On November 2t he was released from

A TALE OF MODERN MEXICO
: Blowing Up Bridget Remunerative
Science Along the Rio Grande
Nowadays.
THESE AMERICANS TRIED IT
By EDWARD I! I, AC J
The following little episode of Mexican
border life has Just been brought back by
an Omaha man. It gives an Idea of the
opportunities awaiting young men who
can blow up brtdgea and do other odd
Job along the border.
This atory harks back to Jim McGregor
and Jo McCrary. Toor lada! I suppose
both are now working In the salt mines
down In Mexico. McGregor was game
from the crown of hie hat to th aoles of
his shoe. When the American conaul
of Nogalea called upon him In Jail and
Inquired If there waa any comfort he
craved, b told the consul to take car
of MoCrSry. McGregor waa responalM
for th situation and ha did not want to
evade any responsibility.
McGregor was a sort of a tramp. He
happened Into Nogales, Arts., on a rslny
day and met McCrary In a bar. They
agreed to blow up a bridge for the Mexl
cans for Its. They did the work, returned
to th American aide and were enjoying
their wealth, when they were kidnaped
snd taken serosa ths line. So much for
Jim and Joe.
Tom Carrowsy, an electrician, and J. C
Wllaon and J. R, Mclnery, youths of for
tune and misfortune, were In Nogales st
th time. They met three Mexican who
were In the employ of the Carranslsts
faction. These three Americans agreed"
to blow up a stone bridge.' half a mile
south of Nogalea, for $M0. The three
Mexlcana engaged another Mexican to
se that th work waa properly executed
A man named Carlson drove the auto
mobile which conveyed th thre Amer
icana and their Mwxlean .overseer to a
point about 2K yards Inalds the American
line and near what is known as Monu
merit J1S.
(arlaoa the Trailer.
Carroway, Wilson and Mclnery had
sgreed among themselves to put up a
Job; that they would not blow up lh
bridge at all, but would prepare some
fake bomb snd msks a nola which
would give the- Impression that th stono
brldga had gone up, then get the money
and vamoose back to Kokomo. They
were unmindful sll this time that Carl
son, th chauffeur, was to r their
traitor, for Carlson was In ths employ of
the Vllllstss.
It was Just about dusk. Carroway re
mained In ths automobile with Carlson
and ths Mexican, while Wilson and Mc
lnery took the alleged bomb and walked
about half a mile away, keeping within
the American lines. When dsrkness set
In. Wilson and Mclnery set off eight
sticks of dynamite In a gulch and then
returned to the automobile. In the;
gulch they hid a lot of explosives and a
aaok which afterward proved1 to be Im
portant evidence for the government.
When Wilson and Mclnery returned to
th automobile Carlson pretended that
the car would not move. ITe then ex
cused himself, ssylng he had left his coat
st a nearby point, whereas ha really went
after thirty Vllllata soldiers who quickly
responded and surrounded the automo
bile, this being part of the plot. The
whole party was placed under arrest,
Carlson assuming ths role of injured In
nocence. Th three American bridge
blowers at first protested, saying they
had not been away from American ter
ritory, but when th soldiers were lined
up In a firing position, Wilson, who could
spesk Spanish, advised his companions
to accept th situation with grace.
All Three Jailed.
Carroway, Wilson and Mclnery were
placed In Jail at Hcrmoilllo and It was
several weeks before the American con
aul could get to them. They were given
several thlnV-degres treatments and their
Jail was underground with small peep
holes. On dsrk night Carrowsy was
taken out to a cemetery and ordered to
stand at Uie aid of an open grave while
a firing squad stood at attention. Th
colonel, formerly a plssterer, asked Car
roway to whom h wished bis watch and
Uks pin sent and also aaked the names
and addresses of his nearest kin. Car
roway aays he really hsd despaired of
this life, but th colonel told Carroway
he would not shoot him that night. Then
tbey took Mclnery out and aaked him
if h would like to see Carroway, adding
that Carroway was under th sod. Mc
lnery believed It
la the course of events a representative
of th United States district attorney's
office at Houston. Tex., visited the three
men In Jail and told them he was uncer
tain whether he would have them up for
violating the neutrality laws or hold
them as witnesses against the three Mexi
cans who hired them.
"Just get us back to ths other side
and you can hang us," replied Carroway.
(arlaoa Sticks Mexico. ,
T got thta story direct from C. E. Bren-
nlman. special representative of the
United States district attorney's office at
Houston. Tex. I met Mr. Brennlman at
Nogalea and again at Brownoa villa, lie
baa been up and down ths border for
yeara and he could a tale unfold. If he
would, that would do all of th things
uuam Hhakeapear toll about. Thla
story haa never been told la the alto
gether. Ths real situation today la that
tha three Mexlcana referred to are being
held at Tucson, Aria., on Indictments re
turned by a federal grand lurv. and
Carroway. Wilson and Mclnery are being
ueiamea aa witnesses. Carlson-well, be
i over in Mexico, and it Is better so, be
cause there are certain gentlemen who
would gladly take pot shot at 8 nor
Carlson on sight. He kaowa where he
la asfe.
Carroway 'a recital of hla experience It,
that graveyard at midnight would make
Lincoln J. Carter sit and say, "Boya, thla
la on me." Carroway. Iiy the way. U no
piker. He la an expert electrician, and
Wilson and Mclnery are rather good
scout, but you Just ask them about that
"IncommUQU-kdur" and they will tell you
that onoe will suffice.
The engagement of tha three Americana,
th plot and counter-plot, the arrest by
Carlson's soldiers and all of th reat, was
within American territory, but the
"wrecking crew'' was hustled down to
HermoatUo, to a dungeon under ground,
with aanltary conditions that ae beyond
the pale of even newspaper license.
Biased aaaalah Parent.
Carroway aaya he waa as certain of
death that night as of anything be could
think of. Ha aaked tobe allowed to pray
aa ha stood over th open grave, with the
firing squad silhouetted against the dis
tant gloom. He waa an Elk. and a man of
nerve. He said ha waa prepared to die.
He waa mad to alga some papers written
In Spanish, which he could not under
stand. And poor M.Oregor and McCrary they
aie somewhere probably down In th salt
mines. Thry got their lift, they blew up
a bridge. There Is lots of money down
here blowing up brtU.'es and thinga
WILSON SEES HEW
ERA OF PROSPERITY
President Again Makes Confident
Prediction of Approaching
Good Timet.
OPEN WAY FOR BUSINESS NOW
WASHINGTON, Jan. to. Another
confident prediction that the country
soon will enter upon a new era of
enterprise and prosperity waa voiced
today by President Wilson In a speech
before tha convention of the Amer
ican Electric Railway association.,
Speaking to business men and through
thona n tha vnrti nf hualnoaa .nal-11tr
the , president outlined what th demo
cratic congress haa tried to accomplish
tlirnueh Ita trust lea-falatinn mtA ArmrA
that while a test period would be re
quired to determine whether the correct
remedy had been applied, he believed th
"mase of Interrogation points" which hsd
checked enterprise for twenty yeara had
been cleared away.- -
With a common understanding regard
ing business reached he aald. henceforth
nobody la arcing to be suspicious of any
business Just because It Is big. He gave
some of the "rule of the game" which
he thought ought to be followed, heading
the list with publicity "not doing any
thing under cover."
Haras Fade A war.
"I hsve always maintained that the
only way In which men could understand
ona another was by meeting one another,"
said the president. "If I believed all that
I read In the newspapers, I would not
understand anybody. I have Mt m.nv
men whose horns dropped sway the mo
ment i waa permitted to. examine their
character.
"If seems to mo thst I csn say with a
good deal of confidence, thst we ar upon
th ev of a new era of enterprise and
of prosperity. Enterprise has been
checked In this country for almost twenty
years, because men were moving amongst
a maxe of Interrogation points.
'They did not know what was going to
bsppen to them. All sorts of regulations
wore proposed, snd It wss a matter of
uncertainty what sort of reauiatinn .
g )ing to be adopted. All aorts of charges

"Borne men are going to set beaten
because they have not the brains; they

they have not the same capacity that
ether men have," the president said.
"They will have to be employes; they
will have to be used where they can be
used. We do not need to conceal from
ourselves that there are varieties of ca

In freedom of speech, the president said:
"I have been subjected to free speech
myself and It is hard to endure some

seems to be the clearing house for original
