Officers Think Battle With Mexi'

and Attach Little Signi-
ficance To 1t

San Antonio, Oct 21.-American
troops and Mexicans clashed near
San Jose in the Big Bend country
yesterday afternoon, according to a
report received by General Fun
ston from Col. Joseph CASTOR, COM
mander of the district. The fight
lasted for forty-five minutes. No
losses were suffered by the Ameri-
cans and information is lacking re-
garding loss among the Mexlcans
Washington, Oct 21-General
Funston reporting on the exchange
of shots across the border at san
Jose, said that late reports reach
ing him indicated the American
troops were fired upon by drunk
en- Mexicans."
The dispatch made no mention Of
firing by the American troopers
and said there were no casualties
on either side. Officials here were
inclined to attach little significance
to the incident believing that an
irresponsible band had blundered
upon the detachment OF Americans
and had withdrawn after firing
few desultory shots.

SHERIFF.
d. w. NALL, Herington

Experience in executive affairs
and unflinching courage are two of
the strong elements in the candi-
dacy of d. w. NALL for sheriff. He
has been tried" in many walks of
life and has proven himself up to
the standard in every way. He came
to this county 40 years ago and
probably knows more people than
any other one person. Kindness,
good nature and good deeds are big
assets and Dave Naill will never be
forgotten by thousands of people to
whom he has brought cheer and
comfort. He never goes back on
friend and his word is as good as a
bond. In the sheriff's office he will
continue his good works. Herring
ton will give him an overwhelming
vote.
