o'clock today. Yesterday Stennett and
his wife were in the city and on the road
home he kept quarreling at his wife con-
stantly. Upon arriving home the even
ing meal was ready, having been pre-
pared by the daughter Of Mrs. Stennett.
After eating supper Stennett renewed his
quarrehng and attempted to strike his
wife, when his step-daughter tnterfered.
He then turned and went into another
room, and the girl sat down in chair
near the door He soon came out Of the
room and drew his gun on the girl and
shot her. The ball passed through her
left lung and lodged in her back. Her
injuries are likely to prove fatal After
shooting the daughter he turned the gun
on the Mortified mother, who caught it
by the barrel, but was shot through the
hand The girl staggered out into the
yard, where her mother followed. Stem
nett came out of the house and handed
the gun to his wife and asked her to
shoot him. She threw the gun away. He
then went into the house and shortly
after came out, and it was supposed tried
TO make his escape. The screams Of Mrs.
Stennett attracted the neighbors, who
soon arrived and the physicians, Drs.
West and Miller, were summoned. The
state that the young lady's in
juries are apt to prove fatal.

ARE S|NNED AGAINST
Uncensorized Statement of
the Yaqui trouble.
CASE is LIKE THE B0ERS
And, Like the Beers, They
Can Fight Indefinitely.
CASE is LIKE THE B0ERS

San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 23.-Julius
Randall, well known mining operator
from the state of Sonora, Mexico, says
the war between the Mexican govern
ment and the Yaquis will last for two
years. Owing to the Mexican censorship.
he says the true state Of affairs has not
been revealed. The desire of the Mexi-
cans for the Yaqui lands is the princi-
pal cause of the war, in his opinion. Said
he: There are probably between $500
and 10000 Yaquis fit to fight, all well arm
ed and with plenty of ammunition. They
have rapid-ire guns, Krags, Mausers,
Winchesters and Springfelds. They are
fighting for the homes and lands of their
ancestors. The Yaquis are thrifty and
peaceful, but, like the Beers, fight to the
death when they go to war. They are
better prepared for war than are the
Mexicans They know intimately the
territory in which they are operating.
They have made it rule for years past
to keep two years food supply always
ahead. They can fight the Mexicans for
two years without feeling a pinch OF
hunger. In the meantime the business
interests of Sonora are prostrated. The
Yaquis are the workers of the state, and
when they take to the gun all industries
suffer. 1t is my opinion that the war
will last for couple of years, and then
it will be ended by the Mexicans making
big concessions and the Yaquis holding
on firmly to every right they ever claim
ed. This has been the experience in the
past. The situation is very serious for
people who are trying to do business in
Sonora, but it is hard to see what the
Yaquis can do but fight. The reports
that Americans have been killed or abus-
ed by the Yaquis are false. and were
doubtless sent out by the Mexicans for
their own purposes. The Yaquis have al
ways been friendly to the Americans"

JONES is A BORN FERNlNSTER
But He Is Hard Put TO 1t TO Find
Plausible Excuses


Washington, D. c., Nov. Ex-senator
James K. Jones Of Arkansas, chairman
of the Democratic national committee.
returned TO Washington today from his
trip to Chicago. where he went to attend
a conference of the executive committee.
In an interview tonight Senator Jones
said:
THE Hawaiian Islands are now a part
of our domain by annexation and the
people there should be admitted 10 all the
privileges of government that are ac-
corded to residents OF the United States.
If we are to regard ourselves as Chris
tian gentlemen, standing by the deciara-
ton of independence 1 do not see how
we are to force upon the Cubans or FIN
pinos any form of government without
the full consent OF the governed. 1t seems
to me out Of the question 20 make state
OF the Philippines. We are already
pledged TO give the Cubans independence
1 haven't the least doubt in the world
that If 1t had been known we were going
to acquire tho Philippines through our
war with Spain the words and the Phil
ippines' would have been inserted IN the
pledge for independence to the Cubans."
Would you support any immediate leg
islation looking toward 8 change IN the
government in Cuba?" the senator was
asked.
IF progress IS being made in Cuba to-
ward an independent government FOR the
Cubans in good faith, 1 would not hurry
unnecessarily about It's establishment. II
there is not good faith in the steps that
are being taken, I should be in favor of
shaking things up. Il makes no differ
ence to me If 30 per cent. OF the Cupans
are in favor Of annexation and should
express it by their vote. regard It as
all-important for us 10 entirely withdraw
from that island and leave the CuDans
free to act for themselves"
