Rancher Had Been Ordered Not to Take

IJOS Angeles, Deo. IS.—Among the !
visitors to Los Angeles recently was j
B. A. Packard, among the last of the

the initial development of the late Col.
Greene's famous copper mines of'
Cananea.
A short time ago he received notice ,
from Gen. Gil, who has his forces at
Xaco, advising him not to move any of
his cattle, because the soldiers needed
all of them. Thereupon, he tol.l his men j
to round up as many cattle as possible [
in a pasture about live miles square.
This being done, he took thirty-five j
men from Douglas, among them several;
Arizona tangers, and carried tfliein in
a big automobile truck to his ranch with
saddles and bridles.
Horses in plenty wero already there.
That night he tolil the boys that next i
day they were going to ilo a hard day's I
work and be well paid for it and he i
wanted them to ride as they never had ;
in their lives. Ride they did, and at !
11.30 the next morning they crossed the !
line into fhe United States with 6,000
cattle, and not a Mexican or American ;
soldier in sight.
