U. S. OFFICERS
TAKE KILLER OF
MEXICAN GUARD
Subject Of Turkey Now Held
at Rio Crande City Await
ing Deportation Warrant.
Will be Deported

Jacobo Hasbun. a Syrian or Turkish
national is being held by the federal
officers at RIO Grande City upon the
charge Of having killed Carlos Hinojosa.
Mexican customs guard near San
Miguel Sunday night Application has
been sent to Washington for a deporta-
iion warrant ana the Syrian will be
turned over to the Mexican authorities
soon as IL arrives.
Carlos Hinjosa, customs guard. with
headquarters at Carmargo. caught Has
bun and a Mexican named Natividad
Gonzalez attempting TO smuggie ten
cases Of tequila across the river near
Gruila. between Mission and Rio Grande
City Sunday evening. As the Mexican
river guards on that section of the bor-
der have been cooperating with the
United States officials in an effort TO
prevent smuggling. Hinojosa took the
two men into custody and confisca;ed
the liquor. He started to take them
To San Miguel with the intention of turn
ing them over to the authorities at that
point, but when about a mile from the
town. the Syrian succeeding in getting
the customs man off his guard and
stabbed him nine times with large
pocket knife, inflicting wounds which
will doubtless prove fatal. The smugglers
then made their escape to the Ameri-
can side of the river.
llinojosa was found in the road n
few minutes after the stabbing and
was able TO tell who had committed the
CRIME and stated they had crossed the
river. At 8 o'clock Monday afternoon
Mexican officials Informed the immigra-
tion officials at Rio Grande City Of
the affair, and Customs Officer ID. A..
Barton and mounted immigration Of
fiorrs NJ. c. Smith. Roy harrell and
Jesse Perry, Jr., started for the Grulla
ranch where the two men were thought
10 be located. On way they met r. Ill.

Of the justice and Harold Jefferds, u. s.
marshal. from Brownsville. and the
parry proceeded to the Grulla ranch.
where their men were located. Gonzalez
at the home cf his father and Hasbun at
the home of Gonzalez brother.
When taken before the federal author
tiles at Rio Grande City. the Syrian
assumed the full responsibility and as
there was no evidence 10 hold Gonzalez
on smuggling charge the latter was
released.
Mexican officials in the Camargo dis
trct have highly commended the CELEBRITY
with which the American officers Sc
cured the men. and as soon as the de-
poriation warrant is received from
Washington Hasbun will be turned over
10 the Mexican authorities. Hasbun has
been a res dent Of Mexico for eighteen
years, operating "a small store on the
Mexican side Of the river opposite the
Grulla ranch. and authorities on both
sides OF the river have been under the
impression for some time that he was
extensively engaged in liquor smuggling.
Mexican officials in the Camargo dis
trict have been cooperating very eff
fectivcly with American offic ais in the
attempt 10 suppress liquor smuggling,
and il is the general impression that
the Syrian has been one of the leaders
OF the con,rabaHdistoS operating in that
section.
