APACHE K|DNAPERS
SOUGHT BY POSSE
PurSuers Hope to Recover
Son of Sonora CattIeman
in Indian Lair.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DOUGLAS, Ari2., January 5.-Trsk-
king into the wild ravines of the Mex
lean mountains south of the border
here, Francisco Fimbres today was
leading a party Of IL men bent upon
finding the rendezvous of band of
Apache Indians, with whom they ex-
pect to find Fimbres' kidnapped son.
The expedition. which carried sup
plies for two weeks, was authorized by
Gov. Fausto Topete of Sonora to hunt
down and wipe out the band.
The son of Fimbres, who is Sonora
cattleman, was carried away by the
hostile Apache hand in October, 1925,
when the family was set upon while
riding to the Fimbres' home on BaviSpe
River. Mrs. Fimbres was killed and her
body carried away
The cattleman and daughter sur
vived the attack and escaped to their
home, but Mexican officials at Aqua
Prieta, Mexican border town near here,
last night declared that two other per-
sons were captured IN the attack. The
officials believed these persons also were
being held prisoner by the Apaches,
who live in the rocky ranges which
form the border between the States of
Chihuahua and Sonora.
The Aqua Prieta officials said Gov.
Topete was moved to hunt down the
Apaches by the additional reason of
recent large property losses in the Ba-
vispe country. Evidences pointed to the
wild band as responsible for raids in
which large droyes of cattle had been
stolen.
The Apaches are the surviving de-
scendants of the notorious Geronimo
band which 40 years ago terroriZed
Southern Arizona. The band was
broken up after many were captured
by United States soldiers. Apache sur
vivors entrenched themselves deep in
the mountains and continued their
forays.

los Arctic owls in six weeks. Of
this number, one was pure white, and

trumps with the four Of clubs. In either
case Y z must therefore win three
tricks.
This end play is given to show the
necessity at times of trumping your
partners tricks in order to get into an
advantageous position yourself, or to
place your partner in that position.
For example, suppose at trick two
both A and Y refused to trump the
ace of diamonds. In that case z can
lead a trump or the deuce of hearts. If
the former, A B must win two trump
tricks no matter how Y plays. II z
leads the deuce of hearts, A should
discard and no matter which trump Y
plays, b can over-trump and thus
enable A B to win two tricks. Note this
end play carefully for it is tricky one.

queen of hearts and A is forced to
trump. As Y just overplayed As trump
on the first trick, he can still do so no
matter what was played on the first
trick. As a result Y must thus win
trick two and rs ace of spades must
win trick three. In this way Y z must
win two of the three tricks. This end
play is given to show the Importance of
throwing one opponent in the lead so
that he is forced to lead a suit to his
disadvantage.
Other end plays will be given from
time to time, but the best way to profit
from these example hands is to be on
the lookout for opportunities in actual
