ADJUrANT GENERAL KING, of Tex

ADJUTANT GENERAL KING, of Texas,
has received letter from w. H. Titus,
residing in Ell Paso County, stating that
on December 2 about twenty-five Mex
lean soldiers crossed into Texas and
deliberately stole herd of twenty-five
cattle belonging to Americans. When
the soldiers put in an appearance the
cow boys asked them their authority
for crossing into Texas and driving off
rattle. The leader told them they had
better go back to camp. Titus asked
the Adjutant General for State Rangers
to protect the frontier. General King
replied that whatever aid they could
render would be freely given, but such
an invasion by foreign soldiers was
fully within the scope of the authority
of the United States army, and the
matter would be brought to the notice
of the President.
