ExcIr,No CHASE

TUCSON, Oct. 5.--After hard chase in automobile after fleeing smuggler, a chase which began in Tucson and ended near the Mexican line, United States Deputy Marshal Harry Overlook captured Jose Mar tinez yesterday and landed him in the county jail, where he is being held on the charge of smuggling. A companion, name unknown. escaped over the border. It is believed in the United States marshars office that he will meet a similar fate at the hands of the Mexican officials.
 Two men, it appears. got six mules in Mexico and brought them to Ari- zona for sale. selling them to ranch CTS in the mountains aboue 8 miles north of Tucson. The fact did not come to the attention of the United Statee marshars office until yester- day, and then the men had start of 24 hours for Mexico. Hence Deputy Overlock's use of the automobile. Al ter a wild ride to beat the men to the line, he caught Martinez. whose horse was too badly exhausted re carry him further. The other man, having seperated from Martinez, is sup posed to have escaped over the line.
