conditions there.
Consul Slmplch, at Nogales, reported
that two Americans arrived there from
the Yaqul Valley. Ho gave them trans
portation to their former homes at Sacra
mento, Cal. These men stated their
homes and ranch buildings were burned
by the Indians, They were bram-hr nut
two years ago on the -cruiser Colorado,
but went back again, Slmplch added that
Nogales Is overrun with destitute refu
isee, from whom there is no work and
no help.
