haps fatally wounded; Ricardo ISspi
noza is in jail in Aqua Prieta, and an
elopement has ended disastrously as the
result Of a shooting that occurred at
Cabullona, town just south of Aqua
Prieta, Tuesday morning. Navarro and
Lille Espinoza, sister of Ricardo,
eloped from Aqua Prieta Sunday night
and went to Cabullona. Young Espi-
noza, trailing the couple, met them in

ALIEN CAUGHT
HERE EXPOSES
JUAREZ RING

story of being victimized by alien
smugglers at Juarez and forced to
wade the Rio Grande below Ell Paso
was told in Douglas Tuesday by Juan
Candida, native of Spain, who was
apprehended here Monday by Patrol In
spectors o. A. Olds and Jack Hickox
and is being held by the U. s. immigra
ton authorities. Candida was en- route
from FL Paso to Los Angeles when
taken from an auto stage by the Of
ficers.
Candida told the officers that he came
from Mexico City to Juarez Saturday,
intending to seek admittance into the
United States at Ell Paso. He states
that the proprietor of hotel in Juarez
advised him to avoid the immigration
authorities and agreed to get him
across the border for $40.
Candida states that the alien snug
gler, put him into a car with two men,
who were to take him down the river
and into the United States. Candida
became suspicious of his companions in
the car and without being observed by
them managed to hide all his money ex-
cept SIG in his shoes. When some dis
tance from Juarez the car stopped be-
side the Rio Grande and Candela's two
companions, with leveled revolvers,
held him up and took the $26, which
was all they could find
After the robbery, Candida was or
dered to wade the river, the two men
claiming the chief of the smugglers
had only agreed to show him how to
get into the United States Candida at
first refused to enter the river, but
when told that he would be shot and
his body thrown into the river unless
he did 50, he crossed the river and
made his way into Ell Paso, where he
caught the auto stage that was en-
route to the Pacific coast.
Candida states that while he was
born in spain, he was raised in French
Algiers and is a citizen of the French
republic. Being unable to obtain d
passport to enter the United States, he
came to Mexico City with his wife and
small son in January, thinking that he
might be able to enter the United
States from Mexico Finding that a
citizen of n foreign country must re-
side two years in Mexico before being
admitted to the United States from that
country, he engaged in business in
Mexico CRY
short time ago Candela's business
in Mexico City failed, He determined
to try and enter the United States and
left his wife and son in the Mexican
capital while he came to Juarez. There
he met the alien smuggler, who not
only took $40 for trying to get him
across the torder but also attempted
to have him robbed. Candida is being
held at the city hall while his case is
being investigated

FIVE MEXICANS
KILLED IN AN
AMBUSH ATTACK

RAYMONDVILLE, Texas, Sept. r.
Five Mexicans were killed and sew
eral men are believed to have been
wounded in a battle near here late
today when. band of men attempted
to ambush five peace officers who
We're accompanying four prisoners
implicated in the murder of a deputy
sheriff and deputy constable here
Sunday morning.
The prisoners were caught in the
cross fire between the ambushers and
the peace officers, and all Of them
were killed. None Of the officers was
struck by the fusiilade, but their
return fire is believed to have wound,
ed several. Posses secured the brusn-
land tonight for the fugitive mem
bers of the band.
One of the prisoners, acting or
the advice of his father, Tomas
Munez, today confessed the slayir z
of the officers Sunday and agreed
to take the sheriffs officers to the
spot where their rifles were hidden,
Today he led the officers to the spot
after it was agreed the other pris
oners implicated in the shooting
would accompany them. Five Off
GERS guarded the party, led by the
younger Munoz, to tnicket about
eight miles northwest of Raymond
vile. The prisoners were ordered to
precede the Officers and before they
had advanced 100 yards they were
fired upon from ambush. Two prison.
ers fell with the first shots. The
officers took to cover behind trees
and returned the fire. For several
minutes the firing was heavy.
Working forward slowly, in an
improvised battle fashion, the Off
GERS finally dislodged the Mexicans
from the brush, but the four prison
ers and the elder Munoz were killed
in the cross fire of ths trap into
which the officers believed the pris-
oners mad led them.
There is evidence that there were
at least 25 men in the ambush party.
Blood stains on the bushes indicate
that a number were wounded, but
these apparently were carried away
by their comrades.
Leslie g. Shaw, deputy sheriff,
and Louis Mays, a constable, were
killed from ambush early Sunday
morning after presumably having
| been led into trap. Hearing a shot
!! in the Mexican quarter OF the town,
where a dance was in progress, the
officers went to investigate. Just as
| they reached the locality both were
| shot dead. About 20 MeXicans, ar
rested later in connection with the
shooting, have been held in the
Raymondville jail. Since the shooting
feeling among the citizenry has been
high.

as far as 1t relates to them is false, the other plea
may also be fake and fraud
The truth is that the politics and personal am
bition of Watson have definitely aligned the Repub-
lican organization in this State against the Presi-
dent Ii Coolidge is Republican it is something
else.
The Endorsement of Watson's and Robinson s
stand on farm relief can be nothing else than In.
dictment of Coolidge and Secretary Mellon.
1t will be interesting to if there is still the
audacity to carry out the announcement made some
weeks ago that Secretary Mellon and Secretary
Hoover would be asked to come to Indiana to speak
for Watson.
1t would be Illuminating if the replies
of these stanch adherents of Coolidge are made
public.
Would those in charge of the Watson and Rob-
nson fortunes dare to permit these close friends
the President to speak in Indiana this fall?
There is one distinct advantage from the stu
alton. For the first time in his long career Watson
must stand or fail upon his own record. For the
first time he must fight for his job his own actions
and not cloak his delinquences and deficiencies by
a specious plea to support some national leader.
In this campaign he can not, in any honesty, ask
that he be sent back to support Coolidge. He has
been against Coolidge He is still against Coolidge
He leaves but the open question as to whether
he shall go back an official, clothed with power
to plead for the privileged interests of the Nation or
in the future follow the profession which was his in
the two years he has been out of office in the past
thrty-that of lobbyist.
No longer can he hide behind the shadows of a
President.
Jim is out in the open for the first time-and
probably the last.

AGAINST COOLIDGE

No other Interpretation can be placed upon the
campaign policy outlined by Senator Watson and the
organization which he controls, than that he has
parted company with Coolidge
In one breath Watson declares that benefcent
tariff has brought unprecedented prosperity to the
people That pleases the industrial centers.
But in the next, he declares that there is need
OF immediate legislation to save the farmers from
bankruptcy and that he will fight to force Coolidge
to give 1t to them.
That is expected to please the farmers-if they
do not stop to think that If the claim of prosperity
