and taken to the hospital in No
gales, Sonora. 1t is reported
that he died before reaching the
hospital.
Immediately the facts were
telephoned to Colonel Frier, in
command Of the 25th Infantry,
and commandant of the sub
district, and that officer re-
paired to the scene of the diff
ficulty at once. When he ar
rived there he made examina-
ton of the wounded man, and
found him in about the same
circumstances as described. He
ordered the sentry, Andrews,
sent to another post at once,
and he was relieved by a COM
rade. In the meantime there
had gathered on the bridge

side. many armed, and apparent

The daily morning oasis., 1918-01-01

Yesterday afternoon, about 2
O'Clock there occurred at the in
ternational bridge connecting
Sonoita Avenue in Nogales.
Arizona, with Gale Trece de
Julio, in Nogales, Sonora, one
of those tragedies that happen
in strenuous times like these,
in which Francisco Mercado, a
''celador," in the Mexican Gus
tom house service, was shot by
ian American sentry named
Andrews a private in the 35th
Infantry, on guard at the
bridge. q
The tragic occurrence was one
that is very unfortunate, but
the young soldier was acting in
the line of duty, carrying out
orders, and has been exonoreat-
ed by his superiors.
AS told by eye witnesses, the
story is that the man Mercado
crossed the bridge toward the
American sentry, and raised
the lapel of his coat showing
his badge, expecting to pass
which has been the custom be-
tween the revenue and i'm
migration officials of both coun-
tries in their dealings back and
forth across the line. But in

retire, and they moced back
from the line to the open space
on the Wise property, on Ar
1oyo Boulevard, facing the Post
)ffice. y
AS the troops marched away
the crowd on the bridge jeered.
At that Colonel Frier said to
Consul Delgadc:
"I have not withdrawn my
men because / have any fear
from the crowd, but through a
wholesome fear of what might
happen to that crowd if there
is any diffirulty. Now, then,
if you don't clear that bridge
instaner l will clear it myself. :"
For a while there was ex-
pressed a fear that there might
be reprisal from the other side
of the line, and some thought
that when the New Year was
ushered in with whistles, bells,
horns and firing salstes, there
would be lot of leaden missiles
crossing the line in a northerly
irection; but ne'er a missile.
All the same there was made
by Colonel Frier such a disposi-
ton of troops that had there
been anc difficulty prompt and
efficient means for it's correc-
ton would have resulted.
The occurrence is regretted
greatly by all good people on
both sides of the line; but all
feel that is was inevitable. The
sentry carried out his orders,
and that is the soldiers duty
In doing so he upheld the honor
and dignity of his profession
