San Francisco, March 22.-With

the water steal will be the next mat
ter gone into.
Ex-Mayor Phelan is expected to give
important testimony in the water deal,
whereby 1t was phoposed to buy the
system of the Bay City company for
s10,4O0,0O0, despite the opportunity
for the city to secure healthy sys-
tenn, which is claimed to be far super
ior and for a far less sum. Partic-
ular stress will be placed upon the
fact that the opposition's board of
experts appointed by the supervisors
entirely ignored the latter and the
purchase of Bay City system was de-
clared upon.

ant task, and If nothing develops that

ton, the inquisitorial body, when 1t

Considerable attention will be paid
today to Nellie Smith, the stubborn
stenographer for the attorneys of the

fusal to tell what she knows about

the way of securing indictments

graphic story of massacre OF Mexi-
cans and Americans, which occurred
at the little town of Lancho, on the
Cananea, Yaqui River and Paclnc
Railroad late Saturday afternoon. !,
According to the statement OF
Maxson, his train stopped an hour at
Lancho. While there rumors were
received that the Yaquis were upon
the warpath and that the few peo-
pie in the neighborhood of the rail-
road were in danger. The station
master, man named Thompson, be-
Titled the matter, and said he and
his wife would remain at their post.
The train bearing Colonel Maxson
and party had not left the station
for more than an hour when the
Yaquis descended on the little p2fo9,
of Mexicans and Americans and
murdered four of them.
Station Agent Thompson and his
wife defended themselves behind the
barricaded doors of the station until
work train appeared, when the In
dams withdrew.
The train bearing Colonel Maxson
and party continued to station
about 10 miles farther along the line
and then, as the signs of the uprls-
ing became more alarming, the party
decided to return. The train start
ed back toward Lancho, and when
it arrived the station-house had been
burned and demolished and four hui
man bodies lay along the track.
The party stopped few minutes
in the hope that the survivors might
be found and taken to a place of
safety. While the train was at the
ruins of the station the Yaquis ap-
peard in the distance, but did not
come within range of the few armed
people on the train.
Not many miles along the road
the scene was duplicated. Four more
dead bodies of Mexicans and Ameri-
cans were discovered along the
tracks. The little band at this sta
ton had been able to repulse the at
tack of the Yaquis with the loss of
but four of their number The re-
naming members of the company
refused to leave on the train, but
said they could stand off the Indians
until the next day, when the rurales
would raech the spot and summary
justice would be melted out to the
murderers if captured.

He was much improved by the rest,

The Impact Terrific.
An earlier train, which had been
dispatched to Terra Gotta, brought
the injured whose wounds had been
hastily dressed, and they were sent
around to the various hospitals.
Three died on the way to the city
and one death occurred in one OF the
hospitals. :,
The engine of the rear train is said
to be one of the largest and latest
type of passenger engines used on the
road, The fact of its size probably
saved it from total destruction as
the principal damage to it was cou-
fined to the front of the engine,
and because of this Harry Hide
brand and his fireman escaped with
their lives. Hildebrand is said to
have been a substitute. He was
later arrested, together with his fire.
man. No formal charge has been
placed against them, but they will be
held pending an investigation.
The wrecked train was composed
of an engine, a smoker and two day
coaches. The two rear coaches were
reduced to kindling wood and the
rear of the smoker was teleScoped.
So great was the impact that the
local train was scattered along the
track for considerable distance.
Like An Explosion.
Thaddeus T. Rodey, laborer at
the Terra Totta Works, was one OF
the first not on the train who became
aware of the accident. His place OF
occupation is not more than 100 feet
from the railroad track, and at the
time of the wreck he said he heard
a loud noise which sounded like an
explosion. He ran out to the track
and saw two women, one OF whom
was alive, and whom he assisted to
her feet. 1t was only a moment.
he said, before he saw many other
bodies stretched along the track. He
Immediately communicated the fact
by telephone to the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad in Washington.
Traffic was delayed by the accident
and it was after midnight before the
bodies of the dead could be brought
to the city.
There was an entire absence of any
attempts at ghoulish deeds. AS soon
as possible the bodies were covered
and laid aside to await the coming
of the train sent from the city to
bring them here. Many pathetic
scenes were enacted in the vicini :,
of the wreck and relatives searcfie
amid the fog and darkness for Ie
bodies of their loved ones whom tfel
feared were in the wreck.
Killed Outright.
From the appearance of the bodies
it is believed that nearly all the vic
Tins were killed outright or died
within few minutes after the acct
dent. OF the dead bodies some were
buried beneath the debris, with the
result that thy were reached with
difficulty and it was sometime before
they could be laid out on the bank.
DIR. F. G. Belt, one of the most
prominent physicians of Washington,
and his sons, Edwin, seven years old,
and Sinclair, five years OLD, were pas
sengers on the train. Edwin was
killed and the father and other son
are missing, and it is fec red by their
friends that they are among the list
of unidentified dead at the morgue.
