WAR WITH MEXICO
IS A POSSIBILITY

Washington, Oct. Following a
conference with the president, Secre-
tary of War Garrison admitted send
ing vigorous requests to Governor
Hunt of Arizona, asking him to re-
frain from sending militia to the

Mexico.
Secretary Garrison said that the
President has sent several messages
to Governor Hunt dwelling on the
danger to the nation if he sends the
militia. He said the situation is one
of the utmost delicacy, and the Pres
ident alone must handle it, since the
Slightest illconsidered, move might
cause catastrophe.

Paso that he has concentrated four
teen troops of cavalry at Naco, two
at Douglas and two more are en-
route to Douglas from Columbus, AriZ.

United States troops already are there
doing everything possible to prevent
injury to life and property on this
side of the border, short of declar
ing war on Mexico, and that the pres
once of state troops would only COM
plicate matters.

Tobo, wanted in Mexico, for a mur-

arrested near Seeley yesterday after
noon by Deputy. United States Mar
shall Bassett and George Webb, head
Of the Calexico immigration office.
On information that the Mexican was
employed on a ranch east of Seeley,
Bassett came to Ell Centre Monday
with q warrant and extradition papers
from officials at Washington. The
requisition for the arrest of Tobo
was issued during the administration
of Madero, two years ago. Prepared
in case the murderer offered resist
ance, the two officers left for the
Drew Harrington ranch, where Tobo
was residing. While searching there
they came upon the man asleep in
the shade of haystack He was
overpowered and handcuffed before
any resistance could be made. That
he was constantly on guard to escape
arrest is the belief of officers here,
as he was armed with a rifle when
taken into custody. Two years age
Inspector Webb engaged in running
gun fight after an unsuccessful at
tempt to capture the fugitive, but up
to the present time Tobo's where
abouts have remained mystery. He
will probably be returned to Mexico
