tension that has held the border
since the Carrizal encounter.

along the Texas and New Mexican

They We're killed i'm their ranch home
southwest of Hachita, N. NJ, after a |

the raid, offering fresh evidence of |
Mexican inability to protect the in |
ternational boundary seemed to add |
to the difficulties of the situation.
Ranch Near the Line.
Military authorities here last night !
doubted that the marauders, who are
believed to have been members of a !
band of stock thieves known to have
"a lair in the fastness of the Sierra
'Madres, south of the New Mexico bor-
der, would be overtaken before they
crossed into Mexico pointing out that |
the ranch is but four miles from the |
line.
Officers of the American border
patrols had been unable to learn to- |
night whether any of the cavalry de-
fachments ordered in pursuit had !
crossed the border because of the iso-
lation of the district, conviction was
expressed, however. that if the troops |
discovered the raiders trail, they
nave followed them into Mexican ter
rltcry. 1t is not believed however, in |
the event they have crossed the bor- |
der that they will encounter any Car
ranzistas troops, all available reports |
here indicating the larger Mexican
forces having been concentrated east
and south of the district in Chihua-l
'nua and westward of 1t in Sonora.
