SENTRiES WOUND
WOMAN SnUGGlER

DOUGLAS. Aug. 15.-There has
been considerable trouble al the
boundary line here within the last
few days. Yesterday Mexican Consul
Arredondo was called on from Aqua
Prieta to investigate a report that
American sentries had shot at two
boys. II developed. according to the
American version this morning. that
no shots whatever had been fred by
the sentries. The boys tried 10 cross
the line without permission. The
sentries caught one but the other sue
ceeded in getting across.
Saturday night a Mexican woman
was shot while she was smuggling
sugar across the line She is still! in
Aqua Prieta and a surgeon from this
side Of the line is attending her. Her
husband is said TO have been assist
ing her in her operations. IN her
hurried flight she dropped some of the
cube sugar she was carrying The
bullet fired by the American sentry
entered the upper part OF the lung
II is reported today that TWO de
serters from the American army have
been placed on duty as Mexican Gus
toms guards at Aqua Pricta. and car
ry revolvers with them. They wear
khaki pants There is also a story
that the American guards shot two
hurrns they ordered &c h2!:. bu: :a;s
has the appearance of a fiction made
up az the expense Of the sen.ries.

al in Cochise county in an item head
cd Tombstone Plays Smootl Game
in Removal Fight" says:
When the matter of county seat
removal came up before the Board Of:
Supervisors there was no opposition
BY the Warren District and Tomb
stone as there was some months ago
when another petition was fled. II
is the general opinion in the Warren
District and the rest OF the county
that Douglas picked good time to
lose in the fight for removal on ac-
count of the war if nothing else. The
capital issues committee will not ap-
prove a bond issue and the present
law makes it compulsory to remove
the county seat in sixty days to the
new location and in this case il would
mean that the Offices and records
would be scattered all over Douglas
in buildings rented at enormous rent
ais for an indefinite period. In order
to remove it over sixty per cent of
the vote must be in favor with the
Warren District against it and the
rest of the county the same way.
