rest of Jones, OF the Jones' Whiting {
sensation, on charge of felony. Jones
and Mamie were stopping at Pedro Ba-
bello's, just across the line. When the
officers arrived they found Villagrana,
the Commandant of Frontera, there, who
refused to allow Jones to be taken from
Mexican territory. There is no doubt
that Vilagrana will protect Jones to his
utmost ability. Mr.. Fennell, uncle of
Mamie, was also there, and endeavored
to prevail upon her to return with him
to his home at Julian, but she expressed
ner determination to stay with Jones.
When Jones found there was warrant |
for his arrest he was furious, complained |
of persecution and all that sort of thing. |
The probabilities are that all hands will
60 to San Rafael next week. They think
if the Commandant could be got away
Jones could be got this side of the line,
but Villagrana is watchful and suspi-
cious.
