The Text of the Resolutions

Whereas Mr.. William :. Benton. a
OF the state Of chihuahua and subject
OF Great Britain. was brutally muir
dered and assassinated II Juarez,

citizens OF FL Paso. Tex. and refugees
from Mexico. at an indignation meet
ing held in FL Paso. February 20.
1914. wishing to protest most emphat-
ically against the cruel and violent
treatment which has been accorded
foreigners during the last three years
OF revolution In that country. beg to
submit to the world and the American
people the following brief statement
OF facts:
The cold biooded and hear,less
assassination OF William s. Benton
without any cause whatever other
than the fact that he went to Juarez
to protest against the confiscation
OF his property. the Los Remedies
ranch in northern Mexico, which has
been repeatedly looted. is but another
crime to be added to the hundreds
that have already been committed
against all foreigners living in Mexico
who have been driven from their
homes. their property destroyed: In
many cases women have been out
ragged and foreigners murdered in cold
blood, and for no other reason than
on account OF their nationality.
We believe that the state Depart
ment at Washington has persistently
suppressed facts concerning the true
conditions in Mexico and ondcavored
through inspired newspaper articles
and by other means to inislead the
American people and form public
opinion for political purposes In sup
port OF policy that is ruinous To all
foreign interests in Mexico and tho
Mexican people themselves.
Hatred Of Americans Blamed.
I'm support OF the statement We
would call attention 10 "a recent arti-
Gle In the New York World which
purported to be semi-of'iclal inter
view coming from the secretary or
states office and which stated that
while great many Americans had
lost their lives In ieXico. not one had
been murdered solely on account OF his
nationality this statement We kno"
to be absolutely false. and We believe
there are reports on file In the state
Department from their own Consuls
to the contrary We recall In the last
few months such cases as the assas-
slnation OF Mr.. Burton at Santa Ro-
saiia, Mr.. Hayes and Mr, Thomas at
MADEIRA and MIR. Brooks In northern
chihuahua, and In every one OF these
cases they were brutally murdered
for no other reason than that they
were American citizens.
Some morths ago the State De-
partment officially declared in one OF
its messages to Mexico that II would
hold the Mexican leaders personally
responsible for outrages committed
against American citizens. At the
present moment our Government Is
harboring Gen. Ynez Salazar, who has

MORE TROUBLE
FOR SUCARMAN

Another chapter will be added to
the celebrated case growing out of
the sale by the Glasgow Western com
pany to the Sugarman Iron & Metal
company of its plant at Golconda last
year tomorrow morning at Carson
City.
Shortly after the deal had been
consummated, trouble arose between
the purchasers and the Glasgow
western, the exact nature of which
the public is not familiar with. At
all events c. G. Smith, superintend-
ent of the plant, is alleged to have
moved portion of the property from
the mill to the postoffice in Golconda
some time last year. Sugarman re-
plevined, when the Glasgow w estern
people gave bond and retained the
property. Sugarman contended that
the bond was insufficient, but was not
upheld in this by the District Court.
Upon going to the Supreme Court,
however, he was sustained About
that time. however, the Glasgow
Western secured an injunction re-
straining Sugarman from removing
any property from the premises. but
as the order said nothing about that
portion of the property which had
been removed to the town of Golcon-
da, he had it shipped out of the state.
Several days ago the Supreme Court
cited Sugarman to appear tomorrow
and show cause why he shall not be
in contempt.

IMMENSE HAY CROP

Ranchers in northern Humboldt

and by next Monday the work viii be
in full blast. There seems to be
plenty of help, there being at present
more hands than there are jobs for.
Wages are the same as last year,
5000 per day, with $3.50 for stack
hands. Last night the st. Elmo free
employment agency sent Is men to
Jungo, to be divided between Red -
Martin and Fred Makinson.
! The crop of hay is unusually large
this year. In the Lovelock valley it
will cut from five to six tons per acre,
with about four tons to the acre at
Golconda and two tons at Paradise
Valley Indications are that Hum
boldt county will have plenty of hay
for sale next winter, as considerable
more will be cut than will be required
TO feed the county's stock.

IT'S A WISE CHILD THAT
KNOWfTH IT'S OWN "a tTHfR"

An unusual case will come up for
decision in the District Court Thurs
day, on an order to show cause why
the estate of Pedro Germain shall not
be distributed. At that time a young
man, attracted by comparatively
small sum of money, will exhaust all
his resources to prove that he is an IL
legitimate son.
On June l, 1911, Pedro Germain
was killey in a Jordan valley hay
field, by a derrick falling on him. He
left an estate, included in which were
three lots,situated at West Fourth and
Lay streets, Winnemucca, in what is
locally known as "Spanish Row. -
The estate was settled up by Chris
Wolf, public administrator, and after
paying the debts and expenses of ad
ministration, there remained the sum
of about $1,000.
Then came one Rafailo Ruiz, a
hucaro, better known throughout the
northern part of the county as
"Chino,' who claimed to be cousin
of deceased and stated further that he
was the only living relative. He
petitioned the Court to have the es-
tate distributed and the residue turn
ed over to himself as the only living
heir.
Hearing of this proceeding, Peter
Farra Certain, a sheepherder by oc-
cupation, came all the way from
North Yakima, Washington, to con
test this proceeding and annex the
coin for his own personal benefit,
claiming to be an illegitimate son of
Germain. This contention is vehe-
mently denied by Ruiz, who claims
that he will prove Germans parent
age to the entire satisfaction of the
Court and show that he is in no way
related to deceased.
At the hearing Thursday Ruiz will
be represented by Judge Langwith
and German by Salter & Robins.
