Lively Times Along the Border.
 Phoenix. Arizona, Nov. 23.-Ame"i- can cattlemen in northern Mexico are up in arms against certain Mexican officials along the border line. Ycster- day Tranquillino Cuen, Mexican cattle inspector, seized 1000 head of steers be- longing to Bob Giles and Joe Rhodes, claiming they were stolen stock. Cuen sent deputies across the Ameri- can line and drove the cattle into Mexico.
 The owners resisted and several shot were fired. Giles and Rhodes followed the officers and the herd over the international line, and there were taken in charge by squad of deputies.
 Bert Grover, sergeant of the Arizona Rangers, followed close after with sev- eral of his men, and after hard fight with the Mexicans succeeded in re- leasing the Americans.
 An appeal has been sent to the gov ernor of Sonora to stop the officers from further seizing cattle. The Mexicans claim that the Giles herd is part Of many thousand stolen in northern Mexico.
 Professor F. $. Haiford, principal of the Morenci schools, spent Saturday last in Clifton and made the ERA a pleasant call. The Professor does not take kindly to the proposition of the Bulletin to economize by cutting down the school expenses. The Mo renci schools now employ five teachers, and by the liberal assistance of the company, in addition to the amount al lowed by the county, the directors ex- pect to keep the schools open for | by the Bulletin, the companies would be compelled to put up several hundred dollars more. The companies arc heavy tax pay CTS. They have this year erected q school house at Morenci at q cost of about Sl5,- - GOO. They arc most liberal in school matters, and while doubtless they would keep the schools running even though the district did not receive q cent from the county, still there is no necessity to ride 8 free horse to death.
 While Assistant Superintendent Neitch of the A. C. company and Alex. Mclean, superintendent of the Metcalf mines, were hunting some ten or fifteen miles back from Metcalf. q few days since, they were fired on by outlaws whom they supposed to be members of the Smith gang. Two shots were fired at them at long range. It is the suppOsition that the outlaws mistooll them for officers. The shots were not returned. as the hunters were after different species of game. Capt. Burt Mossman, with two or three rangers. accompanied by Sheriff Jim Parks and deputies Gus and L-e Hobbs, | left Clifton this morning, going up the | san Francisco river, and it is the gen. eral suppoSition that they are on the !, trail of the outlaws. It is likely that l an engagement will occur at any time the outlaws and the officers.
