woNFS SENT WAY
Meanwhilc col Greene got his family
and many II the American women on board
4 train and started them toward Naco.
he organized the Americans, who were
armed into n defending party and tried to
bold the Mcxicans back until the women
dould be- got a in safety The defending
force was driven back slowly TO the smeltcr
works. Many of them were wounded
but they did more damage TO the advancing
Mexicans than they received themselves.
The other Americans took refuge in the
smelter works and helped in defending it.
SITUATION WAS CRITICAL FRIDAY MONT.
By this time Col. Greene and his small
party had despatched the train and made
q rush to join the other Americans, They
got to the smelter works by running through
q hail Of bullets. Col Greene took charge
Of the men. Soon after that the following
telephone message was received here
Send help at once, for Gods sake
The town was rapidly taking fire from the
burning lumber yard and the mob had sur
Rounded the smelter works and was firing
Upon the Americans inside. Every little
while they would try to rush the defences,
but each time the Americans, in spite Of
their inferior numbers and scarcity of arms.
Aicceeded in driving them back with heavy
lbsses.
The reports that came before this said
dat the mob was using dynamite and try
ing to get 4he Americans from their position
by setting FIRE to the smelling works.
AT COL. oREENE's HoUsB
The riots while in progress were the most
sensational ever Witnessed in Mexico since
American development commenced in that
country. Americans were assailedwherever
fen and their only recourse was to seek
Afety inside of Col. Greene's big country
residence on a hill commanding the town.
Owing to their inferiority OF numbers they
could not cope with the situation. Ten OF
the Mexican policemen were killed in the
first onslaught Of the rioters and this
practically left the town at the mercy of the
rioters.
The chief of police is noted as an Ameri-
can hater, and not many weeks ago shot
down an American mining man from San
Antonio, Tex, Tom Hold, while he was under
arrest and in the custody of two officers.
The residence Of Col. Greene, into which
the Americans fed is an adobe structurewith
a thick wall, on a high embankment, almost
like a feudaT castle Of old Europe, and the
rioters feared to try to take the place. This
il all that saved the American officers of
the Cananea Copper Company until res
duers arrived this morning.
MOB WAS WELL ARMED.
The main mob was we'll armed, having
sacked every place in the city where arms
we're to be found, and they also secured
quantities of dynamite from the head
quarters q the Greene Consolidated Min
ing Company, which they were using in
their work Of destruction. The lumber
yard was dynamited before it was fired, it
now develops.
Several other houses were dynamited,
hut the costly machinery, power plant ana
cbncentrators and smelter of the Greene
cbmpany wore not molested. They were
havily guarded for a time, andthe Mexicans
seemed to forget to destroy this property
ID their frenzied efforts to kill.
It may have been, it is suggested, that
their leaders counselled them against this
aid merely urged them to run out the
Americans and not harm the plant, as their
means Of livelihood would be disposed Of.
RURALEs ARRIVE IN SMALL FORCE.
There was no check to the rioting from
Friday at hobn until IL O'Clock Friday night
when the famous Col. Kosterlitzky and his
rbrales arrived from the interior, where
they had been trailing Yaquis. Roster
litzky is a Polish officer who has made a
name for himself in his work as commander
of Mexico's rural troop s, such as makes the
