Il biliZat1On OF the ngntlnS nleu
of the Mayo tribe against
them. calls to mind some comparatlEe'
IL recent historical events of great In
tereSt.
In the first place, a misconception
should be corrected. The press re-
ports have it that it is the Maya
indians who are to take the field
against the Yaquis. The Mayas are
the aborigines of the peninsula OF
Yucatan, a thousand miles or more
distant and on the opposite coast
from the habitat of the Mayo m
dians Of the states of sonora ana
Sinaloa. bordering on the Gulf OF Cal
ifornia. or Sea of CorteZ, as 1t is still
known in that region. There Is no
racial. lingual, social, rehglous or
legendary connection between the
tribes whose cognomens so closely re
semble each other. The name OK .ne
Mayo tribe is synonymous with tha1
of the river in whose fertile valley
large share of them have their homes.
hut whether the stream Is named
from the tribe or vice versa does not
appear. The river is called lndls-
criminately the "Humayo' and the
Mayo"
To all appearance, the MayOS and
the Yaquis are of close Kin. their
facial resemblance being strong as be-
comes such near neighbOrs. and all
doubtless of original Asiatic origin
ages in the past. They are alike IN
character to the extent that the men
in both clans are Industrious. are
faithful tillers Of the soil when af.
forded the opportunity. and are good
fighters, as has been demonstrated on
many occasions. Each tribe loves its
own TERRA" or home land, and each
resents with bitterness and all the
power at its command any encroach-
ment upon their immemorial territory.
But Notwithstanding their common
origin and community OF sentiment
in many respects. the two tribes are
bitter enemies. and in the past nave
had many bloody conflicts.
The trouble between the Yaquis and
the Mexican government began under
the Diaz regime, and had its origin In
land ownership. A law was slipped
through the national Legislature. at
the behest OF greedy land grabbers.
requiring all persons in the republic
who claimed to own lands Of any
kind and to whatever extent to pre-
sent the legal evidence Of that owner
ship to a tribunal designated for that
purpose within a certain comparative
ly limited period. In default of such
presentation. upon the expiration OF
the period fixed. all lands whose
titles were not thus established at
once automatically became public
property and subject to entry by the
first person applying therefor. The
scheming land grabbers took good
care that the law should not be made
known to vast numbers Of abOrigines

conquest.
When the attempt swas made to
drive the Yaquis from their lands it
was resisted to such purpose that
Diaz finally entered upon a scheme
of wholesale deportation. and thou
sands of the tribesmen and their
families were transported to Yuca-
tan and other remote regions. where
most of them succumbed 30 hard
ship and to the adverse climatic and
other conditions Of the tropics.

A farmer near Milford had novel
experience several days ago while en-

During the cold weather he has found
it difficult to get the engine working,

"Jerry" to the car, throwing the en-
CINE in gear, and starting Jerry" off
down the road until the engine got
warmed up. He would then stop the
car unlOosen the mule and proceed on
his way. While going through this
procedure last week the mule became
frightened when the motor back-fred
