tenden. the cnoductor who took Us

ly. He helped run one train Of
twenty-five cars and another one
OF twelve cars through Empalme
at night under th. very noses OF the
Federals They have torn up the
track now. so he can't pull those
stunts off again. Then he helped to
run a ear OF dynamite against one
Of Ojeda's trains at Maytorena In
June As It happened 1t blew up
only one car. as the Federal engin.

nearly out o. danger. Chlttenden's E
life wouldn't b. worth much II the
Fedorals ever got their hands on
him.

or 'bronoho' Yaquis use = drum or
,ambor' instead OF buGle or trum-
pet In giving orders. 20 instead OF
sounding the different calls on the
bugle they give them by drum beats.
The first 'corncis' or drumm.f Who
wakes up In the morning and sees
the first traces OF dawn In thu
east begins To tune up and one by
one the rest OF them follow suit.
