ANGORA GOAT is AID
TO CUSTOMS INSPECTORS

Calexico Chronicle: New facts were
disclosed yesterday in connection with
the recent success of United States
customs officers in experimenting
opium smugglers which prove beyond
a doubt the cleverness and far-sighted-
ness of the government men.
1t was not the removing of an un-
lucky number from over the door Of
the customs house that was respon-
sible for the capture of the smugglers,
according to those connected with this
branch Of government service. Some
thing more worthy than q mere ST.
perstition was the cause of the opium
being located, it is said.
Recently the customs men became
Imperial Valley press., 1916-03-14

possessed of motherless kid OF the
famous Angora breed. These animals,
according to Inspector Fred P. Buck
are known to have an extremely deli
cate sense Of smell. And now the
methods of the customs inspectors
apparently are exposed.
The little goat took distinct liking
to Inspector Buck. The latter, know
ing the rare smelling qualities of the
animal, began to familiarize it with
the odor of opium. Then the kid was
tied outside the front door of the
customs office and watched.
1t is said that the little goat found
the smell of opium so agreeable that
whenever a smuggler passed the goat
instantly would attempt to follow
him. The customs officers, each time

Governors Assurances.

Prompt action by Sheriff Applestill
led the commander of the troops in
Calexico. Captain Guy S. Norvell, to
recommend to his superior officer,
Major General ]. w. Bell of San Fran
cisco, that the troops be not with
drawn from Calexico until other
troops had arrived.
kilograms were also sent to Gov
ernor Johnson by the Press on request
cf Sheriff Applestill, reciting the sit
uation on the border, and the governor
took up the matter with the state
militia and United States army au-
thorities. One of the specific requests
sent the governor was that arms and
ammunition be sent Sheriff Applestill,
to be used in case of emergency. The
following kilograms were received last
night in reply:
"E. F. Howe, Ell Centre, CAL: The
governor directs me to advise you
that Colonel Swift, chief of staff of
the western department, states that
the two troops Of cavalry will remain
at Calexico. He says adequate pro-
lection will be given. The adjutant
general of California has no rifles or
ammunition he can send you. His
equipment is the property of the fed
eral government, and permission
would have to be. obtained from it.
"MARTIN c. MADSEN,
Executive Secretary"
Following this came this telegram
from Governor johnson:
"Fresno, CAL, March BE. F..
Howe, Ell Centre, CAL: My office and
the adjutant general of our state, at
my request, have replied to the tele-
grams of yourself and your sheriff.
If the federal authorities withdrawn
their garrison and leave your people
unprotected, have your officials, in
accordance with our code, call upon
me for the militia, and / will not be
slow to act.
"HIRAM w. JOHNSON,
Governor"
Supervisor Shepard also wired the
governor last evening and received as
surances of protection, and messages
were also sent from Calexico.
With assurances from both the
United States military authorities, it
is evident this section will not be over
looked in the preparation for protect
ing the valley, and there will be no
further apprehension, no matter how
serious the conflict between the coun-
tries may become.
This morning Supervisor Shepard
received reply to his dispatch from
Adjutant General Thomas saying:
"The governor last night referred
your telegram to me for immediate at
tention. The situation is being gone
into thoroughly"
