INDIANS SUFFER HEAVILY.
Yaquis Fight Four Engagements With
Mexican Troops.

Yaquis Fight Four Engagements With
Mexican Troops.
AUSTIN, Tex, March IA special
from Poten, Mex, states that during
the four days ending on Friday the
Yaqui Indians and the Mexican troops
had four engagements near Cocorit,
Mex. The Mexican troops are endeav-
oring to force their way through this
section of the country so as to keep a
roadway between TORN and that point
open for travel. There are great
many Indians known to be in that i'm
mediate section and it is evident that a
very strong force will have to be put
into the field at once to suppress the
uprising. The engagement of the four
days mentioned resulted very disas-
trously for the Indians as in the neigh
borhood of
Two Hundred Were Killed
and possibly more. The Mexican troops
suffered very little loss of life, though
some % soldiers were wounded. All
the engagements were in the nature of
skirmishes, lasting only few hours,
when the Indians would retire. The
fact that the Maya Indians have also
taken to the warpath and are harrassing
the troops great deal gives rise to
grave surmises as to how long it will
take to bring the uprising to q termin-
alton.
It is feared that unless both Of the
factions are brought into submission
soon they will combine forces.

British Found Harder Task Than They
Had Expected.
DREIFoNTEIN, March 12.-All of yes
terday was occupied - fighting. The
Beers maintained stubborn rear guard
action along running front of twelve
miles on very difficult ground. The
British were advancing in three col
umns. General Tucker, to the south
waro, occupied Petrusberg unopposed.
General Kelly Kenny, after following
the river bank, moved in the direction
of Abrahams kraal.
At Dreifontein, about eight miles
south of Abrahams kraal, the Beers
were found posted in considerable
strength on the ridges connecting sew
eral kopjes, where they had mounted
guns. The action began at in the
morning with an artillery duel. Gen
eral French's cavalry and General Por-
ter's brigade
Supported Onr Guns.
The Boer artillery was accurately ham
died and the British cavalry found a
task harder than they had expected.
General Broadwood, with logged per-
severance, moved altogether six miles
southwark, trying to find means to
get round, but the Beers followed be-
hind rising ground and even attempted
to outfank him.
Meanwhile the Sixth division of in
fantry, advancing on the Boer left,
slowly forced the enemy to retire. Had
the infantry been able to move faster
the Beers would have been enveloped.
The last shot was fired at 7:30 p. m.
This morning not a Boer was to be seen.
The prisoners belonged to President
Kruger's own commando.

CROSSING ALARM ARRIVES.
A Bell Will Ring at the Park Entrance
When the Train Comes.

The electric alarm for the Omaha
crossing at the park entrance has ar.
rived and was tested at the freight de.
pot Monday The bell Is louder than the
gong on the fire wagons and can be
heard for several blocks AS one of the
aldermen remarked after hearing it,
Anyone who cannot hear that bell
ought to have guardian appointed. +"
The alarm will be arranged so that it
will ring at the crossing continuously
from the time that the front of the
train reaches 1000 feet of the crossing
until the rear of the train crosses the
crossing. This will give sufficient no.
tice to all. The bell will be placed five
feet high.
The alarm will be put up at once,
and will render this important crossing
safe from accidents.

sHERIFFs POSSE ON DUTY.
Deputies Numbering 900 Helping to KeeI
st. Louis MObs Down.


st. Louis, June 5.-Every power
house and car shed of the St. Louis
Transit company was guarded last
night by Sheriff Pohlman's posse COM
itatus. In all about 900 men were on
duty. A force of from fifty to sixty
men was stationed at each power
house and remained on duty through
out the night. At a. N. today an
equal number of men relieved those on
duty at night and will remain on
guard until Z p. N. today, when the
night guard will again take charge.
The posse is armed with Winchester
repeating shOtguns. Shells loade with
buckshOt will be used in case of dis
turbance. While on guard duty the
members of the sheriff's posse will be
subject to strict military discipline and
the rules governing their action put
much stress on identifying and arrest
ing the ringleaders of the mObs rather
than shooting people.
TheO McCOrner, a Transit company
line repairer, was shot while repairing
wires yesterday afternoon. His wounds
are not serious. He and his party
were fired upon from a second story

SETTING TIRES.
The Old Way of Shrinking Them on
and the Modern Way.


The old way Of putting a tire on a
wheel was to shrink it on. The tire
was made just trifie smaller than the
wheel and then heated, with the result
of expanding it slightly. When thus
heated it was crowded down over the
rim Of the wheel and then cooled with
water to keep it from burning the
wheel and also to contract it. Cool
ing, it was shrunk on to bind the wheel
tightly. The modern way of putting a
tire on a wheel is with a hydraulic
tire setting press.
By this method the tire is made just
a trifie larger than the wheel, so that
it will go over the rim freely. The
bed Of this press, upon which the
wheel lies horizontally, with an open
ing at the center for the hub, is COM
posed of is sections, radiating from
the center and in shape like the spaces
between the SpOkeS of a wheel. The
outer end of each section is turned up
ward, the turned up ends making a
continuous fiange, or collar, all around
the bed of the press. Each one of the
sections has under it hydraulic cylin-
der, and the sections are all arranged
to work to a common center. In use
the wheel is laid on the press with the
cold tire around it within that turned
up collar, or flange, around the edge.
When the press is set in operation, the
collar, or fange is irresistibly contract
ed. When it comes in contact with the
tire around the wheel, it does not bring
up against it, but keeps on contracting
just the same, now contracting the
tire as we'll and setting it upon the
wheel, the pressure being continued
until the wheel itself has been brought
to the requisite degree of dishing.-

SIXTEEN GOOD BOXERS"
Chinese Government Doing All 1t Can to
Encourage Atrocities.


London, June 5.-According to
special dispatch from Shanghai, the
Cossacks who were dispatched to the
rescue of the Belgians and who killed
sixteen Boxers" in the rescue, were
only permitted to go after stormy
interview between the eBlgian minis
ter, Baron de Vinck Gle DeuX Orp,
and the members of the tsun-i-yamen.
The dispatch says also: over forty
miles of bridges and stations on the
Lu Han railway have been destroyed,
and it will take months to repair the
damage. The German and Austrian
legation guards have arrived at Pekin.
1t is asserted that the government is
delaying the transition of kilograms in
order to conceal the movements of
the Boxers" Apparently the Chinese
officials will do nothing to prevent
massacres or outrages unless the pow
erS take vigorous concerted action"

GREEDY MACKEREL.
A GOrging Feast and the Way Ii
Was Managed.

| once enjoyed the privilege of seeing
an army of mackerel successfully cor.
ner a shoal of small fry in a rocky
shallow pool which was a cul de sac
The mackerel swan behind their vic
tins in serried ranks, company of
hungry, determined creatures, intent
upon a gorging feast to which there
need be no limit. They had followed
the fry for miles maybe, merely sWal-
lowing one here and one there to keep
their appetiteS Whetted. Now they had
cOrnered them where there was no eS-
cape for their victims. No alert fisher
man on the lookout for just such an
opportunity was at hand to convert
their triumph and feasting into captivi-
ty and lamentation. They might feast
at will.
And, We gods, feast they did! No
one who has not seen it would believe
that the cubic capacity of mackerel
could possibly deal successfully with
the number of small fish he actually
swallows. The way he conducts the
operation of feasting is unique. Open
ing his mouth wide, the mackerel darts
in among the small fry, some Of which
are perhaps one-third Of his own
length. In an instant one of these is
to be seen sticking half in and half out
Of his mouth. Then the mackerel gives
one gulp, and the victim has disappear
ed. Without q moments delay the
process is repeated and repeated so
many times that the spectator cannot
fail to be concerned for the immediate
future of the particular mackerel he
has watched. Yet nothing happens.
AS for the fry, their helpless anguish
is somewhat heartrending. The whole
shoal of them boils and churns the wa
ter in an agony of fear. High into the
air they leap in order to avoid their
voracious enemies, landing themselves
often enough upon the weed covered
rocks which skirt the pool and painting
their lives out there rather than leap
back into the seething mass of their
harassed companions beneath.-Long-
