81 absolutely know that the

less woman and man"
| The above statements were en-
| phatically endorsed by Mr.. Beyers
as he lay in a critical condition
at the Las Vegas Hospital this
morning. The latter part of the
statement refers to the purported
/ claim of the Filipino that Mrs.
| Beyers promised to desert her
husband and marry him. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Beyers are EN-
phatic in stating that there have
not at any time been any in.
innate or improper relations be-
tween Mrs. Beyers and the
Filipino.
The story of the affray at
Windmill Inn, San Bernardino Co.,
Cal, in which Mr.. Beyers nearly
lost is life last Monday evening
is given briefly by Mr.. and Mrs.
Beyers as follows:
We had been working at FL
Centro and decided to go to the
new gold camp of Weepah. The
Filipino, whose name is Nayaul
Aulluppe, seemed to be peaceful
sort of fellow. When he found
we were going he asked if he
could ride with us if he paid the
expenses of the trip. We said
yes, and had no reason to be
suspicious of him. At a place
this side of Barstow he asked a
man where we stopped how far
it was to Los Angeles and was
told 1S0 miles.
When we arrived at Windmill
Inn, We decided to stop a few
minutes for coffee and to service
the car. Mr.. Beyers was outside
looking after the car and Mrs.
Beyers was in the house ordering
refreshments. The Filipino asked
how far 1t was to Los Angeles
and was told 200 miles.
Thereupon he seemed to be-
come crazy and advanced threat
eningly on Mrs. Beyers. Mr,
Beyers just outside the door,
heard and saw the trouble. Pick
ing up rock he went in to de-
fend his wife The Filipino came
at hi mwith a dagger. first slash
ing Beyers through the face so
that the blood blinded him and
then inflicting numerous other
terrible wounds Mrs. Beyers
picked up the rock which her
husband had dropped and hit the
/, Filipino, causing him to turn on
/, her. Mr.. Beyers instantly siezed
a chair and hit the Filipino over
the head putting him out for the
moment.
RECOVERING, the Filipino ran
out, got into the Beyers car,
turned around and drove rapidly
back toward Barstow. A few
miles this side of Barstow he
turned the car over badly damag-
ing it, and was arrested on his
arrival little later in Barstow.
In the meantime, although ac-
; cording to both Mr. and Mrs.
Beyers there were two men at
the Inn who had stood tamely by
while the Filipino repeatedly
slashd her husband, refusing to
interfere although one was armed
with a gun, Mrs. Beyers was
| forced to leave her apparently
dying husband and go to the
home of Mrs. Yates, a mile and
a half distant for help, she states.
Mrs. Yates brought Mrs Beyers
and the wounded man to the Las
Vegas Hospital shortly before
800 o'clock Tuesday morning,
whefe DIR. Mildren worked several
hours dressing the wounds.
Mr.. Beyers, although not yet
out of danger, is cheerful and
hopeful today. He fully realizes
his desperate plight but is con-
, fident that his splendid constitu-
tion will pull him through under
conditions which would have fatal
to most men.
Drs. aMrtin, Mildren and Fergu-
son are very hopeful of Beyers'
recovery unless unforeseen COM
I plications or infections develop.
