Mexican Killed in Deer Creek Country

Charles Yarbrough, on the evening
of the 9Th instant, at his ranch near
the line of Old Mexico in the Deer
creek country, was attacked by a
strange Mexican at the door of his
cabin. When asked by Yarbrough
what he wanted, he said money
and at the same time, being armed
with a Mexican army gun and big
Bowie knife, he,'made for Yarbrough.
Being within only a few feet of the
door of YarbrOugh's cabin, Yarbrough
saw his only chance was to stop him,
and he grabbed the Mexican's gun.
The Mexican started to draw his
Bowie knife, but before he pulled it
out, though he was just in the act of
doing so, Yarbrough shot him. He fell
just outside the door, knife in hand,
dead. The news was brought to Ha-
chita and Deputy Sheriff Mozart pro.
ceeded to the scene of trouble to
make an investigation. From all re.
ports received Yarbrough seems to
have been right.

Official Story of DOwning's Death.

The report of Capt. Harry Wheeler
the killing of William F. Downing at
Wilcox by Ranger William Speed, on
August I, was received at the office of
the governor. The report includes
the testimony taken at the coroner's
inquest on which was based the find
ing of the jury generating Speed.
Though the inquest disclosed that
Downing was not armed at the time
of the killing, Speed and everybody
else who saw him believed he was and
they had good reason TO believe so.
The night before in a conversation
with Constable Snow, Downing told
that he would kill Speed if he tried
to arrest him and that he would kill

1t was also brought out that there
would have been no killing of Down
ing had he not been drunk. He knew
that a warrant for his arrest had been
issued on the complaint of d woman
whom he had assaulted and a few
minutes before the shooting, when he
was about to go out on the streets,
having seen Ranger Speed and Con-
stable Snow looking for him, he pick
ed up his revolver. A friend remon-
strated with him and told him not to
be a fool, but to submit to arrest like
man and pay his fine.
He said he would do so and started
out. In moment he was accOsted by
Speed who told him to throw up his
hands. He did so and advanced to-
ward the ranger. When within
short distance of him he dropped his
hands and with his left began feeling
for his hip pocket. The ranger again
ordered him to elevate his hands, but

Road Systems for National Forests Are
BEING Planned

The Office of public roads of the de-
partment of agriculture is to cooper
ate with the forest service in drawing
up plans for comprehensive systems
of roads and trails on national for
ests.
For the two last years congress has
provided funds for permanent i'm
provements on national forests, and
large part of the money thus made
available has been and is being used for
road and trail building. The amour
is too small, however, in comparison
with the total area of the forests, to
make possible more than a very small
beginning. With thicker settlement
and increasing use of the forests good
roads will become more and more a
crying necessity.
The object of securing the help of
the office of good roads is to make
the work take the line that will not
merely serve temporary convenience ,
but also count for most in the end.
BY building each year with reference
to carefully worked-out plan the
danger of misdirected effort will be
escaped.
During the present summer an en-
gineer of the office of roads will go
over the ground on several of the for
ests and draw up plans which will be
submitted to the forester, and will
serve to guide subsequent work.
Where the roads planned cannot be
built, trails will, so far as possible,
be made to follow the courses laid out,
with the expectation that later they
will be converted into roads.
The roads, trails, telephone lines
and fire lines already constructed on
national forests are proving of great
value both in the work of fire protec-
ton and in serving the convenience
of the public. The further this work
can be carried the greater will be the
usefulness of the forests to the sur
rounding regions.

a joyful, happy soul, whose presence
shed light and sunshine on all around
her. She was a devout Christian and
lover of her church. She was fond OF
good literature and devoted much time
to reading good books. Her assistance
as nurse and companion for the sick OF

bestowed with kindness and sympathy.
