Friends of Noted Mexican Revolution'
Ists Believe Crime Exists.
Los Angeles, Oct. 29 Friends of
Teresa Villerael, a sister of Antonio
Vlllerael, a Mexican revolutionist now
in a Federal prison at Florence, Ariz,
believe that she was kidnapped and
taken to Mexico so that she might be
punished for protesting against the
rule of Dlai,
They have received word that she is
imprisoned at Torreon. Friends of the
oung woman know that she was much
in earnest in her protests against the
rule of Diaz and was in deadly earnest
in her efforts to support the Liberal
party, and It Is for this reason that the
Mexican government has privately had
her put out of the way .It Is well
known that she was fully aware of the
act that for her to enter Mexico meant
imprisonment and they say that she
would not go to that country of net-
own free will. She Is said by her many
friends here to have disappeared sud-
dently and without warning of any
kind. As sbe in an American citizen an
inverftiKHilon will be ordered at once.
A prominent gmiu dealer while in
the city today stated, that the farmers
had be--.v selling their, wheat freely
during the past two weeks and that In
hi opinion, at least sixty per tent
had pf.j -.-3 f :! the hands of the grow
era, at prices that average between
78 and 80 cents. The estimate placed
on the wheat crop alone of this county
was in excess of 1,000,000 bushels.
Tills means that practically $800,000
practically will be received by ' the
farmers for this season's wheat crop,
with several hundred thousand dollars
more for oats and barley. The Grande
nonde will be prosperous for another
twelve months. Everything that we

Fireman William Dresser met a hor
rible death. He was thrown from his

Yardmaster Chapman was caught

death. Although the engineer saw .
Dresser thrown into the fire box they
were unable to assist him. There was
an unusually hot fire lu the engine

could not have lived more than a sec
