The Other Bandit Took Flight
Toward the Mexican Boundary
Line-Another Posse Organized
to Pursue the Outlaws.

NOGALES (Arz.), Oct. 17.-Word was
received yesterday at the Sheriffs Oh
flee from Harshaw, this county, that
a party of bandits camped in the rata
gonia Mountains had for some days
been robbing and plundering farms and
ranches in the vicinity. A traveller who
had been apprehended by the robbers
also came into town and reported nav
ing seen fifty gallons of contrapano
mescal in the mountains near the camp
of the bandits.
A report was also received yesterday
that an American had been shot by
the robbers. The Sheriff organized a
posse and left last night, calculating
to arrive at Harshaw about daylight.
This forenoon d telegram from Flewell-
ing brought the news of a fight be-
tween the posse and the bandits at
daylight this morning. One of the
bandits was killed and another wound
ed. None of the posse was injured.
The robbers took flight toward the in
ternational boundary line. In response
to a telegram another posse was or
ganized and left at noon to-day, with
the hope of intercepting the robbers
The horses of the Flewelling posse gave
out, and the men were consequently
unable to follow the trail. A posse will
also go out from Nogales, Sonora, to
take the trail, if the robbers succeed in
escaping across the line.

FRUIT GROWERS.
A Meeting Held at Riverside Yes
terday Afternoon.

RIVERSIDE, Oct. IA general
meeting of the Fruit Growers and
Shippers Association was held here
this afternoon and was largely attend
ed by members from different points of
Southern California Leland Lyon of
Redlands presided.
After appointment of committees and
the election of officers, the meeting
took up the matter of freight rates, and
resolutions were adopted pledging the
association to do its utmost to prevent
the adoption of rebates and tariff rates
that tend to injure the fruit interests.
The payment of private rebates was
denounced as being inimical to the in
terests of both the shipper and the
grower. Resolutions to pledge the in
dividual as we'll as the organization
to work for the elimination of special
privileges granted to some interests as
against the whole shipping industry
were passed, it being held that such
practice results in disadvantage to the
industry and the community it sup
ports. The last resolution reads:
That the policy of initial lines as it
is now understood is openly defiant of
the interstate commerce laws, and in
imical to the welfare of the industry,
for which reason the powers of the Fed
eral courts should be invoked to cor
rect the fragrant evils now existing"
All the resolutions were adopted with
but two dissenting votes.
The meeting then took up the matter
of proposed tariff reciprocity with ia
maica, and a strong set of resolutions
were adopted and transmitted to the
meeting of orange growers in another
hall.
The resolutions pledge the shippers to
assist the growers in every way posi-
bic in their fight against the measure.
They also pledge the association to con-
tribute % per cent. as much money to
the defense fund as raised by the grow
ers of Southern California.
meeting of growers was also held
to-day, at which the question of the
Jamaica tariff reciprocity was the sub
ject of discussion. After a long dis
cussion, in which a large number Of
leading growers took part, it was de-
cided to send agents to Washington to
work against the treaty, and it was
agreed to raise the necessary funds by
taxing orange shipments one-fifth of
q cent per box.
The meeting was enthusiastic, and
many growers advocated the formation
of a permanent organization for the
purpose of preventing antagonistic leg
islation.

The Grand Chapter in Session al

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.-THE
Grand Chapter of the Eastern Star
held its first session this afternoon.
There were present all the grand Off
GERS and delegates from all the chap

the jurisdiction be divided into ten dis
tricts, with one grand instructor for
each district, that the time for electing
officers for subordinate chapters be
changed so that such shall be held
prior to the meeting of the Grand
Chapter, instead of so closely following
it as at present.
The Grand Patron in his report says
that during the year there were instic
tuted nine chapters. He suggests that

Money in Patents.

Since the world began something over
a million and a half of patents have
been issued in different parts of Christ
endom. OF this aggregate more than
half million belong to America. Since
1886 nearly 600, 900 have been issued by
the United States.
During the last twenty-five years the
Government has granted twenty I've
inventors more than 100 patents each,
the whole numbering about 4,S94. Ed
ison has received I'll patents.
Connecticut holds the record where
States are concerned. Last year S9f
patents were granted her citizens; this
was in excess of those granted TO any
other State.
For the last few years the most active
line in the whole realm of invention
has been the bicycle and it's attach
ments; now it is the horseless car
riage.
It costs about $4,000 to patent an in
vention all over the world There are
sixty-four countries in which patent
can be protected.
A Louisville, Ky, man is paid a sal
array for keeping secret of a formula
for making enamel.
Since the establishment of the Patent
Office, in 1870, about 4 1900 patents have
been issued to women.
Mary Kies, in 1909, with her machine
for weaving silk and thread, was the
first woman patentee. Her royal high
ness the Duchess of York is one of the
latest aspirants for honors in the field
of invention. 1t is a 'hygienic" teapot,
which her highness has patented-a
teapot which is adapted for the sick
room. 1t is quite generally used in
London hospitals.
The Princess Beatrice is also of an
inventive turn of mind Six years ago
she took out a patent-or, at least, she
is said TO have done so. The inven ton
was tea caddy, accompanied by tea
making spoon, which does away with
the necessity of a teapot.

been friction between the soldiers and
the Indian police, and Friday night Oc-
tober 18th, twenty-seven soldiers left
the post bent upon mischief. About
half their number vent to Tonic In
dian camp situated below the officers
quarters near the Gila River where in
suits were offered the squaws. The in
suits were resented by the Indian
bucks, who ordered the soldiers away
from the camp. Thereupon the sol
dfers attacked the Indians with Mes
quite clubs, beating four of them into
insensibility and severely injuring
several others.
The Indians, while they showed
great deal Of self-restraint, were new
ertheless incensed over the unwarrant-
ed attack, and the bitter feeling has
extended to other camps, involving all
Indians under the supervision of the
San Carlos Agency. The Indians de-
manded punishment of the soldiers who
participated in the assault, agreeing
that II the culpritS were arrested and
punishment meted out to them the in
cident Woud be considered closed, 9TH
erwise they would take the matter into
their own hands and threatening to
exterminate the soldiers.
There are probably 1000 adult male
Indians at the agency, all armed, and
the consequences of an outbreak are
viewed with much apprehension. Thir-
teen soldiers implicated in the assault
upon the Indians have been arrested,
and will probably be held for trial in

riously injured by the soldiers is not
