CAPTAIN MATLACK | KNOWS NO FEAR Daring Cavalry.Leader Is Tesror to Bandits on Mexican Border. " - ANSWERS THREAT WITH snor Ability for Coping With Banditry Led . to Speedy Promotion From Ser- geant to Captain During Four Years. ! San Antonio, - Tex.—Capt. Leonard ' J. Matlack, commander of Company K, Eighth United States: cavalry, is to- i day the most feared American that Mexican bandits have encountered on the Texas border. He is feared more than the Texas rangers, who for years were the only official guardians of the peace in that remote counntry. His men are of the fighting, daring type, but Captain Matlack’s desire to go it alone when handling difficult situa- tions has struck terror to the hearts of Mexican evildoers who are learning not to commit offenses in country where he is known to be stationed. When Captain Matlack went to Candalaria, Tex., four years ago, he was a sergeant. He took station with his company at a small, isolated com- munity on the banks of the Rio Grande. They soon found themselves tn a hotbed of banditry, which Mat- lack detérmined must be cleared. Matlack Clever and Daring. * Matlack found that the leader of the bandit crew in San Antonio was Chico Cano, a former captain in the Carran- ga army. Matlack visited San Antonio alone at different times and met Cano, informing him that unless he ceased his lawless practices he would meet a sudden death. It was not long after that Cano attempted a rald and got several hundred cattle. Matlack took up the trall, recovered the cattle, killed Cano and drove the cattle back into Texas. In like manner he met and killed a brother of Jesus Renterias, the ban- dit leader who held the aviators, Davis and Peterson, in captivity, pending the payment of ransom money. It was Matlack who outwitted the Mexican bandits when he went alone to rescue Peterson and Davis and escaped with |- half the ransom: money, inviting death for himself and the aviators. Takes Long Chances. On one occasion Matlack and his men were surrounded by an overwhelming force. of Mexicans. Instead of mak- ing a stand to fight, as the bandits ex- pected, Matlack ordered a charge,.rode down the Mexicans and killed 85 .of thelr numbg;,., Matiagh's men suffered one slight ¢asuslty. Not long after this a ecattle: ranch near Candajaria was raided. Matlack | Mexicans and recovered ‘the cattle. Later Matlnck went back to look for tiiore cattle. '~ While ‘Hie” ‘was riding around the town a shqt was fired from an adobe house. The bpllet went wild, Matlack boldly kicked In the door. of the house and killed the Mexican who had fired at him. In virtually every en- counter with Mexicans Matlack has taken long chances, but he has always gotten his man. PR BRI Battling Owls Make Kansas Streets Unsafe Republic, Kan.—The streets of this town are unsafe for pedestrians after dark on ac- count of the nightly battles be- tween large flocks of owls. Re- maining. in the trees during the day, they swarm about like lo- custs at night and have become so numerous and viclous that they attack human beings. It is unsafe for women and children to venture out after dark. In several instances. persons have been struck on the head and rendered unconscious. One woman was painfully hurt by a direct attack from an owl which she had tried to ward off with an umbrella. Steps are being taken by the authorities to rid the city of its strange pests. Such a condition, it is said, was never known here before, although owls have al- ways been numerous in this sec- tion of the state.

Q. If the national guard will be called upon to answer strike calls is it fair to ask a union man to belong? A. The national guard will with- out doubt be called upon to protect property in case of strikes in this vicinity but the supporters jof organ- ized labor well realize that it is as much to their interests as to the in- terests of employers that property be kept undamaged and rowdyism suppressed. Too often wanton de- struction of property, alleged to have been encouraged by the strikers, while in reality it was the work of men not connected with the strike, has so changed public sentiment that the strike was a failure. No strike can be successful without public sentiment back of it and public sen- timent awill not stand for ‘property destruction and riots. The protection that s given by a national guard ¥ is as much in the interests of ;. th "Qmployees as the employers. 4N Q. “there any expense connect- ed longing to the guard? here should be nome.
