KILLED SO men

This forenoon John Heathcoat,
who lived in. Mexico, from June
1912 to March 1914, called at this
office and told the following story
Of his experience in that unhappy
country:
He was the foreman of a South
ern Pacific construction gang on
the West coast. In March of this
year he was working a gang of 80
r1en. On the 18th of March nine of
his men laid off and he went to
work with the other 80. His fam
lily consisting of himself, wife, one
daughter and a son, lived in a box
a at an unnamed section of the
railroad, 1872 miles south of Ma
zatlan. After his work was done
on that day, he returned with the
men to the box car. On opening
the door Of the car, he found the
man9led bodies of his wife and
children piled in a heap. Their
limbs had been dismembered and
thrown on the bodies of the victims.
The sides and door Of the car were
stained with their innocent blood.
AS Heathcoat entered the car,
be was fired at by two of the Mexi-
cans, but. was not hit. He made
his way to a Winchester rife and
revolver he had secreted in the car
and defended himself. He claims
that he kept mp the battle until he
had Killed everyone of the 80 Next
cans in the car and escaped unhurt.
After the battle he took a red lam
tern and his guns and struck out
on foot for the West coast, 1872
miles away. He tramped at mig hit
and slept through the day, living
on rabbits he shot at night. After
10 nights of weary footsore tramp
ing he reached the coast and at
tracted the attention Of an English
vessel that seat out a boat and took
him on board. He was afterward
transferred in mid-ocean to a
French vessel bound for Seattle.
He finally landed there and went
to the Odd Fellows hospital. where
he remained ten days resting and
re~cuperating.
Heathcoat says that at the time
of his leaving Mexico he had So
900 on deposit In the Bank Of Ma
zatlsn, not a cent Of which has
been paid to him. WheB he struck
out on foot, after his fight with the
Mexicsns, he had $14.25 in his
pocket. When he was taken on
board the English ship, the bottoms

COTTON GOSSIP

NEW YORK. Jan. q. THE first hour
the market was featureless with trading
light. Around II o'clock Wall street
brokers became free sellers, which start
ed the ring, who. seemed to be awaiting
something to sell on.
The opening of the cotton market was
teatureless, Sentiment is mixed and
II looks as If the edge of the market
Is off. Wall street was probably the
leading seller after the call.
Lester was a good seller. which was
thought to be for Shearson & Hammill.
The ring sold. Mitchell was the prn-
cipal buyer.

weather over the entire belt; no rain.
Indications are for unsettled to scat
tered rains in the belt except fair in
the Atlantics and possibly in Alabama.
The New Orleans Times Democrat
says: The present position of the cot
ton market is not of a kind to stir the
imagination of the general public, and
news about the old crop is almost a
back number, and there can be no i'm
portant news about the new crop for
some weeks.
ITO be sure, there is much talk of
bad seed and there seems to be no
count that TINS item will cut a great
figure later on, but sufficient unto the
day is the dope thereof
In the Weanwhile. experts ask them
selves with ever-increasing anxiety how
the worlds spindles are to be fed out OF
a supply which is. to a certain extent,
an optical delusion. For an unprece-
dented part of the remnant consists of
stuff which must find abnormal uses,
and which must consequently be sold on
a basis sufficiently low to attract out
side buyers. And every unhealthy con
diton of things might exist in the con-
tract market If much OF the rainbow
like punk has been hedged
Theorists have assumed that con
sumption would be restricted in the au-
tomato fashion, which experience has
made so familiar. but there is as yet
no sign of this necessary process. on
the contrary, the exports from day to
day and week to week show not the
slightest slackening in the demand. and
II is question how far the drain can
be carried without causing an upheaval
from which even New York could not
hope to escape "

HAYWARD g. cGARk,S


NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 27-The ad l.
vance here yesterday of sc in spot came
as surprise. While it was known that
spot demand was good, few suspected
that the spit situation had ebcome so
strong as TO result in a price advance.
Futures, however, failed to be aroused
by the upward course of spot quota
tons and are now trading at a dis
count of more than half a cent This
for by the absolute inactivity of the
speculative element. which has appa-
rently not yet emerged from its ultra =
cautious attitude. Every morning. how
ever, the press is filed with reports
OF improvement in every line of trade,
and this trend in general affairs toward
activity and prosperity should also sup
ply the contract market with a leader
and start, which seems all that is now
needed for an advance.
The market this morning opened a
little easier. to harmonic with LIVER
pool and New York, but soon rallied TO
yesterdays closing figures, and ruled
quiet but steady. Feeling Is bullish and
there is, of course. no desire to sell at
prevailing discounts. but there is abso-
lutely no speculative activity at the
moment. This peculiar conditions seems
to exist in Liverpool also, where spots
to-day were unchanged with large
sales: total 10000 bales; while futures
closed as much as down without any
special reason.
A good spot inquiry was reported here
early in the day at prevailing quotations /;
low grades selling well. The movement
continues large, but is going straight
through to ships and mills.
The decrease in stocks on our side is
becoming more rapid.

Rycroft. OF Bartlett Frazier Co, says:
Our advices lead us TO believe that the
stock of corn in the country elevators
through Iowa are largely exhausted and
that farmers show little disposition TO
sell, The mild damp character of the

corn, and 1t is not keeping well on the
farm, while country dealers are afraid
to buy and ship under such conditions
or quality. as long as this weather con-

have reason to believe, that the advices
