MORALES CUSTOMS
MAN IS ARRESTED

At Nogales last Saturday Customs Inspector Andrew O'Connor went across the international line al that place, and immediately was placed under arrest by Mexican officers. The man arrested had few days previous ly fired several shots at a Mexican smuggler. and it is the belief that this incident was partly responsible for his arrest when he crossed the border.
 It has been the custom for men in the customs service of both nations to cross the line whenever their busi- ness makes it necessary, and Mexican officers daily cross the boundary line into Douglas. some of them many times day. It was only a few days ago that a local American customs inspector was warned while in Agua Prieta that he would be placed un- der arrest if he did not return to this side at once.
 O'Connor was set at liberty a few hours after his arrest.
