ovERsHADows THE STRIKE
to Spread-Business Ia Suffer-,
ing from. II.

Cleveland, O., Ang. 2.-The strike has
practically been lost sight of in the pop
ular excitement over the boycott.
Everybody is talking about it, and the
newspapers publish many stories illus
trating the methods that are being re-
sorted to in the effort to prevent people
from riding OH the cars of the Big Con-
solidated. People of all classes and in
all occupations and walks of life are be-
ing affected more or less, and business
is suffering greatly in. consequence.
The street railroad company continues
to operate its cars on all lines, but many
of them are run over the road empty,
while on the other hand the cars of the
Little Consolidated and the union buses
are crowded to their utmost capacity.
Apparently the officials of the company
are not worrying over the situation,
but the strikers are jubilant, declaring
that they will yet win the fight, and
force the company to come to terms.
Ohio has no specific statute covering
boycotting or conspiracy, and it has
been questionable whether the boy
cotters could be reached. Judge Il. L.
Hamilton, who stands practically at
the head of the Cleveland bar, said that
it would be impossible to collect dam
ages from boycotters. "Boycotting is,
however, a erime," he said, under the
common law covering conspiracy, and
any person who is refused goods by
merchant can cause the arrest both of
the person who asked that the person
be boycotted and also of the merchant
who refuses to sell goods for con-
spiracy."
Adjt. Gen. ANline said Tuesday night
that he had found way to smash the
boycott so far rs ii affected the troops.
Every day sincethe soldiers arrived they
have been subjected to petty annoy
ances because of the refusal of mer-
chants to sell them necessary supplies.
Gen. ANline pointed out the other day
that these merchants could be prose-
cuted under the civil rights law, which
requires all keepers of inns, restaurants
and places of public amusement and ac-
commodation to serve all people alike.
Tuesday night Gen. Axline declared that
it any more complaints OF discrimina-
ton against soldiers came to him he
would appoint a judge advocate general
to proceed against the merchants, and
thus seek to bring them to time.

PAYS BIGGEST SUM.
tllin OILS Leads the Nation in the Amount
Realized from Internal
Revenue.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Illinois leads
all the states in the amount of internal
revenue paid into the treasury of the
United States. During the fiscal year
ended June 80 it contributed $47,359, 1923
to Uncle Sans exchequcr, overlapping
New York by about$7oO, 900 and Pennsyl-
vania by more than $24, 100000. The in
ternal revenue collections for the entire
country amounted 10 $273,4s4, 5s2,
which represented an increase of $780,
617,163 over the receipts of the fiscal
year Of 1898. Most Of this gain is due,
of course, to the war taxes, though it is
fair to assume small part of it may
have come from the natural increase
in business.

YaQui Indians ON the War-Path in
Earnext-Several Americana
and Mcxicans Killed.

st. Louis, Aug. 2. - 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, in the
Yaqui river valley, east and southeast of
this station.
The courier who came in with the
news Of the slaughter declares that he
saw desperate fight at a point 40 miles
southeast of Ortiz, and that he has pos
tive evidence that J. F. Remley, mer-
chant of Hermosilo, and L. Miller, a
photographer in his employ, were
among the killed. Remley was one of
the best known Americans in Sonora.
The inhabitants of the towns in and
near the Yaqui valley are in 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 vet
of the number of fighting Indians I'M
der arms, but if the outbreak is of the
proportions of the war ended in 1897,
the number may be placed at between
5000 and 1000. This outbreak is sur
prise to the state and army officials.
1t 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.
Ell Paso, Tex, Aug. 2. - Louis F.
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 25, while on
the Rio Codros, in Sonora, lie 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 to
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 ventured 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.

THAT'S my funeral. You do Jest as
I tell, yer. Don't make any slip. It
wouldn't be very healthy fer yer if yer
went back on me. I'd foller yer all
over kingdom come"
Rider jumped at the proposal.
Whether he would return or not was a
question he could settle later on. AT
present it was enough to be rid of the
desperate man who. eyed him as if read
ing his very thoughts.
"You'll come back. shall have gold
enough to make US both rich or else
shan't lie 'bove ground. Pm takin' all
the resk an eff yer don't come back
I shall prob'ly miss yer. I'lldo my part
an you see you do'yours."
1t was evident that he was about to
engage in some desperate scheme, and
Rider fastened to assure him that he
would be back as fast as possible.
"You'll travel light an you orter be
back in IL days." said Bowers. IT shall
look fer yer bout that time, So, long"
Rider started off on the back trail at
once, and. while he is making his way to
Dyea we must follow Hank Bowers as
he rides around the bowlder and APP
proaches the spotwhere Tom Scott and
his party had camped the night be-
fore.
He had no means of telling whether
his approach was observed or not, but
he rode boldly forward and soon
reached the deserted camp. Here he
dismounted and walked toward the
cliff between the scattered rocks in the
same direction he had seen the outfit
carried.
"I'll swear this is the way they went"
he said aloud as he paused before the
face. of the cliff and looked keenly
about him. '"They hain't got wings an
they must be here somewhere or they'd
never drove off them horses. They're in
some place horses couldn't be took, but
whar is it? faint up Their valley,
cause seen 'em come in here with my
own eyes,
For some time he paced about the
spot, examining each bowlder to see
that there was no hiding place near it,
but he could discover nothing and be-
gan to grow angry.
"Wouldn't it be slick if that cuss
should sell the bosses an skip out an
I shouldn't find these-Hello! What's
that!'
His restless eyes at last noticed the
mass of vines which covered the open.
ing in the cliff, and with a wrench he
tore it aside.
1--WE got it now," he cried, as he en-.
tered without hesitation and made his
way along the rocky passage. "What
luck! No wonder they let the critters
go! This beats all ever saw!"
Ahead of him was sharp turn, and
just before he reached it there was a
crash like thunder, and an instant later
the way was blocked by a massive rock
which would have crushed him had he
been few feet further ahead.
In spite of his wonderful nerve Bow.
ers was SO startled that he uttered g
shout of dismay, which reached the ears
of the men above.

CHAPTER MI.
DIGGING A FORTUNE,

Hank Bowers did not for moment
imagine that the big bowlder had fallen
by accident. On the contrary lie real
lied it had been purposely rolled there
to prevent his ingress. 1t followed,
then, that he had been seen approach
ing the cliff.
There must be some sort of valley
behind this ERE cliff,'' he concluded. as
he stood measuring the distance to the
top of the obstructing stone with his
eye, IAN that teller won't keep me out
of it long"
With confident air he retraced his
steps to the opening and removed the
packs from his horses. Then he took
a coil of rope on his arm and entered
the cleft once more.
Bowers had been a. cowboy once and
was an expert with the lasso. He had
noticed sharp spur on the upper side
OF the barrier, and with dexterous cast
he Topped his rope around it at the first
attempt. Then with an agility really
remarkable in so large man he drew
himself up about 20 feet, until he was
able to secure a foothold and Chamber
over the top.
To his surprise he saw no one, and
without the least sign of fear he
climbed up the short distance remains
ing to be traversed and appeared be-
fore the astonished eyes of the little
group, who were even then discussing
the noise they had heard few mo-
ments before.
"Hello, pards," he said, boldly ap-
preaching our friends. eyer don't seem
over'n above glad ter see me, but I'm
here. Now, what's ter be done? amt
very revengeful sort O. cuss or I'd
ask yer what yer meant by trying ter
squash me with couple o. ton O. rock
Jest now.'
His impudence kept the others quiet
for a moment, and then Tarbox stepped
forward and said, sternly:
"You are not wanted here. You were
kicked out of Ladue's for stealing, and
your present partner is thief and
would-be murderer. Where is hep"
1--WE parted company with the low
down skunk" was the ready reply, as
Bowers threw into his voice an excel
lent assumption of indignation. 'Tle
owned up this mornin' that he'd stole
them papers and dassent show his head
mere fer fear the man what owned 'em
might hev passed us while we was off
the trail. TOLD him ter git out an leave
my company, and he's gone back ter
Dyea. That's straight"
His manner was so earnest that he
made an impression and was quick to
notice it. Before anyone had time to
reply he went on:
''Its true / was kicked out o. Joe
Ladue's, but was drunk an took some
dust from chap what was drunker'n
l was. l had the craze fer Ticker on me
an didn't more n half know what was

that he was gaining ground, 1--WE gotta
