POsen, Ill. The husband was making
a good living, selling automobiles, and
the wife worked the little truck farm.
Their nearest neighbors. with one
exception, were several miles distant.
There were two sons at the nearest
neighbOrs, and men of rough character
began to visit this place. One day,
when the husband was absent, these
men abducted his bride. Several days
later he found her at the other house
and, after a hard fight, rescued her
and took her home.
A few evenings later a s~ix-year-old
boy came to Engstrom's house and
begged to be taken in, as the men had
threatened to kill him for telling Eng
strom where they had hidden his wife.
Two members of the gang came after
the boy and in the ensuing fight, Eng
strOm killed the leader. Police say all
the gang are murderers and fugitives
from justice and that the house was
a resort and hiding place for a no.
tOriOus gang of professional murder
ers, many of whom are now In custody
and awaiting trial.

RELICS OF ANCIENT TRAGEDY
Camper In California Makes Interest
Ing Discovery In Pinon Min.
ing District.

Whitewater, Cal.-While on a camp
ing trip in the Painted Hills In the
Pinon mining district, northeast of
here, O. /. Kennedy of San Bernardino
discovered what may prove to be the
relics Of a ~1OO-year-old tragedy.
In an inaccessible spot, but one dis
tinctly visible from the foot trail, In
the face of the mountain, he discovered
a musket and a row OF Indian water
vessels. On examining the weapon
through a high-power glass, it proved
TO be a fiintlOck Of ancient design, and
Kennedy believes from the peculiar
formation Of the stock It is Of Spanish
origin.
Kennedy expects to return In Q short
time with a supply Of ropes by which
he will have himself lowered into the
dry sea cavern where the relics we're
discovered. He brought with him sam
pies of large sea shells, which he gath
cred on the edge Of a great deposit of
shells located at an altitude Of 2,05O

MEXICAN REVOLT
IS SPREADING
WILL RESIST ANY ATTEMPT BY
CARRANZA TO REGAIN
STATE.
SONORA IS REPUBLIC
ALL FEDERAL PROPERTY HAS
BEEN SEIZED At NoGALES
AND Aqua PRIETA.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
NOgales, Sonora, April 12.-CustOW
houses and all property of the federal
government of Mexico have been for
mally seized in the name Of the RE
public of Sonora" here.
The customs house at Aqua Prieta,
across the line from Douglas, Ariz.,
has been seized in the name of the
Sonora state government and armed
mel are guarding the building. The
Immigration office and the p~Ostoffice
also have been taken W. by state
authorities.
The employees of the customs office
and of the other federal departments
have declared their loyalty to the state
government.
Sonora state officials, headed by
Adolpho de Ia Huerta, governor of So
nora, who has been proclaimed "Su-
preme Power Of the Republic of So.
nora" by the State Congress, declared,
while the state had seeded, it would
return to the Mexican republic upon
guarantees from the national admin
istration that there would be no In
fringement of the states rights by the
federal government.
The secession, according to the Off
Gals, was brought about by Carranza
ordering federal troops into the state.
They said the next move was up to
Carranza. Unless he acts, political
leaders of Sonora said, the new repub-
lie would defy the Mexican federal
government and resist with armed
forces any attempt of Carranza to
take back the state by force.
Gen. p. Elias Gales, former COVER
nor of Sonora, and who recently re-
from the Carranza cabinet, has
been made supreme military COM
mander of the states military forces.
has issued a proclamation call
ing for volunteers and calling on all
soldiers in the state to rally against
any threatened invasion by Carranza
Spread of the secession movement
to other states, unless the Mexican
government acts quickly, was fore
cast.
The SinalOa State Congress, accord
ing to information received here, has
Endorsed the action Of the Sonora Con-
in demanding constitutional
rights, and Lower California, accord
ing to these reports, is expected to do
he same. SinalOa politics are closely
interviewer with SonOra's, and both
are largely controlled by Gen.
ObregOn.

RAIL STRIKERS
LOSING GROUND
BREAK REPORTED IN CHICAGO
AND OTHER CITIES, DECLARE
UNION HEADS.
$4,000 RAIL MEN OUT
UNIONS ASK MORE FROM RAIL.
ROADS IN WHICH TO BREAK
STRIKE.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Chicago, April 10.-A break in the
unauthorized strike of switchmen and
enginemen at Chicago, where it start
ed, spreading to a number of cities,
has been announced by A. +. Whitney,
Railroad Trainmen, who conferred
with a committee of strikers from the
Chicago & Northwestern road.
The delegation was said to have
told Mr.. Whitney that a vote would be
taken within twenty-four hours, with
a view to ending the strike on that
railroad. Brotherhood officers said
that a number of strikers had returned
to work, and predicted that the move
ment of freight in the Chicago area
would be nea normal by next week.
Another group Of strikers requested
the mayor of Chicago to take steps
to settle the strike by addressing a
mass meeting of yard employees
Leaders of the insurgents said the
strike not only was not broken, but
would be carried on until a new union
was completed.
Reports from rail centers through
out the country indicated that nearly
10000 railroad men were on strike.
Freight embargoes were declared in a
number of cities. Breaks in the strike
were reported in a few places.
Switchmen and brakemen on the
Missouri Pacific railroad at Sednlla,
Mo-, who walked III in the morning,
returned to work again in the after
noon. Railroad Officers in the New
York area reported that strikers were
returning to New Jersey yards, where
about half the workers struck.
Heads of the brotherhood denounced
the strike as purely an attempt to dis
rupt the old unions. More time In
which to break the strike was asked
in a letter addressed to the Western
Association of Railways by the five big
railroad brotherhoods.
I'VE wish to assure the railroads
with whom we have contracts that it
is our purpose to support the integrity
of these contracts by endeavoring to
protect them to the fullest extent, in
order that the public may not be Sc
inconvenlenced," the letter
said.
I'VE appreciate, however, that owing
to present economic conditions over
which we have no control, and the fact
the situation has been grossly
misrepresented by irresponsible per
who have assumed dictatorship of
an unorganized body of men, it will
be difficult for us entirely TO relieve
the situation until we have had fur
opportunity TO meet and talk with
our members. We believe the railroads
will cooperate with us to that end"

"Then, suddenly, on orders from Ber-
