The club was formed in 1885, and the next year Louis Hospes producti a, bottle of rare wine, Thirty four men singing an old battle song, clasped hands above the bottle and agreed that when all but one had died the survivor would drink the Nquor as a toast to the departed. Thirty-nine yearly banquets haye since been held, Ab each the wine) kept in a vault in the First National bank here between times, stood in the center of the table that glittered with snowy linen, eflverware and roses. Peter Hall, 84, 80 and John Goff, 80, were the only ones at the ‘old Sawyer house,” scene of the annual affair today. Emil Graff, St. Cloud, Fla., the fourth rvivor is an invalid and could not attend, Hall, grap but in a cracking voieé reminiscent of the day he marched by the little white church at Bull Run, arose to his fest after the «nner and proposed the seal on the wine be broken next year, “We're not going to last much long: er and if we don't do something soon we'll all pass on,” he said. Dimmed eyes regarded thirty black draped chairs and a vote was taken, The seal will be broken and the toast will be drunk at noon a year from to- day—at the hour and minute when the battle of Bull Run started. The wine will then go to the state historical society with the records of the company and the “last man club" will pass into history. The banquet today was redolent, with momoties.

Shy yelled: Run Yank, you'll come back fast- er than you're g0.0g in,” "We did.” After prayers had been said for the dead, and memories of war buddies hallowed, the three, turmed to the present and joked gaily with Mrs. Pressel Bloomer and Mrs. Evans Heabenstreet, widows of club mbers, vver who will be alive to drink next year.

BY LOGAL MAN Story of Attack on Columbus | Graphically Told by | W. F, Murphy | 1 The death of General Francisco | Pancho) Villa which occurred at his | Franch at Cantuillo, Durango, Friday | when he was shot down by his secro-| tary, Miguel Trillo, brings to the pub-! Me mind many interesting phases of | the great bandit’s career. | Details of the Villa. raid on Colum-; bus, N. M., the morning of March 9,+ 1916, are graphically set forth by W. F. Murphy, manager of the local Western Union Telegraph company Mr. Murphy at the time of the raig was chief operator at the El Paso and Southwestern ratlroad ion at Columbus. Mr. Murphy recalls many vivid details of the Mexican raid in F. his interview with a Tribune re- porter. Several days prior to the raid George Seese, Associated Press cor- respondent @rrived in Columbus and predicted that there would soon be trouble from Villa and his followers. Villa and his forces at the time of Mr. Seese’s arrival in Columbus were camped 30 miles southwest of the ;town at Boca Grande on the old Mor- mon Trail. Previous to the time of the raid newspaper correspondents and motion picture men were wel- come in Villa's camps and campaigns. He always accorded these Americans | every courtesy and saw that they| had the best of quarters and rations while with his army, Seese had been with Villa on a number of the Mex!- can leader's campaigns, About the time of his arrival tn Columbus the Villiastis shot down and killed two American cattle hands in the employ of the Palomas Cattle and Land com- pany. One of the cowboys killed was Corbet, McKinney. Immediately fol- lowing the killing of the two men there were rumors current that the Villa forces would attach Columbus but the rumors were discredited owing to the fact that the Thirteenth U. S. cavalry were camped in the town? Tho night of the raid three squad- rons of the Thirteenth cavalry were doing Cossack patrol duty aldng the, border and covering from 8 to 10 miles o: the line immediately south of Columbus preper. The camp of the Thirteenth was under the usual camp guard. Several days prior. to the raid many Mexicans drifted into Columbus and no doubt took careful observations of the lay of the town and the country adjoining it. The ‘rrival of the Mexicans was nothing unusual and little was thought of thelr presence and its meaning, The night before the raid there was a fire along the railroad right of way which Mr, Murphy thought was a bridge on fire. He sent the section foreman to the scene of the fire and he reported back that it was nothing but a pile of weeds. It was thought that the weéds had ‘been -set-on fire by a passing locomotive but later de: velopments caused the officials to think that the fire was no doubt a signal to the main band of Villa. The same night of the firé the command ing officer of the military post was given information by a friendly Mexi- can that the Villlastis would attack the town that night but the informa- tion was regarded as a rumor and discounted. The raid or attack was made at 4:20 a, m, the morning of March 9, 1916. The actual timo of the raid was confirmed because of a bullet through the depot clock stopping the hands at exactly the hour mentioned. The clock {s still in the hands of the station master, L. L. Jaeger: The Mexicans entered through draw north of the military camp and also from the west and north side of rail- road embankment from the east. More Villa forces entered at another arroya directly from the south which hid them from view of the sentries on duty at the military camp, The force from the south and east at- tacked the camp of the ‘Thirteenth cavalry whose rifles were locked in gun racks delaying defensive tactics for some little time. The Mexicans from the west attacked the town, and killing and looting ran rife. Nine civilians and seven members of the Thirteenth cavalry were killed and many wounded. The raiders took 90 head of horses from the Thirteenth cavalry corrals and made eway with all.guns, ammunition and provisions from the stores of the town. There were 64 Mexicans picked up dead in and around the town. and military camp. The bodies were saturated with off and burned. The Villa troops in their haste to get away did not bury any of their dead or take their wounded with them, An impromptu hospital was opened for the care of the wounded in an old log cabin about 30 yards south of the present depot site at Columbus. The oabin still is standing. The fight lasted from 4:20 a. m. until 6:30 a. m, when the Mexicans withdrew from the town and camp. A detachment from the Thirteenth cavalry gave chase to the flying Villlastis’ and chased tho main band over the line. The Mext- cans then broke up into smaller bands and made haste to cover. The detachment of the Thirteenth cavalry was lead by Major Thonpkins who was later badly: wounded in a skir- mish with the Villa bandits at Naina- quipa about 75 miles northwest of tre town of Chihuahua, Mexico. Thonp- kin’s forces after the chase returned to Columbus and reported that a force much larger than the Thir- teenth detachment were camped al Boca Grande, Mexico. Reinforce ments arrived that night when the Twentieth infantry from Fort Bliss went through Columbus to Con- tinental, N. M., where they did guard duty. This move was thought un- culled for as Contihental ts some lit: tle. distance from the border and there is no town ‘there that would need protection. From this time on reinforcements came to. Columbus unt!] 13,000 men under the command of General Pershing had gone into Mexico in pursuit of Villa and his The place of honor was given bang Che Casper Sunday the Thirteenth U. 8. cavalry who lead the way after the brigands and their notorious leader. The reason for the raid and rob- bery at the town of Columbus is thought to be this, That in the sum- mer of 1915 it is recalled that Gen- eral Scott was sent to El Paso to confer with Villa. The meeting last- ed several days and when Villa parted he was on good terms with the United States government. At this time Villa had possession of the state of Chihuahua and other north- ern states of Mexico. His desire was to annex Sonora, He proceeded over the. mountains to get to Agua Prieta which was then the stronghold of Sonora and garrisoned by Carranda troops. His course took him through country 100 miles south of Hachita. At Agua Prieta Carranza got word df Villa’s move and asked the United Statés for permission to move his troops from Eagle Pass, Texas, to Douglas, Ariz., on American soll, His request was granted and the troops moved through the U. 8. in bond. His arrival st Agua Prieta made it possible for him to keep the. ‘Villa forces out of Sonora’s stronghold. Villa then went on the warpath against the United States and all Americans. “He killed 17 American miners at Santa Rosilla, Mexico, and then made his raid on Columbus giv. ing his cause that the U. 8. betrayed him by allowing Carranza to move his army over U.S, soil, Also setting forth statements that the U, 8. army guarded the railroad lines in order that he could not get to Carranza without destroying U. 8. property. JACOBS FREED INSLAYING OF DANCING GIRL Second Trial Results In Ac- quittal of Army Physician At San Diego SAN DIEGO, Cal., July 21—(United Press).—Dr. L. L. Jacobs, whom the state believed held the key to the mys- tery murder of Fritzl Mann, a dancer, was a free man today, the jury in the second trial of his case returning a verdict of acquittal, Jacobs, an army physician, sta- tioned at Camp Kearney, was accused of the girl’s murder, which occurred at Torrey Pines beach, her sem{nude body being found by the owner of a group of rental cottages, one of which was rented by the girl and a man whom the state endeavored to prove was Jacobs. Jacobs strenuously dented guilt and the first trial resulted in a disagree- men of the jury. The state, however, decided to try the case again. ‘The trial created a sensation, More than 80 witnesses testified, The evi- dence against Jacobs was circumstan- tial.
