xtra! Another
Border Crisis ,

Another raid across the bor-

announced here yesterday.
Strange to say the announce
mcnt was not made by the
Department of State, but by
the Department of Agricul-
ture. The bandits, like their
human counterparts, happened
g, to be wolves from the noun
tains OF Northern chihuahua
in Mexico. Government hun
tiers are now searching for the
wolves who in the last three
months have killed hundreds
OF sheep and cattle in both
Texas and New Mexico. The
Biological Survey OF the de-
partment has reported a pack
OF about thirty American
wolves in the mountain ranges
OF New Mexico and these
have lately been amplihed by a
number OF Mexican beasts. In
the last year the wild animals
have done about 5000 dam

he ever was or ever will be.
Sheriff Galloway thinks Singleton,
who has a number of other names,
never was big enough to steal $178,-
600 in liberty bonds, but is an ordi-
nary confidence man; not a very
skillful one at that.
In case people wonder why a man
who stole $17S,O0O worth of liberty
bonds less than two months ago is
now trying to beat couple of small
town banks out of 5000, it must be
remembered that liberty bonds are
about the most difficult property in
the world for a thief to dispose of.
They are all numbered and lettered
ard Uncle Sam makes it his special
business to know who has them. If
even a little one is missing, every
bank in the country will have its
number in a week, and only an un-
cautious person will try to dispose OF
them to somebody he doesn't know.
