President Orders Troops to Dor.
der to Prevent Violation
of Neutrality.
REQUEST COMES FROM MEXICO
Mexican Rurales Take Field Against
MISUNDERSTANDING Quiet
Now Reigns.

Washington, July /. - BY direction
of President Roosevelt, Secretary
Taft has issued orders to the COM
handing general of the department
of Texas at San Antonio, to send
sufficient number of troops to Del Rio,
Ell Paso and other points in Texas to
aid the civil authorities in preserving
order This action was decided upon
as a result of the request from the
Mexican government that the United
States do it's utmost to prevent any
violation of the neutrality laws.
May Arrest Rebels.
There is a possibility that the
United States may be called upon to
arrest any of the Mexican revolution
lists who may cross the border in the
effort to escape from the Mexican au-
thorities. 1t cannot be learned that
any orders to this effect have been
given, as none of the officials having
to do with the matter is willing to dis
cuss just what is being done except
that every step possible is being
taken to see that the neutrality laws
shall be enforced. The United States
authorities are sincerely working to
the end and assurances have been re-
ceived from the attorney general of
the United States and Gov. Campbell
of Texas that everything will be done
to compel strict enforcement of the
law.
Region Now Quiet.
City of Mexico, July Up to this
evening no news of any sort had been
received at the capitol that would in
dictate that there had been a repeti-
ton of the disorders similar to those
which occurred at the towns of vi
esca and Las Vacaso. On the contra
ry, at the departments of the interior,
war and state it was reported that alb
solute quiet reigned in the region
where the two small bands of malcon.
tents had been operating. Word from
Torreon declares that the place is as
quiet as any we'll organized city of
the United States.
Charged With Common Crimes.
The entire direction of the cam
paign against the malcontents is un-
der the direction Of the secretary of
the interior, Senior Corral. who is also
vice president of the republic. The
government, considering the marau-
ders criminals, is chasing them with
rurales, the mounted police of the
country. Foreign Minister Mariscal
declared yesterday that those mani
festants who infest the Rio Grande
and are now on the United States soil
will be extradited on the grounds that
the men are guilty of crimes and not
political offenses.
Troops Take Field.
E1 Paso, Tex, July ACCORDING
to information from a reliable source,
official advices have been received in
Juarez, across the Rio Grande from
this city, TO the effect that the $500
federal troops sent to Torreon, Cohau-
lila, have taken the field in an effort to
surround the parties believed to be
responsible for the attacks on Viesca
and unnian6a Not

CAUSING
TROUBLE
CARELESS HUNTERS AND FISHER
MEN COMPLAINED OF az
! OWNER OF SMALL RANCH.
Leslie, wyo., Aug. Is, 1908.

Leslie. Wyo., Aug.18, 1908.
To the Editor Of The Republican:
1t Is probably true that not many
ranch peorae object very seriously to
parties fishing along the streams that
run through their meadows. AS a mat
ter OF fact, not a great deal of damage
is. done by parties fishing. 1t is when
they camp on the hay lands and drive
their picket pins and tent pegs in the
grass where the mower must come.
Damage and Expense.
OF course, the bunch of grass around
the tent and where the horses are
picketed is not only retarded In its
growth. but often entirely destroyed
for hay. Even this would not be 30
serious a matter II these campers
would always remove picket pins and
tent pegs, but these are often left and
are not found until the mower crashes
into them. Recently a day and a half's
time was lost and a heavy repair bill
incurred by just this kind of an Incl
dent.
Some Are Careful.
Not all fishermen do this way, but
some do 1t, and the fact is only found
out when the owner Of the land hap
pens to run onto them or onto the
damage they have done.
More Serious Matter.
But a much more serious thing than
either of these, and one that occasions
much more annoyance and loss to the
ranch people, is carelessness, or worse,
on the part of many visitors regarding
gates. Sunday is the worst day of the
week, and it Is a rare thing Sunday
evening to find all gates shut, not only
our horses and cattle turned into the
meadow land, but pasture gates are
left down and cattle and horses get
out onto the open range. As l write
these lines our mower is idle and our
hay hands hunting horses that es-
capped onto the open range through
gates left open August 16.
carsiessaess Causes Loss.
1t ia q common thing to see from a
dozen to twenty on foot, on horseback
and in wagons driving around ON a
pleasantSSnndAE and sitsinvartably fol-
lows that some of the gates are open
or so poorly shut that horses and cat
tie readily get through. We like to
see our friends and know that net
many people Dc, this way. but tie loss
and damage-by these careless visitors
IL really serious and the annoyance
