menace that construction company's
building railroads in Sonora and
Slnaloa, were forced to keep small
arsenal of winchesters and ANU
milton in each camp with which to
arm the workmen when necessary
to repulse their attacks.
MCGEE was largely responsible for
this savagry, as he was the trusted
lieutenant of the Yaqui Chiefs.
They called him the White Yaqui''
and by that name he was known to
the rurales and all Mexicans in Son
ora and Sinaloa.
The most spectacular coup made
by the White Yaqui during his car
eer, was executed when returning
with six Yaquis from scouting ex-
petition. Early one morning short
ly after they had left Nacozari Vie
jo they met burro train laden with
silver ingots moving west on the
mountain road to the Nacozari rail
road. When the White Yaqui saw
this burro train approaching a half
mile distant he conceived plan to
capture the entire outfit, which was
no sooner conceived than executed.
In one swift movement the Yaquis
fell upon and dispatched the four
armed Mexicans in charge of the
burros, while the White Yaqui
turned the bell mare off the road
and started her up the steep trail
leading over the divide; the burros
Immediately changed their course
and fled behind following the bell.
Two days later the entire train was
safe in the Yaqui country.
Three months later the White
1 Yaqui with the same companions
were camped near Nacozari Viejo
waiting for another shipment Of sill
yer which was due. The rurales
anticipating such move were on
the alert.
One night the white Yaqui lett his
companions at the camp and came
alone to the little town for supplies.
AS he entered the cantina he was
recognized by the rurales and i'm
mediately arrested.
The next morning he was tried
by court-martial, convicted by old
General Astiz, with a captain and
two lieutenants acting as the auden-
cias or tribunal. After hearing the
evidence and the White Yaqui's
feeble attempt at self defence. the
old general turned and addressed
the audencia: Gentlemen, WI hat is
your verdict" Guilty, General"
came the reply. The White Yaqui
was sentenced to be shot.
Near the ruins of an old Spanish
slnelter which had lain idle for more
than a century, two soldiers led the
White Yaqui to his station, the fir
ing squad filed to theirs. At the signal
their rifles cracked simultaneously,
making single report. The White
Yaqui sank to the ground and was
buried where he fell.
A fortnight later band of Yaquis
rode up the trail leading past the
spot where their comrade had fallen
and paused long enough to carry
stones from the stream and build
mound over his grave.
AS the stage coach rattles down
the canon on it's regular trips from
Nacozari to Montezuma, and near
the old Spanish smelter, the driver
points his whip and tells his passen-
gers that the mound of stones is the
grave of the White Yaqui.
