of land in the Yaqui country, much OF
which is claimed by the Indians.
The Yaaui tribes were originally
agricultural people with a bent for
hunting in the mountains during the
winter. They are stocky, sturdy and
possess many of the traits of the
American Indian. Fighting has lately
been one of their chief occupations as
they have been on the warpath either
in their own interest or for the va

During the DAYS of President Dia7
the YaQuis were dispossessed of mucr
of their fertile valley lands by Gen.
eral Torres. the federal governor Of
Sonora. Large numbers were deport.
ed from the state by boat to the hot
lands Of Yucatan and to Tres Marias
island. off the coast of Topic. This
was one of the chief grievances which
caused the Yaqui war. This war con.
tinued until the outbreak Of the Ma
dero revolution when the Indian:
Joined with Madero against thei1
sworn enemies Of the old federal
regime.
They did much of the hard fighting
during the Madero and subsequent
revolutions. especially at Celaya
where they were General Obregon's
chief mainstay when Villa and his
powerful army attacked the en-.
trenched positions of Obregon's Car
rama force. The Yaquis were given
much of the credit for this victory
which shattered Villas dream of DO
litical power and drove him back to
the border. At Aqua Prieta, Sonora

Villa and causing him to revert to his

YAQU INDIAN IS
TROUBLE MAKER
Recent Outbreaks of Warlike Tribe
Only One Of Large Number
Of Last Decade.

Hermosillo. Mex.-The Yaqui In
dian has been the troublemaker Of
northwestern Mexico for generations
and his recent outbreak is but one OF
a large number which have occurred
during the administrations of Diaz,
Madero and other leaders.
Starting with the Bronco Yaquis
along the Rio Yaqui in southwestern
Sonora early in September, the re-
volt has spread to. many of the allied
tribes. including the Mansos YaquiS,
who have been peaceful in the past
and who derived their names from the
fact they worked with their hands.
In the rich Yaqui river valley Of
southwestern Sonora the Indian up
rising has had it's center. The Indian
towns of Potam. Vacuum, Bacum, La
Colorado and SuaQui Grande have
been scenes of various Indian raids
and Mexican federal troops have been
unable to make any great Roadway in
conquering these warning tribesmen
The revolt reached its height after the
fall harvests of corn beans and gar
banjo had been harvested. Store
houses where these crops were put
away for the winter were looted and
the Indians extended their field of op-
erations far into the north toward
Hermosillo. the capital. Ammunition
and rifles were smuggled across the
Sonora border for them and Sumber
of engagements fought between the
Yaquis and the federals resulted in
the routing Of the government troops
The basic cause of the unrest among
these southwestern Mexico Indians is
the land problem. At one time these
Indians owned and titled thousands OF
acres of the most fertile land in the
republic which was watered by the
Yaqui river. These, lands were grad
ually confiscated by the various gov
ernments and parceled out to favor
ties of the ruling powers. The In
dams claim they were given inferior
lands in place of their original hold
ings and insist upon the restoration OF
these tribal holdings. One American
company now controls 100000 acres

hands, but after tussle Mrs. Kirk
man managed to get word to the pO-
lice.
The girl then picked up table
knife and lunged at Mrs. Kirkman
but the latter was too quick for her
and seized her. forcing her to drop
the weapon. The girl next ran into
the kitchen and seized large butcher
knife, daring all within her hearing
to come and take her. Her father, in

Frank Wheeler, Who Just Loves
to Beat Up Policemen.
BRAGS IN COURT OF HIS FEATS
Four Other Prisoners Pleaded Guilty
Before Judge n. A. Larson and
Are Sentenced.
BRAGS IN COURT OF HIS FEATS

Frank Wheeler of Macomb. ILL.,,
whose one purpose in life has been to
beat and break up police officers in
uniform, was arraigned in county
court this morning on an assault and
battery charge The strong arm of the
law dealt very lightly with Wheeler.
Judge N. A. Larson fined him 500 and
costs. Being unable to pay he will
serve 67 days in the county jail,
which is indeed light sentence for
one of his type.
With the spirit of braggard,
Wheeler recounted his battles with
police officers in Macomb, telling how
he had bitten the nose of the chief
of police there and kicked in the ribs
of two or three other policemen.
Wheeler told the same tale in police
court several weeks ago. He has been
arrsted three times in Rock Island for
resisting an officer and gets into
trouble every time he comes to this
city.
efforts of Patrolmen Shannon and
Smith and bystander to bring him
to the station, and then not until two
clubs had been broken over his head
The police had hoped Wheeler would
be put away for safe keeping at Joliet,
branding him menace to public
safety. Wheeler fights like a maniac
when he has been drinking, possess
ing the strength of three ordinary
men. Wheeler's case was referred to
the county court by the grand jury.
Wheeler was bound over on a charge
of resisting an officer. The grand jury
modified this to read assault and bat
terry.
Thank you. judge" said Mcclellan
Moody, 17year-old Negro boy in court
when Judge Larson sentenced him to
serve 60 days on charge of using an
automobile belonging to George w.

with Moody on this escapade, was
placed on probation. Both pleaded
guilty to the charge against them.
Couple Sentenced.
Elmer Whitfield and Bernice Bluggen-

serve 60 days and the girl 80 days.

OF the old-fashioned pantaloons. Peo-
pie numbering almost fifty followed
the would-be fashion setter in her So

scrambled over one another to get 4
look and women played their bargain
counter attacks and boldly gazed on
the center of attraction.
For women who are querious, the
pantaloons were made Of heavy silk
in. a bloomer effect and were tied
about the ankles with.a neat silk cord.
Beneath the cord ruffe effect pre-
vailed and hung over the shoe tops.
Who knows but that in blizzard

protectors will be visible on the
streets of Rock Island?
