yAQOIS INDIANS ON WARPATH
IN TOWNS ALONG YAoUI RIVER.
Americans and Mexicana IBIassacred-
Two Well Known Americans Killed
General Torres Was Slain Number
of Armed Indians Unknown

st. Louis, Aug. pa special from Ortiz
Mexico, says; Any doubt that the Yauuis
are on the walpath in earnest was dis,
PEELED when news reached here that several
Americans and MeXicans had been killed
i'll the pueblos or towns in the Yaqu river
valley east and south of this station. The
courier who came in with the news of the
slaughter declares that he saw desperate
fight at point 30 miles southeast of Ortiz.
and that he has positive evidence that j.
+. Remly, a merchant of Hermosillo, and
L. Miller, a photographer in his employ,
were among the killed. Remly was one Of
the best known Americans in Sonora. The
inhabitants of the towns in and near the
laqui valley are in a state of terror. Gen
eral 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 OBJ
tainable as yet of the number of fighting
Indians that are under arms. 1t is impos-
sible to secure accurate figures as to the
total number killed to date, but the esti-
mate of 90 on each side is not considered
excessive.

MANY WERE SLAUGHTERED,
Rowing Bands of Naquis Terrorize
Northern Mexico

Mexico.
Chicago, Aug. "a special from the
City of Mexico says;
News from the lower Yaqui river coun-
try today is that rowing bands of Indians
are killing both Mexicans and Americans
and that Il number of Americans in the
outlying districts have already been
slaughtered. FeaIs are expressed for the
safety of the large number of American
prospectors who have been pouring into
the Sierra Madre mountains during the
last year.
On the 22d of last month signs of the
present trouble became apparent. and
Chief Tetabiate. always peaceably in
clined ordered the tribe to remain quiet
and ordered five of the principal distulbcrs
shot. The Indians fell on their chief and
beat him to death with clubs, and then a
large band massacred 80 soldiers in the
barracks at Bacum, slaughtered Carlos
Hale, prominent merchant of Guaymas,
and went down the river, numbering and
plundering.
The noted frontier general, Lorenzo Tor
res, with only 200 men, marched to Bacul
and threw himself on the assembled va
qui forces. A battle was waged for two
days in which 40 Yaquis and IL soldiers
We're killed.
The Yaquis were pushed back toward
the mountains, and on the third day an
other fight took place in which 80 Yaquis
and four chiefs were killed. The Yaquis
We're dispersed and driven further into the
hills.
State troops were gathered from all over
Sonora by Governor Corral. About 1900
men were modified and pursued the va
quis into their mountain Businesses. The
Yaquis took position on the peaks of Gu
esta Alta, and the latest report is that
battle was fought on July %, and the
troops were gaining an advantage

problem has been recently made by
Sterling Elliott of Newton, Mass, who
Is the recognized head of the League
Of American Wheelmen. Because OF
his familiarity with all phases of BIZ
cycle matters he is eminently fitted to
deal with the problem. Mr. Elliott has
lately been granted patent for stand
which permits the storing of a wheel
in the least possible floor area. The
economy of space is secured by placing
the bicycle on end-that is, resting
alone on the rear wheel, which Is ac-
complished by the aid of two wall sup
ports, each adapted to receive and hold
the rim Of wheel. In order to make
the bicycle absolutely secure metal
loop is hinged on the top one Of these
supports and after the wheel has been
placed in position the loop is dropped
