The third child, however, was born normal. It was this peculiarity that arous- ed the enmity of the Yaqui several years ago. They saw Watson con- versing on his fingers with his wife. -They had never heard him utter a word, Such symptoms, according to . the Indians' creed; were unfailing proofs that the evil spirit lived within the man. They believed the harness maker accursed and considered it hunting grounds, to exterminate him. i On nine occasions Watson was am- by the would-be assassins, 3but escaped the bullets that were sent to take his life. These attempts, how- \ever were but preliminaries. It was fduring the closing hours of the first joattle of Cananea, fought March 23, 24 and 25, 1913, that the grand and 'final atteript was made, and the In- 'dians failing in this, became the re- ligious slaves of the harness maker. 'Alvaro Dieguez, visited Cananea and, breaking into the little Watson home, femanded gold. /atson, being deaf 'and dumb, could not understand the soldiers, Angered at what they deem 'ed his refusal to comply with their demand, Captain Diaguez stood the unhappy man and his wife against the wall of their bedroom. A firing squad * bad already formed opposite them, when the ery of the third child at- tracted the officer's attention. Seized with a sudden inspiration, Diaguez went over to the crib and lifted the infant out. Then he smatch- _ed up the diminutive mattress. Gold rained onto the floor. The crib was \Watson's hiding place for his horde. The baby's tries had saved its par- ents' lives, for the Mexicans, having got what they sought, left the couple unharmed, * Hardly had the Villistas galloped out of the town before the 'Advanced detachment of the federal troops gal- loped in from the south. An hour lat er a hatless peon raced through the streets crying out that a large force of. Constituttonalistas-the - Carranza troops-were approaching. to The battle of Cananea is bistory that needs no comment hers. How- ever, historians overlooked D. O. Wat» son, who proved to be the most unique figure in the engagement. It was on the third day of the fighting, when victory was assured for the Constitutionalistas, that the Yaquis remembered the \evil spirit\ and set about a united attempt to crush it, in the person of the harness maker, A small band of the Indians, a score, perhaps, happened to ap proach the Watson home and deploy. ed cautiously to the rear. There they saw the harness maker serted calmly on a fence a stick with a jackknife. He had heard nothing of the battle going on around him, and wag totally unconsclous that anything was wrong. It appeared to be \sasy plokings\ for the Indians. They lovoled theip guns and took pot shots. The combined reports of their weapons roared like cannon, and a score of bullets whizzed past Wat- son's head. Miraculously he escaped being hit, and being deaf, he heard nothing,. Calmly he continued whit tling his stick, The Indians were nonpulsed, 'They refused to belfeve their markmanship was faulty. The Yaquis' deadly fre is most to be feared of all Mexican soldiery. Yet, there sat Watson un- scathed, and, more astonishing than ever, making no effort to escape. They held a pow-wow for discus sion of the miracle. Tremendously effected, the Indians suddenly dash ed forward and began the execution of a religious war dance around the mute, No longer did they belleve him accursed with an \evil spirit,\ but rather blessed with the spirit for good, which defied even bullets. Even until his death, refugees who knew the man declared he wielded a} vast influence with the Indians. acting | as their mentor often in matters of grave importance to them. Nor did they ever attribute the \spirit for good\ within him to the fact that he was a mute. \““““““““““\“‘“““‘v NORTHERN i TO COLLECT GARBAGE, POTSDAM -This village faces the 'proposition of municipal garbage col- lection and disposal as a result of the refusal of John Bush to collect the 'garbage in the village limits as he 'has been doing for the past few years, ', Bush, who owns a piggery on the Hop 7: iwrork and washing : kins road, has maintained a collection: : service without cost to the village.
