Jenkins, 85 but still active, is a moody, mysterious millionaire who came to Mexico from Tennes see in 1901 flat broke. His wealth today is estimated at between $200 million and $300 million. His story is a true-life mixture of Horatio Alger and Richard Harding Davis. But much of it is shrouded in mystery and legend because he fanatically hates the press and publicity. IT IS KNOWN that over the years he was kidnapped, faced a bandit firing squad, worked with woes and federals of Mexico’s 1910 revolution, was attacked and befri ended by presidents, lived danger ously. Throughout he avoided politics, concentrated on pesos. Extension Service Names Electrician To Longview Post James L.

Ivy will be a field instructor with the Electric Line Crew Training Program. He will be stationed in Longview.

A native of Castor, La., Ivy has been safety instructor for the job training program in New Mexico for the last three years. He is a past master of a Masonic Lodge in Louisiana and a member of the Baptist Church. He is mar ried and has three grown children. He still makes headlines with his business deals and charities but friends say he has turned much of the detail work over to an adopted son, Guillermo (Spanish for William) Jenkins Jr., also re portedly from Tennessee. Jenkins himself, recovering from a successful cancer operation, can often bd found sitting on a bench near his wife’s grave in Puebla,, meditating. In 1905, working in Aguascali entes for 50 cents a day, he got backing from an American mission ary group to set him up as a travel ing saleman selling haberdashery. THIS TOOK HIM to Spanish co lonial Puebla, not far from Mexi co City. It was here his luck turn ed, and where he has made his home ever since. In the chaotic days during and following the 1910 revolution he opened a small business in Puebla dealing with grain, real estate, sugar and brokerage. Jenkins mingled with federal troops and bandit groups, particul arly those of the famed Zapata, during the revolution. One day he was seized . by Zapatistas who charged he had permitted govern ment troops to use his home a base. He was standing before the firing squad when a young of- | ficer sauntered by, recognized and saved him. JAMES L. IVY Study: Hear Worship: 9:30 a. m. DR. GUY GREENFIELD, PASTOR 10:45 a. m. 6:io p. m.
