BIG e
Killed In Mexican Mountains BY 81
paso Hunter "A Fine lynx


A large mountain sheep hanging in
front of Nations's meat market yes
terday and today attracted a great deal
of attention. A placard pinned to the
animal announced that it was killed on
Mt. Franklin.
The announcement had the effect of
causing many sportsmen to get out
their guns and prepare for a raid on
the herd that was supposed to be some
where in the vicinity of the city.
Inquiry at the meat market this
morning ELECTED the information that
the sheep was not killed by Ex-Alder-
man Robinson on Mt. Franklin, but by
Floyd Payne in the mountains of Mex
leo The animal is a large buck and
larger than an ordinary deer. 1t is
heavily built and its hoofs show that
il was am ountain climber in its day.
In reference to the game on Mount
Franklin Dick Blacker says that when
he was up there the other day he "a
across a large deer in one of the can
N and shot at him three times with a
six shooter. The distance. however.
was too great for the shotS to be eff
fective and the deer scampered off and
was soon lost to sight in another can
on.
An unusual feat for a hunter in this
vicinity was performed a few days age
by J. A. Graham OF the Ell Paso En-
craving company, who. while hunting
in the Davis mountains. shot and killed
a beautiful specimen of lynx. The ami
NAL is of late years becoming very
rare and Mr.. Graham prizes the speci-
men YER highly. He had it skinned
and has the skin at his office.

BATTLE WITH YAQUIS
THE STCQY RELATED By TWO MEN
WHO ESCAPED.
Mexican Troops Mere Fired On Fro K
Ambush A d a Sharp Encounter
Ensued, During Which The CD
sudIt1es Mere HEAVY.

News reached the city yesterday u
a fight last Sunday between a bant
of Yaquis and Mexican regulars. TIL;
Indians fought from ambush an6
wrought great havoc.
The news was brought by Seth Tom
kins and Bill Lowe. two men who have
prospected in all parts of the west ans
who went to Mexico about eight
months ago.
Lowe and Tomkins had a camp about
forty miles from Sayapa and up to las.
Thursday they had not been molested
by the Indians. although it was no un-
usual thing fol a band of braves to
visit the camp. Last Thursday bou
eighty Indians arrived and begun help
ing themselves to the miners provis-
ions. The Americans objected SO Wig
orously hat the rouble ended by the
Indians completely ransacking the
camp and making the miners prison
ers. The braves made their wcy back
TOWARD their mountain stronghold.
Other Americans in the vicinity were
foASh W iSoih vi Nv PiSOltdhlShI y.
Tomkins and Lowe and a runner was
sent to h nearest Mexican garrison.
The c-ommandant dispatched two bat
talions of troops to pursue the Indians
and Sunday as the soldiers were
marching through anarrow defile of
the mountains they were fired upon by
the Yaquis. The assault was so sud
lei and unexpected and the Indians
We're so well e~ntrenched behind rocks
on either side and above the trail that
the soldiers could see nothing to shoot
at and merely wasted their ammuni-
ton while the Indians continued to
pour in a murderous fire. The COM
mander was compelled to withdraw his
forces for a short distance. where from
a more advantageous position the fight
went on %unabated at long range.
1t vas while the fight was in prog
ress and while the attention of their
guards was occupied with the soldiers

tunity to escape and slipped away I'M

second degree and fixing his impris-
onment in the state ~penitentiary fol
half a century.
Garcia's attorney, Judge Uvalde
Burns. says ne will appeal the case ii
his motion for a new trial is o%verruled.
His grounds for appeal will be that the
court erred in not charging the jury
TO consider the testimony for defense
in regard to the calibre of tn bullet. A
physician. he avs testified that he
weighed the bullet and found it to be
of not greater than II calibre. while de-
I PENDANTS pistol was of A calibre.
Garcia testified hat he ran home af-
ter the shooting and found that his
pistol had not been discharged. as not
n chamber was empty. He said he
thought he fired a shot. but apparently
had o His evidence apparently was
not believed by the jury and there are
persons who claim that he would have
Jared better had he old a s~traightfor-
Yard story or have remained off the
stand altogether.
/ Counsel for defense will claim that
the court erred in ignoring in his
charge the evidence introduced by de-
Tense.
The former case was reversed by the
highest cosrt on the grounds that the
evidence introduced by the state was
not sufficient to constitute murder in
the first degree.
