KILLED NINETEEN INDIANS.
Mexican Troops and Papagos in Bat
tle-Two Soldiers Killed.

Tucson, Ariz., July 26.-In desper-
ate battle between Mexican troops
and Papago Indians last Tuesday at
the Immaculate ranch near Cetro Colo
mining camp in the Altar district OF
Sonora 10 Indians and two soldiers
were killed and five soldiers were
wounded.
The encounter resulted from an at
tempt to return the Indians to their
reservation. The Papagos are usually
peaceful, but many complaints of dep
relations upon ranches by this band
caused the government on two previ-
GUS occasions to send troops to sub
due them. The Indians fled to the
mountains both times.
The present expedition under Capt.
Baron, with 60 soldiers, surprised an
Indian village. The soldiers found no
one in camp but two boys, as the
balance of the population were gath
ering cactus fruit in the hills. The
soldiers set fire to the houses and
the Indians rushed to the rescue OF
their homes.
Seeing the troops they took refuge
behind nearby rocks and opened fire
Baron ordered the bugler to sound
the retreat. The troops retired and
the Indians pursued, thinking they had
routed the soldiers. The latter, how
soon halted and opened fire, killing
10 of the hostiles and wounding many
The Indians fled, taking their
wounded with them. Among the
killed are Chief Dolores and his son.
These two are said to have been the
chief trouble makers. The wounded
soldiers were taken to Hermosillo-
The scene of the encounter is near
the international line. about 80 miles
from Santa Ana station on the Sonora
railroad. This is the first encounter
between the Papagos and troops

DESPERADOES RUN AMUCK
ELEVEN PERSONS SHOT DOWN IN
BOSTON SUBURB.
Men Are Believed to Be Two of the
Gang Engaged in Tues
days Holdup.

Boston, July 24.-Eleven persons
were shot Wednesday night, three of
them probably fatally, by two des-
peradoes who, on being pursued by
policemen and a crowd Of citizens, fed
for two miles through thickly set
tied district of Jamaica Plain firing
madly right and left, and disappeared
in the woods near Franklin park.
The men are believed to be two of
the gang of three who robbed saloon
in Jamaica Plain Tuesday night after
shooting and killing one man and
wounding two others.
Mrs. Della Fallon is one of the most
seriously injured of Wednesdays vic
tins. She was standing in front Of
her home with her baby in her arms
when the two men, pursued by a
crowd, came down the street. AS they
passed her one of them fired and the
bullet entered her head behind the
right ear. She was removed to the
city hospital in a critical condition.
Hilbert f. Knox of Roslindale, night
Waterman at the Forest Hill cemetery,
and Edward Mcmahon, Dorchester
patrolman, each received bullet in
the abdomen.
1t is believed that the desperadoes
lay concealed in Calvary cemetery
Wednesday while the police were
hunting for them on account of Tues
day nights holdup and robbery.
Herbert F. KNOX of Roslindale, night
of the Forest Hill cemetery, who was
shot in the abdomen by one of the
desperadoes, died at the Emerson
hospital late Wednesday night. At
that time the condition of Patrolman
Mcmahon and Mrs. Fallon, two other
victims, was very critical, and 1t was
feared that they could not live through
the night.
The police surrounded Forest Hill
cemetery after learning that the flu
gitives had escaped from Franklin park,
Three hundred officers under the di-
rection of Superintendent William H.
Pierce were strung around the out
side of the cemetery, while 100 more
aided by calcium searchlights fur
nished by the fire department eX-
plored the interior. The officers were
confident that they had the men sur
rounded there.

FINISH FOR SALAD
HOW TO MAKE MAYONNAlSE OR
FRENCH DRESSING.
One Great Point Is to Have Every
thing CoId-To Prevent Its go
ing Back" Mix 1t Drop
by Drop.

Care IS necessary to make good
salad. Dressing must be thoroughly
mixed, icy cold and the ingredients OF
the salad itself should be daintily pre-
pared.
In making either mayonnaise or
French dressing have everything cold.
Chill the bowl with ice water and in
hot weather mix in larger bowl OF
cracked ice, or, If that be not convent
ent, at least sit in the cellar while
making mayonnaise; otherwise it will
be apt to curdle.
Always keep the eggs in the icebox
for at least an hour before making
dressing and see that they are so
carefully separated that not a particle
of the white remains.
Patience is the one secret of sue
cessful mayonnaise. If the drop-by-
drop principle is not rigidly adhered
to until the dressing takes on sub
stance that makes going back improb-
able, dire will be results.
Should the dressing curdle, begin
over again with fresh egg, mixing
in the curdled part after the new
dressing Is well stiffened.
In making a quantity of mayonnaise
it is better to thin with pieces of
cracked ice rather than with lemon
or vinegar, as, otherwise it may be too
acid
Even though the dressing looks all
right and has been set away for sew
eral hours in the refrigerator, be care
full not to stir it before putting on the
salad; otherwise you may be horrihed
to have 1t go back when just ready to
be served. This is not an infrequent
occurrence, but is usually caused by
too rapid mixing.
If too late to start over again with
the fresh egg, the only thing to do not
to delay the dinner is to hastily mix
a good French dressing, consoling
yourself that it is more healthful aft
err big dinner than the heavier may
Onnaise.
Rub bit of garlic or onion on the
salad bowl in making any dressing and
the flavor will be much improved.
A tablespoonful or two of rich cream
added just at the last to mayonnalse
makes It lighter and richer.

GO DIRECT TO HEAD
CINCINNATI SHIPPERS WANT THE
PRESIDENT TO ENFORCE DE-
CREE AGAINST RAILROADS.
They ASK ROOSEVELT TO ACT At ONCE
Charge That Missouri Pacific and
Rock island Are Overriding Courts
Decree in Increasing Freight Rates
Wants a Square Deal for Carriers
and Shippers.

Cincinnati, July 26.-Brushing aside
all intermediate processes and modes
of action the Receivers and Shippers
association of Cincinnati has carried
it's war against general increase in
railway freight rates directly to the
president of the United States. In
general effect a communication, for
warded to President Roosevelt last
Saturday at Oyster Bay and made
public here Friday, asks the chief ex-
ecutive whether or not he intends to
enforce a decree issued some years
ago against certain railroads. If so,
he is asked to at once cause the at
torney general to bring proceedings
for contempt against the Missouri Pa
cific railway and the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific railroad. Denying
that politics had anything to do with
the letter at this time, it is explained
that because of the fact that certain
general increases in freight rates are
to become effective August 10 by GER
tain reads, prompt and positive ac-
ton became necessary.
In conclusion the letter says;
This association stands for
square deal for the carriers. 1t be-
lieves that their property rights should
be protected the same as the prop
erty rights of individuals. But we
are unalterably opposed to any policy
of the carriers which has for its pur-
4
pose the ignoring of our courts and
the placing of themselves above the
laws of the land. If they expect the
protection of the laws and the courts
they must show a wholesome regard
for the law and respect the decree OF
the courts. If the Missouri Pacific and
Rock Island deliberately ignore this
solemn mandate of the court and con-
tinue in an unlawful manner to bur
den trade and commerce among the
states by continually increasing rates
the question arises: Is there no
mower in this land sufficiently strong
to reach railroad companies that reck-
lessly brush aside the DEGREES OF our
courts?
"This association believes you WILL
in carrying out your policy for the
strict enforcement of the law, see to
II that these two railroad companies
are required in the future to observe
this decree"

quantity of candied peel and one-quar-

II oven is not hot enough, mixture will
