Haney. Tenino pOsseman, who was
slain in the hunt of l. W. w murder
suspects in the Hannaford valley last
Saturday afternoon. died from the
fire of his own comrades through an
accidental brush between separated
parties, it was learned tonight when
the body of the deputy was brought
here.
Possemen who fired upon Haney
believed that they were being ap-
approached by the fugitive radicals,
armed and desperate. according to
their story.
Those who returned tonight with
Haney's body say they encountered no
signs of Bert Bland, Ole Hansen and
third l. w. w, who are believed, on
evidence and confessions to have fled
into the Businesses of southern Thurs
ton county and northern Lewis county
They heard considerable firing, the
possemen said, at remote points in the
heavy timber but were unable to learn
whether the searchers were in touch
with the armistice day murder sus-
poets
Haney was among the first of the
possemen to penetrate to the Hanna
ford river headwaters country and
the vicinity of Hunters Cabin, where
three fugitive participants in the arm
istice day crime were believed to be
lurking, according to word brought
here today.
The first party to reach the cabin
was one of four men which had sepa-
rated from Haney and three COM
rades. They approached the log
structure and found 1t untenanted
Withdrawing a little distance they
awaited the arrival of the second de

companions neared the cabin, Haney

There was little opportunity for dis

growth of timber and brush and
members of the first detachment per-
ceived only the form of a man moving
cautiously nearer to the open plot be-
fore the cabin.
Members of the first quartet say
they cried out 2 command to halt At
this Haney appeared to be startled
and turned to run for cover. The
posseman stationed near the cabin
opened fire, 1t was said, and at the
first rifle crack Haney plunged for

yAOU|S DEMAND
CONCESSIONS To
CEASE FIGHTING


Douglas, Ariz.. Nov. 17.-Gen. Mi
guel S. Samieniego, personal represent
ative of Adolfo De La Hderta, COVER
nor of Sonora, to effect peace with the
Yaquis, was stopped in Aqua Prieta
today while on his way to Hermosillo
to confer with the governor, by a
message informing him of the critical
illness of his father at Bavispe He
left at once for his fathers bedside.
General Samieniego refused to talk
about his mission, but from friends 1t
was learned that while he did not get
directly in touch with the Indians, he
learned that certain concessions would
have to be made if peace was to be
brought about and intended to confer
with the governor on these points.
An auto truck reached Nacozari,
seventy eight miles south of the bor-
der, late Saturday with fifteen federal
soldiers wounded in a fight with va
ouis twelve miles north of Sanuaripai
several days previously. The Indians
were said to have lost heavily in this
engagement and to nave been driven
further south.
Five federal forces were reported TO
be converging on the point where the
main body Of the hostile Indians is be-
lieved to be, intending to force the In
rians to surrender, or If possible, to
exterminate them.
The raid upon Bacarahuichi, a vii
lage of one thousand Inhabitants
November l. was told here today for
the first time in detail by arrivals.
Stealthily entering the town early in
the morning the Indians, 263 in num-
Der took it without a fight. Forty
leading citizens were taken to thy
plaza and held as hostages while tire
remainder of the band looted stores
and homes. This being the first time
in Sonora's history that a Yaqui had
appeared on the eastern bank of the
Bavispe, and the town not having been
disturbed for almost five years, 1t
was a rich loot. The Indians prepared
shoulder packs to carry on their backs
and large bundles of food, clothing
and bedding to be carried on their
pack animals.
The people were stripped of cloth
ing and a general massacre appeared
imminent when Lieut.. Col, Gilberto G.
Limon led federal force into the
town After q sharp fight in which
fifteen Yaquis were killed the Indians
were driven out. Three of the federals
were killed and number wounded.
Vicente Carbajal, an aged and wealthy
resident of the town, was found
among the dead. while several citizens
were wounded.

ALONG BOUNDARY

lBI MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED WIRE
Ell Paso, Texas, Nov. 17-Radical
literature in great quantities is being
distributed among the thousands of
Mexican laborers in states bordering
the International boundary and also
is being sent into the interior of Mex
leo by Industrial Workers of the
World and sympathizers with the
soviet rule in Russia, government Of
ficials here said today.
At Morenci, Arizona, a Mexican was
arrested for radical activities, in Ari-
zona mining camps where a pamphlet
printed in Spanish that is practically
a reprint of the Russian soviet consti-
tuition, had been widely circulated.
The pamphlet advocated nationaliza-
tion of all industry and land in Mexi-
co, free love and overthrow of exist
ing governments.
This pamphlet together with trans
lations into Spanish of l. w. w liter
ature is being given wide distribution
in Mexico, according to border Off
cials, and particularly are I. w. w.
agents and Russian sympathiZers be-
ing sent into Mexico wherever strikes
are in progress.
Government officials along the
border long have been investigating
radical activities among Mexicans
brought to this country during the
war as laborers. These laborers are
now being sought out by government
agents and as rapidly as found re-
turned to Mexico. Many of them, 1t
was said today, are returning as pro-
pagandists and organizers for the T..
w. w.
Spread of radicalism in Mexico IS
growing rapidly, according to travel
ers reaching the border. Mining men
and ranch operators recently have re-
ported trouble with their workers who
profess belief in naturalization.

morning while his parents were asleep,
from the effects of burns caused by
an electric warming pad placed on his
chest during the night by his mother

degrees of heat.
