Nows comes from Tucson, Arizona, that Yaqul Indians held up tho stngo which runs between Potnm and Torin on tho Yaqul river In Sonorn on last Tucsdny night, killing all of tho six passengers. Among them was Flllbor-to Flllbor-to Alverndo, a wealthy Mexican, who owns a number of jancbes along the Yaqul river. Tho hold-up took placo about half way between tho two towns, but Just how tho stnge wns attacked will never bo known, as nil of tho panscngers nnd tho drlvor wero killed. They wpro picked up tho samo afternoon of tho tragedy, and tho circumstances give ovldenco that they put up a fight, clso they would not havo all been killed. Their bodies woro rifled of ovorytbing of value on thorn. Tho traces had been cut and tho horses hnd been allowed to run wild. Tho cover of tho stngo and tho body wero both shot full of holes. Alverndo had been married only two months. With him wero Senorltn Julia Bordo and Senorltn C. II. Do Gonzales, both of prominent fnmlllcs ln that country, and both of whom were mur dered. Advices from ITcrmoslllo, Mexico, state that ono mora body has been found nenr tho point of tho hold-up nnd massacre of passengers of tho stage running between Torin and Potnm. Tho body found is that of n woman. It had been terribly mutilated and after-ward after-ward dragged a distance of fifty yards Into tho bushes. A pleco of rope was found around tho neck of tho body, showing that tho woman had been choked to death. Two companies of soldiers, besides the brother of Alverndo, aro on the trail of tho muidorers, nnd If caught thero will surely bo a lynching bee. |
