Gustavo Madero, brother of Presi

After some street fighting in
Which about 150 were killed, the
government succeeded in regaining
partial control. President Madero
led the loyal troops for a part of
the time. The insurgents released
Felix Diaz and Bernardo Reyes.
General Villar, a loyalist, was kill

Felix Diaz and his followers- gain

the administration.
General Bernardo Reyes, ex-secretary
of war was shot through the
head and killed in front of the nat

troops took place early in the morning-
at frequent intervals throughout
the day.
President Madero and members of

ANCIENT BURYING
GROUND UNCOVERED
Skeletons Found Indicate That, Race
Of Giants Once Lived on Banks
Of Sycamore Creek.
A prehistoric graveyard on Syca
more creek, where the grade of the
Verde railway passes through,, has
been uncovered by a crew of labor
ers under the direction of Conductor
C W. Corbin, in performing certain
excavations to improve the roadway.
There has 'thus been revealed a
very interesting situation that pre
vailed at some time or another, in
the physical make-up of a race as
is reflected in the massive remains
that have been recovered, and which
are indisputable of a giant type of
humanity that is bewildering to
those of this generation. The skull
of a human is in the possesion of
Mr. Corbin together with a portion
of the "frame, that would indicate
one who in life must have attained
a heighth of at least eight feet.
The sides of the face have been
severed, but when placed in their

eluding the most of the artillery
and in possession of the arsenal and
powder works nearby.
Madero is relying on the loyalty
of General Blanquet, who has been
summoned from Toluco, 40 miles
distant. But Blanquet has only one
thousand at his command and the
rebels arc confident of defeating him
should he refuse to join the revolt.
The day was marked by four sep
arate engagements of the most san
guinary of which was in fr6nt of the
palace but the most important was
that which' terminated in the formal
surrender of the troops of artillery
at the barracks.
It is believed that not less' than
200 were killed, among them Gen--
eral Bernardo Reyes.
Led by the students of the mili
tary school they first released Diaz
and then Reyes with no resistance, f
Portions of the First Cavalry, 24th
Cavalry, and 20th Infantry quickly
joined the rcvoltcrs. General Mon-
dragon who was in command retired
in favor of Reyes and Diaz.
The first encounter of the loyal
troops was at 8:30 in front of the
palace, Reyes was killed instantly by
a bullet through the Jiead. Many fell,
among the scores of bodies were
those of officers,' women and boys,
members of the great crowd which
assembled when the firing begun.
General 'Lauro, -Villar, the post
commander . at the capital who re
mained .loyal, was slightly wounded
as was also General Pena, the min
ister of war.

dent took command of a force of ap

living they were so massive as to"
shield the features like unto a per
fect mask. The bones of the legs
likewise are of greater length and
heavier than any of this day.
That a prehistoric burying place
has been determined is proven in
the finding of a handful of beads,
which archaeologists trace to the
Toltec period. These precious or
naments were kept by the Mex
ican laborers, and cannot be secured.
Mr. Corbin, however, verifies the
discovery made, and at the time did
not appreciate what their possession
meant, else would have secured the
the lot.

plicate of that discovered some
months ago by Peter Marx on Wal
nut creek, which the owner retains
in his possession.

FEBRUARY.
February, month of glee,
Youngest child of winter's three,
Comes along amid the snow
When the winds of winter blow,
Singing such a lively tune,
Making winter bright as June.
Takes from art her mantle fine
Lovers' dainty valentine.
Tells of cupid, shy yet bold,
Story that shall ne'er grow old
Making maidens blush and smile,
As they read of love the while.
Though she speedeth by so fast,
When the winter's over past
She shall long remembered be
Youngest child of winter's three.

The social column will be discon
tinued during the Lenten season, as
many of the hostesses have decided
to 'rest after the numerous festivities
and gayeties of the winter, so there
will be quite a lull in entertaining.
Among the largest and most suc
cessful functions given this season,
was the luncheon which took place
on Tuesday afternoon at which Mrs.
John C. Hcrndon, Mrs. Morris Gold
water, Mrs. David W. Russell and
Miss Olive Fisher presided, .atjihe
Yavapai club.
Promptly at 2 o'clock the guests
assembled in the spacious dining
room where tables, daintily decorat
ed with candles, wreathed in fluffy
pink and encircled with strands of
smilax, accommodated the guests
who numbered over a hundred.
In the drawing room and ball
room, where the guests were receiv
ed after luncheon, were decorations
of enchantress carnations, pink tulle
and a graceful arrangement of
greenery. In the larger room tables
were arranged for "500", while the
smaller one was chosen for those
who wished to sew. For the enter
tainment of these friends a guessing
game was also introduced at which
Mrs. H. T. Southworth "was the
fortunate contestant. Exquisitely
designed bags in pink were the priz
es and of the "500' players Mrs. O.
A. Hcsla and Mrs. James A. Hope
made the highest scores of the af
ternoon while the "slam" honors
were won by Mrs. Charles C. Kecl

UNINTENTIONAL ERROR.
(From Tuesday's Daily.)
In the report of the preliminary
examination of J. H. Morrison on
a charge of killing Ed. Zicger, an
error was unintentionally made in
the testimony of the defendant. The
account stated that Morrison said:
"I knew Zieger had killed men and
beaten up others who did not agree
with him" when the language should
have been: "I have seen that man
shoot people down there one In
dian I have known of his beating
up several men and I never knew
him to be arrested yet."
delegates to the Federation gave her
report, which consisted of a most
entertaining review of the work
done at the annual convention at
Douglas.
The club decided to hold a series
of card parties open to the public
the first to take place next Tues
day evening at the club house.
A minstrel show and county fair
