Twelve Ranchers and Several Women
and Children Meet Horrible Deaths
Fireman Loses Leg in Saving Baby
from Being Crushed Under Train.

dispatch from Tucson, Ariz., says
that at least twelve ranchers and several
women and children met death at the
hands of a band of a hundred Yaqui In
dams which has been raiding the coun-
try along the San Miguel river in the
Ures district of Sonora. A party COM
posed largely Of American mining men,
headed by Joseph Dewitt, has gone from
POGO Station to rescue the survivors,
who are in danger of being massacred
by the Indians. DR.. Frank j. Toissant,
who has returned from Ures, brought
news of the trouble. After several fam
lilies had been murdered by the Indians
ranchers made a determined stand at
Buenos Ayres ranch, where, aided by
about thirty employees, they succeeded in
repulsing the Indians. 1t is believed that
fully twenty Indians were killed, al
though the number can only be estimat-
ed, as the savages carried away the
dead and wounded when they retired.
The nearest armed force is stationed at
Ures, and when DR. Toissant left Hermo-
sillo it had been sent to the scene of the
Outrages. Five Yaquis taken just out
side of Lachumata and thought to have
taken part in the massacre were hanged.

The most serious phase OF the riot

crowd of at least 10000 to further
and more serious attacks. Police and
military were attacked wherever they
appeared in small force and many in

of this disorder took place on Piotro-

oughfares of the city.
After pillaging the liquor shops the
crowd set fire to them and prevented
the firemen from extinGuishing the

CAR HELD UP BY BANDITS.
Motorman, Conductor and Four,Passen-
gers Lose Money and Jewels.

Two masked men held up, at the point
of revolvers, a Chicago and Milwaukee
electric car at Winnetka, northern sub
urb of Chicago. The highwaymen took
$50 from the four passengers on the car
and a watch belonging to Joseph Hand
ley, the motorman. In the excitement
attending the holdup Conductor William
Rudolph swallowed three So bills. The
robbery took place at a lonely spot on
the outskirts of Winnetka, within 100
feet Of the Northwestern railway tracks.
On the south there are no houses within
quarter of Il mile, while on the east
the country is filled with trees and
bushes, which would make an excellent
hiding place for the robbers. On the
north the nearest house is mile from
the scene of the holdup. The west is an
open pasture. The robber, after search
'7g most of the passengers and securing
IN all about $65 and the motorman's
watch, told the motorman to start the
car. When the car had proceeded fifty
feet the men waved their weapons at
the passengers and crew and said that
any one who left the car would be shot.
After giving the occupants of the car
this warning the men jumped to the
ground and ran back to a wagon and
drove south.

The famous New York Centcal-Lake
Shore Twentieth Century Limited
train, which was wrecked by running
into an open switch at Mentor, Ohio,
has been restored TO the position of
the fastest long-distance train in the
with his staff, President w. II. New
man issued an order which places the
Century" on its former eignteen-hour
schedule between Chicago and New
York.
This action was taken after a most
rigid and searching investigation into
the facts, which resulted in the unani-
nous conclusion that speed was in no
way factor contributing to the disas-
ter at Mentor For this reason, and
this alone. President Newman ordered
the restoration of the old schedule.
Had there been the slightest doubt
in the mind of a single operating Off
clal of any of the New York Central
lines upon this point the twin Cen
fury" fiers would still run between
II
hour schedule. In determining the
issue. safety, and safety alone, was
the paramount consideration.
In arriving at his decision in the
matter President Newman did not rest
content with the judgment and opin-
ions of his operating staff nor upon the
evidence of the investigation that was
conducted and concluded by w n.
Marshall and staff of the Lake Shore
and by the detectives employed by the
railroads. Commissioner Morris of the
Railroad Commission of the State Of
Ohio and w. o. Jackson, chief inspec-
tor of railroads and telegraphs of the
State Of Ohio went to the scene of the
wreck. and upon their official report
President Newman in large measure
based his action in restoring the Cen
tury'' to its former running time
Inspector Jackson's report is sweep
ing and conclusive upon the most i'm
portant points in connection with the
wreck. He declared that there was
no doubt that the switch was opened
maliciously and Intentionally. but was
unable to determine whether it was
locked or open. He further states:
Il do not think that the speed of the
train had anything to do with the
wreck or with the number of persons
killed. The number killed was due to
the fact that the dinner was just fin
ished, and the men had gone forward
to the smoker Fast trains are no more
liable TO accident than others, for they
make fewer stops, and many accom-
mediation trains run as fast between
stations as the Twentieth Century
Limited"
Commissioner Morris statement is
equally strong upon the point of speed
not being a contributing factor, and
upon these official statements Presi-
dent Newman feels that he can rely
to show to the public, first, that the
only thing for the mana cement to do
after the wreck was to return to the
former schedule until the facts were
determined, and that the only logical
thing to do now is to revert again to
the eighteen-hOur schedule.
Had, however, the conclusion re-
garding the cause of the wreck been
different, and had the State Commits
sion and inspector decided that speed
was a factor, President Newman
stood ready not only TO continue the
Century" Oh twenty-hour schedule.
but also to go over his entire train ser
vice list and revise it wherever the
speed of trains came into logical con
fiict with his action in the matter of
the Century"

COST OF LIVING is HIGH.
Prices of Necessaries, Says Report,
Continue TO Increase.

Prices of fuel, clothing and practically
all food products are constantly increas-
ing, according to a bulletin just issued by
the bureau of labor, covering the period
from 1890 to 1904. In the early '90s
prices We're very high, but in the last
four years they have been steadily in
creasing until now they are relatively
higher than in 1892. The period of low
est prices was from 1894 to 1897.
The lowest price of beef was in April,
1896, when the best choice was quoted
at $685. to $4.25 per hundred The high
est price was the latter part of August,
1902, when the price touched $3.50 to
50 per 100 pounds. Corn was lowest
in 1896 and highest in 1892.
