HARRY MEADOWS
SHOT BY BANDIT
GANG AT La
BRISCA MINE
Mining Man Crawls Up River
Bed To His Auto After
He Is Wounded
SHOOTS AT NDITS

Troops were sent out of Noga-
les yesterday to the "La Brisca"
Mining District, sixty miles south
of Nogales, to run down a band
of bandits who shot Harry
Meadows, 30 year old Pittsburg,
Pennsylvania, mining man, Tues
day night.
Although shot twice Meadows
managed to get his gun, scared
the bandits away by firing several
shots, crawled down river bed to
his garage at the La Crisca mine
and drove into Noeales over al
most impossible trails, arriving
here yesterday in a weakened con-
dition from loss of blood. He had
been shot through the shoulder
and through the right leg.
Alone in his cabin in one of the
most mountainous sections OF So
nora Meadows Tuesday night,
while reading by lamplight, heard
some rocks rolling down the noun
tainside. He thought the noise
was from foxes trying to steal his
chickens. AS he went out of his
cabin two shots rang out in the
darkness and both hit Meadows.
Only slightly injured he ran into
his house, secured his gun and ran
outdoors again and fired at the
bandits, as they fled.
Upon his arrival here Meadows
Immediately notified General
Francisco Borquez, commander of
rebel forces in northern Sonora,
and he sent out troops at once to
try to run down the bandits, Bor-
quez promising to severely punish
all bandits found operating in the
district.
Meadows has been manager of
La Brisca mine the past two
years.

BOTH FEDERALS A ND
REBELS CLAIM
VICTORY

Rebel headquarters in a
statement issued late yes
terday afternoon said that
General Cardenas' federal
army has not advanced be-
yond the borders of the
state of Jalisco, that General
Iturbe's rebel army is still in
Mazatlan holding General
Carrillo's federals 'bottled
up, and that General Man
20 is in control at La Cruz.
Juarez advices to rebel
headquarters claim tn at
General Escobar is still sue
cessful on the Jimenez front.
While these statements
are being given out by the
rebels, the federals on the
upper hand are claiming
t h y have practically an
initiated the rebel army in
the Jimenez sector. "All the
Escobar troop trains are in
our possession and all sur
vivors of the battle are our
prisoners" says a Mexico
City dispatch which adds
that the battle of Jiminez
started at Corralitos March
81 and closed at Reforma at
2 o'clock on the afternoon of
Tuesday April 2.
Arrivals from the south,
not interested particularly in
either the rebels or the fed
erals, insist that General
Manzo is now at San Bias,
Sinaloa, and that General
Roberto Cruz is at Hermo-
sillo. There is an uncon-
firmed report that rebel
headquarters on the west
coast of Mexico have been
established at San Bias, Sina-
loa.

$4,000 Head Of
Cattle Pass Thru

Ten thousand head Of cattle pas
sed through Nogales and 10000
through Douglas last week from
the west coast Of Mexico.
On these shipments the rebels
collected tax of $3.50 per head,
or a total of $500. Some of these
cattle belonged to the estate of
the late General Jesus M. Aguirre
who was captured and executed in
Vera Cruz couple weeks ago by
the federals.
On Wednesday of this week
1000 head of cattle passed through
Nogales enroute from the west

recovered.
Hostilitiss opened this morning
by an air raid on General To-
pete's troops staged by two fed
eral planes aiming powerful tor
pedo missiles at massed rebel
formations. The extent of dam
age or casualties, if any, caused
by this early morning air attack
could not be ascertained.
In retaliation the rebels sent
two planes flying over the gar
rison here.s The Topete craft
dropped nine dynamite bombs,
scoring at least three direct hits
on the strong entrenchments and
damaging an adobe house. No
casualties resulted from this coun-
ter-bombardment although slight
damage was done.
AS the rebel planes, their bomb
cargo apparently exhauted, headed
back to their base, the Inflated
fedora. plane, piloted by Aviator
Gutierrez, took the air evidently
for the purpose of engaging the
rebel planes in midair combat.
The Gutierrez craft, however,
was unable to gain altitude speed
lily and by the time it had scared
vel into the air, the rebe' flyer
had disappeared into the south
eastern horizon. Gutierrez then
headed his craft toward the To-
pete troops where he began an at
tack which resulted in disaster.
Hit by rebel bullets, his cargo of
bombs evidently exploded with a
tremendous impact hurting the
plane in many bits to the ground.
