Alleged EepredaiiOns OF Cowboys III Ali-
IONA.
4 despatch from Tucson, Arizona, says:
''Trustworthy information has been re-
ccivcd from the San Pedro river, below the
Sonora line, that the San Simon cowboys
arc committing fearful deprcdations upon
the Mexican stock raiscrs in Sonora.
J. w. Elias, whose lands extend for
eighty miles along the line, is the greatest
sufferer. The people are ill terror.
There are about two hundred Of these cat
tie thieves, mostly from Texas, and they
are scattered along the border in bands OF
ten to twenty, and all operate. The
MeXicans are arming themselves and say
that # the authorities will not interest
themselves in furnishing these invaders,
they will not allow an American to cross
the line along the localities of these
ranches, rs they are unable to distinguish
between the good and the bad. They
claim that the depreciation of the Apaches
were not half 50 destructive as the work
Of the cowboys.
"a prominent Mexican ranger arrived in
this city to-day with view of purchasing
twenty stand of arms to defend his pro-
perty. He said that if something is not
done by the American government to pre-
vent these American marauders from in
vading their homes serious complications
must arise. 1t appears that these cattle
thieves are largely made up of the same
bands who have given SO much trouble on
the Rio Grandc for years past. The cattle
men Of South Arizona arc also losing
much stock from the same source
"The Apaches are still lowering along
the border of New Mexico and Chihua-
hua. A man named McMurry was driven
from his ranch by band of about 80 last
Sunday"
