lUAREZ E ram
OF MISSING MEN
JUAREZ, Mexico.—This is the
port of missing men. Many Ameri
cans have crossed the shaky, wooden
bridge to this little adobe town who
have been never seen or heard of
again. The files of the United
States consulate here are filled with
letters from mothers, wives and
other relatives asking for informa
tion about men who have disappear
ed somewhere in Mexico.
Many were killed fighting with
the various revolutionary forces dur
ing the six years’ war. Others were
murdered for their money on the
Calle Diablo-Street of the Devil—or
were killed by bandits who rove over
the country enforcing the law of the
six-shooter. Still others are living
out their lives in some mountain
settlement under assumed names, of
ten with native families.
Tom Kingsberry’s name was the
latest addition to the long list of
those men “missing in Mexico”.
Kingsberry was foreman for the
Palomas Land and Cattle company
of Los Angeles. He left for an in
spection of the cattle ranches west
of here and has not been heard
from since. Mexicans here whisper
of a fued existing between the Pala
mas cowboys and the Jose Ynez Sal
azar’s band of outlaws. Salazar was
killed at the headquarters ranch of
the Palomas company. That was
where Kingsberry disappeared a year
later.
For months the body of an Ameri
can swayed in the wind suspended
from a telegraph pole at Rancheria,
south of here. He was caught dyna
miting bridges and hanged by the
federal railroad guards. He was
never identified. Many Americans
are known to have been executed in
the cemetery on the hill. Few were
given an opportunity to notify their
relatives.
NOTICE

27, no sugar will be obtainable for

visit, and will remain here a few
days. While in Nenana, she will

as “Porky”, resigned his position
