 TUCSON. Feb. 2S-Facing term of ten years in the federal penitentiary or d fine of 5000, four freight trainmen attached to the Tucson division of the Southern Pacific are now confined in the county jail on warrants sworn out by a special agent of the company be- fore United States Commissioner Ed win F. Jones.
 The men are, E. B. Winkler, J. J. Smallev. A. B. Crute. conductors, and Charles G. Harrison, brakeman, all running on the Yuma-G Gila freight di vision They are charged with break ing into and robbing box cars. The warrants were sworn to by special of ficer F. E. Smith.
 It is known that more warrants have been issued but as some of these must still be served the officials refuse to say how many have been issued.
 Search warrants were issued by Justice of the Peace Comstock and in the rooms of some of the men were found. corsets. shoes, cigars and silk hosiery. It is said that the railroad officials have positively identified these goods as having been taken from box cars and they will be able to produce witnesses to show just when these goods were taken and from exactly which car.
 The men were placed under arrest Sunday and were taken before Com missioner Jones at ne-thirty Monday morning.
 The commissioner told the four men that he had caused them to be brought before him in order that they could be instructed as to their rights and to as certain when they would be ready to proceed with the investigation. Attorneys Tom Ritchey and Charles 1 L. Hardy represented the men and said that they would be ready Thursday. ! Commissioner Jones then announced that he would be forced to give the United States officials the same rights and would tentatively set the case for trial Thursday, providing this would be ' satisfactory to United States Attorney Finn. If, however. Finn would be un- i able to be on hand at that time he would postpone the hearing so that the United States officials could be on 1 hand.
 He then set the bail at $500 and on i the plea of Ritchie that this seemed to be high he told Ritchie that this was an infamous case and by the act of February 1913 was punishable by a l heavy penalty and that in similar cases the bail had been placed at $2500 but that he had set the bail at $500 be- cause he thought this was sufficient to bring the men into court and that was the purpose of fixing a bond i Ritchie immediately withdrew his ob i jection
 The commissioner also instructed the men that they could be seen by their ! friends and that during these meetings they would be under guard of an off cer standing close by but that their at torneys could see them in private al |

 While Washington may, for diplo- matic reasons. accept the official version of the court martial at which the rebels are alleged to have tried Benton and found him guilty of at tempting Villas life, there is no dis position among Benton's friends to change their verdict of murder. They are working tirelessly with some hope of finding a witness to the shooting whose word may be re- i lied upon. There is said to be evil dence that an American witnessed the shooting. but that his associa- tions with the rebels make it un- likely he will speak unless unusual pressure is brought to bear upon him.
 The federal junta. which has ener- getic secret agents at work, as well as many sympathizers, are engaged in an attempt to ascertain the truth for the purpose of discrediting the constitutionalists aE

Miner Is Found,
 AHve Although
 Imprisoned Week
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH l


 SEATTLE, Feb. 23.-NIike Davasco- nick, one of the two coal miners en- tombed week ago in the Cannon mine at Franklin and given up for dead sev- eral days ago was rescued alive today. Although terribly weakened from hunger. the mine physicians say there is every prospect he will soon recover his normal strength.
 Since the cave-in last Monday, gangs of men have been working night and day to recover the bodies of the two men buried in the mine. The body of Andrew Chernick was recovered from under a heap of stone and gravel last Thursday. Although all hope of res cuing Davasconick alive was given up at the time the rescue squads were kept at work to recover the body.
 Late today the workers removed the debris which blocked the chamber in which Davasconick was working at the time of the accident and discovered the miner alive. He had lived for a week on the contents of his dinner pail He was able to obtain water from the seepage in the chamber

 Utah Dam Gone, Maybe
 From Utah comes the report that the Utah canals dam in the Salt river one of the independent diversion plants be- low Granite Reef. may have been washed out by the Verdes flood. The water yesterday was so high how ever, that it was impossible to tell if the dam withheld the pressure or not. The water will have to recede several feet yet before this is found out. No news was obtainable from other inde- pendent dams in the river, but it is supposed that with few exceptions, the wasting flood waters have swept those before them.
 At Center Street Bridge
 Visitors at the Center street bridge yesterday, enjoyed seeing the force of the telephone company fish "talkie'' wires out of the river and restring new poles hurriedly erected. The wind which hit the section late Sunday even ing broke off two of the poles near the river at the bottow, and the wires were dragging down in the water when line men got to the spot They dragged out the wires with grapples and strung them so as to again have communica- tion with the south side.
 The approach to the bridge on the south side was fairly safe at sundown last evening, the water having quit cut ting away. the earth built in to protect it, and the filling made by hurridly employed gangs Sunday, was affording sufficient protection. However, the rise of a few feet, which is forecasted for tonight, may bring the river high enough to cover the south approach and take away the filling between the high ground and the bridge proper.
 At the present time a gang of men | is employed at the bridge tearing out
