INVADING ARMY
MADE PRISONERS
Deputy Sheriff Captures 'InsurTecto
Force"-Two Men Hunting
Lost Horse
By Don H. Kedzie.)

Lordsburg, N NJ, Sept. 10-Deputy
sheriff Nick Hughes came into town this
afternoon bringing with him single hand
ed the entire Invading Mexico insur-
reeto army" that caused so much eX-
eitement at Brockman and the Muir
ranch last night.
Nick did not have much trouble in
capturing the army. as they were old
friends and consisted of Jesus Reyes and
Manuel Bieiones, both of Duncan, Ariz.,
where they have lived for years.
A few days ago they lost a horse and
followed the trail of the thief until it
brought them near the Mexican. line.
There they were advised by a friend to
give up the chase for the horse, as they
might be mistaken for insurreetos by
some army officer OF cowboy and might
have more trouble than the horse was
worth, so they started for home and
some scared person, seeing them, imme
diately spread the story of the invading
insurrectos.
