Tarieton and the driver of the second team jumped to the ground and fled, making a wide detour toward Cobachi, where they arrived about D. m. Mackenzie was shot dead through the head, and Coy through the body.
 A party was organized at Cobachi, composed of ranchers and vaqueros l who took the trail at once in pursuit of 1 the Yaquis. They failed to overtake l the Indians, however, and returned to Cobachi bringing the bodies of the dead men. The bodies are now at La Colorado, and will reach here early to- morrow morning. The bodies are ac- companied by Miller and Tarleton. Bodies Stripped of Clothing.
 The Yaquis stripped two of the bodies | of their clothing. plundered the stages of all valuables and contents, burned one of the vehicles and fled to the mountains. Rings, watches and other jeweIry worn by Coy and Mckenzie were stolen from the bodies, but nc mutilation was attempted.
 1 Mckenzie was about 43 years of age Coy was about 40 and Stubinger 27 The latter Is well-known in Nogales but recently has been employed at the Hotel Arcadia in Hermosillo. He ac- I'companied the mining men for an out | ing.
 The party when attacked carried only revolvers and shot guns. With these arms the survivors of the first volley managed to stand off the Yaquis and l made their escape.
 It Is understood that the Mexican Government has ordered cavalry and infantry from Hermosillo to the scene of the killing, and it is stated that General Torres will command the troops | in pursuit of the Indians.
