To be an eye witness of the now famous raid of Villa and his bandits upon Columbus, New Mexico, Marcel 9, was the experience of R. E. Stiviver, abum medic, who was then serving as principal of the Columbus schools.
"A rally is a very tame affair, said Mr. Stivison, "after aterffirm through such a night. We were in the morning by a terrific riffle fire and by fendishly vells of 'Vivi Villa' and 'Viva Mejeco'. The town had been attacked from the southwest and the north by hostiles that storms mainly upon the store buildings.
"Crouchning at our windows in our home in the northern part of the little town we could see the flashes of the sun and the lights of the stores. We could hear the struggling go galloping by the house, cursing in their Mexican tongue. Several bullets went crashing through the home and made us hug the floor more closely.
"The burning buildings cast a lurid light over the whole scene and proved to be the undoing of the Mexicans. It was not long until the United States cavalry had recovered from their complete surprise and we heard with great relief the barking of three machine guns.
"As soon as it was apparent that the Mexicans were driven off, my wife and I rushed down town. We were among the very first on the streets and one of the first bodies found proved to be that of one of our most intimate friends. It was a shock that one does not soon forget, to find one's nearest friends and meet them, or to meet My wife, being a trained nurse and a graduate at a medical school in Philadelphia, was kept busy that morning until the arrival of help from the neighboring towns.
"After the raid it was a common sight to see the minister walking down the street with a rifle in one hand and a Bible in the other. One of my friends, with a big rifle in his arms, attended the funeral of his father. It was stated that even the school children carried revolvers, but

"Little dependence can be placed upon the newspaper reports concerning the entire event, but to one who was present before, during and after the raid many things show the inefficiency and lack of preparedness on the part of our government. The cattlemen, whose leadership felt towards the officer in command of the regiment at the time of the raid. One of the cattlemen, well known to me, had gone to the colonel and had warned him that the attack was coming, but the colonel told him to go to the lower regions and that HE was running the camp. This same cattleman drove across the line and warned the soldiers of the Caranza garrison but these men refused to pay any attention. Then they learned that they never helped in capturing Villa.
"As a result of the commanding officer's refusal to place a stronger patrol, eight of our neighbors and ten soldiers were killed."
Regardless of his harrowing experiences, Mr. Stivison intends to return to the border as soon as he has finished his medical course.
