CLASH OF CARRANZISTAS AND U. S..
TROOPS REPORTED NEAR NAMIQUIPA

would prevent the de facto forces under
General Francisco Scrrano and General
JaCinto Trevino from attacking the Ameri-
can forces at III VILE and Colonia Dublan
1t is thought that Serrano would immedi-
atcly cvaCuate Juarez, for the big guns of
the United states army mounted north of
the Rio Grande could blast the city to
splinters within a few hours.
READY TO EvACUATE.
A number of railway trains are being
held at Juarcz for immediate use should the
MeXicans decide upon evacuation of the
border town.
General Pershipg's first move should
move come, would doubtless be n drive
against Chihuahua City, the chief base Of
the Carranzista army in the State of Chi
huahua. The flower of the Mexican army
is concentrated in the city and with that
post in the hands of the United States
troops the MeXicans would have to scatter
to prevent their capture.
However General PershinS would have n
difficult task to perform in carrying out this
enterprise Strong Mexican forces have
taken up strategic positions in the district
around NamiQuipa. General Alvaro Obro-
gon, the Minister of War in the de faCto
Government, who is a strategist of high
order personally directed the distribution
of the troops.
The main Mexican force in the Nami-
qupa region is posted on high ground with
a river between it and the Americans. This
would make the use of artillery necessary
for the Mexicans would probably have to be
shelled out of their trenches to prevent
heavy loss Of American life.
Chihuahua City has been fortified with
artillery posted on the hills dominating the
city
MEXICANS RECRUITING.
Active recruiting of MeXicans on the
American side of the border is stirring the
Federal authorities to vigorous action. In
this connection the military are co-operat-
Ing with the civil officers OF the Govern

Paso, Douglas Nogales and other border
towns for the Mexican recruiting agents.
In Nogales the American investigators
discovered Jesus Fontez, an officer OF the
Carranzistas army, actively engaged in en-
listing Mexicans. Fontez and two aides
were taken into custody, but not before
they had induced l6 Mexicans living in

WASHINGTON LAYS PLANS TO MEET
ANY ATTACK BY CARRANZA ARMY
WASHINGTON. Inne ..

WASHINGTON. June 21.
There was speculation on all sides to-
day as TO the probable course of the
President should Carranz,. order an attack
on General Pershing's men in the face OF
the American Governments solemn warn
ming. 1t was generally believed that
hint contained in the note-that military
occupation OF northern Mexico had been
considered as an alternative at times when
the situation beyond the border appeared
critical-mght indicate the plan OF action
should war now be forced upon the nation.
AS a preliminary step 70 such an occu-
patton and pending the Organization OF an
army OF the size such an undertaking
would require II was regarded as pos
sible that a general advance from the
border to a line paralleling the head OF
General Pershing's column at Namiquipa
might be undertaken. With American
forces disposed along such a line holding
important towns and strategic points from

Hundreds of schoolchildren and a large

pcating his previous statements that Mexico
was not seeking war with the United States.
There was no disorder.
General Mujica, Governor Of the state Of
Tabasco, informed General Carran2a last
night that many Americans in his territory
did not wish to leave the country in case
of war and asked permission to remain.
Carran2a sent an immediate reply, instruct
ing MujCa to permit the Americans to re-
main and in all cases to give them the same
protection accorded other foreigners.

1t was pointed out that establishment of

TAKE TIME ABOUT
THRESHING WHEAT
FARMERS WARNED NOT TO DO II
WHILE THE BUNDLES ARE
STILL DAMP.

Farmers should not be in hurry
about threshing their wheat this year.
There has been SO much rain and the
shocks are so thoroughly wet especial
ly the bundles that are resting on the
watersoaked ground, that it is going
to take long time to thoroughly dry
out. The heads may be perfectly dry,
but the butts of the shocks will be
water-soaked and when they go through
the thresher the water will impregnate
the grain and render it unfit for mill
ing. Several millers who we're at The
Herald office this morning, declared
that from an experience of several
years they knew the facts above stated
and asked The Herald to sound this
warning to the farmers. This would
save loss that otherwise would accrue.

there is still no change In the sit

In its report made to Judge Turner
upon adjournment on Saturday after
noon the grand jury declared that the
penal institutions of Maury county and
the poor house were in splendid shape.
Inmates of the poor house and the
work house are being well and hui
namely treated. The work on the coun-
ty highway from Kedron to Neapolis
is well done and good progress is be-
ing made. Superintendent Akin and
the guards are commended.
A good word is spoken for the poor
house management, but it is recon-
mended that a new barn be construct
ed there. The court house and jail
are in fine shape.
The report if the jury follows:
1--WE, the grand jurors for the May
term, 1916, respectfully report as fol-,
lows:
"1st. We have examined the guar
dians' bonds for the county, and report
all as good and solvent.
"2nd We have visited the county
Jail and find conditions there very sat
isfactory. We would recommend that
doors be furnished for the cells down
stairs. 1t is often necessary to COM,
bine crazy persons and there should
be place for them to be closely con-
fined. We would also recommend that
the upstairs porch of the residence
part of the Jail be painted This is
badly needed.
"3rd. We have had committee
visit the county poor farm, and find
conditions there very satisfactory. The
farm is in fine condition, crops look
we'll, and the stock and cattle are in
fine shape. However, we would rec
ommend that the county build another
barn, to take care of crops and the
live stock machinery There are rs
paupers at the farm, and they all
seemed we'll cared for and comfortable
18th. The whole jury visited the
work house, now situated in the Third
district of the county, near Kedron.
We examined into conditions at the
camp and viewed the road being built,
the prisoners at work, etc. The camp
is we'll located in clean and healthy
place, and is well laid out, The sani-
tary conditions there are all that could
be expected. The only recommended
ton that we would make about the
camp is that shelter of some kind
be erected over the tables where the
prisoners eat. This could be done
cheaply by putting up fly tent. The
work being done on the road is in,
every way satisfactory. The road is
built from Rally Hill to about mile
and half south of Kedron, making
about six miles in all completed. 1t is
a good macadamized road. They have
also graded another mile south of the
completed road. The prisoners seem
to be we'll fed and we'll trained and
their work is satisfactory The super
intendent and his assistants and guards |
are to be commended for the work
they are doing. 4
THE condition of the Court House
is satisfactory.
