The Lucy has
done it
again!
“From the day we were thrown into
j a Mexican prison, we never have seen
| nor heard of Mrs. Charlotta Mason
and her daughter, Clara. The facts
were laid before the American consul
but nothing was done."
Such in a nutshell, is the story of
which F. Norman gave the Portland
Telegram of October 14.
“I was in a bank this morning when
some men were praising Wilson and
talking of Mexico and saying the pres
ident kept us out of war,” says Nor
man. “Now, I know something about
Mexico, so I butted into the conversa
tion and a man, standing nearby whom
I don't know brought me to the politi
cal headquarters.
“Four of us,” continued Norman,
“paid $12,000 cash for a five-year
lease on an old mine 35 miles south of
Chihuahua, Mexico. We had worked
the property nine monthB and were
getting out our sixth carload of ore
when a Huerta officer arrived one day
and charged us with aiding revolu
tionists. There had been no revolu
tionists around there and we knew it
was af ram e-up to get our mine away
nonius, we oarricaaea ourselves and
held off the Mexicans four days, until
they cut off our water supply. We
then raised a truce flag and agreed
to leave the country. The Mexicans
consented, but they took us and kept
us in jail in Chihuahua for three
months, until Villa attacked the town
and wei were moved to Mexico. City
and held in jail there two weeks be
fore we were permitted to communi
cate with an .American consul, who
finally secured our release.
“When vve surrendered there was
with us Mrs. Mason and her daugh
ter. Mrs. Mason was the widow of a
brother of my partner, Frank Mason.
The women were to have been given
safe escort with us, but when we
were thrown in jail the women disap
peared. ' What became of them we
have never been able to learn. They
were natives of Texas and when we
laid the matter before the Texan gov
ernor, he said that he would go into
Mexico and get those American wom
en or bring back the scalp of every
greaser across the river—only Presi
dent Wilson would not permit him.
“So nothing was done by the gov
ernment to learn that fate of these
women, who had been cooking for us
at the mine. Frank Mason is now in
Mexico City trying to find some trace
of his brother’s widow and daughter,
but thus far without success. The
women were taken by the Mexicans
on May 29, 1914.”
