CROSSED bridge
TO Save time

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Special.-A
thorough investigation is to be made
by army officials into the accidental
invasion" of Mexican territory
Thursday at Juarez, opposite Ell PaSO,
when Lieutenant Ben w. Fields took
a detachment of the Eighteenth In
fantry across the international boun-
dairy on loop trolley car. Lieuten-
ant Fields has been placed under ar
rest at FL Paso pending the outcome.
While the War Department is con-
WINGED that the mistake was due to
the unfamiliarity of Fields and his
men with the fact that the trolley car
they boarded was to cross into MeXi-
can territory before reaching it's final
destination on American soil, it is de-
sired that this fact be thoroughly i'm
pressed on the Mexican officials.
The Mexican GoVernm ent has
promised the United States to pro-
tect the ten Americans at Tlahualilo,
State of Durango.
At Palomas on the border line just
south of Columbus. N. NJ, the rebels
are reported to be permitting goods
of all kinds to come into Mexico at
one-half the regular tariff duties.

ant Benjamin w. Fields, of the Eighth
Infantry, who was arrested ar Fort
Bliss yesterday for having led his men
