AN ATTEMPTED vi J
SHOOTING UPON
DEPOT PLATFORM
YESTERDAY.


While the large crowd which usual
ly gathers at the depot platform to
witness the departure of the Tucson
train, was thickest yesterday after
noon, it was suddenly thrown into
confusion by a number of shots fired
from its midst is quick succession.
Confusion reigned supreme around
the depot for time, and had the
lady who fired the shots so desired
she could undoubtedly have escaped
with ease to the other side of the
line. An officer who appeared in an
swer to call for help passed her on
his way to the depot, and later took
her on his way back to the office.
The lady who did the shooting was
Simona Badilla, and the intended
victims of her bullets were Mr.. AT
Mrs. c.. Ortega. Rumors of pre-
vious affair between the assailant
and Ortega we've thick after the af-
fair, but the lady would have moth ;ng
tc say after being arrested -
Ortega and his wife were married
last September, and he.has been con-:
tinually employed as battery man at
the Ford garage. They were board
ing the train yesterday for Phoesix,
where he had accepted a position
with the Western Machine Co., when
the alleged paramour appeared on the
scene and opened fire with short
80 calibre pistol of the bull dog type.
Ortega grabbed her as she was aim
ing at his wife, and the bullet scratch
ed the skin. of his side, as it passed
through his clothes. Another of the
shots perforated the arm of the as
sailants sister, who was in the crowd
The remainder of the shots went wild
and did no damage.
In his struggles to get the! gun
away from the woman, Ortega bump
ed his temple against the car, cut
ting quite a cash in his head and.
check
The wounded sister: was taken to
the hospital, the assailant to the
county Jail, and Ortega and his wife
postponed their trip to-. Phoenix,
pending a complete investigation of
the affair
The daily morning oasis. [volume] (Nogales, Ariz.) 1917-1920, 1920-04-22

trying to say that the capture of the
city on Tuesday confirmed such re-
ports, was branded by the general as
yellow journalism of the worst kind.
The general is desirous of giving
the facts to the people as fast as they
develop, but does not desire to have
false rumors concernisg the situation
spread over the country.
Customs Clerks Desert Cause
An interesting feature of the situa-
tion yesterday was the fact that
about a score of the customs house
clerks on the Sonora side of the line,
deserted their posts Tuesday night,
after receiving their pay, and crossed
to the American side of the line, most
of them leaving for Ell Paso on the
afternoon train.
The Sonora authorities claim that
the men were approached by Car
ranza agents who offered them con-
TIM uation of their pay without work
ing if they would only quit the state,
and wait until few days time would
enable the Carranza forces to take
tie city once more, when their old
jobs would be theirs with a SUBJ
st.ntial promotion all along the line.
The Sonora authorities also claim
to have received official information
yesterday from Washington stating
that General Obregon is absolutely
, safe. and will be heard from in few
GAYS time in way which will ex-
plain his present silence.
They also give out the information
that General Gomez is now in posses
sion of Tuxpam, and predict that in
a lew days more the entire Tampico
oil district will be in his power. No
r.ention is made of Pelaez, who has
guarded the oil fields so assidously
for the past few years, and who is
undoubtedly force to be reckoned
with.
Will Make Declaration
The following declaration issued
yesterday by the state authorities for
publication aa "The Oasis" bears
promise of interesting developments
within the next couple of days.
Within the next few days there will
be drawn up in Aqua Prieta by the
leaders Of the movement begun in
Sonora, a plan which will contain the
'ndamental principles of the liberal
cause.
This plan will uphold the repudia-
ton of Venustiano Carranza as pres
ident of the United States of Mexico
and of the governors imposed upon
various states of the republic, and the
municipal government imposed upon
the Federal District. 1t will recog-

MAKING BIG
EFFORTS TO
BREAK THE
!. STRIKE
Omitted Press Service)


. CHICAGO, April 21.-Another eff
fort to end the "outlaw" switchmen'
strike was made today when Pres
ident John Grunau of the outlaw
Switchmen's Union, was rushed here
from the federal prison at Joliet, to
appeal to his followers.
Grunau, who was jailed on charges
of violation of the Lever act, was ex-
pected to give bond for his appearance
in court, then call members of the
Chicago Yardmen's Association to-
gether and advise them mot to fight
the movement"
The Chicago switchmen bolted a
mass meeting called to vote and end
to the strike. They objected be-
cause Grunau was not present.
U. S. District Attorney Clyne an
nounced that regardless of the
switchmen's action, prosecution of
the arrested strike leaders will pro-
ceed.
1t is reported that improvement In
livestock and freight in Chicago yards
was almost rs per cent of normal, as
switching crews continue reporting
for work.

WOULD HAVE
DEPORTED
GOVERNOR
HUNT
UNITED Press Service)

TOMBSTONE, Arizona, April 21.-
In the Wooten trial today John Nc
Cullough of the University of Ari-
zona, testified that members of an
alleged kangaroo court, which fol-
lowed deportations that are the basis
of the present trial, were ready to
deport Governor w. P. Hunt, should
he have come to Bisbee, as was an
ticipated would be the case.
Governor Hunt had been named a
mediator in the Bisbee strike.
"We would deport Hunt just the
same as we deported the other I. w.
W. should he come here" McCul-
lough testified some of the kangaroo
court told him.
Judge Pattee ruled today that the
prosecution will be permitted to Of
fer evidence of an alleged conspiracy
by mining companies "to destroy or
ganized labor in Warren District; and
particularly to destroy the American
Federation; but the state must prove,
however, that H. E. Wooten, defend
ant in this case was party to the
conspiracy.
If the state succeeds in building
it's foundation for this line Of evil
dence the trial may continue several
weeks longer.
The state claims that the deport-
ations from Bisbee marked the climax
of an alleged anti-labor conspiracy,
and were not defensive measures, as
the defence claims.

SONORA GAINING


The movement instituted by So
nora in declarisg its severance of re-
lations with the central Mexican gov
ernment while it is controlled by
Venustiano Carranza as president,
seems now to be gaining ground
throughout the entire republic.
New aGhesions were reported from
all parts of the republic to the cause
of the opponent Of Carranza. On the
other hand the Carranza government
is still sending out reports of men de-
claring their fealty to the central
government. The claims of the two
sides can only be taken at their face
value until more definite informa-
ton is available.
The priscipal activity noticeable
yesterday in the Sonora movement
was the attempt of the state govern
ment to meet the requests of the var
ious chambers of commerce on the
northern part Of the state, and that
of Nogales, Arizona, to devise some
means of patching up the differences
between the S. P. de Mexico railroad
and its striking employees, SO that
the operation of the road could be
turned back to the company.
The state authorities, it was point
ed out, had no intentios of con-
fiscating the property of the rail-
road company, and took over the road
at the time of the strike, simply to
prevent it being operated by federal
soldiers, and thus giving the Car
rama government the chance it was
looking for to impose the military
government on the people instead of
the regularly elected government.
Confirming the official report sent
out os the Goth by the state govern
ment announcing the capture of
Culiacan that morning, number of
private messages came to Nogales
yesterday direct from the capital
city of the state of Sinaloa. In adj
dition to this, the Delco Light agency
is Nogales, Sonora, yesterday morn
ing received wire from its agent in
Obispo, ordering a complete outfit to
be shipped Immediately for the pri-
vate train of General Flores. Obispo
is a station about forty hlometers
south of Culiacan, so it would seem
that the doughty general is losing no
time in pursuing the 1turbe follow
ers southwark.
Geseral Gales in an interview yes
terday made emphatic his displeasure
at the incorrect reports sent out from
Nogales by irresponsible news
agencies, and purporting to emenate
from official sources. The story for
instance that Culiacan had been tax
en- last Saturday, asd the bluff in
