"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

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

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

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

agrees on that. The older Yaipiis

light beyond that.

said a man who had been with them
in lights. "Kxeited. you know, and

have made a detour around a bridge :
that had been previously burned
down. The engine was wrecked and
the engineer killed. 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

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

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

probably within the truth to say that
