tody. Capt Mckay, commanding Fort
Mcintosh, sent a courier to Lieut.. Hediken. who

soldiers killed at San Ygnacio by bandits from
this side.

The Mexican government will demand OF Pres-
dent Harrison that he take decisive
steps toward the breaking UP and wip-
ing out OF the bands of revolutionists that
have a rendezvous on United States soil in the
lower Rio Grande border country. Its believed
that serious international trouble will grow
out of the San Yancio outrage II the
United States government does not snow
their dIEapproyaI OF the revolutionists by
putting large body OF troops in the field after
the perpetrators and sympathizers. The Next
can government is strengthening its already
strong forces OF soldiers on the border by rush
ing about 5000 troops on the turbulent section
from interior garrisons.

the field in the lower part of this county, to go
at once to SanYgnacio and investigate the report

prisoners, and il there to liberate them at once
A Spanish paper claims that Saturdays
fight was not revolutionary; that the
Mexican soldiers came to San Ygnacio
TO a dance and that row resulted; that subse-
quentiy the ranchers crossed the river, had q
fight, captured the Mexicans and brought them
back, and that they are being held to answer for
disturbing the peace.

Federal troops from Mcintosh, with a large
posse OF United States deputy marstals, are in

fight when the forces come together. Two
thousand Mexican troops are being rushed to
the frontier to prevent further invasion.

1.-THE crime of which All Young had been con-
one. On October II, while Fernando Quijado,
aged IA years, was in the Chinese quarters in
Los Angeles selling watercress, he was enticed
into a tumble-down opium joint on the corner
OF Benjamin and Apalabasa streets. What fol.
lowed no one save the Chinese murderer knew,
and the crime would have remained undiscov-
cred had it not been for the wife OF Nun Sing,
who lives almost back OF the house in which
the deed was committed. Mrs. Sing has charge
OF the Presbyterian mission school and speaks
good English At about $50 o'clock on that
of voice cry out in Chinese: "Save my
life!' She then heard number OF heavy
in smothered tones: "save my life"

had climbed upon fence so that she could look
in the back yard Of the place whence the sound

easterly direction, and she claims 10 have called
to him, asking him II he had been robbed. Sew
eral parties soon put In an appearance. and the
woman informed them OF what she had seen and
heard. Officers were soon on the scene, and be-
ing convinced that some crime had been COM
mitted, proceeded to investigate. number of
Chinese Joined in the search, and after two
hours hunt the body OF the little boy was found
in an old cesspool in the back yard 1t
was a horrible and sickeniug sight. 1t had
been poked down into the contents of the closet
by the person or persons who had committed
the decd and several boards had to be removed
before the body could be gotten ont All Young
was found after a long search, hidden III hay
stack, and arrested. He refused to talk OF the
crime. At the postmortem examination the
fact was established that death was by strangu-
lation and that the boy had been assaulted. Fer
nando had been in the habit for some time of
selling watercresses, occasionally going down
into Chinatown. About two weeks before the
murder a companion named Louis Deas accom-
panied him on his rounds into Chinatown,
when they were sccosted by Chinese, who
