TICKS AND BIG GUNS ENFORCE QUARANTINE
 ALONG THE BORDER
Dr. H. M. Hart Establishes quar- antlne Against Agua Prieta; Maytorena's Big Guns at Naco Establish 0he Against Him.

Due to the presence of Margaropus
 Annulatus, which are the hierogly.
 phics by which veterinarians desie.
 nate what common cattlemen call
 Texas fever ticks, the port of Doug las was yesterday declared closed
 against the importation of cattle from
 Mexico, the quarantine having been established by Dr. Harry M. Hart. fed eral veterinarian for this district It may remain closed for six months. as once the ticks begin to spread it takes time to get them completely eradicat- ed
 Word of the closing of the port was brought to Bisbee yesterday by Dr. Hart, who established the quarantine against Agua Prieta yesterday after finding the ticks on cattle which he examined in the morning. This leaves Naco as the only port of entry in this district though Nogales is open in the adjoining district
 Yesterday afternoon Dr. Hart went to Naco from Douglas, his headquart- CTS, in his new Stutz car 10 inspect hundred or more steers which it was desired to bring into the United States Before admitting them it was necess- ary to dip the entire herd, one at time, which process would take an hour or so. The vats are right on the line, and are in easy range of MT Maytorena's big guns, with no ob- structons between.
 It is known that Monsieur Maytor- ena is pretty much peeved because Herr Hill is permitting the importa- ton of cattle through the port of Ma co and because it is said he is wax ing fat off of the high export duty charged. Furthermore, it is alleged that Mr Maytorena has one of his Big Bens-a gun that makes a noise like an alarm clock in the still small hours of a winter morning-trained right on the dipping vat in Naco, the place where cattle are sterilized and then shot across the line And it is further asserted that the fighting gov ernor of Sonora would rather kill a steer than to have him steered across | the line
 Dr. Hart has had considerable ex- perience in revolutions and nearrev- OlutiOns along the border the past i three years and when be reached Ma | co 1t didn't take him long to size up | the situation. Every minute or so | some big gun belched forth in tones | which seemed to say Safety First" l The doctor has new brand neW | Stutz car. which looks SO fresh and ! pretty it seems shame to take it | out of the parlor. and the doctor had visions of a Maytorena shell striking 1 right in the middle of the dipping vat and splashing the vile fluid all over | his new car. Of course the thought 1 of a shell striking him never entersl | his mind
 So the doctor consulted his lawyer | and a few minutes later notified Gen | Hill that by advice of counsel he had | decided to stand on his constitutional rights and that no cattle would be | dipped or inspected by him that day. | As a result the baptizing of the cattle | in the sanitary fluid that washes all | their scales away was postponed in- definitely
 With Douglas Quarantined on ac- count of ticks and Naco in practically in the same condition by virtue of s guns, it is impossible to import cattle into the United States in this district, all of which may have the effect of urging Messrs Maytorena and Hill 10 renewed activity.
