TIE HATg#ET BURIED. No More Cruel Yaqui War
 in Sonora.
They Meet the Mexicans Sign
 For Peace.
Final Settlement of the Yaqui Indian Troubles Across the
 Border in Mexico.

The Yaqui treaty has been signed. Now those people will go to work in- stead of spending their spare time fighting.
 About four hundred Of the tribe all armed headed by Tetabiate, their chief, met at Ortiz Sunday with General Torres, Gov. Corral and other repre- sentatives of the Mexican government after marching in thirty-fve miles and heard the treaty read.
 The Indians were met out five miles from the station by Col Peinado and his command who escorted their former foes into show goodwill etc. Before they arrived drunken Mex ican firing his pistol over their heads came near breaking up peace negotia- tions as the suspicious Yaquis made ready to fight for they imagined this was a signal to begin their slaughter. Col Peinado promptly rode over the fellow and ordered him under arrest and soon they were moving again. The Yaqui, as they marched in with three or four belts of cartridges around them presented a fine appearance and i their movements were more graceful and sold;erlilse than those of the nat ional soldiers. Nearly every Yaqui was armed with guns that had been captured from the Mexican soldiers at l one time or another.
 The treaty was read by Secretary of State Caledonia Ortiz, and agreed to : by the Indians.
 Extensive preparations had been made to properly receive the surren- dering Indians. A large pavilion had been erected i'll which was conducted the formal ceremony. Other pavilions lad been erected on the outskirts of the town when the Yaquis later went to cook their meals of flour, sugar, beaus and other large quantities of provisions which were issuel to them. When everything was in readiness, the three Mexicans commissioners ap- pointed to sign the treaty and the three Yaqui commissioners, Chief Te tabiate, his secretary, Juan Espinoza, and Tosto Villas his sub-chief, moanted the stand aAd after hearing the docu- ment read signed it, with a number of prominent Mexican and American business men as witnesses among the Americans being Capt. L, w. Mix, P. B. Chisem and Allen T. Bird.
 Addresses were made by General
 Torres and Gov. Corral. After giving
 hearty cheers for La Republica ant President Diaz, the Yaquis all marched
 out and as they diI Vice-Gov. Figue
 roa, issued S2 each to the privates anc
 S5 each to the chiefs. What was Jeff
 was distributed among the three Va qui commissioners each receiving about s7O.
 Col. Francisco Feinade then de
 livered an enthusiastic address anc .hree cheers Were given to President Diaz, General Torres, Gov. Corral anc Tetabia:c.
 A grand fiesta was commenced anc a grand good time was had. The settlement of this war will D q great thing for Sonora as it will ope1 enc of the richeif mining and agricul tural countries in the world.

WILL AVER CAUGHT.
Y02KVlLLE JAIL BREAKER TELLS OF
THE ESCAPE.
Tells News Reporter How the nur-
dersrs and Other Prisoners Broke
Out-Knows Nothing of Reese's

Tells a News Reporter How the nur-
dersrs and Other Prisoners Broke
Out-Knows Nothing of Reese's
Whereab cuts.
Will Aver, colored, one OF the
Yorkyille Jail breakers, was caught
by the police Tuesday at the home
of Sam Moseley ia the western part
of the city. Chief Orr with de-
tachment of the force surrounded
the house and Aver at once surren-
dered himself. Aver is quite
young negro, but seems to be no no
vice in crime. He was one of three
boys who were convicted at the last
term of York court for stealing a
travelling mans samples at Fort
Mill.
Aver gave a very interesting &C
count of the recent Jail delivery ,,in
Yorkville. He says that the plot
was planned several days before the
attempt was made. Reese and Luckie,
the two men convicted OF the muir
der of Williams at Blacksburg, were
the originators of the scheme where
by all of the ''jail birds" could gain
their freedom.
Aver says that when once out of
the jail he did not give himself any
concern about the other prisoners,
but put right out for Charlotte, ar
irving here early Monday morning.
He says he knew Moseley, having
worked for him before going to Fort
Mill, and he thought his house
would be just the right place to go.
He arrived at Moseley's home just
in time to join in big dance that
was in progress and remained there
until the police nabbed him last
night.
Aver denies positively that he
knows anything of the whereabouts
of either Reese or Luckie, and goes
so far as to say that he did not no.
tice the direction they took after
leaving the Jail. He says he was so
delighted at being free himself that
it never entered his mind to ask them
where they were going to secrete
themselves
The Columbia State of today says:
Governor Eilerbe yesterday offered
rewards that should result in the re-
capture of Reese and Luckie, the
slayers of Charles T. Williams, who
escaped from the York Jail few
days ago He offers $500 for the
capture of Reese and $500 for the
capture of Luckie. These are unus-
ually large rewards.

trail Saturday Night-Came Near
Diving Yesterday.

DYING Yesterday.
The average person thinks the old
gag of Mr.. Hayseed Brown, who
cam. from Grassy Corners, and blew
out the gas, is joke that ranks III
age with the boarding house yarns
and has the chegnutty favor OF hu-
morous references to irate mothers
in-law.
But two personages from Lincoln
ton Saturday night enacted the COM
edy of the Man who Blew out the
Gas, and the comedy came near end
ing in tragedy. The engagement
was for zone night only"
It will not be repeated "by re-
quest" or otherwise.
Saturday night Mr.. D. Clonninger
and Mr.. S. Lemmo1ds walked up tc
the Central register and had the
clerk to write their names on the
Book of Guests that Mine Host
Campbell keeps.
They went to th:ir room ana &c
sleep.
When the porter went to wake
them up Sunday morning he founo
the room full of gas, and the occu,
pants appeared to be dead.
Physicians were summoned at once
and for hours it was not known
whether they would recover.
Sunday night their condition was
improved, and today they were able
to take the morning train for thell
home.
They are employed by one of th'
cot O 1 mills at Lincolnton.
They did not know how the accl-
dent occurred, but admitted that th'
Gas must nave been blown out.
