Yesterday morning at 2:So, Officer Jose Tapia, policeman No. IT, who is on duty at nights at the depot, dis covered five Mexicans taking -four from a box car and loading it on a hand car. He called to them, when one man went down" for a pistol but the officer fired first after which the robbers ran in the direction of the brickyard. The officer thinks the bullet from his pistol struck the rob ber's pistol, and disabled it. The men had broken the lock and placed 22 100-pound sacks on the hand car when the officer discovered them.- Cananea Herald.
 There came near being another stab ping on Main street in Ronquillo about dusk Thursday evening. Two Mexi- cans got into a row when one knocked the othe down and then gave him sew eral slight stabs with a big knife, finally sticking it into the prostrate man just over the heart. A compan- ion made him desist before he drove it to the hilt.
 At present there is great scarcity of lumber in the camp and building and bridge work is almost at a standstill. A great many carpenters in the em. ploy of the Cananea Consolidated Cop. per company are kept at small odd jobs simply to hold them on the pay roll Several train loads of lumber ordered by the company are long since due and their detention en route is causing a great deal of inconyen fences.
