SONORA TRAIN HELP UP.
Campa Alter Sending Passengers Ava
 Destroys R. R. Property.

Last Wednesday at Quijano, a short distance south of the in ternational line, General Campa. the rebel, who with his band had made a force march from the Cananea railroad where he held up and destroyed Southern Pacific property, across the Pi- nito mountains, held up the pas Senger train en route to Guay mas from NogaleS, and in the language of Express Messenger E. l.. Chalfant raised merry 'ell'' with the railroad com pany'S property and sent him back to NogaleS without hat and coat, with the unpleasant duty of reporting to his com pany that be had been compell ed to let the red fiaggerS separ- ate him from all express com pany property in his charge, in cluding a goodly sum of money.
 The engine of the train was Campa's bunch, the advance guard of which had just arrived over the Pinto trail, unexpect- edly
 There were about three hun dred in the bunch under Campa and Miguel EnciSo, who after firing a number of shots through the Pullman and first G as coaches, boarded the train. The red flag boys immediately held up the news butcher and reliev- ed him of his fruit and liquid refreshments, then an ex-expreSS messenger and a number of the band entered the express car while General Campa entertained the passengers by making them au eloquent speech in perfect English. Campa treated every body in the train with the utmost courtesy, telling them they would not be -molested; all he and his followers wanted was arms and ammunition and the destruction of t h Southern Pacitic's property in retaliation for bad treatment shown the red flaggers by the company which was owned by American capital. He said he was going to put the company out of busi- ness in Sonora, and would cap ture Hermosillo on Sept. 18th, Mexico's natal day.
 In the meantime the bunch in the express car was putting Messenger Chalfant through the Third Degree. The chief was familiar with the express busi- ness. He asked for the way bills and demanded that the safe be opened. Seeing that the jig was up Chalfant compiled with his request, saying the safe was empty. All right" said the red fiagger, but please dig up the money of which mention is made on these way bills. Chal- fant dug it up. In the search for fruit, number of boxes of car tridges were found by the re- bels, who then threatened the | ing to 'hold-out' on them. Ali ter some discussion, and the l rough handling of the messen- gers assistant, the express boys | were ordered into the first-claSS. coach, which was then taken back to Agua Zarca, about a dozen miles south of Nogales, where the passengers where left to await assistance from this place.
 Immediately after permitting the operator to wire here for help, Campa broke the instru ment and then with the express, mail and second class cars, start i ed south burning bridges and destroying the telegraph line as he went. The express, mail and coach, as we'll as several freight cars were placed on bridges and burned, after which the engine was sent wild for several miles and ditched, after jumping forty-five foot bridge destroyed by the rebels, who then left the railroad going west and are said to be in the mountains near the railroad.
 The northbound train return ed to Guaymas Wednesday af ternoon, and just as soon as the line can be repaired will return
