ANOTHER YA0UI WAR
4 Whole Company of Mexican Hurdles
 Wiped Ont.

A telegram to the Douglas Dispatch
 dated at Saqui Grande, sonora. Mex
 Nov. 27, says: \ whole company of
 he Fifth regiment of Mexican rurales
 was killed and scattered by the Yaqm
 Indians at Rap2iro, near here, and the
 first news of tine disaster was made
 public last night by $. J. Flemming
 and J. Sidney Poole, who have just
 returned from their mines at Cumripa
 on the Yaqui river Mr. F'lemmiug
 said:
 "A whole company of the Fifth regi- meEt under the command of Colonel Francisco Picarardo, was wiped out of existence by band of Yaquis and ali
 that is known of the fate of the rurales
 is that six bodies were left dead at the scene of the attack. The rest of the company was scattered in the brush and no news has been received from the remnants of the soldiers. and it is supposed they were driven into the brush and killed enc at a time.
 The rurales were camped near Ra- pairo, and the Yaquis came on them in the early morning, before the who.e company was awake and so fierce was the attack of the Indians that they scattered the whole command and out
 side of the six dead that were left on the scene of the camp. there is notL.n :; to indicate the fate of the others. "The country about Cumuripa is in dread of the YaqUis, and in a town nf soc people no one dares leave his house after night. and while the men are at work in the mines they have their rifles and revolvers within easy reach. The Yaquis are as familiar with | that country as the oldest inhabitan- and there are but few places where
 water can be secured. They know aiI of the wells and all of the trails. ani | it will be next to impossible for the government to wipe them out of the country.
 "One thing is especially peculiar. Anyone who is known to be an Amer i ican can go through the Yaqui country without even an escort and they will De safer than if they had a company of rurales with them. The Indians have no grudge at the American. as they know he is not after their lands and they also know from where their sup ply of arms and ammunition comes. | They take no chances of stirring up the United States against them, bat when l it comes to the NIexicans they VII
 continue to carry On this 'sIhping' war fare as lCng as any of them are alive. | The only American who is known to nave been killed in the Yaqui country | during the last six months was Sulli- van, the manager of the Laduro placer mines, and his place was about twenty miles from where they were located. While going in two months ago two
 of my MOso or half-cast escorts were 1 killed. and while We were coming
 on this trip two of the natives were picked off from ambush. Our camp was surrounded one night and there
 was a lively fire from the Yaouis for a while, but we sent the head MosO Of
 our party to them and informed them that we were Americans. and the at tack ceased without any one being killed.

 A TOURIST PARTY.-Mrs. w. E. Stephenson. Miss Elinor Stephenson, Glenn D. Stephenson and Miss Anne H. Darlington, all from Philadelphia, and Miss A. A Sibley of Denver, is the personnel of a party of tourists that arrived here yesterday morning from the north and are registered at the Hotel Adams.
 A HOLD UP FEAREO.-The word spread around town on Saturday night that there was to be a railroad hold up somewhere in this vicinity before morning. The rumOr was based upon the circumstance that three horses evi- dently intended for q long ride were hitched in an alley and that Il e riders were in a near by saloon heavily armed. They were supposed to be strangers It was learned later that they were members of the cnwboy cOrtingent who had come to town to take part in the bronco events.
 BRONCHo RIDING.-There was e fair sized crowd at the Eastlake park yesterday afternOn to sec the bronco busting contest. There was only. one animal that contributed to the excite ment of the occasion but there vas some very good riding, and the spec tators were given a chance to see what the cowboys have to contend with in the course of their 1uties. There were no special prizes hung up as had been expected but every man who risked his life ard limb on a horse received a present of S2.50.
 ANOTHER INSURANCE MAN HERE.-C. F. Schlingheyde of San Francisco arrived here yesterday for the purpose of inquiring into the af- fairs of T. F. Dalton, in so far as they pertain to his fire insurance business. MT Schlingheyde is the rep resentative of the Law Union and Crown Insurance Co.,, Of London, of which company MT. Dalton was the local agent. He has not yet thorough ly investigated conditions. but from all that he has heard and by reason of Mr. DaltOn's recent settlement with the company, he does not appear t. be greatly worried. He says he held MT. Dalton personally in high esteem and was shocked at the news that he had left the city in the manner he did. Respecting Mir. Dalton's success sor he said there were many appli- cations for the agency, but the aD- pCintment had not been made yet. A. J. Herndon of Prescott arrived yester- day morning and was in conference with Mir Grunsfeld of the Equitable respecting the local agency of that company.

They Appear to Range Between Six

teen and Twenty-fOur Years.
1t may seem strange that women
have preferences for particular ages.
An inspection of the census, however,
leaves no room for doubt that certain
years are preferred and certain other
years disliked by the members Of the
gentler sex.
OF children fourteen years and under
the number Of boys Is nearly 100000
greater than the number Of girls; at
fifteen the boys are still 5000 ahead Of
the girls; at sixteen the girls are 5000
the more numerous, and each year
thereafter until the twenty-fourth
there Is an excess of women over men.
The favorite ages within these limits
are eighteen and twenty. There are a.
900 more misses Of eighteen than there
are boys Of that age, and the young
ladies twenty years old exceed their
masculine companions by $4,000. AT
twenty-four and twenty-five the num-
bers Of the two sexes are nearly equal.
Then the women begin to grow less
with great rapidity. The most unpop-
ular ages are thirty and forty. At the
former age there is difference Of 49,
600 between the two sexes; Mt the latter
$4,000.
One peculiar circumstance Is that
there are more women twenty years
old than there are girls Of thirteen or
fourteen or any age up to twenty.
This fact conclusively demonstrates
that twenty is very healthful age.
But If the younger ages are unhealthy.
where did the increased number who
are twenty years old come from? No
women are born that old.
Only an unusually elastic theory can
account for these peculiarities with be-
coming gallantry to the lovelier SEX

EAT WHILE THEY MOVE.
Chef Tells of a Popularity of Pa-
irons of Dining Cars,

The chef on one of the Pennsylvania
dining cars was particularly laxative
the other day. The train was waiting
for its Philadelphia passengers, and
every table in the diner was occupied.
The second call of Baltimore passen-
gers were standing around the aisles
waiting for vacant places. There was
no little amount of dissension among
those whose appetites had not yet been
appeased. The diners seemed to be eat
ing in most leisurely fashion, with no
apparent concern for those who were
less fortunate.
ITS always the way" said the dark
compleXioned cook, glancing through
the car. "When the train is running
along those people will eat about twice
as fast as they do ordinarily. But
when she comes to q stop they start to
talk and hardly touch bite. It's the
motion of the moving train that does
it. Now. you just watch them and see
If I'm not right"
Just then the train pulled out, and
the observer saw sight which firmly
convinced him that his informant had
spoken truthfully. Plates, knives and
forks began 10 rattle industriously. Ev-
cry one began to eat as If his life de-
pended upon the next mouthful.

"Nankee Doodle" was one of the nick

The transition from Nankee to Yam

Queer Sa1utatiOns.

The Abyssinians drop on their knees
and kiss the earth when they meet. In
saluting a woman the Mandinkas take
her hand. put it to their nose and smell
1t twice. The Egyptians stretch out
one hand. then lay it on their breast
and bow the head Among the less
civilized tribes of the old world. say
the Kalmucks and in Polynesia. the
custom Of rubbing noses is pretty gen.
eral. Perhaps the most extraordinary
form Of salutation is to be found In
Tibet, where the natives put out their
tongues, gnash their teeth and scratch
their ears.
