KI[HN&[]F llR[lZlIfl Texas Ranchers Under Arms for < Rny Eventuality Sierra Blanca, Tex., Sept. 1.—Men of the Big Bend Country in the vicinity «f the boundary line of El Paso and Culberson countries were under arms day for fear of reprisals by Genereal ascual Orozco's organization of “Col- orados” the noted Mexican leader by United States soldiers and Texas ranchers on Menday. . Appeal was made for more mili- tary prétection. It was believed that the followers of Eduardo Salinas, now at Bosque Bonito, were connected with .Orozco’s plans, and might attempt to “avenge his death. ’ Planned Invasion Of Texas. From the reports American authori- ties formed -the the theory that Orozco was trying to bring to a focus an or- ganized invasion of Texas upon a large gcale, under the name of The Nation- alist Party. Into this party were to he drawn malcontents of all fractions. < his party eventually was to align wvith Carranza in the event of Car- ranza’s refusal to accept the A. B. C. plan for.a peace conference of Mex- jean leaders, according to reports. The 24 hour man-hunt which ended in the death of Orozco in the Green River canyon, between the Eagle and the Lonesome Mountains’ Monday was through the wildest part of the Big Bend country. Twenty-four ranch owners, cowboys, custom house of- cials and troopers of the Thirteenth avalry participated. Ranchers Prepare Themselves, The news that raiders were in the yicinity spread over rural telephone wires Sunday noon. At the warning every ranch house became a scene of activity with preparations to ride to the ranch attacked. The raiders were first discovered as they approached the Love Ranch Sunday afternoon by Deputy Sheriffs R. O. Love and Wm. Shock. Orozco and his companions mounted hastily, sent shower of shots at Love and Shock, and made a running fight for ifberty. Love Sends Out Alarm. "1 Love sent out an alarm and then took up the chase with Shock. . A posse of ten men organized quick- 1y here, rode to the Love Ranch and picked up the trail. Ag each ranck house was passed ad- ditions were made to the posse. The trail ran through the Eagle Mouatains, over perilous paths on vhigh ridges. A When dawn broke the posse found it still held the trail which now led across a plain to Green River €Canyon, in the Lonesome Mountains. Encamped in Box Canyon. . . At the bntrance to'the canyon the posse found a. camp. fire glowing and an advance guard was thrown out to search for the Mexicans. By 3 o’clock he guard returned with news that the Mexicans were encamped in a box canyon, apparently feeling secure from pursuit. Their horses were unsaddled and hobbled at some distance from the camp fire. The posse advanced stealthily, dis- mounted and climbed the rugged sides of the mountain until they gained a widge around the canyon. From this point a volley was poured down on the Mexicans. At the first volley one Mexican was killed. The rest dashed for' the protection of boulders and returned the fire. The posse killed one of the remaining four at the next volley. Gen. Orozco and a com- panion then attempted to gain the shelter of a small draw. Orozo’s com- *wranion was riddled with bullets as he stepped from the shelter of his rock. Orozco fell dead, struck by four bul- lets. v Surviving Mexican Shot. The surviving Mexican of the band returned shot for shot from behind a boulder. Presently he made a dash to climb the sides of the canyon. He had ascended some distance when a ¥ volley tumbled him dead to the rock hasin below. SERBIA WILL GRANT BULGARIAN DEMANDS (Continued from First Page.) Bulgaria the e¥ect on her sister coun- try would be immediate.” Russians Victorious. Petrograd, Aug. 31, via London Sept- 1, 3:45 a. m.—Successful Rus- _sian counter-attacks on a wide front in the Stripa river district, eastern Galicia, are reported in a Russian of- ficial statement given out here to- night. The Russians claim to have captured 3,000 prisoners, thirty can- non and thirty-four machine guns. Pflanzer’s Army Routed. ¥ Petrograd, Sept. 1, via London, 3:55 P m.—The Russian success in Galicia, reported in yesterday’'s of- ficial statement, was obtained against the army of Gen. Pflanzer, which is estimated to comprise five Austrian and German army corps. Riga Almost TIsolated. London, Sept. 1, 11:45 a. m.—Ger- gany’s plan for driving three wedges into the Russian defensive lines is being carried forward, but not with the same speed as marked the sweep over Poland. Riga is almost iso- ‘lated, and unless the Russians soon throw heavy forces against Von Hindenburg’s exposed flank this port must fall into the hands of the in- vaders. Although this northerly at- tack seems to have been checked for the moment, the Russians have been unable to develop a counter offen- sive in that region comparable with b~ activities In East Galicia, where, as a result of the killing of | er Stripa, they have not ohly turned at bay but have inflictéd large losses on their opponents. For a period of five or six days on the western front' a rain of shells from French guns has been poured on the German trenches. The object of thus unusual artillery attack has not been disclosed, but it is not be- lieved here that so much precious ammunition would be used merely to damage the German works without some sort of concerted effort to oc- cupy the shattered trenches. Balkan Problem To Fore. The Balkan problem is again to the fore. Emphasis is placed on re- ports that Rumania and Bulgaria are seeking to arrive at an understand- ing with the entente powers, with some hopes of success. French Official Report. Paris, Sept. 1, 2:40 p. m.—The F¥French war office this afternoon gave out ‘a statement on -the progress of hostilities, reading as follows: “Several artillery actions were re- ported in the course of the night around Neuville St. Vaast, in the region of Roye and in that of Cuberive on the Suippes. Fighting in Argonne. “In the Argonne there was violent cannonading yesterday to hte north of Fontaine Houyette and on the Che- vauchee Heights. During the night it was calm. “In the Vosges, after a bombard- ment with asphyxiating gas bombs, the enemy last .evening launched against our trenches at Linge and Schratzmannele a violent attack. We maintained our positions. At mid- night a new German attack was re- pulsed.” . Fighting in Kameruns. Paris, Sept. 1, 3:46.p. m.—Fighting centinues in the Kameruns, the Ger- man colony in Western Africa which the British and French have been at- tempting since the early part of ° the war to wrest from the Germans.
