Mr. John Lyon, who went trim
Reidsville to Arizono immediately af
ter the war and who spet some tim,,
here recently, is now a guest o rela
tlves In Forsyth county, and the Win
ston-Sentinel had the following to
sav about liim in a recent issue:
It is not often that you run across
a man or a summers inai riues
horseback almost every day and Unit
has not been ill in s olong tnut he
hardly knows what the word mean?,
but Winston-Salem has such a man
within her boundaries today m the
person of Mr. John Lyon, of I'hoenix,
Arizona, who is the guest of ins
brother, Mr. J. S. Lyon, of West
Washington avenue. Mr. Lyon has
not only been Messed with excelj' iu
health during the forty years that he
has been a resident of the grei't
Southwest, but he is also the posses-
or of a fine physique, on.; t h.t-
would do credit to a nian of haif his
ars. He is tall and straight as an
rrow ana shows his age only oy
his snowy white hair and long, Mow
ing beard.
Mr. Lyon is a mine owner and
rancher. He owns mines, one at
Bisbee, Arizona, and one ai vit'gra,
Mexico, and also a splendid ranch of
000 acres, located about for' miles
from Phoenix, Arizona, on which he
makes his home. He is well posted
in regard to all affairs, particularly
the Mexican situation, although he 3
not disiKssed to discuss condition in
that country. During his forty years!
residence in the Southwest, Mr Ly-j
on has been througn a nuraoer or
thrilling and hair-raising expeile-ic-
es, chief among these happening only
a few months ago, whon he, together
with seventeen other men, were held
captives for almost three weeks by a
band of Mexican outlaws. Mr. Lyon
says that this experience was a
most unusual one because of the
fact that for two weeks and three
days he was given nothing to eat
and drink except beans and water.
No salt or anything else went with
the beans.
It seems that last Ja'nuary Mr. l.y
on and rour otner ranchers decided
to go into Mexico and round-up fif
teen thousand head of cattla belong
ing to them and drive them across
the border into Arizona. Picking out
thirteen of their best cowboys the
party set oat and began the irduous
task of rounding up the steer3. Oih
morning about 2 o'clock as the par
ties were sleeping, they heard shots
and upon getting up found that they
had been surrounded by a band of
about 200 Mexican outlaws. Mr. Lyon
states that he first believed them to
be soldiers, but that it did not take
the members of his party long to dis
cover that they were bandits. It soon
developed htat the robbers were after
money and not tattle and af:er rob
bing their prisoners of their valua
bles, including their weapons, they
stampeded the few thousand s'.eers
that had been gotten together and
moved off, taking Mr. .Lyon and bis
party with them.
For two weeks and three days we
traveled with the Mexicans," said
Mr. Lyon, "living on straight beans
and water. On the fourth day we
were rescued by a party of Villa'a sol
diers who escorted us to the herder
to protect us from any other of the
numeous bands of outlaws.''
Mr. Lyon says that all of his cattls
except about twenty-five heal which
the bandits killed forNjieat ire still
in Mexico, but that hex? mt going
back afterthem under present c.tndi:
Hons.
Mr. Lyon says that for. twentv-five
years he has known -'General Vrilt.
They met In El Paso, Texas. The
present Mexican general had gon to
EH Paso and opened a store and a
large butcher shop and Mr. Lyon
says that he had extensive business
dealhigs with him there. He regards
Villa as a very fine fellow and says
that he Is not-the blackguard ho is
pictured in the States. When asked
if he was acquainted with 'any.-other
Mexican chiefs, Mr. Lyon stated that
he knew. Iluerta very well, but de
clined to express an opinion of niru.

From waste fields to a thriving

In this city of uncompleted 'homes
and thousands of tents, which stretch 1
in every direction, liquor has been ta-j

derly community, though ths town is
yet in its inception.
One of the novel features of the b,g
powder plant is the fact that .while
17.000 men are employed there, the
only regular payroll maintained by
the company is ior the managers of
the different -departments. Each f
the 17,000 employes is hired and dis
charged each day. Every nfght each
employe is paid for the day and his
employment, In so fur s the com

Offenders are punished promptly, and

j B. L. Flack was shot and sorioublv
' wounded late Wednesday afternoon
i by C. Self, in the store of tho latter
at Brown Summit. The otfic-jrs wtre
called in and Self was arreued. aj
were two brothers of ' the injured
man. The brothers are C. W. Flack
and C. J .Flack. The wounded man
is in St. Leo's Hospital in Greens
boro, while Self was releae'l en
bond. One of the Flack brothers is
still held unable to give his bjnd r.nj
the other was released. The injured
one will probably recover.
According to the story Mr. Self
told, the three Klack brothers enter-
ed his soft iJink stand at Brnvn
Summit and started a row. He had
a badly torn shirt which he exhibited
as evidence of the truth of his as
sertion that the men attacker! lin,
before he used the revolver. He said
he released himself from the attack
ing trio longenough to secure the .32
calibre revolver and opened fire. One
of the bullets took effect in the abdo
minal' cavity and the other Inflicted a
purely flesh wounds.
The shooting occurred late in the
afternoon and pincers went from
Greensboro as soon as the "shoolln,?
was reported by telephone. Xo dirfl-
cuity was experienced in finding all
parties to the occurrence and malting
the arrests. Mr. Self was placed un
der a $500 bond and the Flacks, who
were able to get around, wee re
quired to give bonds of $100 each
for their appearance before Justice
of the Peace J. B. Minor for trial.
Sheriff, Stafford, who headed the
party which went to Brown Summit,
said that there was a -45 cal'bre re
volver also in the store of Mr. Self,
very near the resting place of the
smaller gun.

A tinfoil philosopher ha3 said:
"The Jiore I see of men, the better
I like dogs.' As an example of logic
mat is a good epigram, but there is
toore of cleverness in it than of love
for humanity. Man is all right
himself; it is only when he-'reflects
the thoughts of others that he falls
to their level. No Institution or
group of men or association is great
er than the individual. A religious
of an irreligious man; a democrat or
republican, a prohibitionist or an an
u-proniDiiionisi, a sunragist . or an
anti-suffragist, Is not great or evil
because" he is a religtous man. a dem
