NELSON Is DROPPED.
When seemingly caught in its first
snag, the Mcnamara murder trial in
an instant yesterday twisted itself out
of a situation which had worried op-
posing counsel since last Wednesday
and for the remainder OF the day, at
least went ahead joyfully.
Gould you set aside your opinion
sufficiently to enable you to give fair
and impartial verdict" was the ques-
tion put to the talesman, L. T. Nelson,
by Judge Walter Bordwell supple
menting the earlier examination by At
torney Clarence S. Darrow, chief of
counsel for James Mcnamara Nell

questions to elicit his views and he had
answered all of them without clearing

 That a searching military inquiry in being made into all Of the facts and circumstances surrounding the fighting at Agua Prieta ana the ac Jion Of American o--icers and sol. diers during the recent revolution ary troubles across the line and Ir the vicinity of this city Is eyldens to the close observer. What the scope Of that investigation is or for what purposes it is being made IS laeurally not disclosed and 1t is not expected that anything wiu be di- Eulged until after a report. has been submitteo to the war department at Washington. It would not be proper under the circumstances for any of the officers engaged in the inyes- ugation to make any statements or siye out any information for pubIi- cation
 ! Each day in the military offices in the Gadsden hotel, Major Win ship, the judge advocate, md other officers may be seen in session. They are studying maps and exam ming witnesses. It is evident they are making a full and thorough in vesdgation. This does not near that any officer Is charged with any derclicdon of duty or malfeasance in office, it merely means that the war department wants the full facts and Circumstances. Should the in- .vestigators discover anything of the kind they would merely show it in their report and under those cir .cumstances court martial might be ordered. The one sure thing is that the United States government will have all the evidence as to all hap TenIngs before 1t when the pres ent investigation is ended.
 Yesterday afternoon all Of the fed eral prisoners taken the day of the first fight in Agua Prieta when the town was surrendered to inc insur- rectos were closely questioned anC their statements taken down. Whas .disposit,on will be made of these prisoners has not been announced, but 1t appears likely that they will be paroled as few of them want to return to their native land and go into further fighting. They desire to get work and remain Tn this country where they have been so well treated as quasi prisoners.

 Rio Grande

 Fighting in the JTeHenes during the battle of Agua Prieta two weeks ago. were l.. A. Talbert and W. Tur- ner, Americans, who had become in oculated with a burning desire to see the Diaz government overthrown and greater degree of liberty estab- lished in Mexico. When the com manders abandoned the fight a number of the insurrectos who had so valiant,y held the town against the assaults of the enemy, threw away their arms and came across the international line.
 Remaining here for several days, they then disappeared. Talbert and Turner decided that they would like to have a look at General Madero, the man who started the rebellion and who is now the admired leader of those who have joined in the fight against the abuses which have grown up under the Diaz govern. ment They returned to Douglas Saturday and both called at the In. ternauonai office.

MAYOR MEGUIRE IN
 BRIGHT LIhELIGHT
Gets Many Inquiries from All Over Country Concerning
 Recent Battle
Douglas International.)

Publicity may be ali very pleas ant at the time. but 1t sometimes entails trouble and extra work later Such is the case with Mayor Me guire. He was decidedly in the iimelight before the country when Douglas was under fire from fed eral and insurrecto guns across the border and his name became known to thousands the country over from his mention in various newspaper stories. Knowing his name, people who want any information on any subject relative to Douglas or the vicinity find it easy to write him and make inquiries for the knowl- edge they wish to obtain. This is pleasant enough for the writers, but should "hizoner" attempt to meet all the demands made upon his time he would need an assistant
 Since the battle of Agua Prieta there has not been a day that Mayor Mcguire has not received let ters from persons entirely unknown to him. Many of these are merely inquiries as to missing relatives be- l.eved to be with the insurrecto force, but others are on subjects en- tirely foreign to the war. One in stance of this kind may be cited. A man writes that he has an offer for a trade on some Sulphur Springs valley land, wants to know where the land is located as to Douglas. whether it contains as many acres as represented, how many and what buildings are on 1t. whether there is any well on 1t, and what about artesian water possibilities. This one is simply a sample of others and shows what publicity will do

REBELS GET FIELD

It was learned today from what
 pDesr to be perfectly authentic sources that the rebels south of Agua Prieta have obtained a field piece and a small quantity of am intuition for 1t. This they purpose using. 1t Is stated, in another at tack on the town if the peace pac, snail not be arrange1.
 There have been frequent reports that rebels or federals had artillery wlth them. but beyond a few ma chine guns operated by tue federals no artillery has been seen. Now it is reported that the Sonora rebels have obtained and have in one of
 heir camps near Agua Prieta z 1reech loading gun which is said
 be Of modern type. The repcr
 avs that thus far but f00 rounds If ammunition have been obtainec or it and that the insurrectos ar. seeking to obtain and cross the line 600 more rounds.
 Reports received from between here and Fl Tigre are to the effect that the power transn,sslon line has been cut in several places and the linemen intimidated so that they sill come in. Another report is that the supplies and provisions gc- ing from Yzabel to Fl Tigre have been interfered with and that the wagon trains may be discontinued for this reason.
 Fron. Cumpas comes a story of two young Americans entering the town, robbing several stores, leav- ing and again returning. when they were met by armed citizens and a fight ensued in which one of the Americans was killed and the other wounded, and one Mexican killed and others wounded.
 The American killed is said to lave been a deserter from the U. s. army. but 1t Is denied that he Vas Marion. who escaped from ja:l fl Douglas and made his way across the line just before the battle ot Agua Prieta
 This morning another force of fed erals arrived from the west. There were two small bodies in advance followed by eighty-four men, in all numbering between 125 and 150 They had packs and supplies wit them and appeared to have come from a distance. As they approach ed, watchers near the custom house say they were puzzled to determine what some Of the men were carry ing on their heads. but say that on closer approach it was seen to Dc toards or blanks. What these were for or where brought from the ob servers do not know.
