M'KAy IS RELEASED
ON BAIL AT ENSENADA
Lawyers Statement Regard
ina Arrest for Constructing
Wire Gate at Tia Juana.

SAN DIEGO. Cal, July 22.-D. w. Nc
Kay, whose arrest at Tia Juana and sub
sequent removal to Ensenada has been
brought to the attention Of the State De-
partment at Washington, was today re-
leased on bail at Ensenada, according to
advices received by his attorney, j. f.
Wadham of this city.
Mr.. Wadham made this statement to-
day:
1.-The facts, as understand them. which
are founded upon statements made to me
by u. w. Mckay, Mrs. Mckay and AL
bert Arguello, the prosecuting witness,
are as follows:
Mr.. Mckay went to Tia Juana Hot
Springs, three miles below the boundary,
for his wifes health. Mr.. Mckay has
purchased or entered into agreement for
the purchase Of an interest in the Tia
Juana Springs. He claims he asked per-
nilsson to cut a wire fence upon this
property and put in gate. Mr.. Arguello
denies that Mr.. Mckay asked the permiS-
sion.
The Known Facts.
But the facts are that Mr.. Mckay did
cut a wire fence and put in a wire gate;
that Mr.. Arguello went to Tia Juana and
swore out warrant, upon which Mr.. Nc
Kay was arrested. He was thrown into
Jail at Tia Juana Saturday, the 18th. I
Immediately went to Tia Juana and found
that Mr.. Mckay was being examined by
the authorities.
II made an appeal that Mckay be re-
leased on bonds, which had been offered
in any reasonable amount. The authori-
ties refused to consider the matter, stat
ing he could not be released on bonds
until the testimony on the hearing was
sent to Ensenada.
I'm consequence Mr. Mckay stayed In
Tia Juana In Jail until the afternoon OF
the 18th instant
Moved Into Better Quarters.
Il am Informed that Sunday, the 17th
instant, he was moved into pretty good
quarters and was allowed to go in and
out of doors when he saw fit, but that
Sunday night he was returned to his
dungeon and locked up, the guard stat
ing that he did not propose to take any
chances. We offered to take Mr.. Mckay
to Ensenada in an automobile ana take
the guards with us, but this was refused
although Mr.. Mckay was permitted to
go in his own wagon, In charge OF TWO
officers, who, I believe, rode on horse
back. I am told that Mr.. Mckay was
handcuffed, but do not know as to this
positively. However, l have received ad.
vices from Ensenada to the eject that
Mr.. Mckay has been released on bail.

to interest government officials in the
AngOra goat question.
The main purpose OF the first half of
the trip was to show the great endurance
of the little woolly animals, which the
visitors say are the hope of the west.
1t is their desire for the federal govern
ment to stock the opened lands of the
west with these goats. which they claim
will in time bring millions of dollars to
/ the people Of the country.
Feat Never Surpassed.
Whether they succeed in their first pur-
pose to interest the government or not,
the little party has at least demonstrated
that the spirit of old forty-niners is
far from dead. With the strains of the
famous old goat hunters in their blood,
these men with their animals have &C
complished q feat that has never been
surpassed.
Besides Capt Edwards, those in the
party are John r. Johnson, William Van
Atnworth, William Kesiel and William
M. Edelman. Capt. Edwards. whose legs
have been paralyzed since he was four
years old, is a grizzled veteran of the
ranch. Never able to ride a horse he
has always been able to care for ranch
even though he was forced to drive as
his only means of locomotion.
In the spring of 1908 the captain de-
termined to make the trip across the
continent to show the endurance of his
goats, with which he has had long ex-
perience. He got together his party of
four cowboys, together with five goats
apd six burros.
The captain used light wagon drawn
by three of the goats, the other two
being held in reserve. The burros car
ried the camp supplies in packs. The
cowboys footed 1t.
Little Cash, Many Photographs.
With $50 in cash and 1000 post card
started April l. Numerous bets were
made on the result, some that they would
never get out of the state, others that
| they would die before they could reach
half across the continent, still others that
they would abandon the trip.
The party travelled along the Mexican
border, through Devils Canon and over
| the Yuma desert. The lower end OF
Death valley. made famous by the gold
hunter "Scoty," was one of the wastes
| traversed. The longest stretch the party
made without water was three days
During this long period without water the
party sucked pieces of flint, which made
| their thirst less acute.
| Other parts of the journey were COM
| paratively easy. At one time. however
| not blade of grass was seen for six
weeks. The goats subsisted on cactus
and greasewood, showing that goats as
well as burros can live on most any.
thing.
Four thousand and twenty miles were
covered when the party reached New
| York September %, 1909. The only mis-.
| fortune on the trip was the death of two
goats. one from eating poisonous sheep
laurel and the other killed because it had
! broken a leg.
