strong opposition and misrepre-

are ashamed to state come from
local sources
Mr.. Seymour has been charged
nightly for the past week with en-
deayoring to defeat the Nisqually
bonds and he has not attempted
to deny 1t. When accusation was
first made, the Ledger attempted
to wriggle a way out for Mr.. Sey-
mour. The effort simply result
ed in. stronger proof being
brought to bear that the charge
was TRUE.

DOUGLAS, Ariz.. April IL
Promising to take Aqua Prieta
from the rebels or leave his dead
body on the field of battle, Ron
aldo Diaz, nephew of the aged
president of Mexico led 1000 fed
eral troops to the attack on the
Mexican adjunct to this city this
morning. Needing the promise
given Uncle Sam that he would not
fire across the border, Diaz de-
ployed his men to the westward of
the city, ignoring the cover of a
few rolling hills to the south, and
advancing in the open.
The real action started at $3.50
o'clock when a machine gun
sneaked up to within range of the
adobe shacks southwest of the
town and opened murderous fire.
Rebel outposts were called in at
daylight and there was no oppo-
sition to the advance except a few
long range shots until the machine
gun started to belch smoke and
fire.
Then an English-born veteran
known as Pop" Willis, with five
Taramerara Indians, erept through
the mesquite to within 400 yards
of the guns and after an hours
exchange of shots with the federal
sharpshooters, silenced them.
Dozen Federals Fall
A detachment of 200 infantry
creeping up a gully, suddenly ap-
peared on the east of the town and
with a wild yell charged to clus-
ter of adobe and brush barns used
as a corral by the rebel cavalry

the combatants advanced to the
south of the city. Douglas Is al

Bullets Fall Among Troops
A shower fell among the Amer
lean troops as they sat on their
horses. One riders hat was pierre
ed and a bullet went through an
others sleeve. Captain Gaujot
then. ordered his men to withdraw
to the shelter of row of adobe
buildings in Fifth street. One
cavalry horse was struck in the hip
by a bullet and bolted, carrying
his rider across the line almost in
to Aqua Prieta.
At $50 o'clock the first am
bulance load of wounded was
brought into Douglas.
The ambulance men reported
that the federals south and east of
the town had withdrawn after
their repulse, reformed, returned
to the attack and had.gained few
scattering cutbuildings in the low
er section of the town.
Defying orders from Capt. Gau-
jot, U. s. A., to remain out of the
danger zone, more than 1000
Douglas citizens climbed on house
tops and in range of the advancing
fighters guns, and watched the
conflict.

EARLY GAINS LOST
WHILE PRESSURE
IN PRONOUNCED
London's Incipient Boom in
Americans Subject of
Suspicion. y

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-Priees rose
sharply al the opening of the stock
market today. with a gain of 1% in
Canadian Pacific and a point Zach for
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Great
Northern, Rock Island preferred and
Missouri. Kansas and Texas. Other
issues advanced materially, the entire
list showing a strong undertone, fol-
lowing London's lead,
II a. ma large part of the early
gains was 500 lost, many prices fall
ing to yesterdays closing level with not
a few below, The market slackened
after the increase in the initial out
burst: London's incipient boom in
Americans was the subject of some
comment, being a suspicion that the
movement had its origin here. Pres
sure against the Harrimans and New
York Central, st. Paul and Reading was
most pronounced
Noon-Further declines were made in
the second hour, which effected not only
complete loss of most gains, but
brought recessions from last nights

were freely offered and the market had
much of the previous days indeoision.
The retirement of II. c. Frick from the
Hartman boards went far towards eX-
planning the recent neavy selling of
Unlon Pacific and Southern Pacific.
Prices recovered in part from the low
est, but as has been so often the case
during the past fortnight trading be-
came very duh.
! p. m.-The list backed and filed
during the moor hour, with no definite
tendency. Trading continued to di-
minish.
: n. m.-On a sudden drive Union
Pacific fell to 1I5A, the rest of the list
declining sympathetically. The stock
quickly rallied over a point. after
which the list relapsed into its pre-
vious state of apathy.

minutes on covering of shorts and some
fresh buying inspired by rather better

reports as to an early settlement of the
English strike. The trade seemed to
expect better weather conditions in the
Southwest, however, and as the bulls
appeared to be giving the market lit

pressure with the market reacting to

Trade interests became buyers on the
decline and the market turned steadier
toward midday with prices working up
to a net advance of about 3 TO ) points.
There seemed to be nothing fresh in

quiet morning of the week. trading

time since the publication of the Au-
