 Americans on Guard
 By permission of the prefect of the district. Benjamin G. Hill. the Can snea Consolidated company sent a guard of fifteen Americans to Puer- tocitos. where they are now stationed on guard duty. They will probably be relieved by federal soldiers later.
 Move Objected To
 That Americans were armed and placed on guard and scout duty seemed to be objected to by some Of the lower class Mexican people. and for this reason the prefect caused pub lished the laws pertaining to that matter. for the benefits of the cit izens. and which are as follows:
 Article 37.-All foreigners are ex- empt from military service, but all residents are obliged to act on police duty when called on for the mainte- nance of law and order, or any other disturbance endangering lives in the city in which they reside.
 Article An foreigners who ac- quire real estate or mining proper ty. in accordance with this law, are obliged to render military service whenever law and order demands it, for the protection of property in the community where they reside Out. side of such cases they are not fore ed to do service.
 Copies of this law, in Spanish, were distributed today throughout the city.

 Americans Near Death
 Ray Reid, stenographer for the Can anea Cattle company. had a narrow escape from death or injury on Mon day morning when rebels under Cain pa raided the Turkey Track camp near Villa Verde. Reid had been spending his vacation with the cow boys and was with the outfit which was in charge of 700 head of steers which were being handled for the Bacanuchi ranch and being taken to the line for importation into the Unit ed States. Reid was accompanied by Abe lesson and oscar Sims. besides a number Of Mexican cowboys. On Monday morning at a little before g o'clock the three Americans were rid ing to the rear Of the cattle when a Mexican cowboy in charge of the extra horses came up and conveyed message to Sims. Sims then turned and went back, the other Americans believing that he was to exchange the horse he was riding for a better one. Reid, however thought that the word brought by the Mexican had some thing to do about the rebels. and aft CT they had continued on their way for about five minutes they noticed large number of borsemen coming oy- CT a hill about a quarter of mile be- hind them. Soon they espied a big red flag which was carried by one of the men. Rebels" was the thought that flashed through their minds and their next move was to turn their horses towards the United States and make for the line. The rebels saw their move and opened fire upon them, l ten shots being fired, without effect. 1 Three rebels were sent to their right l and three to the left in an effort 10 head them off. But they had fresh | horses and managed to make their l getaway. riding towards the San Jose 1 mountains, where the country is very l rough The Americans did not stop | running their horses until they ar rived in Nsco. about IS miles away, 1 making the distance in an hour and | a half.
