HOAYED THE TENDERFOOT
Nothing in the Story of Murder Of
Horsemen in New Mexieo-Fake
Battle in the Night.

FL Paso, Tex, July ia tender
foot" frightened almost into insensibil-
fty by the lurid tales Of bloodthirsty
Indian and Mexican bandits, and a sud
den midnight fake attack on the camp,
was responsible yesterday for the
spreading broadcast Of a tale Of whole
sale murder of horsemen near Alton.
n. NJ, by a band of Indian or Next
can bandits.
The ''tenderfOot's" yarn was investi-
gated early today by officers who had
hurried to the scene of the reported
slaughter and found to be nothing but
hoax
According to the story told by E.
w. Scott, who had just Joined a party
driving horses overland, the camp was
attacked last night by the outlaws and
every man except himself killed. Scott
said he feigned death until the out
laws had departed, then ne ran a mile
and a half in his stocking feet to AZ
ton to spread the lurid news of the
massacre
It develops that the hOrsemen played
upon Scott's ignorance of the horse
man and his ways, and put in all day
Sunday relating tales of theft and muir
der by Indians and Mexicans. When
Scott retired he was badly scared. Aft
er every one had retired, firing and
shouting suddenly started from sever
al points around the camp, and Scott,
half clad, made record time to Alton
with his tale of murder.

BIG RUSH TO WHITE HOUSE
President Taft Urged to Take a Hand
in the Tariff Fight-Mondell
One Of the Callers.
Especial to The HeraIdD

Washington, D c., July 12.-Represen-
tative Mondell today introduced a bill
apprOpTiating $4,000 for the purchase Of
d site and erecting of a pOstOffiCe build
ing at Newcastle, Wyo., his home city.
Mr.. MOndel had an interview today with
President Taft regarding the tariff on
coal. He told the president ne hoped the
house COnfeTees would Tecede from the
house provision providing for reciprocity
with Canada on coal. If this provision
should become a law, he said. and Can
ada should admit American coal free and
thus secure admittance into the United
States of Canadian coal free OF duty the
result would be disastrous to the Wyo-
ming, Colorado and Utah coal mining in
dustry. Strong pressure has been brought
upon the president by LaFOllette and
others to have him support the reciprocity
idea in regard to coal and to support the
free hide proposition Of the house, and
western Representatives are apprehensive
that the president is not inclined TO stand
firm for the senate bill rates on these es-
seutially western products.
A delegation representing the free hide
league of the United States called upon
the president today and added their re-
quest to those of other citizens who have
been urging the president to take hand
in the hide schedule fight and use his in
fluence to have hides put on the free list.

IRRIGATION IN IDAHO.
Government to Use Canals and Later

Especial to The Herald.)

Washington, D. c., July 12-The secre-
tary of the interior has approved the con
tract with the NamDa- Meridian irrigation
district and Payette-Boise Water Users
association. which provides for use by the
government of the canals and laterals Of
the Nampa- Meridian irrigation district in
reclamation Of certain lands belonging to
the Payette-BOise project, Idaho, and for
adjustment Of expenses of operation and
maintenance of canals and laterais be-
tween the respective parties. The United
States is given the right to enlarge or eX-
tend existing canals or lateTals of the
Reconsideration irrigation district, title
to all engagements or extensions to vest
in the United States. The lands involved
consist of about $1,000 acres lying within
the boundaries of the above named iTriga-
ton districts and below their canal. 1t
was deemed lnadvisable for the United
States to construct new canals and later
ais to irrigate these lands when the work
could be done more cheaply by utilizing
the canals and latersls Of the district.

Immediately after the collision a line
was thrown from the deck of the Scott
to the forward deck Of the COwle and
three members of the crew escaped to
the deck of the up-bOund boat by this
means.
The rest of the crew who were saved
jumped from the sinking steamer into
the lake, some without life preservers,
and were picked up by the Scott and
the steamer Goodyear, which was a
short distance astern of the Scott when
the collision occurred.
Captain Rogers of the Cowle was one
of those who were rescued by the Good
year. Until Captain Rogers returns
here, it is impossible to secure the
names Of the men who persisted with
the Cowle. Survivors say that they in
clude both engineers, the four firemen,
four deckhands, the second cook, porter
and an Oiier named Patten.
The John B. COwle was AS feet long,

ogden, July 12.-Utah Hot springs,

touch of real wild west life tonight when
three young desperadoes with handker-
chiefs over their faces entered the office
and in the midst Of a regular fusilllde
of pistol shots held UP and robbed ali in

shot through the right arm above the ell

was one of those in the Office whom tile
highWaymen entered and threw up bis
hands when ordered to do so. He vas
still holding up his hands when one Of
the thieves shot him through the arm.
He was then compelled TO stand with
the other hand in the air while the rob-
berry was being completed, although he
was in danger of bleeding to death rom
his wound. He tainted in the arms Ct
the bystandeTs when the thieves were
gone. He was taken to his room and DR..
Edward L Rich made a record run from

Bullets Fly Fast,

At the time the highwaymen entered
the place there were present, in addition
to Mr.. Barnett, Frank Daily, c. Z. Oh
son, postmaster; Clerk L. A. LOofDJT-
row, Carl Nelson, oregon Short Line
station agent, and Albert Spaulding.
These men all threw UP their hands
ton of Mr.. Daily. He made a dash
from the room, and with bullets flying
around his ears, escaped through a win
dow. He ran to the barTOOm, got posses
sion of the cash-about S60-and hid it.
Loofborrow was shot at twice, one Ct
the bullets passing through a large plate
glass window in the t~Ont of the office.
He became tired Of standing with his
hands up so long and undertook 20
change his position. A bullet flying past
his ear gave him to understand that
this would not be permitted.
A G. SChilling, a passenger conductor
on the Union Pacific, whose home is at
Cheyenne, heard the firing from an
other room and started for the Office.
He reached the door when a bullet
crashed into the wall within a few
inches of his face. He lodged into a
room and escaped.
J. c. Crawford and Frank Paine met
with a similar experience. They were
running down the hall to the Office when
they were greeted with a shower of bull
lets and broke for shelter. About four
teen shots were fired. Some Of these
flew into the pool room, missing those in
the plunge by a small margin. The first
shot fired stopped the clock at 1920.
