THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY. AUGUST 9, 191Y. RESCUERS RACE TO SAYE MINERS Apache Indian Uprising in West to Be Harshly Dealt With by Hangers and Cowboys. Phoenix, Ariz., Aug. 8. Long dis tance telephone messages from Globe and Miami today indicated that the little band of Asbestos miners and friendly cowboys beleaguered in a dugout in the Sierra Anchas moun tains by warring Apache Indians and unfriendly Mexicans still were holding out, although their supplies of ammu- , nition and food were runinng perilous ly low. ... The scene of the uprising is about fifty miles northwest of Globe, near the Tonto range, and lies close to the boundaries of the San Carlos In dian reservation. From news ema nating from Globe, it is learned that '. Deputy Sheriff Dan Armer and his ' : posse of cowboys are pushing their mounts to the limit of endurance in order to reach the scene in time to save the little garrison. Forest Fires Raging. The Indian agent of the San Carlos reservation in a telephone message to Globe asserted that he had no definite information regarding he trouble, but that he was conducting an investiga tion. Rangers and cowboys are fighting to combat the forest fires raging in the vicinity of the Tonto, according to latest advices, and it is believed the flames will be brought under control with the arrival of the posses and neighboring ranch hands. The Apache Indians employed at the Asbestos properties are chiefly employed to transport the ora to the railroad, conveying the sacks laden with the white metal to the Roosevelt dam where it is ferried across and loaded on automobile trucks to be transported to Globe. These Indians, it is said, are receiv ing a wage of $5 a day. The higher wage scale demanded, it is said by nine owners would render a closing down of the Asbestos properties im perative. " a Higher Wages Demanded. , "The difficulties and cost of trans porting the ore by pack " mule and automobile trucks to the railroads," taid one operator, "makes it impos sible for the owners to receive a numerative profit. Therefore, the Jiigher wage scale to us seemed tin- reasonable. Communication necessarily is slow In the mountains and it may be twenty-four hours or more before the news of the action taken by the cow boys and posse reaches the outside world. ' - ' Rangers to the Rescue. Globe, A"riz;, Aug. 8.A force of mounted rangers, led by Deputy Sher iff Dan Armer, were expected today to reach the scene of the Apache In dian uprising in the Sierra Anchas mountains, rifty miles northwest of liere, where nine white men, employes cf the asbestos mines in that region, were reported early today to be sur rounded in a dugout by a mob of mote than 100 striking Indian and Mexican miners, while a forest fire set by Indians was sweeping . the mountains.' 1 : Deputy Sheriff Armer "and his men left here on horseback early last night for the fifty-mile ride over the rug ged mountain trails to the rescue of the white men threatened by the un ruly Indians. i V . Rangers Rush to Scene. Other forces of cowboys and for est rangers are hurrying to the im periled white men's assistance from the Tonto and from Roosevelt, while still others hurried by automobile to Rice, where they expected to obtain fiorses for the rtde to the mines.' First news of the troubles, which Jegan yesterday morning when Apache Indians and Mexicans who fcere employed in the asbestos mines ,Jkent on strike for higher pay, was received last night in a telephone friessage from a forest ranger who had fridden twenty-five miles to give the lilarm. The ranger reported thut the Indiana had' set fire to the forests ind had been prevented from burn tig the mine buildings only by prompt fction of the guards. , White Driven Out. At midnight another message was Ieceived saying the nine white men ti the camp had been driven into a jSugout on the mountain side and were surrounded by the howling Indians and their Mexican comrades. Them supplied with only a few rounds of ammunition and a small quantity of provisions and it was feared they would not be able to withstand the lombined assault of the warriors and the forest fire. Because of the lack of communica tion, all messages having to be carried on horseback twenty-five miles to a telephone, details of the uprising were not known here, but reports indi cated that two organjzers of the In dustrial Workers of the World, one a Mexican, who spoke the Apache tongue, had been working among the men for the. last week and had in stigated the strike which led to the revolt. .

Hair Often Ruined By Washing With Soap Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair look ing its best. Most soaps and pre pared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes 'the hair brittle and ruins it. The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is Detter than tne most expensive soap or anything else you can use. : . . . One or two teaspoonf uls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten' the hair with water nd rub it in. It makes an abund ance -ot rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every par ticle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex . cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp oft and the hair fine and silky, right, lustrous, fluffy and easy to tnanage.- ' You can get mulsified cocoanut til at any pharmacy; it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every Member cf the' h;it for months. Exams for Drafted' Men Was Completed Wednesday Evening (Continued From Pago On.) man would read with one eye a while and then with the other. His eye sight claim was rejected. Lots of these bluffers are found. Treated as Deserters. According to the latest word from Washington any man man failing to report for physical examination will be a deserter from the army and will be treated as such. - When the districts close they will make out a list of the men that have not reported and forward it to the adjutant general. The adjutant gen eral will then forward a letter to the address from which the man reg istered, informing him that he is con scripted into the army from the date the letter was sent. If the man does not report he is a deserter and will be hunted down by men appointed for that purpose. Some twenty-five notices sent out in the Fifth were returned and the men have nor' reported. Over fifty were returned in the Third. Medical Students Not Exempt. A letter from Governor Neville to the Fifth exemption district states that no medical students can be exempted, but will have to go to the front the same as the other drafted men, if this is their only cause for exemption. Members of the senior class of the University of Nebraska, however, probably will be given their diplomas and this will enable them to enter the medical corps of the army without further preparation. Most of the fathers of the boys in the medical colleges think that their sons should be allowed to finish, as this would make them of more serv ice to the government than if they went into the infantry. Big Exemption in Fourth. All but a very few were examined in the Fourth district before thjy closed Tuesday evening. The balance were examined Wednesday afternoon after 4 o'clock. Over 500 men had been examined and, - according to Acting County Judge Sundblad, only about 15 per cent of. these were ready to go to war. The other 85 per cent will file exemption claims. This is the last day in which they can file their claims before the board. Ten days is then allowed them to get in their affidavits to prove their claims. If they are not satisfied with the ruling of the local board they are then given three more days to appeal to the district board. "I wish to file lfriy claims for ex emption," stated a young man who came into the Fifth district office. "On what grounds?" asked the judge. "Well, I have to support my mother-in-law." "What? A man wants to support his mother-in-law?" "Yes." "Give him papers quick," were the orders to the clerk. Weigh Part at a Time. Of the first six men examined and Eassed by the South Side exemption oard, Jen Jensen, 1634 Madison street, was the only one who does not claim exemption. He is a Clerk in a local store.. He is 29 years old and is unmarried. -'.', Leo Hall, who is in jail awaiting trial for breaking into a box car at Valley, was taken out of jail and brought before the examining board by Deputy United States Marshal Quinley. He passed the physical ex amination and does not claim exemp tion. A big negro was being weighed. "Gee, we don't have weights enough," grumbled the doctors. Perry Wheeler, clerk of the exemp tion board, who is never too busy to give advice, looked up from his papers and suggested: "Why don't yoa weigh him a part at a time: let him stand first on one foot and then the other."
