ising to take Agua Prieta from the
rebels or leave his dead body on
the Held, Ronald Diaz, nephew, of
President Diaz, led a thousand fed
eral troops to an attack on the town
this morning. The action was start
ed at G:oU when two machine guns
were brought into line and opened
fire. A second attempt was made a
shoijt time before eight o'clock,
when 200 of the federal infantry
formed in linemnd charged, but only
to bo driven back by the tire of the
insurgents, leaving a dozen wounded
on the Held. At eight o clock the
tiring slackened and five ambu
lances raced across the field to bring
the wounded into Douglas. The main
body of the federal force came up at
8:30 and threw out a seml-clrcular
wing about Agua Prieta, the rebels
forming in the rifle pits to conform
to the attack and opened tire at 500
yards. Many bullets from the com
batants whized over Douglas, and
the American cavalry at Douglas
were ordered behind the houses to
, protect -them. Over 2,000 jwople
were watching tbe fight from Doug
las,' and were statlonod on house
tops and other ioints of observa
tion. Several wero wounded by stray
bullets..
At noon It was reported that RO
federals were dead and wounded,
while the rebel loss was only 14. An
American newspaper man who was
in the insurgent trenches, was ser
iously wounded.

that ho has not yet been nppolnted

ins to positions at tho disposal of

Governor West's choice for that of
fice, will glvo no Information of his
action or assistants until he takes
office Monday morning. When ask
ed ir he would retain Chief Clerk II.
H. Corey, Mr. Olcott petted his
solendid Irish setter and said he
had given the matter of those ap-
polntstuents no thought at all.
"1 have not given tho matter three
minutes' thought," said Mr. Olcott.
"I am not yet secretary or state
and may never he."
Olcott la a great lover of dogs. He
Is said to think more of the new
Irish setter presented to hltn tbe
day Governor West was elected and
which he calls "Governor" In hon
or of the occasion than of any poli
tical Job that could be offered him.
today he was exhibiting a telegram
received from A. W. Sanborn, or
Itoseburg. In which the latter said
he felt like giving Olcott his prize
winning Airedale because he felt so
good over tho probable appointment
of Olcott as secretary of state. Ol
cott was much pleased with tho pros
pert of getting tho famed Airedale.
It Is the general belief that 01
cott will retain II. II. Corey, though
no such action can be obtained
through Olcott himself. Whnt others
will remain In office la entirely a
l mntter of conjecture, though It Is
believed Nicholas Haas, who Is cus
todian of records and files; A. C.
Nye, mailing clerk, an J. W. Allison,
assistant auditing clerk. have R
chance to stay on. Haas has been
employed at the statehouse for 24
ears and knows every corner ami
! nook in thnt structure from dome to

secretary or State Dunbar and Nyo
by Mr. Benson. Among those who
will get at once are Frank T.

of Douglas county and C. fc. hock

during all the time he was governor
and also stenographer to Acting Gov

resigned, havelng delivered her res

C.ovenor West nays no nan nm
