uation in Spanish. After that I could not make them believe that was any thing but a halfbreed or Mestizo and it probably saved me a little trouble in the cell. I was put in about 3:3O and remained until about 9:3O o'clock MT. Link and Colonel Greene heard that [ had been put in the career ana fmme- diately made arrangements to get me out with the above result While I was dead to the world, so as to speak. there had been a fight in which eleven Mex jeans were killed found when l reached home that Addine and all of the ladies that had not left town. had gone to Col. Creene's large house on Chihuahua avenue. guarded, or rather helped guard the house and mesa until 1 o'clock and then came home and slept until o'clock Sat urday morning there was not much do- ing but Saturday afternoon the fight around the big railroad trestIe in Ron quilio began an dthirty Mexicans and nine Americans were killed. Intermit- tent fighting continued until along in the morning. Saturday morning [ counted eleven collins go by the house part of the result of Friday nights fight.
 Armed men from Bisbee and neigh boring towns came in but it only. seem ed to make the Mexicans more mad. More. arms had been brought in and soon every American in camp was arm ed. Kosterlitzky's men arrived this morning and the town was immediately put under martial law. Then a little later. 300 troops from Hermosillo ar rived and affairs were soon put under control. l sent Addine to Naco today at noon. Tonight about o'clock they began putting everybody off the streets and there are orders out that every body found on the streets after dark will be killed.

The trouble started over the demands of the miners who asked for eight hours work at S5. .OO Mexican money, instead of ten hours at $4.OO which they have hitherto been receiving.
 It is now 10 o'clock Sunday night. There are nine boys here at the house, with six pistols, two rifles and two SAOl6 uIlS ana plenIy or ammunition. Five of them are sleeping now, but they will relieve us at 1 o'clock. Emmett Mccarthy is sitting opposite me. We do not anticipate any trouble tonight, but it is best to be prepared.s Every body needs sleep the worst way as it has been a continual guard up and down for the past three nights.
 Up to date from fifty to sixty Mex jeans have been killed and apout twelve Americans. Do not by any means believe newspaper reports about the blowing up or burning of any buildings, except the lumber yard. Neither MT. Greene nor General Man ager Dwight have been killed as was stated.

I am going to work again in the morning.
 The patrol just went by. It sure looks good to me. Everything was looking pretty rocky for awhile.
 The Mexicans secured quite a few
