TEMPLE WENT ACROSS THE LINE
After Shooting a Mexican in Arizona James Temple Went Over the Border Into Mexico, and is Held by the
 Authorities of That Country.

reports. Contreras admits he heard three, and says he does not know who did the shooting. Members of the crew say the reports seemed to come from twC directions. In the melee Arvallo fell without word with Q ballrhrough his abdomen. No known man save the principal actors in the last act of the tragedy was present, as an eye wit ness.
 :. Arvallo is dead; but he lived long enough to declare in the presence of witnesses that he did not know who fired the fatal shot. In effect he ex- onerated Temple.
 When Arvallo fell, Temple went southward toward the business center, and went into BrickWood's saloon. Ar vallo struggled to his feet and made his way to his fathers house several hun dred yards to the northward. Unaided and wounded to the death, he made this distance, and there six hours later he died.
 No matter how he had lived, Ar valIo's end was not without the ele- ments Of heroism when it is considered that in e1oneratng at the hour of his dsath, the man whom he imagined had wrCnged him, he atoaed for his connac- tion with the affair which was the cause of his death.
 From the scene of the shooting Tenn pie weri- to Brickwood's saloon. His appearance startled those who were there. Blood oozed from a wound over one eye; his face and head were bat tered and his body was bruised He an rOuncsd that he had been held up by some Mexicans, and the gun he held in his hand added strength to his story.
 It was unfortunate for Temple per haps, that he did not return to his caboose after attending to his wounds. Instead, he fingered in the saloon bracing his shattered nerves and bat tered body. He fingered there several hours and about the time the church bslls were calling the godly to worship Temple walked across the line to Mex ican territory. The Mexican police. say he still retained his gun. They say he displayed 1t. At all events, Policeman Antonio Ochoa arrested Temple for carrying a deadly weapon and, by a singular coincidence, at nearly the ex- act hour when ArvallO breathed his last, the railroad man was hauled in the Mexican jail. At that time the Mexican authorities were ignorant of the tragedy that had been played to a terrible end across the border, and Temple was held on the minor charge against him. l. was not until the fol- lowing day that the dark web of seri- ous complications were woven about him. Then, Juan Arvallo, Sr., father of ths dead man, and a Mexican citizen appeared before the mayor of Nogales, Sonora, Mr. P. SandOval, and preferred against Temple a charge of murder.
 From this action q serious complica- tion was presented A warrant was sworn out before Justice Duffy by Con stable Brodrick, charging Temple with EoJ TIo H,. Hn val, and requested the body of Temple. The mayor demurred, and said he would answer later.
 Then Temples friends retained Col onel W. P. Harlow, and as attorney for Temple, he asked Mayor Sandoval to deliver Temple TO the Pima county au- thorities. MT. Sandoval told Colonel Harlow that he had communicated the points in the case to Governor Corral at Herm0sillo, and asked for instruc- ti6ns: and that until these had been received he would not deliver the man. At the same time MT. SandOval called Colonel Earl0ws attention to a per picking statute in the Mexican code, and announced that under that statute Temple, having been arrested on Mex ican territory could be tried for a mur- der committed Cn United States soil.
