HALF HAS NEVER
 BEEN RELATED THEY SAY
(Ffom Wednesdays Daily.)

"The situation in that section ot
 Sonora, in which we have been liv.
 ing for the past eighteen months
 cannot be described" was the state
 ment made yesterday by Mir. and
 Mrs. Harry Penwell, formerly resi-
 dents of this county, who returned
 Saturday night and are en route to
 the Verde Valley.
 We reached the line at Naco, on
 foot, and with only the clothing on
 our backs. Mir. Penwell had no
 shoes on, and had it not been for an
 old Mexican who made a pair of moccasins out of a weather beaten hide, 1 do not know what would have become of us. To say the country is passing through a most pitiable condition of poverty, hardly expresses the awful situation of the poorer classes. The cattle have been driven away or else conhscated, while the securing of staple provis- ions is out of the question. We fail ed to see one American out of over two hundred who had not been sub jected to the vilest insults known, or who had not lost everything the reb- els or federals could get their hands on. Anything from a handkerchief around the neck to the shoes on the feet was taken away by force if it was necessary. With other Ameri- cans we were employed by a Cali fornia land reclamation company north of Hermosillo, all of whom have left that country, some going put via Guaymas, while others made Tor the Arizona line.
 Anticipating what has been prov cn to be a reality, most of us Am ericans needed the warning given some months ago, and so far as our finances are to be considered, the money was drifted out of the coun- ny to American centers, and is safe y cared for. To say that we will ,ver return to that country is out ,f the question. Intervention by this administration is the only remedy to ave wonderfully productive region md incidentally the natives as we'll ! The last American money we had i ,n our persons was used to bribe a ocal magistrate that we could con inue our journey out of a small own called Quineterra. It was a i en-dollar gold piece, and the polite 'efico was as startled as we were oth to part with this treasure"
