as the rumble turned into a roar; but
the roar grew louder, there was

round the point, rode up high as it

the shops Who'll go with me to put

than a clawbar and a wrench"
I'll goi" volunteered Bud and the
man who stood guard. and as startled
sieepers reused up on every side and
ran toward the scene of the wreck
they dashed down the hill together and
threw handcar on the track.
Then, with what tools they could
get together, and a spare derailer on
the front, they pumped madly up the
canyon, holding their breaths at every
curve for fear of what they might see.
If there was one runaway car there
was another, for the rebels were be-
ginning an attack
Already on the ridges above them
they could hear the crack of rifles, and
a jet or two of dust made it evident
that they were the mark. But with
three strong men at the handles they
made the handcar jump. The low hills
fed behind them They rounded a
point and the open track lay before
them, with something
Jump" shouted the roadmaster,
and as they tumbled down the bank
they heard a crash behind them and
their handcar was knocked into kind

With frantic eagerness he toiled up
the fill and attacked a f1sh-plate, and
Bud and the young guard searched the
hillside for tools to help with the work
They fell to with sledge and clawbar,
tapping off nuts, jerking out spikes,
and heaving to loosen the rail-and

gulch a wild locomotive, belching
smoke and steam like a fire engine,
went rushing past them, struck the
loose rail. and leaped into the creek

its way down to the water. there was
an explosion that shook the hills. They

In his ear But IL they planned ven
geance between them the times were
not right, for a rattle OF arms came
from the lower town and the captain
was up and away to marshal his men
to the defense.
So far In the siege Del Rey had kept
under cover, patrolling the streets
and plaza and letting the volunteers
fight, but now the war had shifted to
his territory and his ruraIes were run
ming like mad For, matching treach-
cry against deceit, the rebel leaders
had sent men around to slip up near
the town and at the first fusiIlade from
the hillside they came charging up
the creek
Then it was that the ever-watchful
rurales proved their worth As the
rebels appeared In the open they ran
to the outlying houses and, fighting
from the fat roofs, checked the sd-
vance until the miners could come to
their aid.
But In the confusion another party
of rebels had rushed down the gulch
from the west, and while the fight was

With fearlessness born OF long IA

filed the adobe with wounded and

A dense pail OF yeIlowish smoke
rose high above the town and, as bomb
after bomb was exploded and the yells
of the miners grew louder with each
success, the stunned invaders broke
from cover and rushed helter-skelter
up the gulch. Then there was prodi-
gious shouting from the Sonorans and
more than one triumphant grenadier
swung his can Of giant powder by the
sling and let it smash against the hill

In the big house all was confusion.
Soon the cheers Of the defenders her

to restrain them, the wives OF the
miners rushed into the open to gaze
upon the triumph Of their menfolk.
On the hilltops the ineffective rebel
rifiemen rose up from behind their
stone wall to stare, until suddenly
they, too, were seized with pahic and
ran to and fro like ants. Then, around

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
BREAK IN THE MARKET.
Aftermath of Fridays Decline in Prices
 in Europe.

New York, April 25-The renew ed break on the stock exchange today may perhaps be most accurately de- scribed as the aftermath of yesterday S decline in Europe. This curious coin cidence-if coincidence it was-left 1t open to dispute how far the weakness here directly reflected the Mexican situation. There can, however, be no doubt that the weakening of the mar ket, from whatever specific cause, gave inducement and opportunity for urging the demonstration into the shape of the traditional war market There was no further development of an un- favorable nature in the Mexican news today, and Europe bought in our mar ket at the opening, instead of selling. Nevertheless although prices of many stocks started out at a fractional re- coyery, the selling movement was at once resumed, and on active trading prices fell a point or whereabouts throughout the list. Towards the close stock market ended steadier and more quiet
 A reassuring fact, in the depression which marked the ending of the week, was the very strong bank statement. published after the markets close. The SIP, 900, 900 gain in cash on the week end showing was more than twice as large as yesterdays forecasts indicat- ed, and the loan expansion of only $T, 500, ,000 showed that the company financing of the week had been nearly counterbalanced by the stock exchange liquidation. AS a result, surplus re- serves increased no less than SS,500,- 600.

NAVY CREW VICTORIOUS
 OVER HARVARD
Crimson's Second Crew by Three
 Lengths.

By a margin of a little over half a length, Navys varsity eight-oared crew defeated the Harvard varsity crew Saturday. covering the distance, a mile and 5-16. in six minutes and 43 seconds. Harvard crossed the finish line two seconds later
 Harvard'S second crew won from Navy's second eight over the same course by three lengths in exactly the same time-six minutes and 43 sec onds Navy's time in this race was six minutes and 53 2-5 seconds.
 The races were rowed on the inner course of the Severn river under the most disagreeable weather conditions a steady drizzle chilling the oarsmen to the bone and keeping the host of spectators shivering.
 Both races were rowed up stream, with wind and tide at the backs of the contenders. The winning time in both events was nearly a. minute faster than in the Pennsylvania-N Navy var sity race here a week ago when the middies were losers. Navy's first crew today showed improvement in form and condition as the sailors started in to win from the first and forced the pace all the way.

BIG DAMAGE SUITS

The Cincinnati Exhibition company. which controls the Reds, filed suits in the superior court Saturday, asking $20,000 damages from C. C. Madison. president of the Kansas City Federal League club, and S10,000 from George Johnson, pitcher. as a result of John sons jumping to the Federal league. The complaint charges Madison with obtaining a player under contract with the Cincinnati club and charges John son with breach of contract.
 The damage suits are supplemental to the injunction suit brought Thurs day against the Kansas City club and Johnson. which prevented his playing with his new team. Answer to the injunction suit will be filed Monday.
 Johnson has been formally suspend ed from the Players Fraternity, ac- cordin~ to official notification from President David Fultz of that organi- zation, because of his alleged disre- gard of his Cincinnati contract. No- ttce of suspension reached him at the hotel here where the Kansas City Federals are staying.

The Connecticut Aggies were easy meat for the Academy baseball team on Saturday afternoon on the Campus. The day was too cold for football ev- en and when the inith inning came arund all the players were rejoicing. The score was l4 to z
 The Academy went right after the farmers pitcher with hammer and tong and did not let up until the end. The gloves that the Aggies wore seem as if they were lined with rubber as they let everything drop.
 Their errors besides being numerous were disastrously timely. They got the same number of hits as the Acad- emy did but they were not timely Wood was the only man that showed any life playing a perfect fielding game out of eight chances On one smash that looked good for two bases he made sensatinal catch getting the ball one hand
