TOLD IN REVENGE
 SAYS MR. EVANS

Denying that she knew J. H. Duff, Mrs Anna Evans yesterday branded as a deliberate falsehood the story that her divorce proceedings had been in stituted because of domestic triangle.
 T do not know MT. Duff" declared Mrs. Evans.
 She stated that she had heard of Duff through a business transaction he had with her husband, Jack" Ev- ans, from whom she is seeking a legal separation on the grounds that he threatened to kill her. Whatever diff ficulty Evans had with Duff, she said, was over business.
 q do not know the man." she in- sisted.
 The story cast no reflection upon Mrs. Evans, though she says it was in tended by her husband to do so as a measure of spite because of the dl- vorce suit.

IRepublIcan A. p. Leased Wirel

TUCSON, May 10--Trouble is threat ened between Papago Indians and Mex jeans along the Arizona border as the result of an impasse between Mexican and Indian eattlemen. Indians declare that the Mexcans have refused to al low them to cross into Mexico to round up cattle which have strayed from the American side. The Indians retaliated by refusing to allow Mexi- cans to cross into Arizona to round up their stray steers.
 These reprisals are connected by some of the Indians with the filling of a well that is being bored in the ln- dian oasis cattle country. The ln- 'lians have resolved to appeal to Washington and are represented as being determined to have their cattle The Indian country adjoins Mexico.

LAKE CARRIERS DISCUSS
BIG COMBINATION

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 19-The Lake
Carriers Association will hold its an
nual convention here tomorrow, and
many of the vessel owners have al
ready arrived. The principal topic
of talk is the combination which is
reported to be taking. over the lake
lines owned by the railroads. This
syndicate, said to be backed by Buffa-
10, Cleveland and Chicago capital,
will take over not only the vessels
which the railroads operated, but
their terminal facilities, so that from
present appearances, the independ-
ents may be in about the same posi-
tion in lake traffic that they occupied
in previous years. Under the Panama
Canal act, the railroads were forced
to give up their lake lines, and it is
understood that all have done so ex-
cept the Lehigh Valley, which will
bring test case to ascertain whether
the law applies in their particular
case.
