nFrom Frying Pan to Fire"

4bo United States Commissioner. Allen T. Bird, a young man named c. E. Sexton, who plead guilty to a charge lodged against him by Con 0'Keefe, Collector of Customs, and cave bond to appear before the fIoited States grand jury at Tomb. stone. in October. And thereby hangs a tale. (Parenthetically it ia stated that the first information tbe commissioner had of the case was note from the young man himself, stating that he was in jail, and asking speedy hearing. Reply was returned that as soon AS the commissioner could get an official line on him the hearing would be pulled off in short order
 As the story goes MT. Sexton, who is a highly educated and fine looking young man, was one of the many Americans who sought fame and glory upon the bloody battle
 field in the recent disturbance in Mexico, He had enjoyed some military experience in the Missouri militia, and was received with open arms in the i'tSurrect0 army being given the grade of lieutenant in the command of the redoubtable Juan Cabral. So long as they were campaigning all hands were occupied so fully in carving out great hunks of glory that there was little chance for jealousy or ill feeling. But with peace the Amer jeans in the command, so it is said, were made to feel in a way like unbidden guests at a banquet. Lieutenant Sexton and several other Americans in the company to which he was attached, deter mined to sever their connection with the service at the earliest opportunity, which was presented not long ago, when they expected it least. Their company was sent off toward Cananea on some sort of an expedition, following closely the line of the railway, which latter in places approaches very near to the international line. At one of those places the Americans had succeeded in getting the captain to lag behind his command, and when the latter had gone so far ahead and out of sight that the scheme worked, they overpowered their valiant captain and tied him to a tree, which being done very quickly and expeditiously, they all"hiked" across the line, which is but a few yards away from the scene of their exploit. Once over the boundary they dispersed, Lieutenant Sexton going to Calabasas, where he had 8Oiourned some time before going over to join the rebels in Mexico. Tuesday he thought he would come into Nogales to see how the line city was progressing, and to have a look at his late companions in arms across the line. He had no intention of going over.) He had been in town but little time be- fore he was taken into custody by the custom house officials of Uncle Sam for bringing into the country contraband horse and equipment.
 About half an hour after the note to the commissioner the col lector of customs lodged the usual complaint against MT. Sexton, and he was given the desired hearing very quickly. He admitted viola uon Of the law, and asked to be permitted to give bond to 20 before

The previous reduction to Is feet was
merely tentative. 1t was partly for the
purpose of giving a preliminary view

of observing and studying the effects
of the exterior water pressure on the

which was not specially important,
but was indicative of the necessity of
caulking the interstices between the

Gen. Bixby said Thursday night

MORE REVOLUTION
MexIcans Again In Turmoil, Thirty
Killed in Battle.


Mexico City, June 23.--Two State
capitals were scenes of pitched bat.
ties Thursday night between the old
Federal troops and the former revo-
lutionists. In Jalapa, capital OF Vera
Cruz, where disagreements among the
people as TO the provisional Governor
had worked the populace into a high
state OF excitement, twenty-seyen
were killed and thirty-five wounded
In an attack on the State Palace by
mob of Maderists and townspeople.
The discovery of an alleged plot on
the part of the Maderist troops to
blow up the Federal barracks result
ed in an exchange of shots between
the rival forces. but owing to the pre-
cipitate flight of the former insur-
gents the fight was short-lived Two
Federals were killed and the Nader
lists carried away several dead.
A wild rumor of fighting at Cuerna-
vaca Thursday night proved to be UNI
true. The reports grew out of the fir
ing on a train south of Cuernayaca,
which was carrying some of FL
gueroas men to Cuernavaca. The
tram was nTeu On lIOUl dHDuSn. INO
serious damage is reported. II is
thought to have been the work of
bandits, who were not aware of the
presence of soldiers on board.
The manufacturers of cotton goods
throughout the country have joined
in asking the Federal Government for
a decrease in taxes. They assert that
unless a decrease is granted they will
have to shut down, throwing $4,000
mel out of employment. The matter
has been taken under advisement. II
is thought the Government must yield
despite the urgent necessity for rev.
enue. This number OF unemployed
with conditions so unstable would be
serious.
