The cause of Huerta is doomed, tho Mr. Mann sees little peace in Mexico until America intervenes. If time comes, Mr. Mann, despite vear, will enlist in the regular he Intends to organize a band of ranger from the bowboys and old fighters he numbers among his friends.

At Topolobampo Slnola State, Mexico, he was interpreter for the American colony, as he speaks Spanish fluently.

He has left his possessions behind him and now, almost penniless, will probably make his way on to Leavenworth, where he will become an inmate of the Old home, for Mann fought for tho North in the Twenty-third Illinois Regiment during the war between the states. Brutal Incidents. Mann left Topolobampo because to stay would be foolhardy and would endanger his life. A few Americans of the colony remained, he said, bu the greater portion of them had al ready gone when he departed. Topo lobairpe is on the coast ot Mexico, about half way down the coast line, and is the southern term inus of the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient railroad.

A band of about 500 rebels came upon him as he was hoeing in his field, he said. They demanded he join their ranks, and when he re fused they pounced upon him. He was felled by a blow over the head with a heavy revolver, his wrist was broken with another blow and he was kicked in the head and the side. Then, heaping curse and abuse upon him, the band went on their marauding way. Mann told of an incident he had witnessed in the streets of Topolobampo.

An American woman was cursed and insulted by the rebels. She called them in the na tive tongue, and a burly officer then slapped her across the face. Another struck her and she fell, cruelly kicked and beat her with the butts of their rifles. She lay in the street blood gushing from her nose and mouth. American Flag Torn lrp.

Mann and several other bystanders started forward to protest and they were knocked down and beaten. As the rebels turned away from the woman a little 3-year-old child rushed up to her crying, One of band slapped the child so fiercely that she was knocked down and one man kicked the little one. The child was playing with a little American flag that fell from her grasp wlieh the man struck her. One of the rebels picked it up and reviiling and cursing it tore it to shreds. Negaunee, Jan.

Negaunee Finns have been much Interested in the past few days in the case of Matt and Mayme Makki, husband and wife, who were arrested one lay last week on two charges. Makki was arrested on complaint of a business man, and the wife is charged with collecting money under false pretenses. Mrs. Makki made a canvass of a number of residences, soliciting aid for the family of John Holmi, which, she said, was in hard straits. She secured considerable money and nany articles of clothing.

A friend of the alleged learned what Mrs. Makki was dong, and, on investigation, it was found that the family in question did lot need aid and had not asked for it. When the facts were brought out, Mr. Holm! swore out a warrant for Mrs. arrest.

When arraigned before Judge Irving H. Argali, she plead nnocence, but later broke down and admitted that she was guilty. In the meantime the husband was being tried before Justice William He gave an assignment of his wages at the Mary Charlotte mine one of the Negaunee merchants, but it was later found that he had left the employ of the company, and did not have any money coming to him. The Makis were arrested at the Cnlon depot, while about to board a trairt for the south. In both courts Mrs.

Makki feigned hysterics and told the judges and those present that she throught she was going to die. But when she saw her bluff did not work she braced up and put up stiff arguments to show that she was innocent. Makki was compelled to settle his Mil with the merchant and Mrs. Mak- paid a fine and costs. They both left the city on the next with instructions not to return.

She was been engaged in work on the steamer L. C.

Waldo, which was driven on Gull rock, near Manitou island, in the heavy November gale, and also on the steamer Turrett Chief, another freighter, which is almost high and dry on the rocks five miles from Copper Harbor. The sight of a large steamer coming into harbor on the 15th day of January, was a most unusual one, I and was watched with interest by hundreds of people, who had heard the whistle when she was still out in the lake.

The Favorite, which Is captained by Alex Cunning, of Port Huron, and has a crew of twenty-four men, went to Copper Harbor about Nov. 20, and has since that time been working on the two wrecks.

It was employed bv the company which held the insurance oil the steamer Turret Chief, but the work was abandoned until spring, after it had been in progress, but a short time. The steamer is firmly on the rocks five miles from Copper Harbor, at the northern end of tho Keweenaw peninsula, and is almost completely out of water.

Its position is not one of great danger, as it is sheltered from all northern gales. The boat was light when it went aground and it struck head on. stern is now more than eight feet out of water. The wreck occurred during the gale of Nov. 8-10, when the boat could not be held to its course.

It struck dur- out of every fifteen, owing to the heavy seas that have been running dur- ing a large part of time. Heavy i northwest winds have prevailed most of time during the past several weeks. However, much has been ae- complished on the days on which work on the steamer could be clone. The Waldo is now a mass of ice to I top of her funnels, which has cans I ed some delay. The Turret Chief is In the same condition.

The Favorite is here to coal at dock and to obtain a supply of provisions. She will probably return to Manitou Island tonight. No attempt was made by the tug to reach i Houghton, as Portage lake is now covered with a solid sheet of lee, which could be broken up only with i the greatest difficulty. The boat was I in Houghton about Christmas time, and the ice at that time caused some delay. There is no whatever in i the open lake, and no delay of any i kind was met with on the trip from i Manitoux island.
