Sawyer Is Border Officer.
A letter was received a few days

of a broiKho. He writes: "Patrolling
the Mexican border in the slU'nt hours
of the night along the baaks of the
Rio Grande in war tUne is no boy's
job. You never know when you will
be fired on by ammunition smugglers.
But a man has the consolation that a
Mexican is a "very poor shot. At least
the one who fired on me failed to ring
the ball yet I could hear the music of
the bullet" Mr. Sawyer was former-
ly a resident of Chickasha.
