YAQUI INDIAN
. MORE HUMANE
THAN MEXICAN
DOUGLAS, Ariz., Sept. 23 (by As
sociated Press).—Americans were not
molested but Mexicans were literally
“stripped to the shoestrings” by the
Yaqui Indians who recently raided
the mining camp at San Nicolas,
Sonora, 140 miles southwest of Doug
las. Food was taken from the Mexi
can miners’ cabins and even their
clothing was seized, according to Lee
G. Cloud, managing director of the
mining properties, who has arrived
here.
The Indians were led by two men
with skins as white as any Ameri
can’s. Mexicans said they were More
Indians.
Members of the band were poorly
clothed, some having no covering
about the waist. All were armed, some
with modern high-powered rifles and
others with older, cruder weapons.
There were no Mexicans in the party.
The efforts of Mrs. Carl Knudson,
who had charge of the commissary,
alone kept the camp from being left
altogether without provisions. After
the commissary was looted of $1,400
in gold and practically all its goods,
Mrs. Knudson pleaded with the leader
for food, saying that it would be
strange for a great chief to leave the
camp starving. The chief turned
back two sacks of flour.
When Mrs. Vetch, wife of the
American mill superintendent, be
came hysterical with fright during
the raid, the Indians asked her hus
band to remain with her until they
had left and to assure her she would
not be harmed.
However, the Mexicans were rough
ly treated, and nearly everything
they possessed which might be car
ried away was taken.
The raid upon San Nicolas was not
able for the reason that this was the
first time that Yaquis have raided
that section of the Montezuma dis
trict, although tribunal tradition
claims it as part of the Yaqui posses
sions.
BOLSHEVIK LEADERS
USE STRATEGIC MEANS
IN SUBDUING UNRULV
PARIS, Aug. 20 (by mail).—Bolshe
vik leaders in Russia are compelled tc
practice strategy in order to control
the lawless elements they use as
official executioners of the sentences
pronounced by the soviet tribunals
One instance occurred in the arresl
f of fifteen sailors who had been em
ployed in this way by Djerjinsky and
Peters, who have been described as
“the terror men of Petrograd.” The
sailors had become obstreperous but
as they were heavily armed they were
not expected to submit docilely.
So they were ordered to Boutirky
jail “to execute prisoners” of the Bol
sheviki. They entered the yard gaily
and were marched to inner inclosures
where the officers left them to fetct
the condemned men.
Soon the executioners discovered
that machine guns menaced them
from every window and the warder or
dered them to surrender. Realizing
their helplessness they threw then
weapons away and were marched intc
jail, where they made the day hideous
with their threats and cries.

! FARMERS OF ENGLAND
MUST MEET HIGH COSTS
LONDON, Aug. 25 (Correspondence
ol’ Associated Press).—The farmer’s
task of making two blades grow
where one had grown before is be
coming increasingly difficult in Eng
land, according to statistics pub
lished here today. Some of his dif
ficulties are set out as follows:
Farm laborers before the war re
ceived $4 a week; now they get $10.
Every horse must have a weekly half
holiday. If 20 horses are employed
on a farm this represents an annual
loss of $750 at 75 cents per half day
per week. Before the war steam
plowing cost $1.75 per acre. It now
costs $4.50. Coal before the war cost
$5 a ton; it now costs $12.50. Nitrate
; of soda has advanced from $45 a ton
' to $125; binder twine from $175 a ton
to $650; and blacksmiths’, carpenters’
and saddlers’ work is from 150 to 200
per cent higher.
On top of all this the farmer’s in
come tax has been doubled.

BULL FIGHTER
LEAVES RING
FOR POLITICS
GUADALAJARA, Spain, Aug. 18
(Correspondence of Associated Press)
—“From the bull ring to the political
arena” would make a fitting title to
the history of the life of Luis Maz
zantini, former toreador, who has
just been appointed governor of this
province by King Alphonso XIII.
When Mazzantini retired from the
bull ring, in 1903, he was one of the
most famous toreadors in Spain.
Born in Elgsibar, in northern Spain,
of a well-to-do family, the new gover
nor was sent to the University of
Salamanca, where he obtained his de
gree of doctor in law. It was during
his university days that after a wager
engaged in with some student com
panions, he first faced the bull in the
arena. He acquitted himself very
creditably and the plaudits which he
received from the multitude complete
ly turned his head away from dusty
law books and stuffy court rooms.
His earnings soon eclipsed those of
the reigning toreadors of the day, as
he heceived 6,000 to 7,000 pesetas for
each performance. In 1897 he ac
counted for 168 bulls for an income
of 400,000 pesetas.
Since his retirement in 1903, Maz
zantini has been prominent in local
