"You know one of us must die",-
Sneed added, "I knew that the only
motive for that fellow (Boyce) com-

"My brother, Joe, told me that the
Boyces had been advised that if I were
killed in Amarilio he could get off
with it. Two hardware men told me'
when I went to Amarillo July 19, last,
that Henry and Lynn Boyce had

wife and children alone. I knew
Boyce could make my wire murder me

will enter the race for the presidency
of Mexico. Probably Provisional
President Huerta will not run against
him. One reason why Diaz made no
?ffort to secure the provisional presi-
dency for himself was his wish to be
entirely free lo organize and direct
his party in tho coming campaign.
The closesl estimates obtainable, of
the casualties during the fighting in
the streets or this city shows about
3,000 killed and 7,000 wounded. In
most cases no official records were
made of the bodies, which were gath-
ered up and carted to the open spaceB
"'•side the city and burned. There
are numerous instances of whole fam-
ilies being wiped out by exploding
shells or by the fire of machine guns.
Estimates on tho property loss run
Into many millions of dollars.
It Ib reported that the povernment
is considering the advlsibility of bring
ing Francisco Madero before a lunacy
commission. The fate of the ex-preii-
dent will be left in the hands of the
new cabinet and doubtleBs will be de-
cided tonight. Madero is now the
prisoner of Huerta, who refuses to ac-
cept the responsibility of his disposl
