that corporation rather than the
Grand canal, the Salt River canal

the present time have figured large
ly in the politics of the county, we
are at a loss to know, unless it
wishes to, direct attention away from

Battle With Yaquis Re.
ported in Progress
Near Vicam

NOGALES. Arizona, October g.
R)-Fighting between the Mexican
federal troops and Yaqui Indians IS
in progress at Vjcam, a small village
in the northern part Of Sonora, ad-
vices to the NogaIes Herald today
said. Vicam is approximately sew
enty miles south Of Guayamas, a
seaport town. The fighting started
Thursday.
The Mexican government at Mex
leo City has refused to send addi-
tional troops to Sonora to oppose
the Yaqui, it is authoritatively
stated. A request for these troops
was made by leaders fighting the
Yaquis and IL was refused, the
Mexican government replying that it
did not want to leave other stategic
points unguarded. Reports that Gem
eral Lucas Gonzales with two regi-
ments Of federals has joined the
Sonora rebels are believed to be
groundless here.
The similar report two weeks ago
proved baseless.
Emphatic denial that Alvaro Obre-
gon, former Mexican president, is
held prisoner by the Yaquis, as re-
ported from San Antonio recently,
was made today by Mexican officials
here. The Mexican consul exhibited
a telegram from Obregon dated yes
terday. Also representatives Of the
Nogales Herald have talked with
Americans coming out Of Mexico, who
said they saw Obregon within the
