 TERROR STALKS
Through Buckeyes Peace
 ful Streets As Visions of Raids and Warfare Be cloud the Memory of
 Some Prominent Citizens.

Terror with a grim visage struck the peaceful Iittlt town of Buckeye last week if the reports received from that growing community are tc be believed. Raids pulled off with all the old time Indian fervor. to which was added little modern sauce be- cause of the imaginings of Mexican rcvoItosos and YaQui Indians, blood curdIing shouts anr repetitiOns of dire words in a foreign tongue, are but usual afternoon, evening and night happenings there.
 The following appearing in the current number of the Buckeye Val lev News tells the story of the trou- hIc better probably than one who was not on the spot to see:
 Tuesday night was Frank More nos birthday At least one would think SO from the way he had every bciy celebrating.
 Frank has been reading a great deal recently about the Mexican war and the Yaqui Indian raids, and every time he sees a strange Mexican face he has visions of a raid on Buckeye
 "So Tuesday night when eleven MeXicans, all strangers and well mounted, rode up to the pool hall in old town. dismounted, and after look ing the layout over, asked for some thing to eat. Frank fled in terror by way of the back door. and so far as we know is still running and spread ing the alrm.

 An organization was soon per fected, the commanding officers named and consultations held. It was unanimously agreed not to attack the brigands; it was argued that we " ere a peaceful people and met only t0 defend our lives and homes from the intrusion of a band of invading foreigners.
 At this juncture Mike Pesquaro arrived with eighteen comrades. the Mexican population of old Buckeye. all of whom swore allegiance to the cause. and were immediately placed on guard duty.
 "A brave and diIigent vigilence was kept up until the wee small hours ir the morning, when it was discov- cred that the moon, which had been O. great service to us was gradually slipping out of sight down the west ern horizon. Then and not till then did the board of strategy realize their peril and the absolute necessity of achievements.
 ''Thereupon William Walton of Palo Verde was called up by teIe- phone and asked to send the the PalO Verde reserve to our rescue And right here is where Walton got in bad and incurred the enmity of every man. woman and child in Buckeye. He absolutely declined to call out the reserves at that time in the night, and haughtily hung up the receiver and went back to bed Walton is evidently no patriot
 The long wakefuI night finally wore away. and with the rising of sun and tht bright dawn of an other day, and also George Day. the mystery was explained
