CAMPO, Dec. l7.--News was received
this morning that an armed body of
Mexicans was advancing on this place
All business is suspended, arms are
brought into req uisition, and lookouts
stationed. At 10 o'clock this morning
the lookouts stationed south of here sig
nailed the approach of a body of Mexi-
cans, but they were ordered to return by
Mexican who had been at the station a
short time before and was familiar with
our defense. Mr.. Wildly arrived here
with body Of armed men from San
Diego, and was received with open arms
Hopes are entertained that troops will
soon be sent here; in fact we must have
them or abandon the place.
SAN Diego, CAL. Dec. 1S.-Grave ap-
prehensions are still felt here over the
condition OF affairs on the border. Va.
rious theories and surmises are given for
the recent murders and attempted rob
berries. That plumber was the object is
most accepted, although many think
Soso was murdered in retaliation for his
summary execution, while acting project
without trial of three alleged hors,
thieves some four years ago, aud Leclair,
was killed 30 as to tell no tales. There il
no doubt but that the frontier authorize,
will do all they can 10 bring the guilt,
parties to justice. but 1t is doubtful !
they are strong enough to control a larg,
number of Sonorians now concentrating
on the line. We would not be SURPRISED
to hear of conflict between Mexican
authorities and outlaws at any hour.
CARSON, New. 1.-THE following i
from the Nevada Tribune. This morn
ing at daylight the citizens of Carson
were startled by learning that man wa
found hanging by the neck to the gat
of S. G. Wright's cemetery. Number
rushed to the spot and there hung tn
dead body of a man with paper pinne
to his breast with the figures "6O1
written thereon. The man who ha
suffered the death penalty at the hand
of an outraged community bears tn
name of Burt and was one of the viii
nesses who testified against Detelin
during his trial in the district court.
will be remembered that Detsling entirsl
contracdicted the testimony Of Burt AMI
asserted that he was led into ways tina
are dark by said Burt and his partner
Latter and Pisrcey. Deteling was cor
victed on his own admission, but ther
was not man who listened to the tor
timony OF Burt but believed that he wa
the greater villain Of the two and cor
} cocter of all the nefarious plots that ha
, been carried into execution. We under
, stand that Burt has been repeatedly re

the warning. Yesterday, so rumor ha
