CHIL, 5 BURIAL
PLACE A SECRET
WITH THE DEATH OF CAPT.
JEFFORDs, THE SECRET OF
APACHE'S GRAVE is SEALED.

Tucson. Ariz, March 23.-The last
ing friendship of white man for
an Indian. tie that was sealed
with blood. was eXemplified in the
life of Captain Thomas Jefferson
Jeffords, a native of New York and
a pioneer of the Indian country,
who died recently on his lonely
ranch, the Owls Head, thirty-fye
miles northwest Cf Tucson. by par
taking of the ceremonies of the
Apaches that made one man a "blood
brother" to another, Jefford became
attached to Cochise, one of the
greatest chiefs of the Apache tribe.
The ceremony involving transtus-
ion of ones blood to the other and
vice versa. BY the bonds thus ce-
mented no power, the Indians be-
lieved, could cause one to betIay the
other.
If is probable that Cochise re-
ouested Jeffolds to never tell where
the chiefs grave was dug, for after
the death of the chief only Jeffords
knew where he was bulEed and the
secret died with Jeffords. Cochise
gave Jefforls a shotgun that he priz-
el sbcye all his other possessions
and this weapon in his will he be-
oueathed to Morajeska, another
staunch friend of the tribe, whom
he named as his executor.
Jeffords accompanied General Mil
es as a messenger ana courier il
the campaign that resulted in thu
capture of Geronimo. Before thes,
stirring days, and as early as 1853
he was a military messenger for thu
government, doing service in New
Mexico ami Arizona.

brother-in-law, when Rogers approach.
I'd them and told them that they were

Officers raidel the coaches on the
southbound Santa Fe train this

ended they had eleven suitcases OF
whiskey corralled and took the same
10 the marshaIs office, where it was
destroyed.
The southbound train seems to be
a new stunt in the booteeging game,
it is hardly probable that the law
Of introducing could be invoked in
such cases as the liquor was pur-
chased in oklahoma, but the viola
ton of the law has been committee

owners come forward to claim the
goods, which they never do.

coLQUITT's OFFER OF REWARD
MAY CAUSE KIDNAPPING OF YER

Results.

sand dollars for the delivery Oh ~ q
soil of the five MeXicans suspected
the murder Of Clemente Vergara, is
causing the state and war department
officials serious concern on account
Of possible international complica-
tions.
The MeMcans are Apolonio Rodri-
euez, Nito Ceara, Juan Catillon, ReaS
Rodriguez and Dinomisto Martinez.
Colquitt's right to offer the reward
is not questioned, but it is feared that
in this case it may lead to an attempt
to kiduap the Meyicans and bring
them into Texas, which would violate
The treaty between the United States
and Mexico, giving the MeXicans the
right to demand punishment of the
kidnapers.

BILL
A DANGEROUS ONE
ONE OF THE MOST PERFECT
COUNTERFEITS OF A $40 BANK
NOTE HELD BY BANKERS.

Oklahoma City, March 23.-Be care
full how you accept so bank notes,
especially ii they purport to be of the
Walters National Bank, Walters, Okla.
One of the most perfect counterfeits
of a SO bank note ever seen in this
city is being held by the City State
bank.
This bank note was sent to Wash
ington to the treasury department,
which returned it to the bank cancel
ed and marked counterfeit" The en-
craving and printing are perfect re-
productions of genuine banknote,
even to the most minute detail in the
engraving. The paper is not quite as
good, but would hardly be detectable,
except by experts.
The only noticeable defect, even to
the skilled eye, is in the numbering
which on the genuine is done from
special steel numbering dies and with
an extraordinary quality Of ink, while
this one is printed from zinc plates
IN an ink that has partially failed to
withstand the effects Of wear. The
serial number is 2211331 in the upper
right-hand corner, the number in the
lower lelt-hand corner is SS5, while
the number in the margin is 1911.
These numbers are similar to all o.
the series Of 1902, to which this one
purports to belong. In watching fol
similar banknotes, the best marking
to watch will be the name Of Tho
bank and the number in the margin
which is a part of the plate.
The bank will have to return th'
bank note 10 the treasury department
in the near future. Immediately upo'
receipt Of it the treasury department
will deliver it 20 the chief of secre
service division of that department o
the government.

Jualpz Mexico, March 2l-Gomez
Palacio was in rebel hands today,
according to information from the
office of General Chao here. General
Heuayldes, leading the Zaragosa bril-
is said, is now advancing upon
Torl'eon itself. No statement Of the
casualties in the desperate street
fighting at Gomez Palacio last night
was available.
A telegram from General Villa,
ordering supplies to be sent direct
to Gomez Paliclo, was received here,
which is taken as confirmation Of
his victory. General Benayides, it
as said. is now advancing upon
Torreon from the east, after cutting
the railroad to Saltillo. His column
would therefore strike Torreon from
a different direction from that from
which General Villa will make the
main attack, which has already PEN
etratel past Gomez Palacio,
Some reports here indicate tnat
large portion of the Torreon federal
garrison was engaged in the unsuc-
cessful Gomez Palacio defense.

PARCEL POST TEST.
TO Be MADE SOON
gURLESCN PLANS TO REOUCE
THE COST OF LIVING - TEN
CITIES CHOSEN FOR TEST.

Washington, March 23-Prelimin.
AIRY steps were taken today by the
post Office department to perfect its
plan of reducing the cost Of living by
having the parcel post carry farm
products direct to the door of the con
sumer. Ten cities-Boston, Atlanta,
ST. Louis, san Francisco, Baltimore,
Detroit, Las Crosse, Wis, Lynn, Mass,
Rock Island, H., and Washington, d.
c., were selected to begin the work
of establishing direct connection be
tween producer and consumer, and
orders today were sent to the post
masters Of these cities directing them
80 receive the names of persons who
are willing to supply farm products in
retail quantities by parcel post" Print
ed lists Of these names will be distrib-
urcd among city and town postmas-
ters.
Postmaster General Burlcson al
ready has issued an order permitting
the use Of crates and boxes for butter
eggs, poultry, vegetables and fruit
shopped by parcel post
"By the use of these lists" said
First Assistant Postmaster General
Roper today, the city consumer can
get in touch with a farmer who will
! fill his weekly orders for farm pro
duce.
The consumer will receive the pro-
duce fresh from the country and the
personal relationship established no
doubt will tend to improve the quail
ty. The farmer will be relieved Of
carrying his produce to the market,
as the rural carrier will make daily
: collections at the farmers own door
Of the retail shipments to city con
sumers.
"The point has been raised that dif-
fculty will be experienced in the re
J turn of hampers whose value would
not warrant their return, or he may
use the higher grade hampers for
which he may include an additional
charge to be credited to the consum-
er on the return Of the hamper by
parcel post.
Has Confidence in Plan.
"The Postmaster General is con
vinced that this plan is the one thing
necessary to enable the people Of this
country to enjoy the potential benefits
of the parcel post No one ever has
questioned the possibility Of reducing
the cost of living by establishing di
rect relations between the ultimate
consumer and the original producer
A complete means for such direct
transportation was provided for the
first time by the establishment of the
domestic parcel post, but there has
been lacking an agency by means o.
which the individual producer coult
get in touch with the individual con
sumer
The Postmaster Generals plan j.
designed to provide this agency fol
most economical distribution of those
products which are consumed in The
form and conditions in which they are
produced"
