VICTIMS OF BANDITS
SIX PASSENGERS ON MEXICAN
STAGE KILLED.
Believed That They Were After
Wealthy Ranch Owner
Named Alverado.

Los ANGELES, Cal. March ia dis
patch from Tucson. Ariz., to the Herald
says: Mexican bandits held up the stage
which runs between Potam and TORN on
the Yaqui river. in Sonora, last TUESDAY
night killing all OF the six passengers.
Among them was Hitherto Alverado,
wealthy Mexican, who OWNS a number OF
ranches along the Yaqui river. The au-
thorities at Guayamas were at once notf-
fed
Alverado and his wife had taken the
stage from Potam to TORN and the ban
dts thought he carried a large sum OF
money with him The stage carries very
little mail and rarely money or valuables.
50 that Alverado must have been the mark
for the bandits. The hold-up took place
about halfway between the two toWns'
but just how the stage was attacked prop
ably will never be known, as all or the
passengers and the driver were Killed Iney
were picked up the afternoon OF the trag-
edy. and the circumstances give evidence
that they put up a fight, else they would
not all have been killed. Their bodies
were riled of valuabies. The traces nao
been cut and the horses had been allowed
to run wild. The cover OF the stage ana
the body were both shot full of holes. 1t
that the perpetrators of the deed were some
of the bandits who have taken refuge IN
the mountains back of the Yaqui river ana
were laying for Alverado.
Friends of the murdered ranch owner say
that he had little money with him. MT
months. With him were Senorita Julia
Berdo and Senorita c. H. De Gonzales.
both of prominent families in that country
and both of whom were murdered.
