6ATTLEMAN ID FIGHT
 LIQUOR CHARGE
Fl .Paso, Texas. Oct. 1s..

Fl Paso, Texas, Oct 16.-
 The story of an adventurous quest of violators of the federal prohibition laws along the road toward Deming beyond the Borderland inn that filled 50 pages of typewriter record was told yesterday by dry enforcement agents during the preliminary hearing before United States Commissioner A. J. w. Schmid of Manuel Munguia, well-to-do Fl Pasoan, and A. E. Moore, wealthy cattleman of Tyrone, who are charged with conspiracy to transport 16 cases or 192 quarts of Canadian club whisky.
 Case Is Continued
 After considerable time devoted to the hearing yesterday afternoon Com missioner Schmid continued the case until Tuesday afternoon at o'clock, when further evidence may be pre- sented. The principal reason, how ever, for the continuance was to give Commissioner Schmid time to read the 15O pages of typewriter testi- mony, which will be transcribed as quickly as possible by the court stenographer In the meantime Nun guia is at liberty under S1.500 bond
 
 Found Liquor Claim
 The prohibition agents told of driv- ing out along the Deming road late at night and meeting the defendants They say that he car Of one of them ! was pulled up off the side of the road They say that the car of one of them | liquor ons.t the ground some little dist ance from this car. Some distance away they claim they found the other | defendant.
 i Mystery Automobile i The prohibition agents tell about a mysterious seven-passenger auto,n j. i bile that passed to and fro along the | Deming road while they were short i distance away on side road. They say that this mystery car threw ], beams of light skyward from search light as if for signal. This myst cry car was very speedy and succeed ed in eluding the prohibition agents
 The officers also tell of seeing dur ing the same night car filled witl Mexicans armed with Winchesters.
 Not Guilty is Plea. Moore and Munguia both pleaded not guilty and their attorneys pointe' out in argument before Commissione Schmid that there is no evidence tha either one of them had in his posses sion the liquor found on the ground b the officers and seized. The defense also contends that there is nothinI but circumstantial prooe that Mungui and Moore had conspired to transpor the liquor seized or any other. liquor : It was urged that the defendant car which had stopped near the liquo was in mead of repairs or had stalle in the sand and that the presence c the liquor in the vicinity was coin cidence. The testimony that tn lid on the roadster's was proppe open, the defense contended was du 5 to a search for tools to be used bt cause the car had stalled.

CO MISSIONER $ SUN DENIES HE

Moeur Takes Oath as to The Falsity of Gov. campbeIl's Flagstaff
 Statement

Phoenix, Oct 7.-J. M. Moeur, pro- minent Phoenix attorney and son of State Land Commissioner W. A. Moeur, has called Governor Campbell to account for a slanderous insinua- tion, alleged to have been made in his speech at Flagstaff Tuesday night.
 Governor Campbell had been asked why he did not veto the land bill and he declared that the bill itself was all right, but that the law was being evaded, in that it was necessary for lawyers to be employed by cattlemen in order to procure leases. He then turned to his audience, which com prised the leading cattle men of North ern Arizona, and said: You know the man at Flagstaff who paid the son of the state land commissioner S3,000 before he could secure the lease he wanted
 On receiving information regarding the governors speech at Flagstaff, J. H Mouer immediately issued a cha1- lenge through legal service demand ing that Governor Campbell within 24 hours furnish the name of the man whom he said paid Moeur~ S3.000 for securing land lease. Moeur takes oath as to the absolute falsity of the governors statement, and concludes his challenge with the statement that in the event the governor fails to fur nish him the information as. to where he got the authority to issue such z declaration, Moeur vii brand him over | the state as liar and character as sassin.
