Han Holiday at Isemcro's mill. "a mile
and a half west uf fujiuuc and sixteen
miles west OF Estancia, this afternoon.
Poledor Sedill0 and Herculano Chavez
were shot and instantly killed.
Accurate information IN regard 10
the details of the tragedy Is difficult
to obtain tonight, as communication
between fatigue and Estancia is very
poor, and not until the officers who
have gone 90 arrest the two men have
returned with them will Il be possible
to gain definite information MS to the
way In which the killing occurred.
According TO the story that is gem
orally accepted here tonight. McKin-
ley. who Is % years of age. and Holi-
Gay, who is 2S, have for some time
been getting timber from the Taiipuc
grant without permission from the
commissioners, and have been hauling
cedar posts 10 lEstancia ana selling
them here. II is said that legal proc
ceedings were instituted against them

more timber. and Scdillo and Chavez
were sent TO serve these papers

or % criminal nature Is not definitely
known, but from he tragedy that fol
lowed 10 De- assumed that The paper
which 1t was sought To serve on Me
Kinley and Holiday was q warrant for
their arrest
1t is also stated that Sodillo and
chavez were told that it would be un-
necessary for thcm to go armed upon
their mission as it was believed that
the two men would submit peaceably
to whatever proceedings had been
brought against them, and that nc-
cordingly they took no weapons with
them. II is known however. that
upon their attempt To- serve the pa-
pers they were both shot and killed.
one version of tho affair IS that Alc-
Kinlcy ana Holiday each killed his
man, but this has been contradietcd.
and another story is To the fleet that
Holiday killed both men and that Nc
Kihley had nothing to do with the
tragedy.
Immediately after the killing Holl-

BABY MORTALITY LESS
Slump of so Deaths Last
Week as Compared with 1913

According to figures received yester-
day by the Babies Welfare Assocla-
ton from the Department of Heath
not so many babies by fifty died last
week as during the first week of Au-
gust. 1918. The total number Of deaths
in the city among babies less than
year old is 33l, as against 3sl Tor
1913.
The Borough of Manhattan still
leads in the weekly decrease of deaths,
its record for 1914 being l61, as
against 1913 for 1918 Particularly en-
couraging is the fact that this de.
crease in the infant deaths of the week
is found under disrrheal causes, the
city at large reporting only 100 deaths
from disrrhea, as against 1873 for
1913
