with those from other fruit districts

Wenatchee fruit district, taking in all
of the territory in the Columbia river
valley at a maximum elevation of 1900

atchee valley are concerned and with a
solid front place the apples on the mar
kets of the world with one label.

REBELS and REGULARS OF

OTHER SUNDAY.
Insurrectos Lose 40 or More, While the
Regulars Lost Four in the Attack in
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Refugees Hit
Prisoners, Shackled Together With
Ropes, Exposed to Danger at Onset.

Chihuahua, Mexico, April 17.-Forty
or more insurrectos were killed and
more than 100 wounded in battle
fought between Sauze and Santa Clara
canyon, about so miles north of here,
according to federal couriers. They
brought orders to have hospital cots
ready for federal wounded The fed
erals report five killed, including, prob
ably, women.
Marching from Casas Grandes to
Chihuahua with prisoners under Gen
eral Luis Valdez the federals, followed
by about 100 refugees, were attacked.
Five hundred insurrectos under Gen
erals Orozco and Villar had been in
structed by Francisco Madero to head
off the Casas Grandes contingent and, if
possible, to capture and release the
prisoners.
The fight occurred at Hacienda as the
prisoners, shackled together by ropes,
and the women and children refugees,
weary from the long trip, were scat
tered in long broken lines.
The federals Immediately responded
with heavy firing and placed the pris-
oners and non-combatants under pro
lection. The fighting continued for
several hours and resulted in sending
north General Rabago with 500 rein
forcements. The first intimation of the
fight was brought here by the arrival
of riderless horses. So far as known
none of the prisoners, among whom are
believed to be many American, were
wounded, and none escaped.
Big Battle Expected.
Aqua Prieta, Mexico.-After seveera
sl1irmishes between rebels and the ad
vancing federals, without known fatal
ties, the opposing forces are now await
ing another day. The federals were
wearied from their long march and halt
ed their advance at dusk. The rebels
are busy fortifying Aqua Prieta anC
vicinity. A battle is expected in th'
morning, and it may be decisive one
as Madero IS forces are concentrated
here and defeat would bring disaste
to them in more than one respect.
Call For Volunteers.

unteer soldiers to serve for six month
has been posted here. The call is mad
to all citizens between IS and As year
old who desire to lend their services t

ADMIRAL ToGo'S ENGLISH.

Army and navy officers who have become discouraged in their attempts to entertain Admiral Togo in cOnver- sation will appreciate a story told by Washington diplomat, says the Army and Navy Journal The silence of the Japanese naval hero was a general topic of conversation. A diplomat who had known Admiral Togo prior to the Russian-Japanese war asserts that up to the time when reporters attempted to interview him on board his ship about the war he spoke English fluent ly. When the reporters asked about Japanese plans and sought for otnec information the admiral could not un
 derstand a word they said, and was utterly unable to say a word in re- sponse. The reporters noticed, how ever, that his table and desk were strewn with English magazines and text books. As the admiral lived in England from 1871 to 1878, it is not unlikely that, with his largely recep- tive mind. he laid away a good store of the language of Shakespeare. The above anecdote of Count Togo may af- ford a hint for our officers when they are abroad and are approached by newspaper men for opinions on deli cate questions. They may fall back upon linguistic lockjaw as a way out.

SLAYER 0F K|lG0RE
 HELD WITHOUT BAIL
No Defense Disclosed in Behalf of
 James A. Taylor.

James A (Chippy) Taylor was yesterday held to the grand jury, without bail, on the charge of mur- dering Guy C. Kilgore, one week ago. this morning. The preliminary exam iratiOn which took place before Judge Parker was a rather formal proceed ing only two witnesses were exam ined, L. w. Morgan, one of the eye witnesses of the shooting. and Dr. O. F. Plath, who conducted the autopsy.
 The defendant was represented by Attorney F. c. Struckmeyer. who did not disclose the nature of the de- fense, by any questions asked the wit nesses. No testimony was offered in behalf of the accused.
 Mention was made of a letter that Tay,or had written to his wife, while she was at Tucson last April, advis- ing her to secure money by disrep- utable means. This letter is in the possession of the district attorneys office, it having been secured from Mrs. Taylor on the day of the trag- edy Mir Struckmeyer asked permis- sion to see it and District Attorney Bullard told him that he would be furnished a copy of it.
 It is evidently the purpose of the defense to show that the letter was written during a period of one of the frequent quarrels between Taylor and his wife and that it was intended as an insult to her rather than as a suggestion that she enter upon a life Of shame.
 Presumably the defense will be bas- ed chiefly on the theory of insanity, as many of the acquaintances of Fay Tor have stated that for years they believed him to be irresponsible, and of a homicidal tendency

A DAY.

I'll tell you how the sun arose. A ribbon at a time. The steeples swam in amethyst, The news like squirrels ran. The hills united their bonnets, The bobolinks begun; Then I said softly to myself, That must have been the sun.
  But how he set, l know not. There seemed a purple stile Which little yellow boys and girls Were climbing all the while. Till when they reached the other side A dominic in gray. Put gently up the evening bars, And led the flock away.
