Sunday evening colored man in
overalls, similar to the fatigue mill
tary uniform, entered the Liberty
pool hall, on Grand Avenue, near the
Banks bridge, and at the point of a
gun held up the inmates, robbing the
proprietor, P. Conklin, of the sum of
$24. The man was so deliberate in
his movements, SO cool and collected
that he overawed the proprietor and
those present, making his escape with
out their giving an alarm.
Yesterday afternoon at about 6
O'Clock Conklin recognized in a pas
sing negro the robber of Sunday
night, and he telephoned the police
station at once. Chief Of Police Jay
Lowe and John Deegan Immediately
set out down Grand Avenue to meet
the alleged robber, while two military
police were sent down the railroad
track to pick him up if he came that
way. The city officers missed him
but the M. P.'s met him coming up
the track and promptly nabbed him.
Taking him to the city police station
he gave the name of George H. Sow
ers, and when searched there was
found on him a wicked looking auto
matte pistol and a considerable sum
of silver money. The weapon an

When the gun was identified as hav-

come out of that window, but didn't
get it. I bought it from another

FEDERAL TROOPS
IN SANTA CRUZ
VALLEY SUNDAY
Fights Occur Near The San

teen Soldiers Are Report

Reported Well Armed

Yesterday it was reported that
fight between Yaoui Indians and Mex
ican federal soldiers had taken place
Sunday afternoon just beyond the San
ia Barbara rancho, on the Santa Cruz
river, just south of the international
line. and that number OF casualties
had occurred. 1t was reported that
eighteen soldiers had been killed and
several wounded.
Yesterday afternoon a reporter for
'"The Oasis" visited the municipal hos
pital in Nogales, Sonora, and found
there two wounded soldiers, Carmen
Rivera and Juan Ramirez, who had
been shot in the fight reported Sun
day afternoon.
Rivera had received three bullets,
two in one foot, another in his body;
but his condition was not very grave.
Ramirez had been shot three times
also, one bullet in the thigh, break
ing the bone, the others in the body.
According to the accounts given by
these men it would seem that the
soldiers had been ambushed. and that
there were two detachmehts of the
troops that had been attacked by two
different bands of Indians, as Carmen
Rivera stated that the Indians he
fought seemed 25 or 80 in number
while Ramirez thought there might be
80 in the band he fought against.
Both men described the Indians as
we'll armed, with Mauser rifles, and
plenty of ammunition, while they
were well clad, their clothing, shoes
etc., being right. new. 1t seemed as
if they had been in Arizona purchas-
| ing their arms, ammunition and cloth
ing, and were returning into Sonora
They were marching afoot.
Yesterday Major Medina departed
from Nogales, Sonora, with a strong
force gathered at Magdalena anc
other points down the Sonora division
of the railway, to be joined with
others from Cananea, with which
forces he will follow the Indians ant
chastise them.
