While in the city Sheriff Stewart told Officer Maney Clements that Johc- son or Musgrave was wanted in Eddy county for horse stealing and that he, with a pal, escaped from Otero county only a few moatbs ago, after being captured near Alamogordo.

The two men were captured by a posse after a running fight and one of them was sent to the penitentiary for life. The other Johnson, or Musgrave, jumped his bond fled to California where in company with James Taylor, another alleged member of tbe old Black Jack gang be obtained work on a bridge at Sin California, some three weeks ago. THE CAPTURE The two men spent their evenings in San Lucas, and something peculiar about their features attracted the attention of Constable Djeh. K'ferring to his roguers gallery, com posed of pictures clipped from the Police Gaz he was surprised to find faces that corresponded exactly with the description of Taylor and Johnson, two of tLe Biaci Jack gang. The officer said nothing, but kept close watch I them.

week there arrived at the express Oiiica frooi San Francisco a package for Taylor. The constable's curiosity was aroused to such a degree that he made bold to examine the contents and found that it contained a saddle of Mexican style, made by Gallup Frasier, Puehio, New Mexico, and an old style bridle with a Spanish bit. The saddle was in good condition, although there were a number of holes, on the cantel it wan evident that it had been the target of some expert marksman.

B. Cnisem at the Sheldon yesterday. Mr. Chisem is just from Guaymas and being engaged in mining in the aqui country is thoroughly acquainted with the situation. He says the Yaquis have not asked and will not ask for a settlement with the Mexican government for they know how useless their efforts in that direction would be.

There is nothing like a war in progress, says Mr. Chisem, but the Yaquis are giving tbe Mexican soldiers constant trouble. So determined are the warring element that they are trying to force the peaoeful Indians to pin their forces. These who have taken no part in the war have been driven from their homes to the low lands nearer Guaymas by the bloody shirts and are afraid to return home. While working in their fields many of the laborers have been shot down from ambush by the warriors for refusing to join their forces.

Nothing is known of the number of the rebellious element but they are thought to be very few they never maite a direct attack on the troops. Mr. Chisem says the death list is swelled by a few every day and that the casualties are few on account of tbe Yaquis going in such small bodies. Torres has treated tbe Yaquis too well, Mr.Chisem, now he will have to annihilate the earring element before the peaceful tribe can return to their homes and resume their work.
