Lajitas J IT AS, or the place of little rocks, is builded upon the banks of the Rio Grande. Direct¬ ly across the swiftly flowing stream is a tiny M exican village, also named Lajitas. A ferry boat plies between the sister villages. At this place thousands of cattle have passed out of Mexico, or into Mexico from the United States, during periods of drought or revolution. At the time of Villa’s revolutionary activities, bandits raided the lonely little place again and again. Then, because of its very isolation, it became an important trading place for Villa and his troops. The rebel commander retained possession until he surrendered. Here cattle and horses were brought to be sold, the money for all transactions being counted out upon a blanket spread be¬ tween the buyer and the seller. Now that the mutter of rebellion is again heard in the republic to the south, perhaps sleepy, in¬ dolent Lajitas will again awaken to the tread of Caballeros and to the clink of money tossed into the blanket. But today the tiny adobe store is visited only by freighters, who drive long strings of lazy mules across the sandy trail from Alpine to Lajitas, and the little village sleeps in the warm desert sun.
