rector Of the Catholic church at

get the appointment Of the young
priest to their church and the peo-

him in high esteem were also a,x-

but fate has decided against us,
the old priest had been az
pointed to the rectorship OF
Breaux Bridge, died before he had
taken charge of his church, and
since his death, Father Langlois
has been appointed, and he is now
pastor Of the Breaux Bridge

the people of Bridge Bridge, be-
cause our loss will be & profit to
them.

YAQUIs HARD FIGHTERS.
Mexicans Lose More Than 200 in One
Battle.

MexiCans Lose More Than 200 in One
Battle.
Chicago, Feb. 28.-A special to the
Chronicle from Potam, Sonora, Mexico,
says: The Mexican Federal troops,
under General Torres, have saved Quay
mas from the Yaquis, but by dint of
the fiercest fighting of the war. and a
sacrifice Of 200 soldiers. The town
here is filed with wounded, and all
public buildings are utilized. Torres
anticipated the surprise the Yaquis in
tended. The Indians were accompanied
by 10 adventurers, miners and cow
boys, who acted as commanders Of sep
arate companies of 40 men each. The
Yaquis had also Maxim gun, which
had been smuggled through at Bisbee,
A. T., in load of machinery. The
gun was manipulated, the Mexicans
say, by two ex rough riders.
Torres reached here Thursday after
noon and decided to divide his army OF
700 men into two divisions. The first
and strongest, hanked by the gunboat
Democratic, left here at daybreak Fri
day morning. No scouts preceded the
force and the first intimation Of the
presence of the Yaquis was wither-
ing fire from the Maxim and q rife
volley from concealed Notifications in
dense thicket. The first division re-
treated in confusion, and was sheltered
in the timber growth along the river.
More than 100 men fell at the first fire.
The Democratic then steamed up and
swept the thicket with her machine
gun, but evidently ineffectively. Her
forward decks we're swept, and the pro-
tected upper decks peppered with bull
lets from the Maxim. Ten sailors and
First Lieutenant Rambolo, of the army
were killed. The Democratic drifted
for more than half a mile until bend
in the river sheltered her.
Late in the afternoon hill signals
showed the waiting commanders OF the
first division that the second detach-
ment had reached the neighboring
heights to the southeast in its flank
movements. A simultaneous attack
was then made from the front and
flank, and the Indians retreated. The
Maxim gun, disabled and useless, was
brought to Potam and 70 Indians, the
official report states, were found dead.
During the first fire OF the Yaquis 23
Mexican Federals were driven into the
river in q panic, and drowned. The
total Mexican loss was 227. The Dem
ocrata has been taken to Guaymas for
repairs.
This is the first time the Yaquis have
made use OF Notifications.

Independence, Feb. 27.-The post
office was broken into this morning
after 3 o'clock and over 5000 was Sc.
cured; the amount of cash was $212 95,
and stamps $400. An entrance was
made by taken out window pane in a
rear room, and then panel of the door,
thus giving admission to the office.
Tne tools were stolen from black
smith shop in town. A hole was
drilled in the outside door of the office
safe. just above the handle, and the
hole in the inner door was made just
above the combination lock, ,and powder
was used to blow the safe open.
The robbery was not discovered until
about 10 O'Clock today, when several
dollars worth of stamps were found be-
hind the adjoining harness shop by w.
II. Craven, which led to an investiga-
tion. 1t is thought that the thieves
have been in town for the past two days,
and could be easily identified. The
money lost belonged to Postmaster ].
A. Wheeler.
