Had Been Assured by Mex
leans That a Military Es-
cort Was Not. Necessary

NOGALES, Ariz., Jan. 22.-H. L. Mil
ler and Charles E. Tolerton, who es-
capped in Thursdays Indian massacre
in Sonora, Mexico, passed through here
this morning with the bodies of Coy,
Mackenzie, Call and Steubinger, bound
for Chicago. The correct names and
addresses of the men killed are: DR.. *.
C.. Coy, $3.50 Woodlawn avenue, Chi
cago; John X. Mackenzie, 2614 Indiana
avenue, Chicago; NJ. A. Call, Sioux
City, Iowa, with relatives residing in
Toledo; Walter Steubinger Kewanee,
Illinois.
Charles E. Tolerton is of Salem, Ohio,
and H. L. Miller is well known in Los
Angeles, where he had. spent the last
few years. Tolerton is young man
of 25 years and a cousin of Call. :.
1t now appears that the party asked
for an escort from the Mexican author
tiles at Hermosillo and an order to the
military at La Colorado was issued.
Upon reaching La Colorado the escort
was requested, but the Mexicans re-
piled that there were SO many in the
party an escort was unnecessary.
Thereupon the party left for Camp To-
ledo and reached there without diff
ficulty.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Forshaw of Color
ado, from either Cripple Creek or Col
orado Springs, were with the party on
the outward trip, but left the main
party before reaching Camp Toledo and
are now in camp and in no danger
whatever. Fred Garrettson, with his
wife and child went over the same
road last Wednesday or Thursday and
undoubtedly reached their camp. Gar
rettson is from Buffalo and is engaged
in mining in the Sahuaripa district, So
nora. A Mr.. Pelletier, mining engi-
neer, recently employed by the Zarasca
Mining Company, is with Garrettson.
All the mining men in the district
where the massacre took place are
coming in from camp and the coun-
try undoubtedly will be in a feverish
state for some time TO come.
1t Is stated on high authority that
just a month ago Governor Yzabel
held an extended conference with a
large number of Yaquis at San Miguel
to see if all differences could not be
adjusted, and the Yaquis said that
they demanded all the land along the
Yaqui River and wanted all the Mexi-
cans and other settlers there to va
cate. Governor Yzabel replied that
was impossible and the conference
came to an end.
DIR. Coy's body and head were badly
mutilated, his head being mashed in
with stones. His body was stripped of
it's clothing as were the other dead.
The survivors got away with their
clothing only, all their money, tickets
and papers being taken by the IN
dams
William Chapman Potter. son-in-
law of Secretary Morton, has not yet
been located, though it is believed he
will be located tomorrow.
Within seven miles of the scene of
Thursdays tragedy the Yaquis killed
on Friday about noon three Mexicans.
One of the Mexicans was a prominent
man in that section. The Yaqui Cop
per Company men, Brown, Sauntry
and Zetelle probably are at Torres or
Hermosillo. They had planned to
leave Torres Saturday morning, but
news of the outbreak will probably
turn them back. Brown is a partner
of Senator Thurston and resides in
Washington, d. c., as does also
Zetelle. Sauntry is from st. Paul
The Mexican authorities will make
every effort to capture the Indians,
and if successful swift punishment
will follow.
Merrill A. Call, one of the victims
of the Yaquis, was formerly a resi-
dent of this city, having been en-
ployed by the Wagner-Bullock Elec-
trio Company. Call was a nephew of
Rev. George w. White of the Central
Methodist Episcopal Church on Mis-
sion street
