r > ' MEXICANS REFUSE RANSOM Negro Ranch Overseer Slill Hold by / Salazar's Rami. El Paso, Feb. 20.?Joso Ynez, Salazar refused to accept the check drawn on E. K. Warren & Sons, for $r>.0<Jo. and Ed "Hunk" Spencer, the negro ranch overseer, and his Mexican wife are still being held as hostages at the Ojitos ranch in Mexico, a representative of the Warren interests here said today. Spencer and his wife were made prisoners by Salazar's troops at Ojitos after the raid on the Corner ranch, near Hachita. Salazar feared the check was a part of a scheme to capture his men, it was said, and it was understood he demanded the money in gold. As far as could be learned, Spencer and his wire aro safe. It was also learned that two Americans from Land's ranch, on the American side of the border, west of the Corner ranch, were pursued for five miles by Mexican raiders Saturday and escaped by hard riding across the border after being fired at. A few of the products that can he obtained from soy beans are as follows: Meal, flour, glycerine. enamel, waterproofing material, lineleum, soft soap, hard soap and soap chips. Financial !
