KIDNAPPED BY INDIANS
Eight Austrians Captured and Held
Off Pacific by Lummi Red Men.

Bellingham, Wash, May 2.-Local
fishermen and county authorities to-
day were preparing to seek the as
sistance of the United States marshal
to secure the release of Captain
Acostilanovich and seven other Aus
TRAN fishermen, made prisoners in
Hale's Pass yesterday by Lummi In
dams and taken captive to the Indian
reservation on Lummit Island, near
here. The sheriff of Whatcom county
was appealed to last night to rescue
the fishermen, who surrendered when
surrounded by a band of Indians
armed with rifles but the sheriff said
he could do nothing as the reservation
was outside of state jurisdiction. 1t
was believed the Indians would
promptly give up their captives if con-
fronted by a federal officer. No fear
is felt for the safety of the men.
The state fish commissioner, who
gave permission to the white men to
fish in the Hales Pass. said the In
dams probably would be prosecuted
for kidnapping.
The trouble yesterday was the cul-
mination of a long series of disputes
between the Lummi Indians and the
state authorities and white fishermen
over the Indians claim to exclusive
fishing rights in Hale's Pass.

FINE BUILDINGS WRECKED

Dublin, May 2.-The military au-
thorities believe the casualties in the
recent revolt will exceed 500, counting
both sides. There We're more than 100
wounded Sim Feiners in the College
of Surgeons and 10 dead were found
in a rebel stronghold that the soldiers
captured at the junction of Pembroke
and Lansdowne roads.
Near the postoffice II Sim Feiners
were shot in their tracks as they ran
from their improvised munitions shop,
which had burst into flames from the
shells of a field gun.
Further inspection of the devasta-
ton wrought in Dublin has caused the
first estimate of the damage to be
doubled. 1t is now thought to amount
to $2O,O00,000.
Fine Buildings Destroyed.
OF some expensive buildings in the
most handsome part of the city only
a few Orders remain standing amid a
heap of wreckage. Sackville, Middle
Abbey, Abbey Mary and Henry streets
are scene of devastation. Eight
shells helped to wreck the Y. NJ. c. A.
building, while the handsome new
postoffice is a mere skeleton The
Catholic club and the blind institution
were also damaged by shell fire.
Jacobs factory was the last of the
rebel stronghoIdS in Dublin to be
taken. 1t held out longer than any of
the others because its garrison was
cut off from communication with the
rest of the city and received no word
of the surrender of the chiefs of the
revolution. Not until subdued by a
battery of 6-inch guns did they cease
their fusillade from the windows and
roof and surrender to the beleaguering
soldiers.
Law Books BreaStworkS.
In the Four Courts, which the revo-
lutionists had held for a week, every
window was broken and valuable law
books had been piled up for breast
works against the bullets of the mill
tary.
The last revolutionary force to sur
render was the particularly stubborn
one at Enniscorthy, the prolonged
resistance of which will doubtless be
celebrated long in song and story. The
men of Enniscorthy succumbed to a
large body of troops supported by
field artillery and machine guns.

Pershing's report, but whether in the forenoon or in the afternoon, was not stated. It was regarded as probable that it was in the morning for the ac tion which followed for five hours in- cluded cross country chase that could not have well been made after dark The four men lost by Colonel Dodd were enlisted men.
 It is known at General Funston's headquarters that Villa and large force of his men were in that part of the country. Reports that he had at tackled the small garrison at Guerrero and had killed more than TO of Ca rranza's soldiers had been confirmed, and it also was reported that he had occupied Minaca, a short distance south of Guerrero. General CavaZos, com mander of the CarranZa forces operat- ing in that district, had reported to his
 government a skirmish with Villa s men at Guerrero.
 Scouts had brought to General
 Pershing information that made him believe that the concentration that Villa had under way resulted in the gathering of several hundred men and the hope that he was prepared to make a stand was high when the news o1 Col Dodd's attack was received.

Rich Tungsten Prospects One of the Contributing Causes; Money Loose and Development Goes On Apace In All Camps

Yavapai coun.y is booming; Pres colt looks like the mining center it was six years ago before the big times; the discovery of rich tungsten deposits, combined with high prices has created furore of development in the north. All this is the news brought to Phoe- nix yesterday by Joe P. Dillon, U. S. marshal and Jasper Nellis, mining man and former baseball manager of the Phoenix team. Each gives off waves of hot enthusiasm over the great pros perity that is developing in the pine clad county.
 Prescott has had a reawakening that is little short of marvellous, according to Dillon, who has just finished attend ance at the session of the federal court there. Everywhere, the city is hum ming with mining news, and prospec- tors are again the center of interest Money is plentiful and development is being pushed with all possible speed Tungsten is responsible for more than half the excitement, according to Nellis, who is back from several
 months spent on Turkey Creek and | that vicinity Copper development is l remarkable, and the gold fever at Oat-
 man is still above normal, but it is the recent series of tungsten strikes tha, has added the most spice to life in the far and wolly wilds

Details of the action were not sent
 by General Pershing but the fact that
 it was continued for five hours indi-
 cated a stiff resistance although great
 part of that. time was employed in the
 chase of the fleeing Mexicans into the
 hills. North and east of Guerrero there
 is cluster of mountains that the Mex
 jeans appear to have been trying to get into but their temporary safety there probably will be short now that their location is known. t, None of the four Americans was ser iously injured No mention of wounded MeXicanS was made in the brief official report, but it was believed that when more detailed account arrives it will show many wounded. The report added l that a number of horses, saddles and arms had been captured. General 1 Elisio HerandeZ was reported killed and a man believed to be Pablo Lope i who commanded the bandits that
 killed seventeen Americans at Santa
 Ysabel and who was enormously re- ported killed in the fight at Columbus, was reported wounded.
 l After the fight at Guerrero and in it's environs the Americans released sev- eral MeXicans who said Villa had been | holding them for execution.

Official Report of Battle

SAN ANTONIO, March 31.-Thirty of Villas soldiers killed, four American soldiers wounded and more than 450 Mexicans dispersed after a running fight that extended over ten miles. is the condensed summary of the story of the first engagement between the forces of the American punitive expedition and Francisco Villa.
 Colonel George Dodd surprised one hundred of Villas men at Guerrero March 29. His was the smaller force, comprising attachments of the Seventh and Tenth cavalry, but without wait ing he began the attack that was fin ished five hours later when the Villa force had been chased into the hills northeast of Guerrero and was broken into small bands.
 General Pershing's report reached General Funston today. It was filed at San Geronimo but whether General Pershing. was still there today was re- garded as unlikely by army officers here, and less likely that Colonel Dodd was at Guerrero. Villa was not with the defeated force and Colonel Dodd to it's utmost to run him down before opportunity was found for him to con- centrate his scattered men. It was re- ported to army headquarters here that Villa was wounded, that one of his legs was broken and one of his hips badly bruised. The character of his reported injuries suggested that perhaps he had been injured in falling from his horse rather than by gunshot as has been unofficially reported.

CURIOUS M|X-U IN
 LOCAL HORSE DEAL
E. w. Mcclellan, Located in Denver; Valley Breeders Say Were
 His Victims.

E. w. Mcclellan, who last Novem- Der made an $500 purchase of horses in this valley with the loss of $500 to the horse owners, has been locat- ed in Denver, according to the word received here yesterday by County Attorney Clyde M. Candy.
 J. H. Dobson was the heaviest los CT by the transactions of Mcclellan, having sold a span of mules for S250 to the man who said he repre- scented Cox and Pickins of Joplin III. Among the other victims were H. R. Boshing and J. R. Lambert.
 There seems to be some question as to where the guilt should be plac- ed and when that problem has been thrashed out the local courts will probably take some action.
 Mcclellan came here early in the fall to buy war horses for the firm of Cox and Pickins. He signed the name of the well known horse buy CTS to checks which were subse- quently honored. He made a later trip to Phoenix and made a larger purchase again signing the checks as before. Cox and Pickins," by E. w Mcclellan. He left immediately af- terward and the checks were moi honored by the Joplin firm, which declared he was not authorized 1T his second purchase. Mcclellan al leges that he took the cattle to Jop. lin, but owing to some infection { quarantine did not make it advisable for him to unload there and he tool the cattle on to Denver The stocl was sold at auction for s400 Ht charges that he was acting under or. ders and that Cox and Pickins should pay the checks since they received the proceeds.
