W ' i v i "POOR HUNTED HANDIT." Down in Mexico City Villa look.* vague and intangible?about as much of a danger as the act of God mentioned in the insurance policies writes Herbert Corey. From Mexico City Villa seems to be merely a poor hunted bandit, flying wildly over leagues of rock and sage bush with an implacable federal army panting on his heels. Obregon said lie did not amount to much. Obregon. by the way, is a tine phrase maker. That's tine?in Mexico City. Hut it once took only 4 8 hours to run through from the City of Mexico to r.1 i UNO, I exun, n iiiimu a cnuiiKe 01 curs- Nowadays it takes live days if you play In the very host of lurk. The distance is 1.221 miles. At "< ') miles from the City of Mexico the Pullman car is taken off?there is no economy in subjecting expensive Pullman cars to the usages of a bandit like Villa?and you jiggle ami stop and start and run backward and finally make a wild, panting, breathless dash for the next station from that time on. The farther Into Villa's t? rritory you get the more decomposed Is the railway equipment. lit tin end you discover yourself in a car that is only tit to he sent to a rummage sale for the prosperous Heigh, us. So there you are. The first miles are covered in 36 hours in a Pullman ear. That gets you to Torreon. It isn't so long ago that Villa came to Torreon?and took that town wide apart and left its wheels on the road ?and the town still remembers it. When you leave Torreon you tiiul yourself imbedded in the moth euten railway ear hereinbefore referred to. A 1 i ii 1 i*i*e?> lu v.m .'..lit.' ti. ?i .a ?i I ion tile train invariably pausing some distance outside the town to eye the village like a frightened ga/ello before making up its mind to go on. Indian women pensively srrateh their loads and offer food from the liaskits they carry when the train get* into the station. You get outside to stretch your legs and llml the train consists mostly of freight cars tilled with soldiers. Casually a Mexican army carries Its women with it. Imt not when it is eiig: god in guarding a train from Villa. That is stern business. Most of the soldiers are little Yaqui Indians. Some of them do not look to be more than It to 15 years old. 1 saw a pair of these boy soldiers playing tug ' with each other. dressed in full equipment, carrying rifles, and screaming like any other little hoys v 1 en they play tag. I tut the kids tight like the very devil. Kvery one agrees on that. The older Yaipiis tight to the last drop, but the boys light beyond that. "They cry, the poor little devils," said a man who had been with them in lights. "Kxeited. you know, and i la.vbe scared. Hut they never qui' I I'e sure of that."

The bandits himmoned the soldiers guarding the train to surrender. Not one of them did. There were 60 Yaquis in the ?tecl coal flats that serve for armored 2ars down this way upon occasion, and not a Yaquis surrendered. "Finally there were but 16 left in ?.ne car," said an eyewitness, "and .. uuuuii mippcu uiongsiuo Willi a hand srecuile and threw it In. fc very ?ii**n wuc killed." Carrion crows were still seen as the train crept by. Every little while one sees a cross by the roadside where a soldier has died defending the road. Sometimes there are ritle pits marking the site of a well defended engagement. Everywhere? certainly once each half mile, on an average?-is Mte rusted frame that is al. that is loft of a burned car. Twisted rails strew the right-of-way. The stations were once well built affairs of white stone. The better they were the more certain they were of demolition. The hacienda that is quite untouched Is a curiosity. No latter pasturage can be found in the world than on these hills, but then* are no cattle or horses. Sometinu s a few goats may he seen. Anietop.* and deer are often sighted 'coin the train windows. chihuahua City is the center of the best mining district In the world. Hut not more than 15 per cent, of the mir.es are in operation, aeeording to t o estimate of a mining engineer of years' acquaintance with the Held. The States of Ourungo. Coahtiilu anil Chihuahua are tapped by this line of read. They hurst with riches. It is probably within the truth to say that every township in them lias paid tribute in Villa within the la it few years. No one knows his whereabouts just now ? not to a kilometer at least; there is plenty of information as to where he is supposed to In?hut no one knows when he will come hack.
