J THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. GEORGIA CORN CLUB BOYS’ EXHIBITS TO BE DISPLAYED AT THE DALLAS NATIONAL SHOW A Group of Georgia Corn Club Boys who took part in great annual parade through Atlanta streela. Federal Soldiers and Civilians, Starving and Dying, at Goal of Safety. PRESIDIO, TEXAS, VIA MARFA, Dpi- 5.—Couriers traveling In advance of he caravan of refugees from Chi huahua rode Into Presidio to-day with tragic stories of hardship and distress. They said that the main body of the fugitives would reach the border late this afternoon. The flee ing Federal soldiers seised whole families along the way as hostages to prevent any attack by the Constitu tionalists. For more than a week the refugees, soldiers and civilians (men, women and children), have plodded over the 180 miles of Mexican desert and mountain land lying between Chihua hua and the border. Exhausted men and children, foot sore and worn out by hardships and lack of water and food, were left by the wayside to die slowly of thirsf »nd hunger. Treasure Left in Flight. Some of the rich members of the fleeing army—for there are a number of wealthy Mexican families among the refugees—were compelled by Genera] Mercado’s soldiers to kill their horses and mules for food. Even the pack animals carrying a treasure in bullion and plate owned by the Terrazas and other rich Mexican fam ilies were slain for food. Straggling bands of soldiers flanked the caravan and acted as advance and rear guard to prevent any attack by bandits. When the flight started, many of the wanderers threw away arms, pro visions and clothing in panic. When the mountain country was struck, the weather became very cold and exposure added to the distress of the fugitives. U. S. to Aid Refugees. Examples of noble sacrifice among the civilians were common. Fathers and mothers discarded their own clothing that their children might be warm. The United States military and civil authorities are co-operating to care for the hungry and penniless refugees. An emergency camp has been established by Captain Going, of Troop E, Fifteenth United States Cavalry. Throughout the night a number of Mexican residents of OJinaga crossed the border of Presidio because of re ports that Constitutionalists were ad vancing upon the town to attack the Federal soldiers.
