Without a change of expression, one of the deserters stared persistently at him and said: "I know who you are. When we took Torreon you were with General Urbina. In Zacatecas you were with General Natera and then you shifted to the Jalisco troops. Am I lying?" These words met with a sudden and definite effect. The prisoners gave a detailed account of the tremendous defeat of Villa at Celaya.
At the same time it is interesting to notice the more assertive standpoint lately adopted by the charming Mexican poet, Luis G. Urbina, in his recent "La Vida Literaria de México," where, without undue national pride he claims the right to use the adjective Mexican in qualifying the letters of his remarkable country.
Ricardo's dead and the other witness is gone. Now draw your own conclusions." "Gone? You mean the fellow who saw Urbina and Garza together?" "Yes. He has disappeared, too evidently frightened away." Jones was amazed. "Say, Dave," he cried, "that means your case has blown up, eh?" "Absolutely.
During the forenoon Don Ricardo and his sons arrived, bringing additional information, which they promptly imparted to the Ranger. The Guzmans were people of action. All three of them had spent the night on horseback, and Pedro had made a discovery. On the day previous Garza had been seen riding in company with a man astride a sorrel pony, and this man had been recognized as Adolfo Urbina.
Well, he's got all of Jonesville walkin' around ladders, and spittin' through crossed fingers, and countin' the spots on their nails. He interprets their dreams and locates lost articles." "Maybe he can tell me where to find Adolfo Urbina?" Dave suggested. "Humph! If he can't, Tad Lewis can. Say, Dave, this case of yours has stirred up a lot of feelin' against Tad.
We'll have to step in and take the country over, sooner or later. But everybody has the wrong idea of this Guzman killing. The Federal officers in Romero didn't frame it up." "No? Who did?" "Tad Lewis." Jones started. "What makes you think that?" "Listen! Tad was afraid to let Urbina come to trial you remember one of his men boasted that the case would never be heard? Well, it won't.
The prosecutin' attorney says he'll sure cinch him and Urbina, both. One of Lewis's men got on a bender the other night and declared Adolfo would never come to trial." "What did he mean?" "It may have been mescal talk, but witnesses sometimes have a way of disappearin'. I wouldn't put anything past that gang."
"I won't be dragged into the thing. You've no business rustling stock, anyhow. You don't have to." Urbina exhaled a lungful of cigarette smoke and inquired, "You won't help me, eh?" "No, I won't." "Very well! If I go to prison you shall go, too. I shall tell all I know and we shall be companions, you and I." Austin's temper rose at the threat. "Bah!" he cried, contemptuously.
I changed my plans, joined him, served under him in the campaigns he made, was present at the deaths of the Counts Egmont and Horn, and was promoted to be ensign under a famous captain of Guadalajara, Diego de Urbina by name.
The artillery captured by the Constitutionalists had had the breech blocks removed to render them unserviceable; new ones, however, were made in the shops at Cananca by a German mechanician named Klaus. In the summer, Urbina captured the city of Durango, annihilating the Federals. The city was given over to loot and the greatest excesses were indulged in by the victors.
