AMERICAN SHOT
BY THE REBELS
First, Is Cursed; Then Shot

He Is Shot and Robbed.

Wounded and left for dead by Mex

gineer and last year superintendent Of
the Santa Eduviges Mining Co. OF
Sonora, Mexico, owned by Trenton, "
J.. capital, has just arrived in FL Paso,
alive, but badly crippled. He says:
On June first, 1 was working my own
claims at san Lorenzo de Cuevas, State
of Chihuahua in CerrO Chato, and as
was coming into that town from my
mines at 1880 p. m, I met several rebels
on the trail who insulted me in every
possible way calling me a Gringo dog
and several other opprobrious cpl
thets.
I then rode on another quarter Of
mile toward town until 1 met an
other band of rebels, who held me up
and demanded all 1 had. 1 refused to
comply, whereupon one OF them pulled
down on me with his rifle and shot
hole through my hat He was about
70 Ieet away. Then l pulled my 45
automatic Colts and fired five shots
and killed one of the Mexicans Then
all of them, numbering Il men, set
upon me and fired a number Of shots
at me shooting me through ny left
leg and killing my horse. 1 fell down
and was insensible, and I guess they
thought me dead woke up about
midnight and found myself about half
a mile from town. 1 also found they

working for me.
Z learned that in the town several
parties who had heard of the shoot
ing offered to go out and look for me
and bring me to town, but the iefe
Dolitico, YsiderO Quesada, told them
that inasmuch as 1 was only a Gringo
dog, to let me lay out there and die
and rot.
However. the better sentiment in
town prevailed and some friends came
and brought me in. 1 was three weeks
without doctor and suffered terribly.
1 finally was brought to Chihuahua
and was sent here by Mr.. Letcher,
the American consul there, and consul
Edwards sent me to the hospital here,
and I am now getting well.

CLUB ROOMS ARE
MADE INTO STABLE
Homes Of American Railroad
Men In chihuahua Occu-
pied by Federals.

American railroad men in FL Paso,
who were formerly employed on the
Chihuahua division of the Mexican
Central are lamenting the loss OF
their club rooms and quarters in Chi
huahua, which have been taken by the
federal troops and used for stables in
which to keep their horses. The rail-
road men had equipped a library for
the use of the men while off duty IN
Chihuahua. a restaurant has been in
stalled in this library and the books
destroyed or carried away. The houses
where the officials of the road lived
near the Chihuahua station have been
taken by the officers of the federal
army and the horses are pastured in
the front yards of the houses.

LAY DOWN HIS ARMS
Mexico Treating With the
Southern Rebel Leader
Hon Daooo
For Peace.

Mexico City, Mex, Aug. 7.-Represen-
tatives of the government will meet
EmiIiano Zapata, the rebel leader, at
FL Kilguero. Morelos, tomorrow, to dis
cuss measures aiming at peace in the
southern part of the republic.
Zapata has declared he would consid-
er no peace proposition unless it con-
tanned Madero's resignation, but the
government has proceeded with plans
for the conference and the cabinet has
been instructed to obtain an armistice
if possible. Then they viii attempt to
induce Zapata to send his representa-
tives before a committee of the land
owners Of DIorelos and state his de-
mands
Whether the commission will con-
slider the resignation of Madero is
highly improbable, but it is felt that
once the peace conference is launch ed,
terms can be made that do not include
such provision since the principal COM
plant OF the Zapatistas has been that
Of the ownership of the lands. It is
assumed that the government is pre-
pared to meet them part way in a plan
Of establishing peace.
