RENSSELAER, INDIANA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1911

VISITED THE CAMPS OF MEXICAN REBELS

L. A. Harmon and Oscar Banter Brought Many Pictures Home From the Seat of War. DL A. Harmon and Oscar Hauter returned home Wednesday from an 11-day trip to the Rio Grande valley of Texas. Mr. Harmon Is the local agent for a company that Is selling lands there Their trip at this time proved of unusual interest owing to the fact that the United States has several regiments of soldiers distributed all along the border, posts being maintained at intervals of seven miles all along the American side of the river.

They crossed over into Old Mexico and visited the camps of the rebel soldiers and Mr. Harmon brought home a large collection of photographs, which tell a story of conditions there which can not be related in type.

There is much more fighting going on all of the time, says Mr. Harmon, than would be judged by the accounts published from day to day in the American newspapers. The rebels under Carranza and Villa are in undisputed possession of the north part of Mexico and are pushing toward the south. Since the embargo op arms was raised and the rebels can now get arms and ammunition from the United States they are well pleased and cheerful and confident that the constitutionalist cause will prevail. They think President Wilson i« a great man because he raised the embargo on arms and they like the rifles that are coming across, the border.

The federal troops who fled across the river during the battle of Ojinaga, are still being fed by the United States and their rifles and ammunition belts are piled in great lreaps upon the ground. Wounded soldiers are treated in open camps. The dead are piled in heaps and burned. Some times a dead federal officer is buried with one arm protruding from the top of the grave, there to decay exposed to the elements. The arm is called his monument.

The Mexican peons are not very far above the animals In intellect or mode of living. The women follow their roving husbands who are in the army and put up uttth all of the hardships of camp life. Many babies are bom in the open camps and Mr. Hannon was told that about 100 babies are born each day to the wives of the soldiers. Many of the women wore scarcely nothing, while 'the children are frequently stark naked.

The belief that the United States will some time have to Intervene exists In Texas, tout it was probably deferred by the action of President Wilson in admitting the shipment of arms and ammunition to Mexico. The fighting* will assume a more active turn when the munitions of war are acquired toy the rebels.

United States soldiers on the border land have become wearied with their long stay there, but they are getting along nicely and there Is practically no sickness. Many of the discharged soldiers from theUnited States anny have joined the rebel forces and are used mostly as instructors In the u% of the rifles and cannon. They receive big money, about $25 per day Mexican, which is about $12.50 in American currency.

Mr. Harmon reports that the Rio Grande valley of Texas is a fertile section with a fine climate and great possibilities which are beng rapidly developed as occupied by Industrious northerners. The total expense of his trip was only about $56, the round trip homeseekers rate being about $42.75.

Notes of the Pythian Meeting.

A noticeable featuer of the Pythian district convention was that is brought back to Rensselaer a number of former residents, some of whom had not been here for inany years. Among them were the following:

Ralph Spencer, who with Billy Legg, conducted a bakery and restaurant here thirty years or more ago. The business was conducted under the firm name of Spencer & L egg and occupied a building on the site of the G. E. Murray building. IMr. Spencer married Miss Lillie Burorughs, sister of Hale Warner’s wife. She died some years ago and Mr. Spencer is now employed in Hammond by the Simplex company.. Prank Prest, who also married a Burroughs girl, was here to the convention. Only .two of the Burroughs children are now living, Candace and May, and they reside ih California. Johnnie Burroughs died several years ago.

Hallie Plypn, now of Chesterton, was one of the visitors to his old home town. He is taking a deep interest in Pythianism and his Pythagoras delineation was the best ever seen here. Dr. Aaron Wood, of Brook, was also in attendance and is the leader of the Brook band and orchestra, which played an important part in the entertainment. P.M. Kent, of Brookston, now a game warden, was here. He has been a Knight for some thirty years and took his page rank in Rensselaer.

B. & Fendlg, of Chicago, still a member of No. 82, and Simon Fendig, of Whea/tfleld, were here to attend the meeting and divided the time between the K. of P. hall and the home of their mother. Charles Robinson, of Battle Ground, was here, having been a delegate to the republican convention also. He comes from a Pythian family and his youngest brother, John, took the first degree work and a member of the Golden Jubilee Page Class.

Jim Erwin, now of Rbselawn, was In attendance. Jim has been a Pythian for many years and enjoyed the festivities very much. George Ferguson, of Wheatfleld, was also here and he is a former resident, having spent hi! boyhood days in Rensselaer. He is a son of Rev. B. F. Ferguson.

Credt for the attendance and success of the convention is largely due to the untiring work of Chancellor Commander Carl Duvall and his well organized committees. Carl is proving a worthy head for the on der and a prosperous administration is expected during his term. Editor Foresman, of Brook, one of the most active Pythians in this whole district during a time some twenty years ago, was here. His talks of Pythianism have pleased many large gatherings of Knights. Andrew Hahn, of Goodland, who some thirty years ago was just “Andy” at Remington, was here. He favors a convention held at a time of year when the weather is apt to be more pleasant for automobile travel. His idea is shared by many but has drawbacks that can hardly be overcome. In the fall all farmers are very busy harvesting their corn crop and businessmen are unable to get away from Thanksgiving until after New Years. In early February there is generally a quiet time that permits people to get away for a day. The season is not apt to be favorable from a weather standpoint, it is true, but we have to take chances in that respect. Among the 22 lodges outside of the district that were represented on the register were Pittsburg, Pa., where Rev. W. G. Winn holds membership, and Tampa, Florida, where Erastus Peacock now belongs, and G. H. McLain still holds membership in Ohio, and Ralph Sprague in Nebraska. There was also one brother present from New York. The following paragraph from the Valparaiso Messenger shows the impression those who attended from that city carried home with them: “A. H. Reading and the other members of the local K. of P. lodge are home from Rensselaer, where Tuesday they attended the sessions of the district convention. It was the largest convention ever held in the district, the attendance being 5tX). The Page Rank degree was conferred on a class of 38. The place of the next meeting will be announced after the grand lodge meeting in October.”
