erty and shamefully maltreating her,
Pat Sandolph, a young "Squaw man"
of Niobrara is alleged to have cruelty
deserted and left to the care of stran

dolph bequeathed her remaining prop
erty to her mother, leaving Sandolph
only enough to make her will hold
good in law.
Sandolph is now in jail at Center

surrectos fired into the ranks of the
federals, who were steadily replying
at the time carriers left to bring the
news to Gen. Victoriano Heuratas'
headquarters here.

ports of battle in Yautepec between
the disgruntled revolutionists and the
federal forces. Neither De La Barra
nor Madero cared to discuss the clash,
but it is known that the president as.
sured Madero the government would
insist on the unconditional surrender
of Zapata and his men and Gen. Hue
rita would be expected to carry ont his
instructions.
The president praised Madero fol
his determined efforts to avoid more
bloodshed, but made it plain that the
dealings of the leader of the late sue
cessful revolution were those of pri-
vate citizen. AS such, Madero declar-
ed he would not cease trying to effect
a peaceful solution. He arrived here
in an automobile from Cuernavaca to
confer with De La Barra, inst Fad of
going to Cuatla to interview Zapata
as was his first intention. Following
his talk the president said he would
leave here today to interview the re-
'belliOus leader.
