Married in Sioux Falls.

A wedding of much interest to Sioux
Falls people this week was that of Miss
Mary Katherine Byrne, of this place
and William Augustine Kennedy Of
Armstrong, Iowa. Promptly at nine
o'clock wedding bells chimed and the
bridal party entered st, Michael's Pro-
Cathedral and slowly marched up the
aisle to the strains of Mendelssohn' 8
wedding march played by Walter Howe
Jones. First came the maid of honor,
Miss Rose Byrne sister of the bride
and the groom. Following them was
the bridesmaid Miss Myrtle Collins with
the best man, Ray Flemming of Ethan.
South Dakota. Lastly came the lovely
bride on the arm of her father. who
gave her away at the altar. Rev.
Nolan read the impressive ceremony
which united the lives of these two
estimable young people in the presence
of large number of friends. A CO
incidence of the wedding was that the
brides parents were married at the
same altar railing as was their daugh-
ter and on the same day of the week.
Immediately after the ceremony. the
bridal party went to the home of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. James
Byrne, 635 North Dakota avenue. where
a three course wedding breakfast was
served to the relatives and immediate
friends, among them being Revs. Nolar
and Salmon. The Byrne home wa!
prettily decorated with cut flowers
potted plants and smilax.
The bride never looked more girlisl
and sweet than on this, her wedding
morn. She was becomingly attired il
handsome gown of white silk lansdowl

Debsuch Has Tragic End.

Charged with shooting and prob ably fatally wounding Andrea Her. nandez in house near the arroyo between Fifth and Sixth streets early this morning, Pedro Flores was arrested and is now held in the city jail. Flores admitted the shooting but claimed that his pistol, which is of 45 caiiber, was accident ally discharged. His story, how ever, fails to jibe with what the of ticers have discovered, for they found that three chambers of the pistol were empty and that three shots were fired, Two of the shots went wild, but the third shot struck the woman in the breast and in- hicted what Is believed to be fa- tai wound. Flores was arrested at the house an hour after the shoot ing by Night Jailor Mills, who also brought in Jose Lopez, Jesus Aca- veda and Alcadio Reyes as eye witnesses to the shooting. All are being held without bond in the city jail, pending preliminary hearing. It was difficult to learn details of the shooting. It is be- leved, however, that Flores, drunk and jealous of the woman, after a nights carousing, pulled his six shooter and deliberately fired at her.-Citizen.

reported in various parts of the Hermosillo, Guaymas and Ures districts. At Hermosillo, Wcdnes- day, TIE OASIS editor was told by gentleman who is known we'll as one of the leading business men of the place, that he had authentic information that train had been fired upon somewhere along the railway east from Empalme, and a man who was riding in the car was killed and a number of outrages, perpetratcd within two months, might be listed.
 But the alarming part of the whole business is the extension of the field of depreciation into regions that were free formerly from visits by the hostiles. It is rendering dangerous parts of Sonora that were considered safe heretofore, paralyzing business where it was not affected before-as at La Bufa.

Horse Thieves Captured.

Sheriff Hayman left last night for Kingman to get two men who are being held there on suspicion of being the parties who broke into a pasture at the Chrsty ranch northeast of the city, on the night of December 26th, and stole three horses. The sheriff received message in the evening from Sher- if Brown of Mohave county, who said that he was holding two men who came into that region with three horses which answered the description of the ones stolen.
 Several days ago J. T. Wallace, who lives at Planet, traded horses with the two men now in GUS tody. Going to Kingman a day or two later, he happened to zee one of the circulars sent out by Sheriff Hayden. He gave informa- tion which caused a search to be set on foot, resulting in the cap. ture of the two men yesterday. One of them is quite young, and gave his name as Joe Davis.-Re- publican.

Board of Trade.

The regular meeting of the Board of Trade was held Tuesday evening at the board rooms, but owing to absence from town of number of the directors, the meeting was small one.
 The secretary was instructed to write Mir. Hill of the Reclamation Service relative to setting a definite date for a visit of inspection by him to Nogales for the purpose of seeing the ground covered by the proposed irrigation project. The Board of Trade intends to keep right after this matter of interest ing the Government in this Santa Cruz project, and while all big things take time, there is little doubt that the thing can be accom- plished. It is hoped that Mir. Hill may be able to come over from Phoenix and go carefully over the ground in order that he may be in a position to intelligently recom- mend action looking toward an appropriation for irrigation works when the time becomes ripe for action.

AN EXPERT OPINION.

Mir. F. II. Todd, of Arizona, an eminent irrigation engineer, who spent considerable time in an ex- animation of the Yaqui Delta, says of it: "The character of the soil is one of great fertility, and will grow all of the semi tropical fruits and grasses, and, 1 would judge, nearly all the tropical fruits. With such a system of irrigation as is now in the southwestern part of the United States, the crops which could be produced would be simply enormous. The soil is not only very rich, but is of almost unknown depth, being in some places more than sixty feet deep. The tract of land, for uniformity of soil and general character of the surface for so large an area, is equaled by few, if any, tracts of land on the conti- nent. The climate is fine. in win ter very rarely any frost, and in summer not as warm as the south western part of the United States. The air is very dry, thus enabling fruits to be cured with no loss, and without the aid of artificial heat. The water is there in suffici- ent quantities at the time when needed to irrigate the land. There is large body of land. of a quality capable of producing nearly any kind of crop. The climate is such that no loss of crop need ever be had. All that is needed is to apply the water, and put in and take care of the crop. Nature has done the rest.

More Artesian Wells.

F. J. Hancock struck fine flow of artesian water at a depth of about $40 feet on the Currents place, a mile across the river. Mir. Curren stated yesterday that the well was flowing between 35 and 40 gallons per minute. In the evening the Benson Press reporter met Mir. Hancock, who stated that just before striking the big flow they passed through a very hard strata. A fairly good flow had been developed thirty or forty feet higher up, but when the drill broke
The oasis., 1908-01-25

through the hard shell a much heavier gush of water occurred. His contract was for 600 feet or until called off by Mir. Curren. As the latter inspected the big flow without giving orders to stop, the drilling was continued and soon struck a very soft formation, whereupon the pressure was much reduced. Mir. Hancock was then instructed to cease drilling in that we'll and start another about 100 yards away, and using his own judgment when to stop. He says Curren has a very rich tract of land and hopes to make a famous gusher of the next well.-Benson Press.

PARTICULARS OF MARK PERKINS,
 KILLING.

Last week TIE OASIS gave space to a clipping from a daily news paper which was press telegram from Visalia, California dated the 18th inst, that stated the parents of Mark Perkins had received a telegram conveying the sad intel ligence of the death of their son at the hands of Yaquis, but present. ing uo further particulars.
 This week TIE OASIS has seen a couple of letters from La Bufa, dated the 9th, from which there have been gathered the following details. As stated in these columns In commenting upon the telegram published last week, Perkins had gone up from Los Hornos, at the headgate of the Richardson canal, to the vicinity of La Bufa, to at tend some business matters. It was to Conception that he vent a mining camp but few miles from LaBufa where he had interests. He was returning from Conception to Los Hornos via Nuri, on the Rio Chico, and Tezopaco, on the Rio Cedros-a route away to the east of the Yaqui river, and until recently outside of the range of Yaqui depredations. Perkins was travelling in conmodious mountain wagon, and with him in the vehicle rode four women, two children and the driver, and they were accom- panied by two outriders, mounted, one riding a little ahead and the other little behind. At point called Los Metales, near Mutica, between Tezopaco, on the Rio Ce- dros, and Los Hornos, on the Ya- qui river, the party was ambushed by band of Yaquis, and all killed except the rear outrider. who es- caped with a slight wound. Ac- cording to the report of the man who escaped it was all done with single volIey, and the entire nine victims laid cold in death without firing another shot. The deadliness of their aim was demonstrated by six bullets in the body of the driver and three in the person of Mir. Perkins.
 The man who escaped returned to Mutica, reported the ambush and a party went out to the scene of the massacre, where the unfor- tunate victims were buried.
 As stated by TIE OASIS last week, Mr. Perkins had been in Sonora a numbers of years, was known widely and well liked. He owned valuable mining interests at LaCon. cepcion, and had been employed at La Bufa. During some two or three years past he had been em. ployed at Los Hornos, at the head of the Yaqui delta.

EXTENDING FIELD
 OF DEPRECIATION
The Yaquis Terrorizing New Regions
 by their Murderous Excursions.

During many years the field of Taqui depreciation in Sonora -eemed confined to two or three districts - Guaymas, Hermosillo md Ures; but during the past two years they have been making hostile excursions outside of he regions they infested, and com. hitting depredations where least expected.
 About the first outrage com mitted beyond the usual range of depreciation was in 1906 when marauding band killed the Blanco family at La Junta ranch, at the junction of the Moctezuma river with the Tepachi arroyo, in the Moctezuma district, and mutilated a man they caught on the road between Tepachi and Lampazos, several miles eastward from Ia Junta. Since that time, while just as active as ever in the Guaymas, Hermosillo and Ures districts, their range of operations has ex- tended eastward and northward into parts of the Alamos, Sahuari- pa, Moctezuma, Arizpe and Mag dalena districts.
 The recent killing of sixteen at the Dolores ranche, on the Dolores river, was in the Mazda lena district, at point not more than fifty miles south of the inter- national line, and but sixty or seyenty miles from Nogales by the circuitous route one would travel going in that direction. The recent killing of Mark Perkins and party of eight others, which is des- crlbed elsewhere, occurred in the AIamos district, away eastward from. the Yaqui river, and more than 250 miles distant from the scene of the Dolores massacre. The Perkins massacre occurred about a month later than that at Dolores; but at about the same time as the latter the correspondent of TIE OASIS sent from Alamos an account of another killing near Fl Cobre, Tn the Alamos district, not far from the scene of the ambush of Mark Perkins and party.
 Letters from La Bufa and Toledo (the latter place on the west side ot the Gaqui river, nearly directly eastward from Hermosillo), that have been shown TIE OASIS this week, state that on the eighteenth ot December party of five people was killed at point about eighteen miles eastward from Toledo, toward La Bufa; and that at about the same time a family had been killed at the Mesquite ranche, which is put twelve miles from La Bufa and about fifty miles east of the 1aqul river. So terrorized have become the people in that vicinity that travel is suspended almost entirely, and men cannot be in- ouced to go out into the timber to cut wood necessary to conduct operations at the mines. For that very reason the smelter at La Bufa mas had to shut down.
 Meanwhile there is just as much uevilment going on in the regions winch have been harried so long ny The 4aquis heretofore. Every lew days there ore donrodot;o-
