Mexican Band Crossing Border Put to Flight.

El Paso, Tex., Sept. 27.—A band of fifty armed Mexicans, invading the United States, was’driven back into Mexico near Ysleta, twelve miles southeast of here, late this afternoon by a patrol of eight cavalry. One of the Mexicans dropped a Mauser rifle, used by the constitutionalist army. It was equipped with a sling branded “Troop K, Tenth U. S. Cavalry.” This was Capt. Boyd's troop, which suffered serious losses in the Carrizal fight. The Mexicans, moving in military action, were riding into Ysleta when discovered by the cavalry patrol. They had crossed from Mexico at what is known as Cinccuc ford, three miles northwest of Ysleta. The American patrol numbered only eight mounted men, but, despite the disparity of numbers, immediately advanced at a gallop from a distance 6f nearly three-fourths of a mile. The Mexicans, as soon as they observed the charge, scattered and broke for the Rio Grande. All escaped over the border and disappeared. No shots were fired by either side, the American cavalrymen saving their fire until they could approach close enough to make it count. There was nothing to indicate whether the Mexicans were a Carrancista patrol or bandits, some of whose members had been recruited from the Carranza army after the Carrizal fight.

SHOW RAINPROOF SPIRIT IN TENTH

Republicans, 1,500 Strong, Retain Enthusiasm in AH-Day Downpour at Rally in McCray Woods.

Kentland, Ind., Sept. 27.—1 t takes more than an all-day driving rain to route the enthusiasm of republicans of the tenth congressional district, as they showed today when they gathered more than 1,500 strong at a rally at Warren T. McCray’s Cabin Woods, five miles northeast of Kentland, and listened to three hours of speechmaking by U. S. Senator Warren G. Harding, of Ohio, James E. Watson, Harry S. New, Representative Will R. Wood of the Tenth district, Edward C. Toner, of Anderson, and Mr. McCray. Republicans came from every county in the district and brought their water-proof enthusiasm along. Delegations were present from Gary and Crown Point, in Lake county, and from numerous points in Jasper and Porter counties, while White, Benton, Tippecanoe, Warren and Newton counties' were represented by large parties. Attendance from outside the district gave the air of a state gathering tc the rally. There were representatives from eight of the thirteen districts in the state. Charles G. Sefrit, editor of the Washington Herald, came up from the Second district to lend his presence and earnest advocacy of republican doctrine to what, except fep -the «tm, Avoulti-have been the largest gathering of the year in Newton countyT A party headed by Uz McMurtrie, nominee for treasurer of state, motored from Marion and there were two carloads in charge of E. C. Toner and James M. Lari-more-from Anderson. Indianapolis and the republican state committee were rperesented by Webb Woodfill, Oscar Hadley, Claude Gardner, Lucius 0.-Hamilton, M. E. Noblet, Elam H. Neal and Franklin McCray, nominee for the state senate from Marion eounty, who is a relative of Warren T. McCray. It began to rain before daylight, with every indication of ,a steady downpour for the day, and the large attendance, especially from a distance, in face of the untoward weather, was surprisingly large. Mr. McCray did not give up his arrangements even when the advancing forenoon hours showed no sign of a cessation of rain. His expectations were measurably realized when the noon hours brought a constant train of automobiles across the field that separates the rally ground from the highway.

“Such a gathering under such weather conditions evidences the determination of the American people to rid themselves of the vacillating and incompetent government with which they have been affiliated for the last three years and a half,” said James E. Watson in his speech. The crowd shouted its approval. ~MrT McCray had made arrangements to~ entertaifi a crowd of from 7,000 to 10,000 and there was every indication that, if it had not rained; fully that number would have attended. A large canvas top was erected, with a speakers’ platform mainly decorated with American colors from which were flung the pictures of national and state candidates of the party. Tables had been provided on which to spread basket dinners, but the 1,500 or more persons were driven to the large shelter tent, to a smaller tent or to curtained automobiles to take their meals. The seams of the big canvas top began to leak early and by the time the meeting was called to order at 1 o’clock in the afternoon, the tent supplied little shelter. Umbrellas were hoisted and for a time, in the hardest downpour, the audience stood on the temporary seats to keep out of puddles of water. Once, while Warren McCray was making his introduc--tory remarks,-the tattoo of-ramdrops on the roof became so deafening that he had to desist. Then the band struck up a succession of rousing airs and the crowd cheered. A combined band from Kentland, Brook and Fowler supplied music and the Quartette of Kentland, composed of J. C. Sell, Ray Cummings, Clyde Hurt and the Rev. C. W. Wharton, bade farewell to Woodrow Wilson and the democratic party’s aspirations for a new lease of office, in a series of glees that caught the fancy of the crowd. Mr. McCray spoke briefly and then introduced John Bennett Lyons, of Brook as permanent chairman, but after a short time Mr. Lyons gave way to Representative Will R. Wood. Edward C. Toner, progressive state chairman in 1914, told the ralHers that members of the old progressive party, practically to a man, were back in the republican party and were united behind Charles E. Hughes and the republican congressional and State tickets. * .

“A democratic administration is a good thing once in each long period to convince the people of the incapacity of that party, and to reunite the opposition effectively,” said Mr. Toner.. ‘Mr. Hughes and all the republican nominees are satisfactory to progressives and we are back in the republican fold to stay, if you please. So far as the democratic claim of enacting progressive principles is concerned, wc find on analysis that the party in power has enacted litigation rather" than elgisiatiom The republican nominee for governor of Indiana has produced unanswerable arguments concerning the democratic administration of affairs in this state supplies, in addition all reasons why republcans should be restored .o powder.” t Mr. Toner concluded with a tribute to James E. Watson, declaring that his knowledge and effective leadership would reflect credit on Indiana and that if Indiana wanted to support Charles E. Hughes to the utmost it nrust send two republican senators to Washington to carry out the .policies recommended by Hughes. —— Harry S. New, who had to depart early for a night meeting at Gary, gave a brief greeting to the audience. % “The fact that so many citizens are assembled under such inauspicious weather conditions gives an additional guarantee that republicans an' progressives are united to see that republican candidates are elected this fall,” he said.

Democratic Leader Takes Trip To Llano Grande Camp.

Llano Grande, Tex., Sept. 27. Fred VanNuys, tenderfoot, former state senator, runner-up for the democratic nomination for lieutenantgovernor and HooSier gentleman, landed in camp last night just about the time that coyotes and bobcats were beginning their disquieting music m the brush surrounding the tented city. He spent the night in camp as a guest of Col. L. R. Naftzger of the First Indiana infantry. Mr. VanNuys came here to look after the registration of any democrat voters he can find in camp. It Js said that a representative of the republican party is soon to arrive to obtain the registration of anti-admfn-istration voters. Both the democratic and republican leaders, it seems, just happened to remember that a few thousand Hoosier voters are far from home and they naturally have taken a sudden interest in them now that the campaign is in full swing. There is no assurance that they will get back to Indiana to cast their ballots, but they would be registered just the same, so that they may vote if they do return by the first Tuesday in November. There is no law- to permit Indiana sol fliers to vote in the field. “Gosh! If the democrats find out how the soldiers stand on this Wil-son-Mexican policy, we won’t get home tilh after the election,” commented an Indiana soldier when he heard of the arrival of the democratic politician.
