THEY KNOW KELLY.

The Bisbee Review of today says
regarding the visit OF Editor Geo. H.
Kelly. of the Douglas International,
to that city:
George II. Kelly. editor OF the Doug.
las International was in the city
yesterday on a business visit. He
visited Warren. Lowell and the city
proper. He was very much impress
sed with the building activity in War
rem and was shown the site where
the court house is to be placed when
it is moved from Tombstone. He
remained over night here and left
this morning for Tombstone. where
he expects to remain for part of a
day at least 1t is doubtful II the
citizens of Tombstone will let him
stay over night, as they know that
he has evil designs on the court
house"

DOUGLAS. Jan. 29-Eariy last
night two United States cavalrymen
on patrol duty on the international
boundary crossed into Mexico by
mistake. going short distance
across the line before they found
out they were, on Mexican soil.
They were north Of A avenue when
they took the wrong path, the mark
ings of the boundary being indis-
tinct at that place. When they
discovered that they were out Of
Uncle Sans domain, they immedi-
ately turned their horses toward
Douglas and at full speed headed
hard for the land of the free" Al
ready sighted by Mexican guards
and commanded to halt, they paid
no heed, but kept squirting their
mounts for greater speed. The two
soldiers were armed and the Mexi-
cans who called to them probably
were too, but no shots were fred.

Learning Of the intended visit of
the general. the people of Aqua

their city. While this project has

@ho favors the construction of the
road. will be asked to make the
building of the line a certainty, and
to have work start on it immediate
ly.
II is known that the Mexican Gus
toms men are anxious to have the
road built in order that the customs
house at Naco may be done away
with, and have all the business at
that place brought to Aqua Prieta.
1t is the aim to have the line from
San Jose to Naco removed entirely.
The Mexican government is anx-
ious to have a border railroad from
Aqua Prieta TO Nogaies, and at ia.
rious times in the past has made
known this wish to the Southern
Pacific company. This road would
give Aqua Prieta direct rail COM
