And Charges Him Duty.

One of the most remarkable cases

and Mexican authorities Jose Cantu,
peaceful landowner and valley far

Texas, was bodily transferred TO
Mexico by Il recent rise in the Rio

acres of his most productive land and
many head Of live stock.
Under past decisions of the inter-
national boundary commission the
center of the bed of the Rio Grande
is the dividing line between the
United States and Mexico This
shifting of the course OF the erratic
river places Mr.. Cantu and much of
his property on the Mexican side Of
the stream, and, according to tie
Mexican authorities, he Is nov anne

until it has now practically aban-
doned Its old bed and i flowing
