LAREDO. Texas, Sept. 13.—Be
muse live American employes of Brit
ish and American oil companies in
the (iuIf oil fields of Mexico have been
murdered within six weeks, while two
others have been seriously wounded,!
the other employes of those compa
nies threaten to strike unless protec- j
lion is afforded them. This informa-!
tion comes from travelers who have;
just returned here from Tampico.
After the first four of the murders,
the travelers say, the oil employes !
held a meeting and formulated their;
demand for protection and threat of
going on strike unless It was pro
vided. A representative of the oil;
interests was sent to Washington, tint
the result of the mission was un- ,
known in Tampico when the travel- i
ers left that city.
Four of the murders referred to,
according to fragmentary reports that
have been published, were committed
at the same time, June 30, at La Fa
jeta, a point near Tampico where is
situated a terminal of the Mexican
<;,11 f oil Company. The victims were
L. A. Dunn. Oklahoma City; R. M.
Cooper, l’ortland. Ore.; L. It Millard,
Beaumont, Texas, and Alfred Espar
cla, San Francisco, in addition, a,
Mexican employe of the company, N'a
tividad Flores of Tampico, was killed
by the same bandits when they robbed
the company's office at La Cajota of
lc,000 pesos.
The fifth murder was committed
July 31. at Tepetate, south oi Tam-!
p:co, and claimed the life of A W.
Stevenson, cashier of the Texas Oil
Company. Stevenson was murdered
when he refused to turn over the com
pany's funds to the bandits.
The third pay-roll robbery, which
resulted in the serious wounding of
J li. Brooks and Charles ilorsman,
occurred June 3S in the Camion river
region. The two men, field employes
of the Aguila Oil Company, time just
been discharged from the T nipico
hospital. They were shot several
times and hacked with machetes.
According to the travelers' stories,
foreigners in the oil region are forced
to perform their work in isolated re
gions without protection, not being
permitted to carry arms. In many oi j
these outlying districts, they say,;
there is much anti-American feeling,
which is constantly inflamed by tier
man agents.
Except for one weekly paper in
Tampico, published in English, there
are no pro-ally publications in Hie oil
regions, the field being monopolized
by pro (ierman sheets, it is extremely
difficult, according to the travelers,;
to get the real facts of tile oil region
situation into print.
The Mexican government troops,
they assert, contrary to oflicial state
ments, have not succeeded in subduing!
Manuel Belas/., the rebel leader re
ported allied with the forces ot Felix
Ida/, and Celaez still continues to I
lew tribute on the companies south
of Tampico, driving away an> gov
ernment troyps that might attempt to
hinder his operations

That the introduction of reindeer |

by the company.
THREW HIS LOCOMOTIVE
AT BONGH OF HUES
PARIS. Sept. 13.—George Robert
son of the Railway Engineers is
wearing the Croix de Guerre for in
genuity in utilizing one of the most
i.u\el weapons of the war.
During the recent German drive an
American unit of engineers wus haul
lug ammunition and supplies up to
the French lines. Just us the Ger
mans began to get too near for com
fort. Robertson’s huge American loco
motive ran off the truck. He had to
have It. Hut before evacuating he
screwed down the safety valve and
turned on the oil fuel supply into the
firebox
About twenty minutes later, while
sixty Germans were standing around
the engine. It happened.
The boiler blew up with a tremen
dous roar. So far as the Germans
were concerned it had the name ef
fect as a half dozen well placed shells.
