Sonora Governor Notifies U. s, He Will Not Be Responsible for Ameri. can Lives-Carranza Troops Go
 Through Texas Under Guard.

ElPaso. Texas, Oct. 29.-Two bat teries of American artillery, number ing eight guns. were secretly posted after dark tonight with their muzzles pointing toward Juarez, where a Villa garrison of 1900 men had given apparently hostile signs toward American troops on border patrol.
 The first train load of the 5000 troops which General Carranza is sending through the United States from Eagle Pass, Texas, to Agua Prieta, Sonora, was expected to pass through this city soon after midnight. The passage of the troops over Amer ican soil to fight Villa in Sonora has angered the Juarez garrison, and there is danger of trouble.
 All the American soldiers stationed here, about 5000 men, were ordered Out tonight to guard the railroad over which the Carranza trains will pass, to prevent Villa supporters from at tempting to dynamite the train.
