EXEMPLARY LIFE SAVES MAN
FROM TRIAL AS FUGITIVE

Phoenix, Ariz.. April 26.-Because
the accused man had for four years
lived a life Of exemplary conduct in
Arizona, governor George Hunt refused
to honor requisition papers for William
Frazee, wanted in Wyoming for horse
stealing.
Under the name Of Smith. Frazee
has been working at various Cochise
county ranches as a cowboy The pa
pers asking for his extraditiOn were
presented to governor Hunt by Carl
Jackson, a Wyoming officer Frazee
had previously been arrested in Co
chise and he was brought here
In a letter to the governor Of WyOm-
ing. Hunt states:
The denial OF this requisition was
based. broadly. upon the ground that
the alleged fugitive has for the last
four years been a resident Of exemplary
conduct in the state OF Arizona, has
gained the respect Of his numerous as
sOciates in the city Of Douglas. and has
shown no tendency toward reverting
to a life Of laWlessness. It is. cOnse-
quently. my firm belief that the ends
Of justice have been fully served and
that the purpose Of any punishment
that might have been inflicted for the
offense originally alleged to have been
committed, has been properly fulfilled

JUAREZFEARSAN
ATTACK BY ENEMY
Ammunition Struggled Over
Below Ysleta, Report
Garrison Is Reduced.

During the last two or three days n
persistent rumOr has been circulating
around FL PasO streets TO the effect
that a bunch Of Mexicans, not Nillstas
have been purchasing large quantities
of rifles and ammunition in the United
States and shipping it TO this city.
Night before last. IT is said, two
yyaeonloads Of munitions Of war were
hauled from this city to Ysleta, Il
miles south OF here. Mexicans living
near Ysleta declare that the wagons
went down to the river bed, unlOaded
their cargo and returned to FL PasO the
same night One report gives IL that
this supply Of arms and ammunition
was picked up by a bunch Of mounted
Mexicans, who rode across the Rio
Grande from the Mexican side and
into Mexico.
Although American officers at Fort
Bliss and department OF justice officials
in this city have kept close watch, II
is not known who the responsible per
sons are, but II is believed that either
Carranza or Huertista agents are max
ing active preparations TO make an at
tack on JuareZ-
Juarez, it is said. is garrisOned BY
only 500 men. most Of the troops having.
been sent to Gen Villas concentration
camp at Aguascalientes, nearly 1OOV
miles away.

MEXICAN OFFICERS CANNOT
COME TO AMERICAN SIDE

American military authorities alOng
the entire border. have received orders
to prevent the entry into the United
States Of any persons known to be
soldiers of any Mexican faction. It is
believed that this order grew out OF
conditions caused by recent border
fighting opposite Naco, AriZ., and
Brownsville, Texas
Heretofore officers OF the Carranza
and Villa armies have been permitted
witwhOut restraint TO visit American
border towns. where their appearance
in fun uniform on the streets became
common The border patrol under d.
rectiOn Of Gen. J. J. Pershing at Fort
Bliss, now has orders not only TO pre-
vent these officers from entering the
United States. but to deport immedi-
ately those already found here who are
proved 10 be connected with any fac
tiOn.
BY this means it is expected to pre-
vent the condition which has Occa-
stoned the indefinite imprisonment OF
several Mexican officers in American
army posts. In many cases these men
were held until such time as il be-
came impossible to deport them with
out placing them into the hands OF
enemies who might cause their imme
diate execution.
Several Of those still held at ameri-
gan government expense are at outs
with both Of me Mexican factions
controlling border and coast ports.
Their deportation, it is believed. by
officials, would be equivalent to their
death sentence.
