Flee to the Mountains.
TUCSON. Arts.. July 24. In a desperate
battle between -Mexican troops and Pa
pajro Indians Tuesday at the Tmaculada
ranch, near Oetro Colorado mining camp.
In the Altar district of Sonora. 19 Indians
and two soldiers were killed and five
soldiers were wounded.
I The encounter resulted from an at-
tempt to return the Indians to their res
' ervation. The Fapagos are usually peace
ful, but many complaints of depredations
upon ranches by this band caused the
Government on two previous occasions
to send troops to subdue them. The In
dians fl?d to the mountains both times.
The present expedition under Captain
Baron with 60 soldiers surprised an In
dian village. The soldiers found no one
In camp but two boys, as the rest of the
population was gathering cactus fruit In
the hills. The soldiers set fire to the
houses and the Indians rushed to the res
1 cue of their homes.
Seeing the troops, they took refuge be
hind nearby rocks and opened fire. Baron
ordered the bugler to sound the retreat.
. The troops retired, and the Indians pur
' . sued, thinking they had routed the sol
diers. The latter, however, soon halted
and opened fire, killing 19 of the hostiles
and wounding many.
The Indians fled, taking their wounded
with them. Among the killed are Chief
Dolores and his son. These two are said
to have bef-n the chief trouble-makers.
,: The wounded soldiers were taken to Her
mosillo. ,. The scene of the encounter is near the
international line about 80 miles from
Santa Ana station on the Sonora Rail
road. This is the first encounter be
tween the Papagos and troops.
, SONORA WILL FIGHT YAQVIS
Mexico Leaves State to Settle With
Implacable Hostiles.
TUCSON Ariz.. July 24. It was learned
from the secretary to Governor Cubillas,
of Sonora, today that after three years of
endeavor to subdue the Yaquis, the gov
ernment of Mexico has turned the situa
tion over to the Sonora state authorities.
During this period a number of Yaquis
and their families were deported to Yuca
tan, but it is believed that the main de
portations have been of peaceful Indians
instead of renegades.
Cubillas has formulated his plans. The
most important move will be to station
troops in every mining camp and pueblo
1n the affected districts and also enlist
vaquerros to act as guides and infor
mants. The force of rurales will also be
Increased. The plans will permit of as
sembling of a considerable body of troops
on short notice in almost any locality.
