INTERVIEWED WHILE IN PHOENIX AND TALKS OF RE-
CENT cANANEA TROUBLE, DESCRIBING PART. THAT
WAS TAKEN BY AMERICANS FROM THIS SIDE OF
BOUNDARY - INTERESTING NARRATIVE.

Jeers going TO Cananea would be de-
MED by later reports. | doubted the
necessity of making the trip. Above
all, / knew that they could not go as
armed troops, and under no consid-
GRAFTON would lead them across the
border as an armed body. I had in
mind, however, way in which they
could be handled. / had a wire from
Governor Yzabal, of Sonora, saying
he would meet the volunteers at Naco
and We prepared to leave for that
point.
1T was about 1870 o'clock Saturday
morning that we arrived in Naco, and
We had short wait before Governor
Yzabal arrived. | greeted him upon
his arrival, and told him my men want
ed to go to protect Americans and TO
help him. but that they could only go
as individuals. and not as troops. This
he understood, and the men were
| brought to the border and the order
given to break ranks. Like a bunch of
| sheep the men made their way across
the line, but once in Mexico the troops
| were formed and companies organized
| with commanders.
"The companies were then present
| ed to Governor Yzabal, who said he
would accept them upon but one con-
dition. and that was that the men
should obey every command. This
they agreed to do, and the trip into
Cananea was begun. Arriving there
we made march through the town
up around the concentrators and the
furnaces. II is more than likely that
our strength overawed the rioters. for
they very soon dispersed.
Shortly after the rurales arrived
under the command of Col Roster
! litzky. He and Governor Yzabal then
, thanked the men and asked them &c
, again board the cars and return tC
Naco. | gave such an order, but we
could not get away at once, on &C
count of broken down engine. but
: finally we were able to leave about
!, midnight. All the Americans knew
that with Col. Kosterlitzky in com
, mand there was no further need fol
