Cry OF MEXICO, Sept. 26.-Thomas
L. Crittenden, American consul. is to
have an interview with the minister of

will be discussed In their various
phases. The policy of Mexico at pres

Is sustained IN this position by the
press and public opinion.

squad of officers who poured deathly
fire into the bandits. Two of them fell,
one MORALLY wounded and the other

rounded but one broke through the
line and escaped in the darkness,
though it is supposed, that he, too, is

YUMA, Sept. 26.-Postmaster Potter
and Bob Roberts were murdered yester-
day at ella City, settlement q snort
distance east OF here on the Southern
Pacific road. Their companions left
them alive and we'll at breakfast. A
boy sent for mail found them dead after
dinner. He gave the alarm and help
came. A dispatch was sent at once to
Yuma for officers.
Roberts was found sitting under the
porch with his skull mashed in. Potter
was found seventy yards away with his
skull crushed, one leg mashed, but his
watch was in his pocket. Both men
had been killed with rocks.
They both were well known, we'll
liked and had no enemies. Suspicion
rests on Papago Indians who had been
prowling around for several days.
Frank Coz was also found dead today
near ella City with pistol by his side
indicating suicide. The coroner's jury
rendered a verdict to that effect. He
was twenty years old and favorite of
every one.
No cause can be given for the double
murder or suicide, as no robbery va
committed. A posse is out ON search
for the murderers. Our people are ex-
cited.
