MAYORS route from Chihuahua was by
way of Tomochic, the town which was
entirely depopulated in an attack
made upon the inha bitants over year
ago by Mexican troops, who massacred
the men, women and children.
Mr.. Naylor stated that in the noun
tains west of the fated town he came
upon band of about two hundred
Tomochic braves who had an almost
impenetrable rendezvous upon which
all attacks of Mexican soldiers had
proved futile. Upon observing that
Mr. Naylor was an American bent
upon peaceful mission, he was well
received. He spent two weeks with
the Tomochics and then entered the
Yaqui country. It was there that he
met with difficulties. He was captured
by band of Yaquis and held prisoner
for several days pending a decision
of the chief as to what disposition
should be made of him. After several
solemn councils by the chief with the
other prominent members of the tribe,
Mr.. Naylor was placed upon horse
and with two wounded Indians as
guards was started across the coun-
try toward the west. He passed
through number Of villages, and was
never permitted to tarry longer than
one night at a single place.
At the western confines of the Yaqui
country his guards left him and he
made his way with great difficulty
across the mountains to Hermosillo.
Mr.. Naylor tells some marvellous stories
of the mineral richness of the Yaqui
country and states that the number of
the members of the Yaqui tribe has
been greatly underestimate. He
claims to have seen fully three thou
sand armed braves. Some of the In
dian towns contain. handsome chapels
and buildings, all of Aztec architec-
ture. Mr.. Naylor is the first white
man that is known to have crossed the
Yaqui country. There have been nu-
merous attempts made, but the va
quis always interfered. This is the
only tribe IN Mexico which has never
been conquered.

EMBARRASSING AFFAIR.
MR.. JOHNSONPROCURE Els EVIDENCE
FOR HIS DIVORCE SUIT.
He and ITS Friends Say They DIsoov-
cred His Wife at the jackson
Hotel in Company with an
Admitting Friend.

Herman NJ. Johnson, formerly of Red
lands, but of recent months OF this city,
had what was to him the satisfaction
asst night OF obtaining what appeared
to be indisputable proof of his wi!e's
forgetting the VOWS OF the wedding GER
emony.
Last June Mr.. johnson brought suit
for divorce, alleging that Mrs. John
son had yielded to the amorous intlu-
ences of Mr.. James Corbett of San
Francisco, (not the pugilist) but evl-
IDENTIFY thought that he needed more
evidence. Accordingly he employed @,
Nj. Baldwin, manager OF the Southern
California detective agency to assist him.
Mrs. johnson, it was suspected, had be-
come enamored OF Mr.. j. +. Milligan,
who is said to live at the
Dalles in Oregon, where he is
alleged to have a family.
Last night Detective Baldwin thought
was proper time to bring about the
denouement of the domestic drama IN
which he was acting with great activity
as stage manager, and he, with Mr..
johnson and number OF witnesses, sta
toned themselves in an adjoining room

revenge his wrongs by Staying the
betrayer of his domestic honor, but to
procure evidence for the divorce suit.
This being done to his satisfaction he
came quietly away and went TO the
newspaper Officer to give publicity to
his discovery and his success.
1t is expected that the divorce will
now be granted, but why should Mrs.
Johnson have opposed the suit?

OF that functionary are in the habit OF
inveighing against Senators Hill and
Murphy because those officials have
opposed both of these nominations, and
they are accused OF allowing their per-
sonsl feelings to influence their vote and
action in the premises. These critics
overlook the fact that Mr.. Cleveland
was at great pains to select his nominees
for that position in oroer to run his
stiletto into the Messrs. Hill
and Murphy, and to emphasize
his hostility to the regular Democratic
organization of the Empire state. Cali

that both of these gentlemen were in
favor of reversing the decision of the

both of them are understood to be cor

THE ROSCOE TRAIN ROBBERY.

The men who ditched and robbed the
train at Roscoe station early yesterday
morning. evidently went on the principle
that as lightning never strikes twice in
the same place, that would be the very
safest place ON the road to repeat the
affair of few weeks ago. II the parties
who perpetrated the first robbery are
the same as those who did yesterday
mornings business, they greatly i'm
proved this last time on their diabolicsl
methods. Instead of bringing the train
to stand on the track, they opened the
switch and let it run into the ditch, not
withstanding that by SO doing they
might have compassed the killing of all
On board. As it was, only the engine
and tender were wrecked, and only two
lives were sacrificed.
This thing of holding up trains by
robbers is becoming crime of such fire.
quent occurrence, and is go perilous to
life, that the state ga well as the compa-
MES will have to reeort to drastic meas-
nres in order to put an end to it. Until
the express companies adopted the plan
Of placing fearless guard on the stages
running from the mining districts, the
number of hold-ups and successful rob-
berries of the treasure carried were very
frequent. After that this kind OF crime
was greatly diminished. The highway
men found that the only way to accom-
plish their design was to deliberately
shoot the guard from ambush. and az
thia undoubtedly increased the risk OF
the robbers, and made their job far more
hazardous than before, there was at
once a very noticeable diminution in
the number of these affairs.
The express company and the railroad
corporation ought to provide a safe-
guard to their trains something like that
which has been found to work we'll on
stages. An armed guard of two or more
determined men should be placed in the
front part OF every passenger and treas
ure train. Had there been two we'll
armed men OF nerve ON the train that
was held up at Roscoe. they could have
made it very hos for the robbers. Men
who made it their business to fight train
robbers would be prepared for them,
and would use all the fnesse OF expert
ence to not only defeat them in their
designs, but to give them such recep.
ton that they would reflect deeply be-
fore they made another attempt. In
the end the companies would find it
cheaper to send out guard on each
train than to incur the losses they now
sustain by the successful robberies they
are periodically subjected to.
The deplorable thing about this rob-
berry is the loss of the life of faithful
servant of the road. Indeed, murder
is usual accompaniment of this kind
of crime; but in this case the wretches
had planned for wholesale murder,
which would have happened if the en-
tire train had been ditched. This agra
walton of the deed should spur the
police authorities and the express COM
pany and the railroad directors to
relentless pursuit of the robbers,
Neither money nor the right kind of
men should be lacking in order to run
these bandits down and bring them to
condign punishment.
