea soundings and aerial
altitude the "made in El Paso" brand
of climatic broadcloth has the call.

The reduction plant of the city's

mayor Kelly, aldermen Clayton, Hewitt

bids for" the plants were accepted. "
Tjhe change of location 'from Chami

the desire of city officials to begin

city, as the bonds -issued' for the re

The great outdoors, their godgiven

Convention at Tacoma Will
Inaugurate National As
sociation. x
FIVE STATES ARE
ALREADY IN LTN1
Tacoma, Wash., 'Jan. 13. The suffra
gist convention which will open tomor
row in this city Is to be the nucleu
of a national organization of the en
franchised women of the United States
with the avowed purpose of extending
help to their less fortunate sisters ol
the east and south
The recent enfranchisement of the
women of the state of Washington has
added to the ranks of women voters In
this country a sufficient number of en
thusiasts to make such an organization
feasible, and a determined effort will
be made to enrol a membership, which,
by reason of the prominence of those
interested as well as- by Its numbers,
will command national Tespect.
"Heretofore,", said exgovernor Brady,
of Idaho, one of the most ardent ad
vocates of equal suffrage in the west.
the "suffragette" has been a mark for
the shafts of ridicule. Her fight against
man's oppression has been held up to
popular prejudice by those who, either
from personal interest or ignorance
have conceived a rabid, antagonism,
for the cause.
To Organize for Flgjht.
"The object of the coming: convention
Will be to organize into one body en
franchised suffragists and their sup
porters. These suffrage enthusiasts
have hitherto fought their battles un
der the flag of small organizations and
societies,. widely scattered throughout
the west and, it is needless for me to
point out that1 the effects ,of such a
procedure could not be otherwise than
unsatisfactory.
"With a national enfranchised or
ganization at their backs ready to fur
nish the statistics of actual experience
to doubters, the efforts of the suffra
gettes to get a 'square deal' at the
hands of the male population of the
United States will take a different as
pect. The voices of the exponents of
equal suffrage will be united and will
voice such demands for the rights of
down trodden women that those in
power can no longer afford to sneer at
their demands."
Delegates from the five states now
granting women equal suffrage Wy
oming; -Colorado, Utah,,. Idaho and
Washington will be appointed by their
governors. The National Woman's Suf
frage association ha3 .statecp througb
