A. C. LOCKWOOD.
Judges Superior Court ]. E. HOOD. Sheriff.

Following receipt of the telephone message last night from one of his depaties stationed on the ranch, She-- iii Hood and Deputy Harry Raffer:y left Tombstone At Bisbee they were reinforced by two more deputies and at Douglas several more joined, mak- ing a party of five in addition to ten men already stationed al the ranch.
 Awning al Slaushter's little af l.. midnight they found that earlier in the evening following barking 0, the watchdogs on the ranch. investi- sat:cn had proven that two men had approached the fence from across the Mexican line and had reached pretty close t0 the house when discovered by the dogs Before the guards. who happened to be little distance away from the house, could reach the scene the two men made their escape across the line and all the guards heard was the noise of re:reating horses in the dark.
 II is believed the Mexicans, joiae1 by several more Q short distance away, part of ,he gang. s,aked their horses Q short distance across the line and came up to investigate pre- paratGry 10 making the raid. When the dogs made the discovery their plans were thwarted, the officers be- l:eve.
 The guards immediately began search in tine vicinity oi the ranch but no further evidences were found and when the Sheriff and his force ct men arrived all was quiet and nothing further occurred during the night. . heavy guard being maintained. 4 heavy shower o: rain about o'clock this morning obliterated all evidences of foo: prints, the sheriff stated
 While the civilian guard being maintained at the ranch as well as other ranches nearby, which were in cluded in the warning threat, are con sidered sufficient by the sheriff 10 take care of any mergency. it is i'm possible 10 keep the officers there ali the time when they are being needed constantly in other parts of the coua- ty and the only relief will be the presence of United States troops un- til the situation has been cleared.
 Ii is known that Garcia's uncle and father have sworn vengeance upon the Slaughters and other ranch peo- pie and the officers, following the conviction of young Garcia and Pe- reg, and as they live within a few miles Of the border a strict watch must be maintained. the sheriff said, to prevent possible serious trouble. Mexican soldiers are guarding the other side.
 During the attempt made last night, the sheriff said, John Slaughter, vet eran owner of the ranch, sat in the doorway of his home armed with sl rifle and ready for business, although
