 Two were killed and three were burned to death in the fire which de stroyed the lumber yard of the Cana nea Consolidated Copper Company at the start of the revolution in Cananea last Friday night. George and Will Metcalf are the two killed, the names Of those burned being unknown. It is supposed they are all MexicanS.
 R. T. Lockie, who arrived here yes terday from Cananea, brings the frsI authentic report of the number that met death al the lumber yard. He was in the fight there, receiving a wound on his right cheek, winch was srazed by bullet from the rifle of q Mexican.
 Lockie states that the report that his father was killed is untrue. The name of his parent is J. NJ. LOckie, and he is still alive and well, however, the young man states that Bert Lock- ey, to whom he is in no way related, was shot down or stoned 10 death.
 "I was within few yards of where the Metcalfs were killed" said Lock- ie yesterday, being employed with my father in the sawmill, which au- joins the lumber yard.
 From what I saw and learned, the Mexicans, about 1000 strong, came to the Jumper yard to get Mexicans who were working there to strike with them. George Metcalf had locked the gates, and when some of them fri to ~lf fy,,h Nrl1 h@ turned on them.
 "The big crowd became frenzied and set fire 10 the office building. They forced the two Metcalfs to come out, and jumped on George, who was nearest them. They beat him sense less with stones and then stabbed hIm to death with candlesticks. Eigh,een stab wounds were counted in his bo1y. They shot Will Metcalf down.
 T started to run and they caught me, after a bullet had grazed my cheek. They searched me, DUt fud- ing no guns, made no further eflCrt to do me any harm, though ley did detail two Mexicans to take ne D n4y room.
 After the fire the bones of tree men were found in the corners of the yard, which was surrounded by T big fence. Evidently they had bid hen the MeXicans came to ask them to strike, and when the fire started were afraid to come out. Probably when they did try to escape they were cut off, being Suffocated and then burned to death.
 My father locked himself up in the sawmill as soon as twelve others got out The MeXicanS came to the doors and finding them locked went away. Though the sawmill is but short d4s- tanCe from the lumber yard, it escap- ed being burned down.
 The most of the Mexicans were armed with rocks, few of them having guns. They rocked the office before they set fire to it, and when the Met calfs first came out, threw rocks at them before any shooting was done on their side. The Metcalfs killed seven of the Mexicans before they were Overpowered. 'I
 Besides these killed at the office and burned to death ill the yards, one White man was rocked to death on the street while he was running aWayI from the yards. I did not learn hIs name.
 T had no warning and the Mexi- cans might have attacked us. I had seen several of them on the street and they were laughing and singing. IT, my opinion they became angry when the hose was turned on them and that started the trouble.
 T expected to return to Cananea to- l:-orTow, but it may be some time be- fCre the mill starts work. The iuu her yard is burned, and they have nc lumber to. work OF.
 While was there it was about the most exciting time of my life. Ineyer want to go through anything like 1t again. If the MeXicans had all been armed there would have been few of us left to tell the tale. do not be- lieye they contemplated any violence when they went out on he strike, ! or at least the great majority of them did not
