chief. Bula, was received here today.
Rula. at the head of the Yaquis, kept
the state of Sonora In an uproar for

people and destroying thousands or
dollars worth of property. The faquls
looked upon him as 81 god and opeySu
him implicitly, SO when, after peace
was declared, he decided 10 take setN-
ice with the government, ne had no
trouble in enissttng MS trlpesnleh 'o

Up TO the present they have been
fighting Loyalty against the revolution,
and to them is due the honor or re-
taking the town Of S~ahuaripa, from the
rebels. Bula was killed at ia 81 Pc
redes, while escorting ammunition 10

Women Refugees Pour In.
Out of the wilderness. over 260 miles
of dynamited railroad track, bare
footed and in rags, "a Mexican Wom-
en-, wives and s~weethearts of soldiers
of the Twentieth and Twenty-third
infantries. arrived in Juarez today,
pushing a small handcar loaded with
greasy pots, broker furniture and rags.
It was merely another evidence OF the
dog-like fidelity Of the women camp
followers Of the Mexican army
The motley crew, among whom were
several children, dogs and cats, hur-
RED 81 once to J. garrison, where
their loved ones dwell. The women had
been left behind in Chihuahua when
the two battalions were sent to the
border. They could not wait for the re-
turn of the soldiers and so decided to
walk overland through the wasted
country. In true military fashion,
squads OF strong women took turns in
pushing the car. and with the strength
OF Amazons lifted it over burned
bridges and wrecked track. Food was
secured at section houses and settle
ments along the route. They were on
the hot road q days.
These women may be lacking in
many OF the womanly qualities; they
may be dirty and unkempt, their
beauty married and their grace
shrouded in rags, but they are not of
the kin who do not care.
Organizing Rough Riders.
Rough riders are being organized to
participate in the Mexican rebellion,
but il is not even hoped that Teddy
can be secured to lead them. Ike
Frazer, a Texas cowboy, who was with
Madero at asa Grandes, has just
crossed into Mexico from New Mex
leo, where he has been for 10 days. He
has recruited 70 New Mexico cowboys
and is now with them in Mexico at
the Ohetus ranch, 100 miles west Of
Juarez. All of the cowboys are we'll
armed, have plenty OF ammunition inc
each has his own horse.

Rebel Joan of Arc.
A Spanish boy, Francisco Gonzales,
tells a dramatic story of a veritable
Joan of Arc at the battle of Casas
Grandes. At first there were two wom-
Ell In the fight. but one of them was
killed soon after the battle began. The
other fought like mad, cheering and
encouraging the Madero forces by Der
bravery. (El impartial of Mexico Clsy
confirms this.(
Gonzales had a lifelong friend wtO
was fatally wounded in this battle. All
Gonzales could do for his comrade was
to hold his head while his life blood
oozed out, and promise to send a mes
sag to his mother. Finally the fight
ing senorita offered to care for the
wounded boy. A few minutes later he
breathed his last. Gonzales found hin
self without cartridges. The Spanish
Joan of Arc started for another group
of insurrectos, but they were sur
rounded.
The last Gonzales saw of the femi-
nine Maderista was when she was be-
ing dragged away to the Casas
Grandes Jail, 6ercely fighting all the
way, telling the Diaz soldiers that she
had already killed a lot of them and
vowing that before she died she would
kill many more. The woman is said
to be Mrs. Petrocenia Vasquez.
