"outh Bend has been at a standstill for years. Many things have gone topether that have pulled the city down.

Two Iowa sheriffs are hero to take Mrs. Kuth McCullough, n Fnako charmer, and Clarence McCormick, a song and dance 'mant back to lledrick, la., for trial on a confession that they murdered I. W. Moolat, a farmer of Ollie, Mo., and robbed his body. iMcCormick, for whom the Jowa authorities have been searching since the murder on Oct. 4, insists he killed Moolat after Mrs. McCullough lured the farmer to take an auto ride at night with her. Siieriff J. G. Grimer of Keokuk county, and Sheriff W. K. Knox of Wapello county stated today they believed the woman committed the murder and McCormick is trying to shield her.

Government officials admitted today that the .situation on the border is the gravest that the United States has faced since the occupation of Vera Cruz. Gov. Hunt telegraphed Sec'y Garrison that he intended to .end all available Arizona militia to Naco for tho protection of the citizens of the state. Sec'y Garrison replied that the United States troops already in Naco wero doin everything possible to prevent injury to life and property on this side of the border, short of dclarln? war on Mexico, and that the presence of the state troops would only complicate matters. GARKISOX ASKS DELAY, Gov. Hunt, in informing the war department that he intended to send declaration tnat "Arizona citizens must bo protected." Sec'y Garrison's message to Gov. Hunt read: "The arrival of militia mipht precipitate an 111 considered move which would brinff about arnir-d conflict with consequences which no one could force." Ho added that the president heartily concurred in this view. A later dispatch from Gov. Hunt stated that the situation at Douvrlns, Ariz., was critical and that a soldier and a child on the American side of the line had been struck by bullets from the Mexican parrison at Auga Prieta.
