FOUR CHINAMEN IN
REFRIGERATION CAR

and Are Almost Frozen
When Taken Out

Four Cinnamon, concealed in re
frigerator car in the Texas & Pacific
railroad yards, were placed under ar
rest by immigration officer Buttner
Sunday afternoon about o'clock The
Cinnamon evidently were trying TO
make their way to Chicago, as the re-
frigerator car was billed for that city,
and il is believed that they came from
Ciudad Juarez during the night, as the
immigration officials mad learned that
four would try to cross the border dur
ing the night. They had made their
way into the country safely, but the
immigration men got them before they
could get out Of town.
When the Cinnamon we're taken from
the car they were nearly frozen and
were unable to speak at first Inside
the refrigerator car the floor was COW
cred with ice, and the men had evil

light, awaiting for the car to be moved.
They had two cans of water and a sack
of bread in preparation for their jour
ney. The men were concealed in one
end Of the car back Of several boxes.
