FORMER RICHMOND SAVED FROM THE

Edward ' Wiggins, a former Richmond man, who has been a mining prospector in the West and Southwest for many years, can give positive testimony that the Mexican revolutionists respect neither the lives nor the property of Americans who are living in some parts of that tottering republic. Wiggins has just reached Los Angeles, Cal., penniless as a result of the raid on his mining camp by Mexican rebels which brought about a pitched battle and in which. Wigging not only saw his partner and three of his employes shot to death, and nineteen Mexicans killed, but himself escaped a horrible death only through a ruse of his wife who succeeded in making the rebels believe that he was an Englishman and -not an American. Writes to His Sister. In a letter received from Wiggins by Wayne county relatives, among them Mrs. John Macy, of Economy, a sister, he tells of his experience. "Our gold mine is located about 55 miles east and north of Culiacan, Sinaloa," he writes, "and we ran a general store and mill in conjunction with the mine. "On the morning of August 27, an advance scout of the rebels rode into camp and asked for something to eat. Mrs. Wiggins gave it to him. He rode away and about 11 a. m. a band of rebels consisting of about 100 men came riding into camp. I went out to meet them. The leader demanded provisions and money, to which I answered that we could not supply them. He merely smiled and said he would see about it. We thought it the part of prudence! to invite him to luncheon. He accepted and went back to his men after he had eaten. .Finds Store in Flames. "About a half hour after he left a Mexican boy directed my attention to AMERICANS KILLED BY MEXICAN REBELS Vice Consul Calaghan Slain and Two Ranchers Killed in Rebel Attack. 1 MEXICO CITY, Oct. 2. Three American citizens, among them an of ficial of the United States government were murdered by Mexican insurrectos in Marengo Sunday night, according to an official report received today by Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson. The . victims were Allen Calaghan, United States vice-consul Durango; A. C. Cliff, owner of the San Juan Tavishe ranch; Herbert L.- Russell, manager of the branch. v The report came from former Unit ed States Consul Haram, now living in Durango. Two hundred rebels attacked the ranch and after shooting down the American ; subjects, looted the ranch houses and took all the cattle, horses and ammunition. Mr. Hamm requested Ambasador Wilson to appeal to President Madero o send enough federal soldiers into Durango to capture and punish the rebels. VOTERS AR URGED To Secure Removal Certificatest Once. For , the accommodations of voters who have moved-' from one precinct to another after ',tney -have registered. County Auditor Bowman will keep his office open Thnrsday evening from 7 to 8 o'clock, . Removal certificates may be secured any time until , then and during these hours on Thursday evening.'" ; ' . Thursday is the last day on which voters can be sure of securing removal certificates. Registration clerks under the law can demand the books Friday morning. County Auditor- Bow man has sent a circular to inspectors asking them to leave the books in his office until Saturday evening, but he has no authority to -demand that inspectors respect his request.

IS the general store of the mine, about a half mile away. I turned and saw the store in flames. On reaching the store door, I found my partner Ed McMasters, dead with a bullet through his body and a number of stllleto cuts in his chest I pulled his body out of reach of the flames and was ordered by the rebel leader to go back to the mine. t "I directed my men to go on with the work as if nothing had happened, -thinking if we offered no resistance the rebels would not molest us. The foreman of the camp asked me for the key to the powder magazine which I gave him. He filled a sack with sticks of dynamite and before I had an opportunity to question him threw the whole sack into the midst of the rebels. "The explosion killed 19 rebels and wounded 10 others. The foreman was immediately riddled with bullets. The rest of the rebels rode into our camp, seized over ?3,000 worth of gold, and took me to their camp a prisoner. Strung Up by the Arme. "Early next morning I was notified that they had decided to shoot me, declaring that I had instigated the dynamiting. My pleadings and my wife's were in vain and I was strung up by the arms on a rope hanging from a peg in an adobe chimney. While I hung there my wife continued to plead with the leader, until 10 o'clock when they to'.d her I must die,T had bung there for four hours. My wife then threw an English flag over me and dared them to shoot. She had .previously told them she was an Englishwoman and that' heir nation would avenge my death. The threat saved my life, but I was ordered to leave the country at once. I departed, leaving behind me three men of my camp dead and all I had invested in the mine." WAYNE COUNTY MEN Oil.

That he would believe them guilty until evidence showed them to be innocent, was the statement of the witness, and District Attorney Miller then withdrew an objection he had made to the challenge. Hunt was set aside. T. P. Crist, who lives at Milton, said he had no prejudice against labor unions. He said .he had been reading only headlines in newspapers, concerning the case. He said he had no opinion about the case. ' "Suppose during this case you made up your mind that the government had failed to convince you that the guilty beyond fa reasonable . doubt, . and the opinion; of the public outside did not agree with you, would that influence you?"

J. M. DIXON IN TELLING OF

ARRAIGNMENT Insists that Senate Committee Summon the Contributors to the Republican Campaign Fund. PLUTOCRATS BACK WILSON AND TAFT Dixon Asserts that He Will ! Compel the Committee to Put the Cards on the Table for All. , (National News Association) . WASHINGTON, Oct., 2.-Senator Joseph M. Dixon, campaign manager for Theodore Roosevelt was in a fighting mood before he was called as a witness by. the senate committee investigating campaign receipts and expenditures. Senator Dixon gave out a statement in which he said: "I am going to make them put the cards on the table. I am not going to let them make it appear that Colonel Roosevelt accepted large campaign contributions from corporations and people who contributed for favors. I will force them to subpoena Charles P. Taft, Charles D. Hilles, George Harvey, William G. McAdoo and William S. McCombs. If they refuse to call the man I name, I will convict that committee of the cheapest petit larceny game that has ever been played on the American people. "There are a thousand plutocrats behind Wilson and Taft, and because a couple of wealthy men gave money -1 to Roosevelt's campaign, they are in stituting this investigation. After they get through with Roosevelt they will try to adjourn without trying to bring out the sources of the Wilson and Taft campaign funds." v Wants Other Called. . The senator asserted that he would ask the committee to call the manager for Oscar V W.- Underwood, Champ Clark and Governor Harmon. :."" VThe Seabord Airline and the Southe1rrace wood pre - convention campaign, and I am going to give the committee the name of the man that tapped the till for Underwood," declared the Senator. Chairman Clapp pointed r out that practically every man. named by Dixon has already been "invited to tesetlfy." ' President James G. Cannon, of the Fourth National Bank, of New York, who audited the account of Cornelius Bliss as treasurer of the Republican National committee in 1904 was thai first witness today. Mr. Cannon statin ed that he had not seen a list of the contributors and that he had not discussed them with Mr. Bliss with whom he was intimately acquainted. Mr. Cannon promised to search theTecord of the Fourth National Bank in an effort to determine whether the reported gift of $100,000 by the Standard Oil company was deposited by Bliss as treasurer of the committee, but de clared that it was the custom of all banks to destroy all records and books after the death of the depositor. Dixon's Testimony. Senator Dixon testified that he had charge of the pre-convention fight of Colonel -Roosevelt and also had . managed the campaign since the Chicago Progressive convention. , Telling of contributions, Mr. Dixon said that Frank A. Munsey was the first to contribute. He gave $5,000,. as a first installment. William Eno, Uncle of G!fford Pinchot gave $5,000. George ;.W. Perkins gave $5,000. Dan Hannpent some money,' but Mr. Dixon did t not remember how much. From time to time Munsey, Perkins and Hanna sent In money until the total reached about $96,000.
