Ysqui Indians ON the war-rnth In
Enrnest-Scvernl Americans
and Mexicnns KILLED.

ST. Louis, Aug. ?. - A special to the
Globe Democrat from Ortiz. Mexico.
says that any doubt that the Yaquis are
on the warpath in earnest was dispelled
Tuesday when news reached here that
several Americans and Mexicans had
been killed In pueblos. or towns, ia the
Yaqni river valley, east and southeast Of
this station.
The courier who came in with the
news OF the slaughter declares that he
saw a desperate fight at point 40 miles
southeast Of Ortiz. and that he has pos
tive evidence that j. L. Remley, a mer-
chant of Hermosilo. and j.. Miller, a
photographer In his employ, were
among the killed. Remley was one of
the best known Americans i'm Sonora.
The inhabitants OF the towns in and
near the Yaqui valley are in a state OF
terror.
Gen. Torres, commanding the first
military zone, which includes sonora,
Sinaloa and Lower California, who was
in the field with the Twelfth regiment,
Is reported among the slain.
No Information is obtainable as yet
of the number of fighting Indians I'M
der arms. but IL the outbreak is of the
proportions of the war ended in 1897,
the number may be placed at between
1000 and 1000. This outbreak is n sur
prise TO the state and army officials.
It is impossible TO secure accurate
figures as to the total number killed to
date, but the estimate at so on each side
Is not considered excessive.
Fl Paso. Tex. Aug. 2. - Louis r..
Trude. who has spent the past three
months in the heart Of the Yaqui In
dian country. reached here Tuesday
evening by way of Casa Grandos, re-
ports that on June "a and %. while on
the Rio Codros, i'm Sonora, he met three
bands Of Yaqui heavily armed, number
ing about 400 men. Many OF them
spoke English and said they were
miners and bound for Yaqui valley 10
protect their people and homes. They
said the Americans had never been and
would not now be molested. They said
they would annihilate the Mexican sol
diers who yentured TO invade their
country from the eastward as they
came through the Sierra Madre noun
tains. The fighting men will retire into
the mountains OF southeastern Sonora,
and there await the Mexican soldiers.
They claim the present war has been
brought about by the unfaithfulness
Of the Mexican government, which two
years ago gave them certain lands in
the Yaqui valley. and is now granting
the same to individuals and corpora
lions for speculative pnrposes.

The Professors as PIowmen.

Professors T. W. Butcher, Geo. {.
Wakefield, W. VI. Massey and E.
Kelley, aud Turner Barnett returned
THURSDAY from Daniels grove near
Oxford, where they fshed for two
or three days. The professors did Cot
have any too much success f.hiag,
hu, they succeeded in securing a Con-
tract for blowing sixty acres Of wheat
land. And thereby hangs a tale.
Its a tale Of how a plain. begriz-
.z'ed farmer with not mach Teddy
.cAshun" learned the city chaps" a
thing OF two. TIE professors drove
Unlo d bridge near Oxford and met a
farmer coming this way with four
horses hitched to a riding plow.
When the teams passed on the bridge,
the farmers horses became scared and
one OF them kicked violently and cut
his ankle on a asingletree OF the other
rig. The ankle bled profusely and
disabled the horse. The farmer drove
on and the professors, after express
ing sorrow over the accident, pro.
ceeded TO the grove and prepared to
enjoy themselves. Pretty soon the
farmer returned with blood in hi
eye. He told the professors that bis
horse had been disabled and that they
were liable to arrest and heavy fines
for driving onto a bridge after another
team was already On it. To make
matters worse. the farmer had a con.
tract to p.uw sixty acres of wheat
land aud By reason OF his horse teing
disabled be would lose the contract,
and they we're liable for damages also,
The proteSsJrs thought the farmer
was quoting law. and they became
badly frightened. Was there any way
to compromise the matter? The far
mer was willing 10 release them from
liability for DAMAGES aud immunity
from arrest if they would see that tht
sixty acres Of ground was plOwed anG
pay for the damage to the horse. Fifty
cents day until its foot gets wei
was agreed upon as a fair basis o
settlement for the damage to th,
horse. The professors then hireC
a man to plOw the wheat land, eacl
Of tnem agreeing to stand their shar,
Of the expense OF the whole affair.
ln view OF their unfortunate ex
perience, it would be rude tn ask 40,
Of the professors how they are gettinl

tendent Of construction.
Mr.. Mitchell declines TO say Just
what he will do IL notified ~ the
county attorney TO comply with tie
eight-houf law. 1t enforcement will
cut down the prUdts on the Jail fully
one.hfth. The stone work Of the Jail
Is being done by sub-contract BY D.
L. Murphy. Iii is said that the eight
hour law does not recognize sub-cOn-
tractors, but holds the original con-
tractor responsible. Mitchell seems
TO think the county will be the o3e to
suffer by its enforcement, as the ad-
vertisement for bids for the construc.
tion Of the Jail made 20 reference to
an eight-hour law aud bis bid for the
contract was made on the basis o. ten

10 other instances where the eight.
hour law was observed 10 erecting
public buildings 10 this state the ad-
yertisemeuts called attention to the
fact that work on the building would
be governed by that law. Because
the advertisement for bids for build
ing the jail made 40 reference to this

lprobably the county, will have TO
make him good if il is enforced.
