Wright, commanding officer at Camp Doniphan, “While naturally disappointed at his inability to stand the hard strain of this war, he agreed that it would be foolhardy for him to attempt to retain his com- mand.

The conductor and an express messenger were among those killed. Reciting alleged demoralization of the labor situation in the country be- cause of high wages paid for govern- ment work, Senator King of Utah Friday introduced a resolution pro- posing an investigation by the Senate labor committee with a view to legis- lation standardizing wages.

Two of the dead at the village are women and were attacked with other women and girls before being slain, the Mexican dispatches say. The town was looted and sacked and all live stock driven off.
