NINETEEN INDIANS KILLED
Mexican Troops Fight Engagement
With Reds.

City of Mexico, July 27.-Nineteen
Indians and two soldiers were killed
and five soldiers were wounded in a
bloody battle between the Mexican
troops and the Papago Indians, which
was fought at the Imaculada ranch,
near Cetrocolo, a mining camp in the
Altar district of Sonora.
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 fed to the
mountains both times.
The present expedition, under Cap
tain Baron, with sixty soldiers, sur.
prised an Indian village. The soldiers
found no one in camp but two boys,
as the remainder of the population
were gathering 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
ever, soon halted and opened fire, kill
ing nineteen of the hostiles and
wounding MANY. The Indians fed
taking their wounded with them.

MAY APPEAL OIL CASE.
Government Hopes to Upset Decision
of Court of Appeals.

Chicago, July 27.-President Roose-
velt's statement on the Standard OIL
decision had the effect of a galvanic
battery on the governments legal
forces in Chicago. District Attorney
Sims and his assistants are straining
every nerve to regain the 29,24O,OOO
fine which slipped through their fin
gers in the decision of the court of
appeals.
The government prosecutor realizes
that to go to trial again would, even
in the event of a conviction, mean a
much smaller fine. He therefore bases
his hopes on the theory of Attorney
General Bonaparte that the issues
may be presented to the United States
supreme court through application for
a writ of certiorari.
The course of action as now mapped
out by the government Is understood
to include an application by the attor-
ney general for a writ of certiorari
and a petition for a rehearing before
the United States court of appeals.
Mr.. Sims and his aides, James II.
Wilkerson and Harry A. Parkin, were
in telegraphic communication on this
subject with Mr.. Bonaparte, The 10.

tice probably will devote its attention

ACCUSED OF THEFT
OF $4,000 POUCH
Negro in Custody Of POstOttiCe
Authorities.

Kansas City, July 27.-Charles Saw
age. a negro, was arrested here by
postoffice authorities charged with
stealing a mail pouch in the Kansas
City Union station on June last con.
tanning $4,000, being sent from Los
Angeles to a New York city bank.
The inspectors assert that they have
positive evidence against Savage and
declare their bolief that he has buried
the money, intending TO recover II
after his release from prison.
Savage was taken into custody a
few hours after he returned to the
city. lie had since The robbery Wis
tied several Western cities, including
Denver. In his pocket the inspectors
found a clipping from a Denver news
paper giving the calculations OF a
robber who had stolen a large sum
of money and buried it. The man
had been sent to the penitentiary for
a number of years and in the story he
figured it out that by serving a GER
tain number of years he would upon
his release have earned 100000 a
year Upon this the inspectors base
their belief that Savage has concealed
the stolen money pending the time he
was given his freedom.
A few days following the Kansas
City robbery Savage was arrested by
the local police. He paid a lawyer
5000 to defend him and he was re-
leased, the judge holding that there
was not sufficient evidence on which
to hold the man. Savage Immediately
left the city and since then evidently
has travelled extensively. The post
office inspectors had information that
Savage would return here and when
he appeared at a negro lodging house
they arrested him. Savage surren
dered without a struggle and was
taken to the po5tofice building
There he was put under severe eX
animation. Aside from admitting thai

CONFERENCE IS
HELD AT CHICAGO
Hitchcock Meets Republican
Leaders Of Middle West.

Chicago, July 27.-The second con-
ference between Frank II. Hitchcock,
chairman of the Republican national
committee. and various state Repub-
lican leaders was held at the Audi
torium Annex. The states represent
ed at this meeting were Illinois, Indi-
ana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Min
nesota, Missouri and Wisconsin. The
national committeeman from Illinois,
Minnesota. Indiana and Michigan We're
unable TO come at this time because e
of the short notice given them of the
meeting. 1t is expected that as re-
suit another general conference will
be held here soon after the headquar-
ters are opened on Aug. Is. The mem
bers of the national committee in at
tendance at the conference were
Messrs. r. r. Hart, Iowa; A. r. Burn
ham, Kentucky; Charles Nagel, Mis-
souri,, and Alfred T. Rogers, Wiscon-
sin. All of the state chairmen and
most of the state secretaries invited
were present. Instructions were given
for the preparation of a poll of voters
OF each state, giving necessary data
as to the nativity, religion, politics
and other important facts in relation
to every man. The system to be fol-
lowed in gathering this information
was adopted at the Colorado Springs
conference and is based upon a
method that has been employed for
several years in Nebraska by William
Hayward, chairman of the Republican
state committee. Mr.. Hitchcock places
great dependence upon this character
of information At the conference Mr.
Hitchcock submitted to his political
colleagues the list of the new execu
tive committee SO far as 1t has been
made up, but no time has been fixed
to announce the appointments.

and Messrs. Wade and Ryan were in
clined to the opinion that they did not
measure up with the demand made
by the candidate, although both were
willing to give their services to Mr..
Bryan in any capacity he desired.
Mr.. Wade suggested Mr.. Mack, also
a member of the subcommittee, and
it was generally believed that he did
so at the suggestion of Mr.. Bryan.
The Nebraskan fell in with the sug-
gestion and in spite of the fact that
Mr.. Mack disclaimed any desire for
the honor and declared that there are
many others especially fitted for the
management of the campaign Mr..
Bryan urged the appointment upon
Mr.. Mack The Democratic presiden-
tial candidate spoke of Mr.. Mack's
wide acquaintance and the fact that
in business ability and political ex-
perience he measured up to all of the
requirements of an efficient campaign
manager.
