Rebels Jail An American.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 26, 1913:
Hunt's Offense Was Buying Cattle from a Huerta Partisan.
    DOUGLAS, Ariz., Aug. 25.— Stuart Hunt, an American ranch owner and cattleman of Sonora, with two of his cowboys, was arrested to-day at Fronteras charged with being an enemy of the Sonora State Government. They were imprisoned by order of José Maytorena, the insurgent Governor.
    Hunt was arrested because of a cattle deal. He is charged with having bought from a wealthy Mexican Federal sympathizer cattle that had been sold to the State Government. The American's offense consisted in not dealing with the State Government directly. American cattlemen on both sides of the frontier have taken up the question with Constitutionalist leaders in an effort to effect Hunt's release.
