CLASH WITH NATIVES
Thievlng Filiplnos Get Into Trou-

IMCtIh9 EIupIHOS OCl lnlO lTOu-
BILE.
OMANILA, Aug. 26.-There has been
serious clash at Cavite between Unit
ed States soldiers and insurgents, the
riot resulting in the killing of one SOL
dier and the serious wounding Of an
other.
George Hudson, mem Der of the Utah
battery, got into dispute with ma
tive shopkeeper. A great crowd OF
natives ran to the scene of the distur-
bance and at once began firing, killing
Hudson, and seriously wounding Cor
poral VIM. Anderson of the same bat
terry, who had hurried to the assistance
of Hudson. A detachment of the 4th
cavalry was called out and dispersed
the Filipinos.
On the same night some soldiers do
ing guard duty saw large party of
natives stripping the wreck of a gun
boat which was lying off Cavite. A
boat, with an armed crew, put off from
shore. The soldiers hailed the natives,
who failed to answer. Then the SOL
diers fired volley, killing one and
wouuding another.
Aguinaldo promptly denied any con-
nection between the natives in these
affairs and his army. These fights
show the sullen disposition of the
natives toward the Americans and il Is
feared there will be frequent serious
upr1singS.

One of the most notable arrests that
have been made in this section for q
long while was made this morning at
day break by Richard St. Leon, who is
more Familiarity known to the police
and the boys as "Diamond Dick" He
made one of the arrests of the year
when he walked up to Inez Gonzales
on the ranch of that fugitive's father
in-law down near Ft. Hancock, and
placed him under arrest.
Dick never gives up the chase, and
when he came in this morning with
Gonzales in charge all the officers, both
city and county. had to shake hands
with him.
Leon said that be located his man
last night and with the assistance of
two others, who are quite prominent
down in the lower end of the county.
Benino Alderete and Cecilio Cardena,
he went to the ranch this morning and
found his man and made the arrest
without fight. He brought him on to
town and now has him behind the
county Jail bars.
Gonzales is wanted here on six or
seven charges. He had been tried for
some OF them and was out on $3.50 bond,
which he jumped. This was about two
years ago and he has been at large ev-
er since.
DlStr1ct Attorney Dean says that this
man Gonzales is wanted more than any
other criminal at large in this sec
tiOn.
Diamond Dick" who made the ar
rest is one Of the most vigilant rangers
in the service, and there Is not q man
better liked by his brother officers. 1t
was he who broke up the big gang of
thieves which had for so long q time
been robbing the Mexican Central
box cars down between Chihuahua and
TOrreOn.

White mountains and the Ruidoso.
He understood that this section was
soon TO be opened for settlement and
would be if immediate steps were not
taken for securing it for park.

Rich mineral deposits are found in

story Oh Himself.

At the gathering Of the retail grocers

cences We're exchanged, and many Were
the tales which the grocers told OF each
other. One grocer, who now enjoys the
distinction Of being the leading grocer
in his section Of the city, tells a tale on
himself which bears repeating.
1t happened when he was new in the
business. Ona day Il spice salesman,
representing ;.n eastern firm. called on
him. The grocer said he didn't need
anything in his line. That was the nat
ural thing to say, however, and it did
not worry the salesman a bit. He talked
on in the hope of getting an order. SaiG
he:
Where do you buy your pepper
now::'
II buy it Of S. & Co..
"Oh, l wouldn't buy their pepper
It's half peas!'
ooh, you are mistaken there! The,

was easily done. Taking a pencil, b
