GUAYMAS, Son., Mex, Sept. 23.--
When the Mexican soldier goes to

Troop trains arriving here from
various points in Mexico bearing

AQUA PRIETA IS
NOT ALARMED BY
INDIAN FORAYS S

Associated Press reports that Ct band
of SO Yaqui Indians are moving north
from Hermosillo on foray for pro-
little interest in Aqua Prieta. Author
tiles in the border city state that
the Indians are too far away tt
endanger the town. and that even il
they come closer there will be sur
ficient troops to, safeguard the city.
A dispatch from Guaymas Wednes-
day night states: "A band of some
50 Indians is known to be en- route
to small towns near the international
boundary line for supplies. official
reports have it that small band OF
Yaquis raided a ranch at San Fran
cisco, small town between Her
mosillo and Ures, taking provisions
but not harming the ranchers. The
Indians were quoted as saying that
the present war is against the gov
ernment and not the people.
small military guards at Magda-
lena have been removed to augment
the federal soldiery in the field
against the Yaquis in southern Sonora
and similar shifting of troops Is
evident ut Hermosillo. Though these
communities are left without protec-
ton, there is little danger from a
Yaqui attack because holding them
would doubtless prove more a liza
bility than an asset to the Indians.
The numerical reficiency of the
Indians prevents the adequate gar
risoning of any place.

general and alien property custodian
of the Harding administration.

other accounts with the firm, liberty

received for these at his request a

was received here for payment endorsed
by the Midland National bank of Wash

Daughertys brother, Nal S. Daugherty,

Miss Vera V. Veail assistant cashier
of the Midland bank, was called in an
attempt to show how the King check

both the Daughertys and Smith had had
regular accounts in the bank and that
King had never had one there. She
testified, however, that all documents.

King check there, or to whose account
it had been deposited had disappeared.

King money went to the former attor-

Miss Veail said that one sheet of the
remittance letter accompanying checks
sent to the Cincinnati bank on October

Were Douglas people interested IN

seemed so when one gazed out over
the vast crowd that had gathered il
