COWBOYS AFTFR SONORA.
They Say it May be Another State Like
Texas.

Dallas, Tex, Jan. 3O.-J. Coburn,
now here from Bisbee, Ariz., says the
cowboys and miners in Southern Ari-
iona and Mexico have organized and
are preparing to invade Sonora and
avenge the murder of six prospectors.
They will fight against Mexican troops
for the independence OF Sonora and the
Yaqui nation, and he is of the opinion
that the contemplated movement will
be crowned with success.
The FL Paso Times, edited by Cap
Captain Juan s. Hart, Cuban inter
prefer for the evacuation commission
and captain of immunes, says: 1.-The
six men who are said to have been dis
patched in Spanish style by Torres are
claimed to be American prospectors.
They were by accident found near a
Yaqui camp. No proof of any guilt
has been heralded to the world, only
the news of a merciless death to each.
probably ordered by Diaz himself. II
an investigation of these facts turns
out as reported, then Sonora may say
goodbye to the Mexican republic The
history of Texas may be repeated
President Diaz should disclaim, at once
the accusation that his authorities
have shot innocent Americans il
Sonora and he should warn his author

AN AUSTRALIAN PIGEON POST.
The PiGeongram System Has Been OF
Practical Benefit.

The PigeOngram System Has Been OF
Practical Benefit.
OF all the accomplishments credited
to the homer, probably none has been
of such practical benefit as that of a
number of birds of the Great Barrier
island Pigeongram agency, says For
est and Stream. These creatures are
trained to carry messages to and from
the Great Barrier island and Auck-
land, New Zealand, and the system has
expanded so much that it has now
become very important means of in
tercOurse between the Inhabitants OF
the island and their friends and bust
ness connections in the city. At the
time of the wreck of the steamer,
Wairarapa on the Great Barrier island,
it was four days before news of the.
calamity reached the capital and this
fact gave rise to the pigeongram sys-
tenn. At first but a few birds were
available for the purpose, but in 1896,
with the increasing population on the
island, it was found necessary to re-
enforce the feathered army, and at the
present time large numbers of mes
sages are daily sent from the island.
to the metropolis and vice versa, by
message was charged from the island
to the city and when a team of birds,
had been trained to fly from Auckland
to the island, messages were sent at
a cost of Is, and the messages to the
city were reduced to Cd each The
reason of the extra expense from Auck-
land to the island is the difficulty ex-
perienced in getting birds to leave the
city on their journey across the water
No messages for the island are sent
from the city after 10 a. m, as the is
land is often enveIoped in a fog after
| that hour. Some idea of the dispatch
with which the birds deliver their
messages may be gained from the fact
! that they average (bad weather and
| head winds taken into consideration
from sixty-five to seventy minutes,
! which journey Is about ffty-seyen
! miles. One bird will carry as many as
! four messages at a time. The mes

sage the receiver cuts through the per-.
foration- There are just 100 birds en-
gagged in the service At both termini
the usual trap for homers is used, on
entering which the wires fall back and
strike an alarm. This notifies an at
tendant, who removes the messages,
and the bird is permitted to enter the
