Attacking Force Leaves Six of Its Number Dead on the Field. Special Dispatch to The Call. PHOENIX, A. ., March 4.—News reached here this morning of a battle be- tween a large force of Yaqui Indians and a troop of Mexican rangers, under the command of Colonel Navarro, near Petaco, a small pueblo 10 miles east of Guaymas. The Rangers were ambushed, but man- aged to reach a stone corral and from that barricade poured a deadly fire into the Indian forces. After twé hours’ shooting the Yaqulsl retired, leaving six of their number dead on the field. Three Mexicans were wounded. Navarro's force had for two weeks been in pursuit of a large band of Yaqui rene- gades, which was “‘rustling’’ cattle along the Sierra Madre range. It is believea that this band makes up the remnant of the Yaqui warring forces. Relnforcements from varro Torrents Uncover Nuggets.

Yesterday's race does not bear out such statements. As stated in The Call some days ago, Johnny Bullman will fide the coming sea- #on for August Belmont, and leaves for New York this forenocn.

TO BE REINSTATED Janitor of Lowell High School Anx- ious to Do Some More Climbing. ‘Walter J. Thompson has petitioned the Roard of Education for reinstatement to his position as janitor of the Lowell High School. Thompson has been out since January, 1900, owing to injuries receivea through a fall while in the discharge of his duty, so he.claims. Principal Frank P. Morton has a different story to tell. Janitor Thompson claims that Morton was overbearing in his demands, going 80 far as to insist upon having a fire in his office on his arrival in the morning. Thompson made constant requests for a key to the office, which he claims Morten did as constantly refuse, so the janitor was obliged to obtain access to the pri- vate office through a window from an ad- Jjoining’ room. One morning while climbing along the damp ledge he slipped and fell a distance of thirty feet, falling on a stairway and fracturing the bones of his shoulder ana right leg. Because of the injuries thus sustained he was laid up for monthg. Morton Jayu in defense that the reason he refused to give up a key was because he had many valuables in his office and he and the vice principal were the only ones who had Keys at any time. He de. | clares that for twelve years no request | had been made by the janitors for keys | to his private office. thought nothing of Janitor Thomj daily house-climbing feat, as Mrs. Thomp- son had told him that her husband used to be a painter and didn’t mind it at all.

Lane, a young New Zealander, February 19, and induced him | to accompany him to a house on Taylor | street to get a permit to visit the Mint. There Lane was introduced to a “Major” and “Doctor” who were playing poker. Lane was invited to play and sald he did not understand any game of cards extept euchre. Wilson offered to stand his spon- sor, and three hands were dealt and sealed in envelones. Wilson went te a bank with Lane, who drew out $300, and returned with him to ‘the house on Tay- lor street. Lame put up the 3300 on tha | hand deait him, and when the envelopes were opened he ‘'was told that he had lost. Wilson pretended to take pity on him and gave him a certificate for 0 shares of mining stock with a letter of intreduc- tlon to “Major Van Pelt, Hotel Butler, Seattle,” who would buy the stock. Lane went to Seattle and of course no ome knew “Major Van Pelt.” Lane then re- turned to this city and notified the po- Jice of the robbery. After Wilson’s arrest a woman claiming to be his wife called upon Lane and gave him $15, begging him not to testify against her husband. — e Civil Service Examinations. | The United States Civil Service Com- mission announces that on March 1§ an examination will be held in San Fran- cisco and elsewhere for positions of archi- tectural draughtsman, Philippine service, as follows: Ome architectural draughts- man at $1600 per annum, with experience | in. superintending construction; one archi- tectural draughtsman at 31400 per anaum, with experience to qualify him for the position of head draughtsman; one archi- | tectural draughtsman at $1200 per annum, with a knowledge of water coloring, and one architectural draughtsman at $1200 per annum.

Mains, prisoner and de- fendant on a charge of using the mails for fraudulent purposes, achieved a legal victory vesterday when United States District Judge de Haven dismissed the in- dictment against him and his alleged ac- complice, Walter Scott Gifford, en the motion made by Mains a few days ago. In rendering his opinion Judge de Haven said that there was but one ecount in the indictment, charging the defendants with having deposited two letters in the United States Postoffice for the purpose of carry- ing out a scheme to defraud. The statut under which the defendants are indiete makes each letter deposited in the post- office for the purpose of carrying out a fraudulent scheme a distinct offense. Con- tinuing, Judge de Haven said: It s an elementary rule of criminal law pleading that two or more separate offenses cannot be joined in a single count.
