GRAPH STORY
Of KILN IS
TOLD BY WOMAN
Mrs. Haney Describes Shoot
ing Of Mexican Paymaster
And Execution Of Slayer

The story of murder that occur
red Tuesday night in a passenger
coach of Southern Pacific de Mexico
train, running between Guaymas and
Nogales. and the subsequent execu-
ton of the murderer by the passen-
gers on the train, was told last night
by Mrs. jeanette Haney, who arrived
here last evening and who was n pas
senger on the train. and was on her
way to Bisbee to visit relatives here
Jose OrtO, young lieutenant in
the Mexican army. fired five shots
into the body of Major Talamentes,
also of the Mexican army, shortly aft
er the train left Guaymas, and then
turned the gun on himself Telling
the Mortified crowd that he had long
waited for the hour of revenge and
that he was satisfied. But the MeXi-
can passengers on the train preferred
to execute the judgment themselves
They took the young lieutenant from
the train at Ortiz and executed him
by firing five shots into the body,
the same number he had used to kill
his enemy.
Mrs. Haney was an eyewitness to
the tragedy. She said that the day
coach was a scene of shattered win
dows and mirrors and terrified pas
sengers.
My little daughter and | were on
our way to visit my mother, Mrs
John Wade, OF Warren said Mrs.
Haney. AT Guaymas we noticed the
young man board the train, look of
tragedy on his face, and a rifle by
his side.
He had not been aboard more than
few minutes after the train left
Guaymas until he began his alterca-
ton with Major Talamentes. Neither
of the men would say what the grudge
was, but the lieutenant fired at Tala-
mentes, piercing his body through the
abdomen. He fell, crumpling under
the seat of the car, and called to
Orto, Don't shoot again. I'm badly
hurt
Come on out, and | won't shoot
replied OrtO, but as soon as his vic
tim struggled to his feet, weak and
bleeding, he fired four more times,
instantly killing Major Talamentes.
''At this moment, Orto seemed to
be crazed by his crime and started
LII iuS ctl IelhbOIh at lllC pdSoCHSClS III
the coach. The men of the crowd
with the officers of the railway train
seized him and attempted to take the
rifle away from HIM, when he fired
a shot at a passenger, the bullet en-
tering the mans chest and severely
wounding him.
I'm order to get control of the lieu
tenant some one struck him Il heavy
blow over the head with a lantern,
which daZed him, but did not lessen
his desire to kill, and turning the gun
on himself he was about to fire when
the crowd closed in on him.
Tying his hands securely behind
his back, the mob took him from the
train at Ortiz, bleeding, dazed and
cut, and after appointing a marshal of
their own, fired five shots into his
body and left him dead.
AS they took the young lieutenant
from the train he told them that he
had made his final settlement with
Talamentes, and that he had waited
long for the opportunity and was glad
it was over. Nobody discovered what
the nature of the grudge was"

GRASSHOPPER ARMY ADVANCES

Yesterday was San Juan Day,

Yesterday was San Juan Day,
and no rail fell!
And, as a result, old-timers in
the district have lost a lot of
faith in the traditions of Indians
and Mexicans.
san Juan Day and no rain!
GOSH 1t don't seem possible.
One of the oldest traditions in
these parts is that the oath of
June is a day on which everybody
must be well equipped with UNI
brellas and raincoats. The tradi-
ton has been borne out many
times in the past, but yesterday
put the skids on it for at least
another year.
Just why it should have rained
on San Juan Day is a mystery.
But why it didn't is even more of
a mystery.
Old-timers say that the oath
of June should >-ways be wet
dramatically. And what the
weather man says on the night of
the 23rd don't make no difference
a-tall. If the forecast for San
Juan Day is Fair" then the
weather man is off his cabeza,
ratty or cuckoo. If it is Rain"
then old-timers begin to put lit

PARRAF |NE BASE
SAND, BUT No
OIL, FOUND
Wolferton Ranch Well Not
Expected To Be Sunk Deep
Enough To Strike Oil

Dan B. Seed and a representative
of the Review yesterday visited the
scene of the reported oil strike in the
Milestone mountains. The we'll is
being drilled on this side of the noun
tains, about six miles from Huachuca
Siding The we'll is being drilled for
water on the ranch of James Wolford
1t is now down about $50 feet with a
small flow of water, about a gallon
and half minute.
About week ago, with each baling
of the well, there came with the wa
ter n streak OF black sand or greasy
substance which it was thought was
oil Samples of this black sand were
taken to Tucson and analysed and
showed no traces of oil but>did show
a paraffin base. The black sand or
substance has increased in volume
with each day. Samples of this sand
were brought back to Bisbee and will
be tested today. Samples of the blue
lime that the drill has been in for the
last 200 feet wese also brought back
and they also will be tested.
The well is being drilled by Round
tree Brothers, who have had expert
ence in drilling in the Burkburnett
field. and they claim that the show
lHS 10 QuitO SOOu OuI hOehiHo " OS
excited over.
The first report of where the well
was being drilled put it on the other
side of the Mescal Gap in Santa Cruz
county. but it is four or five miles
this side, in Cochise county. To
reach it: take the road to Huachuca
Siding and then go about two miles
toward the Gap and take the second
right hand road just as you enter a
sand stretch about 200 yards long.
The road leads through an open gate
into lane; keep in this lane to the
end and turn to the left towards a
new house with an implanted roof
where the rig is located.
There is no excitement in the vicin-
ity of the discovery, other than that
created in Nogales and Patagonia fol-
lowing the spread of the news. There
is no open government land available
everything being either homesteaded
or leased state land.
The section of the Whetstones, on
both sides, has been believed to be
on oil bearing country for years. but
sufficient capital to put down a test
well has never been gathered togeth-
err. The present well being put down
will not attain any great depth and
moth nc hut indications are expected
to be uncovered in the well on the
Wolferton ranch.

terms himself hobo and says he
hasn't done a tap of work during the
past four years, is in, the county Jail
in Tombstone, charged with the seri-
GUS offense of attempted assault on
the person of a 7-year-old girl at Will
cox.
The little girl is the daughter of
a mechanic in a Wilcox garage whose
name could not be learned here and
the attempt to commit the crime be-
came known after she told her par
ents of the mans actions.
In Jail here Frazier denies that he
attempted to harm the child, although
he says he is willing to plead guilty
to the charge. He was drunk while
he was in Wilcox. he told Sheriff
Hood, but his story is not believed as

ing to Hood. His further statement
that he paid IS for pint of liquor in
Bowie is not believed by the officers.
He has not yet been arraigned be-
fore Judge Sames pending receipt of
