Show OFFICERS CAPTURED Gl AMERICAN SOIL Investigation of Border Af-j fair' Shows Mexicans to Be Aggressors. DOUGLAS, Ariz., Jan. 5. The two ! American army officers, Ctptain David H. I Blakelock and Lieutenant George J. Llnd, whose seizure . Friday afternoon resulted re-sulted in a fight between United States cavalrymen and Mexican customs guards, in which two of the latter were killed, 1 one wounded and three taken prisoner, ! 1 were captured on American soil, according accord-ing to an announcement today by Colonel George H. Morgan. Arizona district commander, com-mander, who ordered an investigation immediately after hearing of the affair. "The incident is closed so far as I am concerned," Colonel Morgan said. "It developed today that there had been frequent fre-quent sniping: by Mexican patrols at our men in the vicinity of the place where the fighting took place, but I did not know of this until today. I think the precrpitate action of the. soldiers in crossing cross-ing the line to rescue their officers, who had been seized on .United States soil, partly was due to the enmity the Mexicans Mex-icans have shown toward them. It is a regrettable affair and there is no prospect pros-pect of a repetition or any further local difficulty." According to the report of Captain Blakelock, the cavalry troop .had left Douglas Friday for a practice march, most of the members being recruits, and at noon had camped eighteen miles east of here. Several hunting parties were formed, among them being one composed of Captain Blakelock and Lieutenant Lind. When the officers were within approximately ap-proximately 200 yards of the international internation-al line they suddenly were confronted by ; four armed Mexicans, commanded to halt ; and informed that they were prisoners. At the same time four more Mexican customs officers opened fire upon a party of three private soldiers who were rabbit hunting farther away from the line and about 300 yards from the officers. Two of the soldiers dropped to -earth and returned re-turned the fire, holding their ground while the third ran to camp for reinforcements, reinforce-ments, who crossed the line to rescue the two officers. |
