possibilities of this kind of farming
from real experiences
About eight years ago Mr.. Simpson

 DOUGLAS. June 23.-Five American ranchers. led by Red" Seeley, known throughout Arizona for his ability as fighter, are making their way overland from their ranches in the Nacozari dis trict of Sonora to Naco, according to word received here today. One report from Nacozar, which United States officials were trying to confirm, said d body of Mexican soldiers were endeav- bring to locate the ranchers. Some ap- prehension was felt for their safety
 Persons here who have Known Seeley for some time. said he had planned several months ago for the escape of himself and other 4ranchers of Sonora should there be danger of international trouble. According to these persons, Seeley and his companions had cached supplies of food and ammunition in a cave and had mapped out their route to the border
 A consignment of silver bullion from the Fl Tigre mines, and five cars of copper concentrate from Nacozari were allowed to cross the border to Douglas today by General F. Elias Gales, Mexi- can commander at Agua Prieta. 1 In return, the United States patrol at the customs house here passed a carload of beans and other provisions to Agua Prieta. The car, however, was i held north of the line and the pro visions hauled to car on the Mexican side in wagons.
 ! Some excitement was aroused in Agua Prieta for a short time when the cars of concentrate were brought to the border by arguments of United i States customs officials in endeavoring to induce the Mexican train crew to place the cars north of the derailing switch at the line.
 The MeXicans sent the cars across the border by flying start and

 CARRANZA SOLDIERS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON. June 23.-General Pershings report indicating that the American cavalry command engaged at Carrzal was the object of a treacher- ous attack by Carranza soldiers and virtually was wiped out, stirred Wash ingtcn tonight with deeper apprehen- sion than has been aroused by any other development in the series which nave brought the two countries to the brink of war
 While no official would make a:3y statement whatever to indicate the probable course of the United States should the report prove true, there were many grim evidences that ten- sion had been greatly increased. Pres- dent Wilson, who had retired before the news reached Washington. was awakened and talked with Secretary Baker over the telephone At the war department officials apparently credit ed for the first time the story that the Mexican troops had been guilty of an act which could lead only to the most serious consequences.
 Late tonight the Pershing report told
 
 of in news dispatches had not Aached the war department officially. A re- 1 port received from the commander in 1 Mexico however said that seven negro soldiers who had held the horses of the others and had become separated from them in the fight, had struggled ! into the field base at Colonia Dublan and repeated the version of the incl dent told of in messages from General i Pershing received earlier in the day | The dispatch tonight said that at the time 1t was written there had been nc | definite indication of the number of | American casualties.
 i General Scott. chief of staff, in giving out the dispatch emphasized that fail ure to get in touch with survivors Of 1 the fight could not in itself be accepted l as indicating that the command had ! been annihilated. He pointed out that 1 Carrizal was sixty miles from the ] American base and that three or foui l days would be only a reasonable time for troop to travel that distance over 1 the broken country of Northern Mexico (COntinued on Page Eight)
