CUT OFF RIGHT HANDS.
OF Eleven Yaqui Indians by the Seris
Tribe.

Col. Francisco Garcia, just before
his resignation as Federal governor
OF Sonora, headed an expedition to
Tiburn Island, in the Gulf OF Cali
fornia, consisting Of 1S5 men OF the
eleventh battalion and twenty men
Of the Twentieth battalion, clashed
with q number Of Seri Indians, and
many OF the Indians were killed.
Few Of the Siris had firearms, the ma
jority attacking the soldiers with ar
rows and rocks. The Indians we're
surrounded and made prisoners and
Gov. Garica talked with them.
No information was obtained con-
cerning the facts Of Ferguson and
I. Drake, the two American prospec-
tors who left Guamas for Tiburn Is
land some time ago. The Seris de-
MED they were cannibals. They con-
fessed to harboring a number of rebel
Yaqui Indians who had escaped from
Sonora, and Gov. Garcia demanded
that the YaQuis be turned over to his
forces.
The Indians refused to accede to
this demand, but agreed to present
the right hand OF every Yaqua rebel
on the island to the governor OF Son
ora. A party Of Seris was according
ly allowed to go into the interior Of
the island, and the following day
they returned with eleven bloody
right hands, taken from as many
Yaquis, mounted on sticks. The In
dians were then released.

Young Men Get Into Difficulty and
One is Shot.

VIII Stanley, a young cotton mill
operative, was shot at Greenwood
Sunday morning by w. Cal Stroud,
also mill operative from Whitmire,
and died at II O'Clock. The bullet
entered the chin and crashed through
the base Of the brain.
From the testimony adduced at the
inquest, held by Coroner Dock Owen
Sunday afternoon, it appears that L.
P. Stroud and Will Loveless decided
Saturday night to come over to
Greenwood from Whitmire. On their
way to the depot they met will Stan
ley and persuaded him to come with
them. They arrived at Greenwood
about 3 o'clock in the morning and
were met by ". Cal Stroud, the man
who did the killing. They ali four
went to the house OF Mrs. Myrtle
Brown, on PelZel street. Mrs. Brown
is young widow, and had with her
her sister, Miss Bessie Sexton, and
Miss Daisy Dartin, all having a few
weeks ago moved there from Whit
mire.
In the testimony it was stated that
the young men had three pints Of
whiskey and that young Stanley pick
ed up pistol and shot twice through
q window, and then all four young
men went out and went to the store
OF W. H. Hughes. 1t was then about
daylight. A quarrel, it is said. start
ed over Stanley's having carried the
pistol away from thu house, one of
the women having asked him not to
do so. After few words outside the
store scuffle started, and shortly
afterwards, it is alleged, ". Cal
Stroud shot Stanley, as above de-
scribed.

REBELS FORCE CONTRIBUTIONS.
Wealthy Resident Who Refuse tt
Contribute are MiStreated.

Letters from Guadalajara say many
of the better class residents OF Du-
range have been subjected to brutal
treatment by the revolutionists under
Vallejo Con Contreras and Domingo
Arrietta. These leaders have been
short of funds with which to pay
their followers and have been making
forced loans from Wealthier people OF
the city. In case residents refuse to
contribute to the support of the revo-
lutionists, or through circumstances
are unable to pay, they are imme-
diately seized and placed in conf1ne-
men, refused food and drink until
such time as their friends or relatives
produce the requested amount of
money.
Other victims are compelled to
walk barefoot over the magay anad
nopal covered hills. II this treatment
fails to yield the desired contribution
their families are forced from their
homes and obliged to seek refuge in
the neighboring mountains, while
their houses are ransacked and every
thing Of value confscated.

WILL HE ABDICATE?
Rumors From Mexico City Say Huer.
ia May Resign Office.

Advices received at Vera Cruz
Tuesday from Mexico City say that
Joaquin Casasus will be chosen for
eign minister. Gossip at the Mexican
capital again reports that Huerta has
consented to abdicate under the pres
sure Of the foreign diplomatists. Cas-
asus is said to have had no former
political partisanships and could take
the presidency with agreement Of
Constitutoinalists and Federals. The
Mexican constitution provides that
the president must have been foreign
minister previous to his election.
There are some who profess to see in
the rumors sign that Casasus is be-
ing made foreign minister IN order to
be eligible for the presidency. He
has been in Germany for some time,

On the Lookout.
Thirteen survivors Of the British
steamer Columbian, bound from Ant
werp for New York, which caught
FIRE Sunday night, were picked up
Tuesday by the Cunarder Franconia,
bound from Liverpool for Boston.
Another boat, containing the chief
and second second officers and II
men, was still adrift. The Francon-
ia cruised in search Of it.
The survivors suffered terribly dur
ing their for.y hours exposure in an
open boat. Their condition was so
grave that it was impossible to get
their story until several hours after
they were picked up.
A wireless from Halifax Wednes-
day reported that the steamer Man
haitian had rescued thirteen members
Of the crew OF the British freighter
which was burned at sea Sunday
night. These are in addition to the
thirteen saved by the Cunard liner
Franconia, and this brings the total
Of those saved to twenty-six. Nine
teen are reported still missing.
The Columbian caught fire Sunday
when 800 miles south Of Cape Race
Capt. Mcdonald ordered the wireless
operator, James Drohan, to sent out
calls for assistance, but a series OF
explosions put the wireless out o!
commission. It soon became evident
that the crew could not control the
fire and the order to abandon ship
was given. The men left the Colum.
bia in two boats.
Chief Steward Matthews was II
charge OF the first boat. This boat
put away from the steamer and lay
to for time, but in the dense smoke
that surrounded the burning vesse
the other boat was not visible, an6
the stewards boat finally drifted fal
from the scene. OF their suffering:

Food and sleep were matters o.
first consideration and although sym
pathetic passengers were ready with
offers Of assistance to the shipwreck
ed ones, Capt. Miller, OF the Fran
coma saw to it that they we're frs
given the required rest.
Having learned that another boa
with 19 men, probably including
Capt. Mcdonald, still was missing
and supposedly adrift, Capt. Miller
ordered the Franconia turned about
on searching cruize. No trace o.
the second boat has been obtained.

Hoke Smith and Kern it was decid-

state Of the bill which the admins

the president is very anxious for his

session Of congress as well as the bill
fixing rural credits for the agricul-
tural interests. It was agreed, how
ever. that it would not be advisable
for the party leaders to remain In

the entire House comes up for re-

TWO WHITE MEN KILLED
YORK COUNTY is SCENE OF DE-
PLORABLE TRAGEDY.

Two Men Are Drained by Home Made
Bat as They Approach Alleged
Still. s
]. K. Wells, aged %, and Pink
Dover, aged 81, both white, were kill-
ed in fight with J. Ed Turner and
his son, Thad E. Turner, at the homo
Of Jim Mack, colored, about three
miles from Kings Mountain battle
ground, in York county, Tuesday
night at about 1880 o'clock. Both
the dead men were Drained with
home made baseball bat about three
feet long, made Of cedar. They are
said to have been engaged in manu-
featuring and selling illicit whiskey.
Both the Turner's are in Jail, hav-
| ing surrendered to the York county
sheriff early Wednesday morning.
None of the witnesses examined
testified as to actually having seen
the killing, and several who were
present seemed to know little or
nothing about it. From such as
could be obtained it seems that the
deplorable affair was due to the fact
that Wells and Dover were both moro
or less under the influence of whis-
key. 1t is said they had previously
asserted that they proposed to kill
the next officers of the law who un-
dertook to interfere with their bust
ness or arrested them, and that they
mistook the Turner's for officers.
The Turner's are farmers and live
on the public road about eight miles
above Yorkville. After a heavy rain
fall in that section on Tuesday they
decided to go fishing, and drove to
the home Of Jim Mack, and left their
buggy there and went to the creek
near by to fish. They returned 10 the
house a short time before the killing
and found Dover and Wells, who mis-
took them for officers, and are said
to have drawn pistols on Ed Turner
and ordered him to hold up his hands.
Mack testified that four shots were
fired, and stated that Turner fred
twice and that the other parties fred
twice, but stated that he YVES not
lnear enough to see the movements Of
all the parties. After the shooting
was over it was discovered that both
Wells and Dover had been Drained
and were practically dead, and that
Dover had been shot in the right leg
below the knee

BLAAIES MEDIATORS.
Charges Them With Failure Of the
Rebels to Enter Mediation.

General Carranza Tuesday at Chi
huahua declared that the mediators
themseles were directly responsible
for the failure OF the rebels to enter
into the mediation conference now
going on at Washington. The Con-
stitutionalist leader says they at
tempted to name the terms upon
which the rebels could enter and as
the Constitutionalists could not agree
to an armistice with General Huerta
the condition barred them from all
entry. He says he accepts the decis-
ion ct the mediators as final and will
not enter the conference at all.
