allowed, they would call for ten times
the actual amount of water in the Peeos,
and the commissioners were unable to
arrive at a satisfactory conclusion, and
so reserved their decision.
The various officials of the service
assured Mr.. Tracy that they were in full
accord with the efforts OF the Carlsbad
association in combating all attempts TO
take the water rightfully belonging TO
them, and that the service intended to
take steps to further utilize all the
water which passes the intake Of the
Avalon dam.
This is taken to mean by the farmers
under the association that a third reser-
voir will be built. to store the flood
waters, which annually pass the project.

FIREMAN KILLED BY
INSURGENT BULLET
Train Is Stopped and Fired
Upon as It Comes North
From Pearson.

Fireman Francisco Ramirez. of the
Mexico North Western railroad, died in
the Juarez hospital Monday morning
from a bullet wound received Sunday.
IS kilometers south of Juarez, from an
insurrecto rifle.
The fireman was on board the first
North Western train TO come in from
Pearson in over two weeks Conductor
Smith and engineer Austin were in
charge Of the train, a freight. The
fireman was on the tender at work
when the affair occurred. The engi-
neer saw a lone man in the center Of
the track ahead, and, answering the
mans signal to stop. began to slow
down Suddenly vo1ley of bullets hit
the train, then insurrectos poured in
from behind all the sand hills in the
region Alanis was in command. He
said he thought here were federals on
the train. When he learned that the
fireman had been hure he expressed
sorrow.
The injured man was brought to
Juarez as soon as possible. There were
about 50 insurrectos in the party, the
trainmen- say. Nearer Juarez, at kilo-
meter 55, the trainmen saw 40 insur-
rectos, but were not molested.

FIGHTING REPORTED

Five Hundred Federals Sent
Out-Fghting Reported
Near .TI1aTeZ.

There was some fighting Sunday at
San Buena Ventura (El Valle) south
east Of Casas Grandes. Five hundred
federal soldiers of the 18th battalion.
stationed at Casas Grandes, were sent
to the place of the fighting Sunday
afternoon. The insurrectos were re-
ported to be in large numbers 1t was
believed to have been the command on
Jose de la Luz Blanco.
Since Sunday night there have been
persistent reports of heavy fighting
between Gen. Navarro's federal troops
and insurrectos east of Juarez near
the river, but the reports lack con-
firmation.
The first reports said that the fed
erals had been attacked by band OF
insurrectos commanded by Flores Ma
gon (former head of the revolutionary
party in the United States, when st.
Louis was the headquarters; later a
prisoner in the Arizona penitentiary
for violating the neutrality laws), and
that the federals had lost 80 killed ana
as many wounded.
Juarez officials claim to know roth-
ing of any fighting and no wounded
have been brought into the town
United States troops stationed at vs.
leta, which would be opposite the
point Of the reported fight, II miles
south Of Juarez say they have heard
no firing, and the officers stationed
at Fabens, report to Col. Sharpe
that the Navarro command spent

INSURRECTOS IN
AJOS MOUNTAINS
Men Sent Out From Cana
nea Report That They
Were Fired on.

Cananea, Mexico, Feb. '20.-Various
rumors are af1oat regarding the pres
ence of a body of revolutionists in the
Ajo mountains northeast of the city A
number of police sent out to the noun
tains reported (not to the Of
ficiaIs) that they had seen reb-
els in the mountains. Asked how many
men they actually saw, they reported
that they had seen seven, but according
to the number of shots they said were
fired at them, there must have been
a hundred.
One of the police also stated that the
socalled rebels did not shoot at them,
but had requested them to return to
Cananea and notify the federals that
they were there. The rebels are sup
posed to be in the Canyon del Mezquite,
one of the toughest canyons in the
Ajos. and it is almost certainty that
they are suffering from the intense
cold prevailing there at present-if
they are still there.
Another peculiar report from the men
who went to the Ajos was that one man
of their number was killed by the reb-
els. Another report says that there
were two killed and none wounded
The movement of soldiers to that
locality during the past few days seems
to point to the fact that the officials
are going to see for themselves if the
rebels are there.
The officials in Cananea state that
there has been nothing doing in the
Ajos as far as they know, which re-
flutes the reports of the police sent
there.
Whether or not there are insurrectos
in the Ajos will be found out in q
short time.
Some think that the rebels" we're
some of the men that were sent out
from Cananea to look for insurrectos.
1t is also said that these two parties
exchanged shots and that a rurale was
fatally wounded. However, the officials
claim that they know nothing about
the matter.
At present 200 soldiers are in the Ajo
mountains looking for the insurrectos.
A number of soldiers returned to
town Sunday for supplies which they
took out to the soldiers. Several pack
animals carried big loads of the pro-
visions.
It is generally believed that the
weather is too cold in, the mountains at
present for the insurrectos and hat
none will be found in that locality.
The people are nervous to a great
extent and every time a few men are
seen travelling through the hills, they
are 1T once suspected of being insur-
rectos.
There have been no disturbances of
an insurrectionary nature in Sonora

THE PLAIN TRUTH.

From Austin (Texas) Statesman.
On his arrival at Juarez, Col. CueIlar.
aide de camp to president Diaz. said
it was against his policy to give out
any news and remarked that the Amer
lean press has used US very badly"
Let US inquire into that charge.
When the first outbreaks occurred
every effort was made by the Mexican
government to suppress the news and
the result was that only rumors could
be printed. They were labeled rumors
when they were printed. The very
manner in which they were written
indicated that there was doubt of their
authenticity. Later the Associated
Press wire was taken away from the
press and neither the government, nor
the revolutiOnists, nor the newspaper
correspondents could send OUT any
news. Correspondents were sent to the
border and reported what they could
learn, which was not a great deal.
They did their best and kept the Amer
lean public informed Of the fact that
the rumors along the border would at
least tend to indicate that something
was happening in that newsIess in
terror.
There are enough soldiers in Mexico
to put down five such instructions as
occurred in northern Mexico. Why
were not those soldiers rushed TO the
front? Why did it take so long to
guard the railways that bridges were
blown up all along the way2 Why was
Juarez left in such straits that the
government papers and funds were re-
moved to the American side for safe
keeping? Tt all tended to indicate that
the situation in interior Mexico was
so serious that the soldiers could not
be spared for operations along the
border. This conclusion was drawn.
The Mexican officials are very much
accustomed to subsidized press or a
press which can be easily controlled
by threats. Tt has launched upon a
dangerous policy in dealing with the
free press Of this country. Mexico got
what Mexico is entitled to, the public
publication Of every rumor that could
be gathered because the suppression
Of all news made every rUmor news. If
any damage has been done by the re-
ports that have come from Mexico dur
ing this difficulty, Mexico may charge
them to her own short-sighted govern
rnent policy. We hope Mexico has
learned a lesson that will not be for
gotten. Other countries have learned
the same lesson. It is not an easy nor
a pleasant one, but it is good TO have
It well learned once. It imparts wis
dom about many things.
