talions OF Pennsylvania infantry, one
of the Second regiment and one of the
Tenth, broke camp here today and
prepared to entrain for Marathon,
Tex. 1t was reported at military
headquarters that the state troops had
been ordered to reinforce the border
patrol in the Big Bend district.
The orders followed closely reports
from that district that Mexican BAN
dts have raided the Lamula mine, an
American. property about 100 miles
south of the border, and that residents
along the frontier, near Boquillas,
Tex, feared the outlaws were moving
north
Belief was expressed in military
circles that it was the Band that Cen
eral Carranza referred to when he
repeatedly warned the State depart
ment that he was informed that Vii
lista bandits were moving north from
Jiminez with the intention of attack
ing the American border.
Mexican authorities in Juarez said
today they were without information
concerning the band, but assumed if
the reports of the raiding of the mine
are correct, it was done by one of
the detachments of the Villistas, who
scattered, following the recent attack
upon Jiminez. liz

Prevents Jail Break

Central City, July l2.-(Special,)- )-
A bold attempt by Ross Kinneman
and Edward Tague to break jail in
this city at about 8 o'clock last eve
ming was frustrated by Sheriff Frank
L. Scudder, following brief but ex-
citing struggle. A double attack had
evidently been planned, but SO quickly
was Kinneman overpowered that
Tague lost his nerve and made no
open endeavor to assist.
Upon search Sheriff Scudder found
in .Tague's possession club more
than a foot in length. Stripping a
blanket he had wrapped half brick
tightly, braiding his weapon with
piece of light wire, Kinneman had
billie" of identical construction. This
he lost in his struggle with the heriff.
Tague has pleaded guilty to charge
of horse stealing and is being held
awaiting sentence by the district

district court of criminally assaulting

tracks lead off alone for 144 feet to
a cluster of four trees. Here the

was dead. Then he went back There
is no other explanation for these

tracks were still distinct when Fred
Wenban traced them the next day.
If this defendant, as he testified,

German Lloyd company has received
IRON persons in all parts of the coun-
try offers running as high as $4,000
for the privilege of taking passage on
the submarine on its return trip.
we have had letters from some
persons" said representative OF the
company today, who said that they
would pay any price we wanted.
There was one $4,000 offer, several
of $4,000 and virtually scores run
ming from $1,000 to $4,000. These
we have had to refuse. Nearly all of
them came from Americans. There
are, of course, thousands of Ger
mans in this country who would like
to get back to their native land, but
no passengers will be carried"
Cargo Nearly Unloaded.
The unloading of the Deutschland
was being hastened today and may be
completed tonight. Included in the
cargo entered at the customs house
is quantity of scrap iron which it
was necessary to bring as ballast.
The space this occupied will be re-
placed with nickel on the return.
The fact that the tug Thomas F.
Tibbins went into dry dock today
for repairs gave rise to rumors that
it was getting ready to return to the
Virginia capes to convoy into the
Chesapeake, as it did the Deutsch-
land, the submarine Bremen, which
is reported on its way II the focal
agents have any knowledge OF the
date the Bremen is expected, they
are keeping the secret closly guarded.
1t was thought, on the other hand,
that the tugs first duty would be to
escort the Deutschland back to the
capes, 1t was intimated today at the
North German-Lloyd offices that the
Deutschland might drop anchor sew
cral days at Norfolk and wait for the
most favorable opportunity to slip by
enemy cruisers which may be waiting
for it.
