Justified in Killing
Mexican. Bell Reports

Washington, July IA report from
General Bell regarding the killing Of
a Mexican on the Mexican side of the
border at Ysleta yesterday by Sergeant
J. X. Fair, Of the 9Th Cavalry, was re-
ceived tonight at the War Department.
General Bell said the sergeant was
justified because Of the suspicious con-
duct Of the Mexican killed and a com
panion. The killing was the subject Of
a vigorous protest 10 the State Depart
ment by Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican
Ambassador Designate General Bells
report reads;
Sergeant J. K. Fair, Troop g. Sth
Cavalry, while on outpost duty at about
6:45 p. m. yesterday at Ysleta, saw
two Mexicans on the opposite side Of
the river, one of whom appeared 10
act In a very suspicious manner, drop
ping his hand toward his weapon and
jerking up his horse short Fair, be
lieving himself in danger, drew and
fired first.
Both Mexicans rode off, but one
died Of wounds. Troop commander
states he can only commend the ser
geant for his prompt action. In my
opinion IL is & very unfortunate al
fair but one that Is most likely TO oc-
cur under the conditions now existing
along the border.
"Mexicans have frequently fired on
parties on this side, and the American
soldier has reason % put no faith in
an armed man who acts suspiciously on
the opposite bank, although the orders
are most drastic and command him not
TO fire unless fired upon"
In a protest to the State Department
Mr.. Arredondo charged that an Ameri-
can trooper fired on MeXcans, who
were customs officials.
General Funston made this comment
on the incident;
at is believed that Sergeant Fair
was justified in believing himself in
danger and in firing on the Mexicans
who were threatening TO shoot at him.
In view Of the fact of the killing Of
Sergeant Harry Furman, OF the 23d In
fantry, IL is easy TO understand condi-
tions existing along the border and the
possibility of our men being killed
when armed Mexicans threaten to shoot
at them, as was done in this case"
General Funston also forwarded re-
port from General Pershing, adding the
name of Sergeant Daley Farrier to the
list Of 10th Cavalry troopers wounded
in the Carrizal engagement. Farrier
suffered slight gunshot wound in the
arm.
