WILD WOMAN FLEES TO HILLS FROM
 IMAGINARY 7uRsUERS.
Sheriff Finds Demented Creature in Mountains West of Town Runs from officer-in pitiful Condition from Hunger and Exhaustion.

Tuesday morning Sheriff Fowler captured an insane Mexican wo- man who was wandering about in the hills and brought here to the county jail. Wednesday she was examined by Drs. N. K. Noon and Kingsley and was ordered deported by the immigration officers. Une of the officers escorted her across the line to Nogales, Sonora.
 The woman is Guadalupe Garcia and her home is said to be at Hermosillo.
 Word was sent to the sheriff Tuesday morning that the woman had been seen in the canon east of town Monday afternoon. She ap- peared at the Clark residence. but refused food and in the evening left the place and wandered to- ward the hills. Early Tuesday morning she was seen in the hills east of town and the sheriff was notified
 Sheriff Fowler mounted his horse and rode about in the hills for some time before finding the woman, and when he did finally see her she endeavored to escape by running. The sheriff dismount- ed and soon overlook her. He l placed her on the horse and brought her to the county jail.

NEGOTIATIONS IN PROGRESS TO END
 BLOODY INDIAN WAR.
Red Men Mearied of tong and Hope less Struggle Ask for Conference with Government Representatives. wit Meet st tres.

Negotiations for peace are said to be in progress between Yaqui Indians and the Mexican govern ment. The news was sent to HE OASIS office yesterday by friend who is now in that section ot So- nora, and who, during his travels through the mountains has met and talked with some of the Yaqui leaders.
 Couriers are journeying through out the state wherever there are Yaqui Indians, notifying them of the negotiations in progress and exhorting them to commit no fur ther depredations pending the peace conference which is being prepared for and which it is now contemplated will be held in the town of Ures, Sonora, within very few days, or as soon as the Yaqui leaders can be gathered together to meet the representa- tives of the Mexican government at that place.
 Mexican officials are saying no- thing of the negotiations, but Ya- qui Indians assert that they are tired of bloodshed and see no hope of avoiding extermination but in making peace with the Mexicans. and that they have decided to give up the fight if anything like req sonable terms can be made with the government representatives.
 Already several of the leading Yaquis of Mexico are said to be within half days travel of Ures, ready to enter the town when the others have arrived in the vicinity and when all preparations have been completed for the conference.
 The only information as regards what will be asked for by the In dians comes through one of the Yaqui leaders, who, in conversa- with an American mining man near Ures Thursday said the In dians would ask for cession of land on one of the rivers, where water can be obtained for irriga- ton, and re-establish themselves as peaceful farmers. When asked if they would endeavor to regain possession of the land in the Yaqui river country, where they were located at the outbreak of hostil- ities six years ago, the Indian was non-committal, except to inti. mate that he did not think it pos. sible for them to regain their for mer possessions and even intimat, ed that they might agree to settle in some other state than Sonora.
 However, 1t is not expected that there will be any bloodshed during the next week or so, as the messen. gers have already covered almost the entire state of Sonora and have the assurance of the Yaquis in places where they are most numer-

HE HAILED FROM CHICAGO
And CeIebrsted His Birthday Anniver-
 sawy in MogaIes.

It was his fifty-second birthday and miles of prairies, mountains and desert lay between him and his Chicago home. He was in the wild and woolly west of which he had read so often, He was in the wooliest part of that wild side of the continent--Arizona. He would celebrate.
 Cooped up in his little business office in the crowded city he had often read of the wide open towns of the west. At last he was in one, and with no meddling friends or relatives to interfere with him he would celebrate.
 To note the different and varied features of the celebration would require considerable time and type. Let one feature stand for sample. Numerous trifles may be passed over and stop finally made at the roulette wheel in the Monte Carlo.
 Twenty-six?
 Why, 26 was his birthday.
 Sure he would back 26.
 And he did.
 Time and again 26 turned up and numerous big stacks of various colors were pushed across the table to the cashier and the money taken in. Tens, twenties and tifties went to pay for drinks at the bar,

 You bet 26 was a lucky number.
 Why 26 was his birthday.
 Sure he would bet on 26.
 And again 26 came his way, and again large stacks of different colored chips crossed the table and were cashed in to make room for more. 1t was like a special sale of summer goods, to make room for the fall and winter stock, and the rubber necks applauded each win- ming.
 Three hours passed and during that time 26 had come up many times and even repeated. Large stacks of chips had been cashed in and he who was celebrating his 1 ffty-second year finally rose from the stool with the remark: "Egad, didn't I mako some fine winnings, though? Did you see how 26 came i up? You bet 26 is a lucky num- Der. Why, 26 is my birthday"
 He had made number of big winnings on 26.
 He was happy.
 He had celebrated fast and free, with none to interfere and though 1 he was out several hundred dollars he had made some fine winnings on 26." You see, he had covered many numbers that never turned up. The numbers that lose are never mentioned. They are only paid for. But. egad, he had cele- brated in style and had made some winnings on 26.

ous that no more blood will be shed until it is known positively that no peace treaty can be made. It is reported that they are dis couraged and are anxious to make peace at almost any terms, that they again may have homes of their own and not continue to be hunted like wild animals as they have been for the past six years.
 For more than two centuries there have been strife and blood shed betweenthe Yaqui Indians and the Mexican people, the only cessa- tion of hostilities to last for more than a few months being the two years between the making of the Ortiz treat in 1897 and the out break of the present war in 1899.
 Tn 1897, the Yaquis, in com panies, with well formed ranks, marched into Ortiz. Sonora, for a peace conference with represent atives of the Mexican government. There they were met by Governor Ramon Corral, now vice-president of the Republic, General Lorenzo Torres, General Luis Torres and numerous other Mexican celebri- ties. Great pavillions had been erected for the entertainment of the Indians, and clothes and prov isions were distributed among them and about three score head of cattle slaughtered and barbe- cued.
 There the treaty by which the were ceded the Yaqui river lands was drawn up and signed. Besides the Mexicans and Yaqui signatures it bore the signatures of two Amer jeans. both Nogales gentlemen, Cap. l.. ". Mix and Colonel 4. T. Bird, among the score or more oi witnesses to the treaty
 After the treaty the Indians went to their chosen home on the banks of the Yaqui river and settled down to a life of farming, and it was believed at the time that the peace then consummated would be lasting.
 But two short years of peace covered the life of the treaty which was signed at Ortiz May 15, 1897 Tn 1899, when water was scarce ir the Yaqui river, there was trouble over water rights with Mexican ranchers. Blood was shed and the soldiers were called out to quell | the disturbance.
 Once more the Yaquis went on the war path and for the last six years have nurdered and plunder- ed. Without any great leader however, their depredations have been more on the order of brigand- age than otherwise, as they trav. eled only in small bands. No bat tie of any moment has occurred during the SIX years of warfare but there has been a continuou' string of murders and holdups some times four or five or ever half a dozen people being mur' dered at one time. During the pas month murders have been reported from numerous places in the In dian infested districts and rancheri in Sonora are beside themselves with joy at the prospect of earl! peace.

''The Dentist and the Doctor. he
referred to the time when there was
no such a department as dentistry,
when the doctor looked at an aching
tooth and removed it, not even
knowing or caring if 1t could be
saved. He spoke of the progress
made in his chosen profession dur
ing the past 20 years and pointed
out that now the doctor paid no
attention to the teeth but sent his
toothaching patients to the dentist
rather than run the risk of losing
his patron age by extracting tooth

spoke of the growing tendency OF a
more fraternal feeling among the
men of the different professions as
we'll as those in the same calling and
urged that such spirit would t'e'
