PROTECTION ASKED
FOR LANGTRY, TEX.
Band of 300 Rebels Is Near the Town,
and Border Raids Are Feared;
Has Not Troops Now.

Langtry. Tex. Sept IA large body
of rebels, said to number 800, well
mounted and equipped with American
saddles, good guns and an abundance
of ammunition and with two mountain
howitzers and machine guns. are in
camp on the Cibola canyon, in Coahuila.
This band was supposed to be awaiting
Orozco. who was reported coming from
the Ojinaga country. They will 90
from the Cibola to the Burro mountains,
where revolutionary recruits are now
mobilizing.
The camp on the Cibola Is only about
80 miles from Langtry, which. has
caused some uneasiness among the peo-
pie here, fearing a raid on border
ranches, or perhaps on the town itself
An appeal has been sent to Gov. Col
quit for protection.
Langtry is of easy access, being sit
uated on the bluffs bordering the Rio
Grande and within easy gunfire of the
Mexican side. There is a number of
good fords on the river close by.
There are no state officers of any
sort stationed here, and only two Gus
toms guards, so in case of a raid it
would be up to the residents to defend
their property. The town could be
easily surprised
