COWBOYS RUSH TO HALT
 UPRISING BY INDIANS
Thriller of Days Gone By Being Staged in Arizona
 Mountains.

Globe, Ariz., Aug. 8.-A force of m mounted rangers led by Deputy SherlI Dan Armer was expected to reach the scene today of the Apache Indian up- rising in the Sierra Anchas mountains, 50 miles northwest of here, where nine white men, employees of the asbestos mines in that region, were reported to be surrounded by mob Of more than 100 striking Indian and Mexican miners, while a forest fire set by the Indians was sweeping the mountains.
 Other forces of cowboys and forest rangers are hurrying to the imperilled white mems assistance from the Tonto and from Roosevelt while still others they expected to obtain horses for the ride to the mines.
 First news of the trouble which began yesterday when the Indians and Mexicans employed in the mine went out on strike for higher pay was re- ceived last night in a telephone mes- same from 8. forest ranger who had ridden 25 miles to give the alarm. The ranger reported that the Indians had set fire to the forests and had been prevented from burning the mine buildings only by prompt action of the guards.
 Another telephone message said the nine white men in the camp had been driven into a dugout on the mountain side and were surrounded by the In- dtans and Mexicans The men in the dugout were said to be supplied with only a few rounds of ammunition and a small quantity of provisions and 1t was feared that they would not be able to withstand the combined assault of the strikers and the forest fire.
 Because of the lack of communica- ton, all messages having to be carried 25 miles to g. telephone, details of the uprising are not yet known but reports indicated that two organizers of the I. w. w., one 8 Mexican who spoke Apache, had been working among the men for the last week and had insti- gated the strike

DESAULLES CRIME
 FIRST DEGREE CASE
District Attorney Says Chilean DiYorCee Premeditated Murder
STATEMENT TO THE PRESS
Prosecutor Weeks Points to Revolver
 as Damaging Evidence Against on Account of WOman's Health.

Mineola, Aug. s.-By way of out lining the prosecution of Mrs. Blanca De Saulles, in jail here for killing her divorced husband, John L. De Saulles, District Attorney Charles R. Weeks made statement here today to the newspaper men in which he said the murder had been carefully planned.
 If the murder was not prem ed- itated, why did Mrs. De Saulles go to her former husbands home carry ing a revolver?" asked the district attorney. That the woman carried the weapon for protection is not true as she was accompanied by the taxi cab driver and her maid. The crime was not the impulse of the moment. but was pre-arranged. Her only mo- tive in the visit was to shoot De Saulles'
 Mrs. Caroline Degner, with whom the young son of Mrs. De Saulles is staying at Westbury, said today that the boy is in the best of health and happy. Permission to visit his moth er she said, rests with Charles Heck scher, relative of De Saulles.
 Removed to Better Quarters.
 Mrs. De Saulles has been removed from the cell she had occupied to a room in the sheriff's apartments of the building on the recommendation of pr. Cleghorn, the county physi- elan, that she should have better care. Dr. Cleghorn said:
 Mrs. De Saulles is thin and wasted and weighs less than 100 pounds. She will have to be built up and kept under observation, but there is no reason why this should not be done where she is. If she fails to respond to treatment and grows worse here, the question of removing to a hos pital can be taken up again."
 Dr. Cleghorn said further it would do the woman a great deal of good to see her son and that only when his name was mentioned did she dis play the slightest interest in any thing.
 The funeral services for De Sa aulles were held today

sight a pistol, but his anger and the
condition of nervous system wrecked
by prolonged debauches rendered fu-
tile all his efforts to level the weapon
and take steady aim.
1t was her Donald whom this crea-
ture sought to kill.
Gently dlsengaging. she looked up
steadily into her lovers eyes.

voice, do something to please me-"
"As If you needed to ask"

"As you wish, my dear girl"
Profoundly perplexed, yet never for

singular request, Donald strobe off
briskly toward the shore.
Alone with the fear of death, Patria
steeled herself against the worst.
The man Edouard broke through the

crept down to the beach and launched
her canoe. 1t was a matter of several
miles, but she made nothing of the
cruise to the beach beneath the cliffs
crowned by her summer home.
Effecting a landing there as secret
as her launching had been. she dragged
the canoe up on the sands, hugged the
cloak more tightly round her, and with
a delicious shiver of daring sought the
private flight of steps that zigzagged
up to the grounds of the Claiming cot
tage.
AT the top Patria sought the friendly
shelter of the nearest shadows, then
made furtive way towards the house.
There were on the ground a dozen
coigns of vantage known to Patria
whence spying would be practicable
and safe.
In the nearest of these. close by the
wide veranda, she resigned herself to
wait with far less coinposure than her
motionless pose might have been taken
to indicate.
Even so, her patience was not Sc
verely taxed Within very few min
utes the light in one of the French
windows of the drawing-room was
twice eclipsed, as two people came
out and began slowly to pace the YER
anda, side by side-Elaine and the un-
.speakable Juan de Limai
Moonlight flooded the face and fig
ure of the changellng with unearthly
brilllance. Patria could have cried out
in amaze, so extraordinary seemed the
vision she gazed upon.
De Lima wooed her after the manner
of his kind, ardently, crudely. with
patent Intention. Inchlng closer, he es-
sayed to kiss her.
But Elaine would not suffer him.
That's as far as you'll go ~ she told
him, in the choice of words that came
most naturally to her. I'm going to
marry you-yesl Marrying you is part
of my contract with Huroki-I wish
to God 1t wasn't. I'll go through with
1t because l agreed to, but-lay Off me
whenever we're alone. Marriage Is
one thlng-kisses are something else
again ~
She swung brusquely back through
the window. With an tmprecation In
his native tongue, the Mexican fol-
lowed.
Patria stepped back and sought n
way round to n point whence she
might see through the windows. Taking
