GIVE TESTIMONY IN
 CLAIM CASES
Heirs of Freiehtcrs Seeking Damages fer Apach ( Raids-Attorneys Return to Capital After Testi- mony Completed

Memories of the days when Tucson was a frontier village tucked away in the center of a hostile Indian country. were recalled by the taking of testimony in the claims of the heirs of Alphonse CFTenchie) Lazard. and the widow of Nacero Ortez, against the government or the United States on account of depredations committed by the Apache Indians in the sixties. The claims are for $35,- GOO and $7.G00. respectively, says the Arizona Star.
 The claimants in the cases are represented by Attorneys Harry pey- ton of Washington. l.. C. and A. A. Worsley of Tucson, and tine taking of testimony has ranged over d period of several years More than fifteen of the pioneer citizens of Tue son testified here during the last few days. telling stories of the times when the west was young. and re calling the deeds of daring of the ,ld days which helped to build an empire in the southwest.
 Both L. gard and Ortez were frei-htcrs in the olden days and the alleged losses that were suffered by them in the Apache upTisinSs stretch cd over period of several years The claims include losses of stock and merchandise. and damages for The killing and iniuring of drivers. The cases of the two men first came up more than twenty years ago, but owing to the fact that neither of the claimants was a citizen oc the United States, they could not recover under tl-e law
 Tn the course of the years the claimants passed away and the claims were almost forgotten when congress at its last session passed q reEula- tion allowing non-citizens of this country damages under the law
 Two nephevs and ore niece of La gard were still living. as was also the widow of Ortez. and the matter of damages was again taken I'D. Most of the eve witnesses to the depreda- tions described in the claims have died. but Senator Worsley has intro duced as evidence at least one depo- sition from an old Mexican.

 Menacing the victims with revol- vers the bandits in blue walked out of the bank, leaped in the machine and fled
 The police impressed a passing mo- tor and gave chase. They sighted the bandits in a park a few blocks away where the robbers left their machine and took cover behind some bushes. An exchange of shots followed, one of the robbers receiving a bullet in the left arm. They broke cover, fled across the park and captured an au- tomobile. They forced the owner. John Hiltscher to drive through a maze of streets to the outskirts of the city where one by one at differ ent points they left the car During the latter stage of the flight they were fired on by citizens warned of their coming.
