RACKET NEAR NOGALES.
Mexicans Firing Over the Line q
Americans.

A Nogales V;dette correspondent,
writing from Loeb ell, Arizona, April
24th, says:
| Last Saturday night, between the
hours of and p. M, the good people
of Lochiel were startled out of their
slumbers by the firing Of guns. One
| would have thought that the whole
town of Santa Cruz had brought her
guns to bear on the little town of Loc-
| biel. 1t was not until morning that
the writer became aware of the trouble.
SIT seems thaz Lhe Mexican author
ltles at Santa Cruz sent these armed
men, some twenty, if not more, to LIE
Norris, which is on the international
line, to capture Mr.. Brady, United
Angel Escalente. The authorities at
Santa Cruz are under the impression
that these three men are wanted in
Sonora. Brady and Hanson, they alf
lege are connected with band of
cattle thieves, which are supposed to
have their headquarters at Lochiel,
Arizona.
Last night Harrison and Escalaute
saw two men riding horses on top of
curiosity prompted them to see where
they were headed. Harrison and
Escalante crossed the International
line about a hundred feet and followed
the men 10 the ridge. When they
reached the ridge they did not wait to
see nything, for bang! bang! bang!
the guns of about twenty men poured
forih h their volley. Fortunately no one
was hit by the flying bulle s.
"Even after the men reached the
American side the Mexicans continued
firing. If this matter was brought to
the proper authorities. in the right
light, it will involve both countries,
What right have the Mexicans to fire
on American citizens on their own
soil? It was not until the Mexicans
fired "a the men when they we're on
this side did they return the fire.
Had they not returned a few shots the
Mexicans would undoubtedly have fol-
lowed them.
''In the morning Mr. Behan, deputy
collector, seeing number of armed
Mexicans parading a line went up to
them. An interview with Mr. Behan
after he came back brought out the
following facts: Mr.. Behan demanded
of them the cause of the racket. They
simply SAID that they came after
Brady. Escslante and Harrison for
they heard they were all across the
line. On being questioned about the
shooting they dene ed all knowledge of
it. Mr.. Behan says there were at least
twenty men scattered on the fat.
More trouble is expected any time
for the Mexican authOri' les at Santa
Cruz are determined to have their
men. 1t was reported here yesterday
that the MeXicans had sent to Nogales
for reinforc meDts, but whether true
or not we cannot say

Trouble with the East sides Water supply,
the Result OF an Accident in the Chris
tiaDa.
For about 25 minutes on Tuesday
the entire eastern section of the city,
including South Wilmington, was with
out city water. but fortunately beyond
little Inconvenience no trouble re-
suited therefrom. About $50 o'clock
the discovery was made that the by
drants would not give forth water, mud
for 40 minutes from that time the
Water DepHrtmmsnt Office was besieged
by peonle who desired to know why the
water had been cut off without notice
being given. Some were angry; Others
were not.
The absence Of water was discovered
in the Water Department Office about
as soon as anywhere, and it did not
take many minutes for Chief Engineer
Bond and his assistant to locate the
trouble in the vicinity OF Third street
bridge. Mr. Bond and force of men
boarded street car and in short tine
were at the bridge.
They found that the 20.inch water
| main, which crosses the Christiana al
Third street, had been broken In the
vicinity of whore one Of the Atlet
Dredging Go. q machines was at work
dredging the stream. The water wal
at once shut off the main at Bridge
street and the gates of tho Diamond
State Iron Co.. on the north side ant
also on the south side, and in very
few minutes, the east side water supply
had assumed its normal proportions.
No Inconvenience will be felt, al
South Wilmington will be supplied by
water through the main which oroaseI
the Christina at Orange street.
When Chief Engineer Bond wa!
spoken to about the matter, he said h'
did not know that tho main had beer
broken by the dredge. although tina
