ers when Smith and Billings were shot
At the end of the baseball season
two years ago. Aitken was, prevailed
upon by his uncle. Bat-on Smith, of
Houston, to take a position on the tat
ter's big ranch about JO miles north
west of Mexico City. Smith bad just
which aggregated 46,KH acres of fine I
land.
The farm prospered, despite the revo
lution, for both warring factions seemed
-j overlook the farm up in the moun
tains. About two months ago. Smith,
with Roscoe Billings, an American, and
four Mexicans, were riding herd on 750
fine cattle, mostly prime yearlings,
when a party of Carrancistas rode up.
Rinlsted the Raid.
Just what happened in the next hour
is pretty hard to say but there was
some shooting. The Carrancistas rep
resented to Aitkin that the shooting:
had been started by Smith when he was
told that the cattle had been taken over
bv the Carranza government. Others
who had watched the trouble, told
Aitkin that the trouble really started
when one of the soldiers shot down
one of the herders who refused to obey
an order Anyway, there was a small
sized battle, in whicn Smith and his
party killed three of the soldiers.

A Remedy
For ASS Pain
The efflclencx of any drag" says Dr. C.P
HobbtDs,ii known to us by tbe re salts we
obtain from Its nse. If wo are able to con
trol pain and disease by means of any pre
paration, -we certainly are warranted In its
use. One of the principal symptoms of all
diseases Is pain, and this Is what the patient
most often applies to ns for, . e. somethlnz
to relieve his pain. If we can arrest this
promptly, the patient Is most liable to trust
in ns lor the other remedies which will effect
a permanent cure. One remedy which I
hare used lareely In my practice Is Antl
kamnla Tablets. Many and varied are their
uses. I have pnt them to the test on many
occasions, and have never been disappoint
ed. I found them especially valuable for
headaches of malarial orlaln, where quinine
was belnc taltexu They appear to prevent
the bad after-effects of the Quinine. Anti
serum! la Tablets are also excellent for the
headaches from Improper digestion: also
tor headaches of a neuralgic origin, and es
pecially for women subject to pains at certain
prompt reUef.andlnashort time the patient
u able to goaoout as usual." These tablets
mavbe obtained at all drncsists. Ask for
A-K Tablets. They are also unexcelled lor
headaches, neuralcla and all pains.
party Aitkin says the two Germans
were killed in the battle.
The soldiers then proceeded on to
the ranch headquarters and found
Aitkin and several Mexicans there. "I
fully expected to be shot when I heard
what had happened," he declared, "but
they satisfied themselves that I had
not been mixed up in the fight. They
ordered me to strip, took my clothes
and four other suits I had on the place
and told me to beat it. I had my un
derclothes and was lucky to have
them.
Took VII on Place.
"They took all the light horses for
cavalry but we had some fine farm
stock which was too heavy for the sol
diers so they took them out of the
stables and shot them. They looted the
place and then 'burned the buildings.
"I started north on foot and was
helped bv kind people at -various places.
I reached Juarez on Wednesday night
and came to El Paso where I found
friends who outfitted me with clothes
"Now I am looking for a job and hope
to get a chance in professional base
ball again. ,
"The whole matter has been referred
ro.the department of state' at Wash
ington ov my laywers but I have little
hope of getting anything back "
"For some days the Carrancistas had
been attempting to buy cattle from the
ranch." said Aitkin. "They offered us
the fmt money or promises to pay
when the" war was over, and these were
both refused and a guard was kept
oer the cattie.
"Mrs. Smith was In Mexico City at
the time of the killing of her husband,
having gene there some days pre-
1 vious.
Aitkin declares that foreigners are
j continually abused around Mexico City
ami mar ne received many reports of
killings of foreigners similar to that
which occurred at the Smith ranch,
but that he was unable to verify them.
Vot Known at Houston.
Houston. Tex, April i Nothing can
be learned here of Baron Smith, report
ed killed by Mexicans. No record could
be found that any person of that name
had lived here recently.
