WASHINGTON, Sept. 1. One of
the five Mexicans killed Tuesday by
a posse on the Texas border was pos
itively Identified as General Oroxco.
Chief Hleluskl of the department of
Justice Investigation bureau was so
advised by Bpeclal agents today. The
official report said Oroxco and his
followers were surprised while seek
ing food at a Culberson county ranch.
They were pursued by the posse and
made a stand in a canyon. They
were killed In a battle that followed
Career Is SiKx-tuctilur.
Orosco was one of Francisco I. Ma
seru's chief militury commanders in
his revolution against President Di
az. Later when military governor of
Chihuahua he deserted Madero and
espoused the cause of Vlctoriano Hu
erta and subsequently organized the
"Colorados" of the Chihuahua bor
der. As a Huerta general he was de
feated and driven from Mexico by
Villa at OJInaga In 1913.
In 1910 General Orosco, then about
35 years old, was the ow ner of a mule
pack train which transported ore from
the Western Chihuahua mines to the
railroad.
At the outbreak of the Madero rev
olution against Diaz he Joined Ma
dero and soon became a general, tak
ing part in the capture of Juarez In
191 1. President Madero, upon sue-
cess of the revolution, promoted Oro
zco tu be militury governor pf Chi
huahua. Ortwo at Head of Revolt.
In January, 112, the garrison of
Juares revolted, with Oroico leading
the revolt.
President Madero sent General Vlc
toriano Huerta to suppress the revo
lution. About that time the state de
partment enforced an embargo on
arms exportation to Mexico and Oro
zco fled to the United States.
In September of that year, after
the ascendency of Huerta to execu
tive control of Mexico City, Orozco
appeared on the board and aligned
himself with Huerta.

BURNED NEAR HELIX
SPARKS 1'IIOM PASSING TRAIN
ARE RELIEVED TO HAVE
STARTED FIRE.
One of the most disastrous gralu
fires of the season In Umatilla coun
ty occurred near Helix Monday af
ternoon when more than 2Q'JQ sacks
'of wheat were burned or so badly
' damaged that they will not be mar
ketable. I The fire Is supposed to have been
caused by sparks from the passing
N. P. train as the place of origin was
near the tracks. The fire started
about 3 o'clock, soon after the train
hud passed. It swept across one cor
ner of the Carl Kupers place, de
; stroying 123 sacks of wheat lying In
the stubble, spread to the William H.
! Dale stubble, burned about a thous
and sacks of wheat and sweeping
across a quarter section of the stub
ble of the William Tlmmerman farm.
I Mr. Timmerman had a stack of 2000
sacks of wheat In the field and it Is
( estimated that half of this was badly
t damaged. The loss to each farmer
is covered by Insurance.
( The fire was a hot one and at
traded many people within a short
time. About 2j went out from Helix
, and aided In the fight against the
1 flames. Only their efforts saved the

The offer seemed very flattering to
the Round-up directors on first con
sideration but sober judgment has led
most of them to the opinion that no
such attempt to stage the show
should be entertained.
It is a general conviction thst it is
not possible to stage the Round-up
outside of Pendleton. While the
bucking stock, the Indians, cowboys
and other stock and performers could
be moved to California, the spirit j
and atmosphere of the Round-up Is
distinctly Pendleton's own and can-'
not be transported, In the view of j
most local people.
Not at any time did the directors
consider the proposition save as anj
advertisement for the Round-up and
Penuleton. But the improbability of
duplicating the features that have
made the local show such a great '
success constitutes an objection which j
manv believe would lessen the value!
of the advertising.
In the event that the directors con-i
elude to accept a proposition theyj
will first call a meeting of the stock
holders to ascertain their views. j

"Regarding our conversation

following passage:
"No liner will be sunk by our

on before the Arabic Incident oc
curred. "I have no objections to your
making any use you may please of

Lansing Is Satisfied.
Commenting on the note, Lansing
would only say: "In view of Its
clearness it seems needles to make

pears to be a recognition of the fun

have contended."
