tion for a change of venue to the In

ed and finally Landis said he would
reserve the decision until Monday.

for disqualification of the Judge sit
ting in this court," said Landis, "and
find it Is a fact that the present Judg?

Revolutionists May be Ready to At
tack Mexicans, Not Americans.
El Paso, Nov. 18 Inability to learn
the whereabouts of a band of armed
Mexicans reported seen yesterday on
the 'Mexican side of the Rio Grande
opposite the town of Marathon has
led to the belief that revolutionists
were enroute to attack Mexican towns
and not the United States communi
ties. Scouts on the American side pa
trolled the river for miles without
seeing a single armed Mexican and
returned to day to Marathon where
the citizens have been armed all night
waiting for the attack.
Sheriff Walton who is Investigat
ing said there was no doubt but that
Mexicans were seen last night but
cant figure out where they went. He
believed the revolutionists are active.
Reports of other armed bands along
the border give color to the report
that revolutionists In Mexico Bre gath
