RUMORS HEARD
OF GUN RUNNERS
BEING KILLED

Unconfirmed reports of the execution
of three gun runners at the little Mex
lean town of Mesquite, Sonora, con-
tinue to drift across the line and into
Aqua Prieta. The report serves to
add color to the rumors afloat con-
cerning the Yaqui revolution. The ru-
mors say that the gun runners were
trying to take arms to the Indians
when they were apprehended by fed
eral forces on the Mexican side of the
line and summarily treated to the
adobe wall" execution.
Officials of the Mexican government
at Tucson and Douglas refuse to con-
firm the report, saying they have no
knowledge of the capture nor of the
identity of any men arrested for SNUG
Cling arms and ammunition. United
states officers of the U. S. Border pa
troll, immigration service, likewise de-
clare the story "unconfirmed" through
the official channels of their depart
ment.
Sam Gray, inspector in charge of
the patrol at Tucson, said last night
1--WE have men stationed in that re-
gion, our regular patrol I have heard
nothing from them regarding the mat
ter, and it is impossible for us to con-
firm the story.
"Such an occurrance, however, is
impossible, as it is known that at
tempts to smuggle arms to the Yaquis
have been made. Whether the Mexi-
can patrol on the Mexican side has
captured any such smuggiers or not,
] could not say"
Reports from ranchers' in southern
Arizona tell of the stationing of Mex
ican federal troops at points along the
border heretofore ungarrisoned. The
headquarters of the federalists is said
to be Mesquite Sonora which is be-
ing used as a base by the troopers.
The patrol extends both ways from
Mesquite, and, it is said, a strenuous
effort is being made to prevent the
bringing in of arms and ammunition
to the Yaquis.
Rumors of the return of Adolfo de la
Huerta, professed leader of the Yaqui
revolution, to this portion of the coun
try, have again reused interest in the
activities of the tribesmen across the
boundary and has brought
to the fore q large amount of con-
lecture as to the location of the bor-
der point which is to be picked for

CLAIMANT is DENIED
INTEREST IN ESTATE
Court Rules Against Mrs. Buten-
hoff, Who Demanded Share in
Bequest to Divorced Husband.

Justice Hoehling of the District Su-
preme Court today rendered an opin-
ion holding that Mrs. Winifred III. w.
Butenhoff of st. Louis, Mo-, is not en-
titled to q dover interest in onefourth
of the estate of Samuel +. Wheatley,
to which her divorced husband, Sam
nel Hartley Wheatley, became entitled
at his fathers death. Counsel for the
plaintiff relied on the Missouri statute.
which retains the dover to a divorced
wife when the husband is at fault, but
Justice Hoehling decided that while
the District code permits the court to
retain dover, it does not attach TO real
estate acquired by the husband subse
quent to the divorce.
The record showed that the divorced
husband, at the time of the divorce,
was a remainderman in fee in an un-
divided one-fourth interest in his
fathers estate after the death of the
widow of his father. The life tenant
did not die until December last,
some years after the divorce. and
therefore there was no "siesin of the
lands in the divorced husband during
his marriage to the plaintiff.
The suit was brought against Leon
ard w. Groomes as trustee of the es-
tate of Samuel E. Wheatley and the
beneficiaries of the estate. The de.
fendants, through Attorney Joseph ID.
Sullivan, filed motion to dismiss,
which was sustained by the court.
