can cavaIrymen hurried to the border
opposite Guadalupe, sixty miles south.
east of here, today, and awaited orders
that would send them into Mexico on
a punitive expedition that would deal
out justice with the swiftness Of Maj.
lanahorne's force.
In the hands of the Carranza COM
mander at Guadalupe, served with an
ultimatus by Gen. Bell, Jr., rested the
possibility that the ostenstatiously
cordial relations between the United
States and Mexico would be thrown
into tumble once more.
Orders Stock Returned.
BY sunset today the Mexican COM
mandant was ordered to return herd
of cattle run off the Reynolds ranch
on the American side by Mexican out
laws. If the cattle are not returned
by this time, Gen. Bell is ready to give
the command that will send the
American soldiers over the border.
According to reports from the Rey-
nolds ranch. which is just opposite
Guadalupe, the raiders were Carranz-
ista soldiers. They made swift raid,
held the American rancher and his
men back with rifles and drove off
the stock They paraded the cattle
through the streets. proclaiming their
prowess as raiders and boasting of
victory over the Americans. Rey-
nolds said that the Carranzista garri-
son made no effort to check this dis
play and apprehend the thieves.
1t was upon hearing this that Gen
Bell sent his ultimatum to the Car
rama commandant. Two troops of
American cavalry stationed at Fabena,
twenty-eight miles southeast of here,
were Immediately ordered in readiness
to move to Guadalupe.
