FATE OF a SURVEYING PARTY
MassaCred by ApaChss in Chi
huahua, Mexico.
TIE Tale Told by the Only Sur
ViVOF.

SAN Francisco, August Am
Srose Lamprax, of Natchitoches, La,
has arrived in this city from Mexico.
He was with party of surveyors that
we're attacked by Apaches south of
El PasO, in the State of chihuahua,
and thirteen killed. Lamprax says
he joined the party the day before the
attack. The night before the mas
sacre he lost horse and hired boy,
and thought he saw Indian signs.
The next day the party started on,
and he fingered half mile behind.
When the party reached the sand hills
fighting began. Lamprax says the party
were well-armed, brave men and had
no leader and did not know how to
fight Indians. He tried to join the
party, but was taken prisoner by the
Indians and would have been killed,
but his lost Mexican boy appeared
and told the Indians he was wealthy
and could be ransomed. He was se-
cured and could not see the fight.
The surveyors fought desperately
against the Indians, who numbered
45 or 46, Of whom six were killed and
nine wounded. All the whites were
killed, six of them being dispatched
while lying on the field wounded.
Lamprax says the Indians were under
rigid discipline. After the bat
tie the Indians took Lam
prax into the Sierra Madra mountains,
where they buried theiri dead. For
more than a week the indiana dis
persed under Euras in Sonora, COM
mitting d number of murders. They
went down to the coast of the Gulf OF
California and crossing to an island,
Lamprax made his escape and got
safely to Guymas, after severe five
days tramp. Lamprax says the In.
dians were under the command Of
Victoria, as he knew the chief very
well by sight. Lamprax is on his way
to Washington to lay the subject OIL
the massacre before the governments

a decent respectable citizen IN the
whole lot. This sort of brow beating
may please the bondholders and all
their agents in whatever position,
but it docs not take with
the masses. IF the people
can easily stand the present rate Of
taxation for generations to come,
they can surely stand it one year and
in that time learn just how it feels.
But if they cannot and the high-tax-
ers own up to the fact, let the bosses
instruct the Governor to convene the
Legislature as speedily as pos
sible and have the 1908
Act repealed. Do that and
then offer settlement at 5O.3, and
the Low Tax Democrats will consid-
er the proposition. This paper, for
one, would advocate the proposition.
Let the new born regard for the dear
people take some shape like this, aud
it will be under less suspicion.
