TROUBLES IN MEXICO
MULTIPLY.
United States Army Now
Ready to Mobilize.
Northern Mexico i* on the verge
of revolt from the central govern-
ment.
The state of Chihuahua is
threatening to withdraw from the
union of states and the republic of
Mexico, it is believed, is facing
the most critical point in its later
history.
Chihuahua, the birthplace of the
Madcro revolution, threatens to
be the breeding ground of a sec-
ond, a more widespread and more |
important than any military move-1
ment since Diaz seized the throne
at the head of his indian army.
Emilio V’asquez Gomez, tin* new :
Moses of the Mexican people, is
being mentioned for the presiden-1
r\ of the republic if the republic!
maintains its identity. If not he
will head the revolting republic
which may be formed from the
tier of the northern states with
( hihuahim a.» the capital.
Pasqual Orozco, dominant fig-
j ure of the Madcro revolution, is
being mentioned as a possible
| presidential possibility. His |>opu-
' larity it is claimed would sweep
dero and intimate that in with J
drawing from Juarez with the
garrison of that place to Cnihua- j
hint Orozco is about to begin a
new rebellion Mini declare inde-
pendence of the state of ('hihua
litia.
Army circles are again agitated
and preparations for immediate
action an* renewed.
WHOLE STATE T<* ItEHEL.
Fite whole state of ('hihuahtia
is now reported to he in revolt
against the Madcro government.
The state assembly is expected to!
meet today and it is expected a
declaration of independence* will!
la* issued.
Representatives there of the
national government are said to
he without support and afraid to
appeal to Mexico City for help,
fearing any attempt to send loyal
troops into Chihuahua to enforce
the decrees of the Madero gov-
ernment would precipitate blood-
shed.
As the state of Chihuahua bor-
ders on Texas, its separation from
Mexico would be a matter of deep
concern to tin
()lficials here are watching de-
velopments with great interest.

Washington, D. C., Feb. 6. —A
few hours' developments in
Mexico put the mobile forces of
the I’nited States army *»n
j marching orders and field equip-
ment.
A new ievolution menaces Ma-
Idero's government and with re-
newed disturbances across the
border and the possibility that
the state department might call
on the war department to protect
-gj lives and property of Americans
along the line, tin* plans of the
general staff, prepaied for a min-
ute’s action in just such an event,
were spread out at tin* headquar-
ters today and renewed instruc-
tions to await marching orders
wen* Hashed to army commanders
at points from which troops can
be quickly mobilized.
Frankly admitting the gravity
of the situation officials here are
insistent that nothing more is
contemplated at ibis stage than to
make the border patrol strong
enough for all legitimate pur-
poses
There is no intention to send a
single soldier across the line. It
is pointed out that to do *o would
be equivalent to a declaration of
war, winch would require action
of congress.
It is felt there must be a force
of American troops on the border
to prevent the indiscriminate
crossing the line by either revo-
lutionaries or government forces
should the threatened secession of
the state of Chihuahua result in
hostilities. The neutrality laws
will be enforced to the letter.
OROZCO MAY LEAD REVOLT.
Another uprising in Mexico is
impending, according to official
dispatches received here which
cant grave doubts on the loyalty

TO THE VOTERS OF PECOS
COUNTY:
In making my announcement
for re election to t he office of
fair that he have another term.
Mr. Haltom will make an active
campaign. He is so well known
to the people, among whom lie
has lived for four years, and
whom he has served officially,
that any commendation from the
Pioneer is unnecessary.
Orient Agent Located Here.
Mr. E. (). Rigsbee is the Ori-
ent agent now located here, with
his office in the passenger depot.
Mr. Rigsbee has the ap|iearance
of being a courteous, accommo-
dating gentleman, but he may
not lie able to tell you when the
west hound train will be in, as
there seems to be an unavoidable
delay, caused by the lack of
some ties and rails this side of
Granada.
First Car Loads of Goods
Shipped to Fort Stockton
Over Orient Railway.
Last Monday Jas. Rooney,
president and general manager of
the Rooney Mercantile Co., went
to Granada to sujicrintcnd the
transfer of two car loads of furni-
ture, from the cars to wagons.
Mr. Rooney had thirteen wagons
ready to haul the turniture to
Fort Stockton. These cars were
started out from Kansas City Jan-
uary 26th and arrived in Granada
February 3rd, which shows a
prompt delivery of freight over
thie line. The weight of the
furniture wrs 31,000 pounds.

ty only one more term, and to
this end respectfully ask for your
vote and influence. If re-elected
I will continue to give every per-
son a “squre deal” as 1 have done
in the past. No one can consci-
entiously fulfill the office of prose-
cuting attorney without making
some enemies; hut the fear of not
being re-elected will not cause me
to swerve from wlmt l consider
my path of duty.
Respectfully,
