Columbus, July 13.—Heavy patrols of cavalry are alertly watching for the arrival of bandit troops reported to be gathering in the San Simon valley. Army officers here fear that Villistas’ lieutenants are leading the bandits with the main objective to complicate the Mexican-United States relations by attacking border towns. Bobleter Deserted. Camp Bobleter, Fort Snelling, Minn., July 13:—Camp Bobleter looked deserted today. ‘With the First infantry 24 hours 1on its way to the Mexican border and with the Third infantry possibly ac- tually on the Mexican border, the camp that was the canvas covered homes of 3,122 Minnesota boys here, is the shelter only of the Second in- fantry and artillery battalions. As the United Press correspondent entered the camp today he found lit- tle of the military spirit that bri§- tled. To his immediate left, as he stood at the camp entrance, there were a large number of tin: cans and refuse to mark the place where the gallant First lived. Then, to the far left arose the tents of the Second infantry. These, loom- ing up against the forest background of the far end of the camp, seemed desolate. Across what was the regi- mental street, was the deserted camp of the boys of the Third infantry, marked only by cans, refuse and bare ground that once was the site of tents. Just when the Second regiment and the artillery will entrain was a matter of speculation today. Their departure, possibly this ‘week, was ex- pected. Plans are being made to solicit funds for the constructing of a mew grandstand at the county fair grounds. It is planned to construct a stand at a cost of about $2,500. A request will be made for about $1,000 donations. LaSalle, I1l., July 13.—A first call was issued for state troops here today to quell - riots of striking cement works. There have been several bat- tles between strikers and the police. The teachers’ training school will give a picnic at Diamond Point to- morrow afternoon. BY “HO.
