c. F. Rinehart, noted prohibition leader was loser in the s25,OOO libel suit in which he was plaintiff against l. F Wolppe, defendant who was alleged to have said that Mir. Rine- hart had at one time served in the Iowa penitentiary for a statutory offense. All twelve jurors concurred in the verdict
 MT. Rinehart will not appeal. He left last night for the east to take up his work as head of the Chicago Dry Federation, where the largest prohibition fight is now on. He is firmly convinced that it would be useless to have a new trial inasmuch as an Arizona jury does not recog- nize islander as an offense" While he declared he did not believe in cry ing over split milk or making any sort of a vail yet he couldn't refrain from insinUations relative to the non- appearance of certain witnesses at the last minute
 All l got out of it was vindica- tion, said MT. Rinehart, who in addition to other expenses incurred by the case must pay the costs
 The courtroom in Judge Stanfords court was crowded with interested spectators yesterday morning as At torneys George J. Stoneman and Robert s. Fisher for the plaintiff and former Attorney General George Pur- dy Bullard and B. E. Maks for the defendant, presented their arguments While the testimony of the previous day was reviewed, the prohibition note was frequently sounded.
 The argument of the plaintiffs re- presentatives was that MT Wolpe's business had been affected by MT Rinehart, that he desired him out of the way, taking the surest way to do 1t by discrediting him with Dr. H. A. Hughes, with whom he was as sociated in the prohibition move ment. If Wolpe made the state ment he should be held accountable" said MT. Stoneman. "A mans char acter is the dearest thing in the world"
 Since Dr. Hughes was the only person who testified that MT. Wolpe made the remark or. put in circula- tion the rumor upon which MT. Rinehart based his suit, and could remember no other incident of the day on which it occurred. Mir Marks asked the jury to reflect on "the treacherousness of the human mem ory.'

Report Says That Head of Private Richard J. John son, American Cavalry man, Has Been Exhibited Across Rio Grande.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

BROWNSVILLE, Sept. 2S.-That the head of Private Richard J. Johnson, United States cavalryman. missing since last Fridays battle at Progresso, has been exhibited as a trophy on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande, was the statement tonight of a Mexican prisoner to Hidalgo county officials at Pharr, according to a report received here. Officials admitted they are hold ing the Mexican in connection with the disappearance of the soldier, but de- clined to confirm the report.
 The first case of direct, unprovoked attack on an American woman by Mexican outlaws was reported to the authorities here.
 The innocent victim of the attempt by MeXicans at reprisal, Miss Grace Carter, who lives near Harrington, was shot and wounded in the arm last night when she went out of the house for water Miss Carter carried a revolver and replied with three shots, none of which are believed to have taken effect.
 The Mexicans, believed to have been two in number. fired while so close to Miss Carter that the powder from the shots scOrched her forearm. Miss Car ter was alone with her mother when attacked
 The attack is attributed to the fact that a relative of Miss Carter about two weeks ago was in the party of deputies which killed MeXicans. After the shooting last night some Mexican houses on the outskirts of Harrington were searched for suspects, but no clues were found.
 The shooting intensified the bitter ness among the Americans at the growing bOldness of the Mexican ban dits.

Colonel Blockson Says If Carranza Does Not Stop Bandits American Troops Will Be Compelled to Follow Them.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

WASHINGTON, Sept 2S.-Condi tions along the Mexican border in the Brownsville district have again become acute, according to a message to the war department from Major General Funston, and a battery of mountain artillery has been dis patched to .Progresso to prevent a raid by five hundred bandits who threaten to cross into American ter ritory.
 i Colonel .Blockson, in command of the troopers near Progreso, reported through General Funston that the bandits seemed to constitute an in dependent band.
 If Carranza does not stop these bandits telegraphed Blockson, T be- llieve we shall soon be compelled to follow them across"
 Secretary Garrison said he inter preted the colonel's telegram to mean that if conditions do not improve he will find it necessary to recommend that American troops be permitted to pursue the attacking forces across the international line whenever it is necessary to deal with them.
 Information placed in the hands of the department of justice by T. R. BeuGan, AaTTdllZd CONSUL dl oeill All tonic, bears out to an extent Colonel Blocksons report that the bandits seem independent of CarranZa con trol. Beltran contends that former followers of Jesus Flores Magon, leader of the socialist movement in Lower California, have organized on the border and are working surrepti- ously to foment trouble between the United States and Mexico. There is an intimation that outside influ- ences are supplying funds for the al- legged plot and the department of jus tice officials have begun an inVesu- gation.

 CLIFTON, Sept. 2S.-Following con ferences with mine managers and union men this afternoon, Governor Hunt stated that he would probably remain here until a settlement of the strike was effected, even if it should take several weeks. Clifton Is now the tenn Torary capital of the state.
 The governor accompanied by Pri- Vate Secretary Ladd and Adjutant General Harris arrived at Clifton this morning at 1O o'clock coming by auto from Lordsburg.

Coming out he shook hands with friends on the sidewalk and made m appointment to talk with the mine managers in the afternoon. He shook hands with organizers Powell and Miller and other union men stand ing around and then returned to his !otel
 Al a conference with mine managers this afternoon he heard their side of the case and later was listening to the union men. The mine mana gers told the governor their position plainly. The Trincipal obstacle in the way of an un- derstanding with their employees they said. was the dominant influence of the Western Federation leaders who had ordered the strike.
 The governor stated he was here on fhp request of the sheriff and had no desire 10 butt in. but he intimr-ad ad that he thought the mine managers should be willing to give and take in the controversy. As governor he said he was willing to use his good offices while here in endeavoring to effect settlement
 The mine mana gers hinted that the absence of Western Federation leaders and the selection of new committee of employees free from federation infIu- ence might pave the way for a new conference. The governor replied he had no power. official or personal to Induce any one to leave the district He stated he would probably remain here until a settlement of the difficulty was effected if it took several weeks clifton is at present the temporary can ital of the state. The governor con tinued taking evidence of former en- ployes this evening relating to the wage scale and working conditions in the district.
 The governor will continue his in vestiGation of conditions tomorrow in an effort to discover some common ground on which the mine managers and strikers can be brought to a settlement The situation is very quiet, and there is no trouble of any kind.
