Late in 1925 Tranquilino
Castro, arrested as a snug
gler near Calexico Friday
night, first came to the atten-
tion of immigration officers.
He was deported to Mexico that
year after he was paroled from San
Quentin penitentiary where he had
been committed for highway rob-
berry. In 1927 he was arrested near
Mexicali with two Mexican men
and a load of liquor they were
bringing into the United States.
He was found guilty of smuggling
liquor into the United States and
served three months in the Los
Angeles county jail He then was
deported to Mexico again.
Federal records then contain a
notation of his arrest. by Brawley
police on a charge that he was
carrying a concealed weapon. He
told the arresting officers he was
looking for a man who "got away
with 100, gallons of liquor" He
was prosecuted for reentering the
United States after being deported
therefrom. This time he served a
year in the Los Angeles county jail
and was deported in 1881. At this
point, officers said, he entered the
alien. smuggling game.
He is credited with being the pow
er behind the illegal entry of sever
men, a woman, and two children
abandoned on the North Shore roat
Oct. IA, 1886. A man known to hav

PRIVATE FEUD
BRINGS ARREST
OF FUGITIVE
Castro Surprised After
Battling Friends on
Lonely Desert

Tranquilino Castro, 38, re-
puted king of alien smug-
glers operating from the Col
orado river to the Pacific,
was arrested by immigration
border patrolmen near Calexico Fri
day night.
The border badman Is charged
with smuggling innumerable aliens
of all races into the United States
from Mexico during the last seven
years. He was placed in the Impe-
rial county jail as a federal prison.
er and will be prosecuted on scores
of smuggling indictments filed
against him.
He was thorn in the side Of
immigration officials and border
patrolmen throughout southern CAL
ifornia because they declared he
engineered dozens of smuggling
deals involving illegal entry into
this country.
Head Wounds
Castro, bleeding from head wounds
was arrested quarter of a mile
from the Mexican boundary near
Calexico. Two immigration border
patrolmen on duty early Friday
night were attracted to the scene
by pistol shots and sounds of a
struggle. When they approached q
dry canal, they saw three men en-
gagged in battle. Two of the fig
ures were pounding a man face
down in the dust.
Two of the men fled into Mexico
at the approach of the officers.
Chief Herbert Gerrish of the i'm
migration border patrol said. The
man they left behind was Castro.
He had been severely beaten and
was bleeding from several head
wounds.
Castro said he knew his assail-
ants but refused to reveal their
names, the reason for the fight, or
why he happened to be on United
States soil. He insisted he would
take care of them himself" as 1t
was a private deal.
The prisoner speaks English flu
emily but talked very little after
his arrest.
Castro is of The Yaqui Indian type.
He is five feet, six and a half
inches in height and weighs 1872
pounds.
Played Safe
1t was possible for him to avoid
capture, Gerrish said, because he
played safe. He remained in Mexi-
co where he arranged to smuggle
Chinese, Japanese, Hindus, and
Mexicans into the United States.
He engineered the whole transac-
ton, collected the money in Mexi-
co but did not escort the smuggling
parties across the border, Gerrish
explained
Many men caught with smuggled
aliens during the last seven years
told officers Castro turned the car
go over to them at the border and
left them to thesr own devices
thereafter.
Castro is yet to be arraigned be-
fore federal officers.
