CALKXICO, Cal.. .Ian. 14.—Colonel Harry
G. Bishop aud Lieutenant W. A. Robert
son, the lost aviators, may have fallen Into
the hands of Yaqul Indians, more or less
hostile towards hII strangers. Some ap
prehension on this score ls>felt here among
army officers.
Captain Jalmes of Governor Cantu's com
mand, Is authority for the statement that
two squads of Mexican soldiers, at the
farthest eamps. sixty five inlles aud ninety
miles, respectively, below Mexican and east
of the southerly end of the Cocopah Moun-
tains, saw the aeroplane Wednesday. The
machine was headed east towards the old
lied of the Colorado River, which forms
the Lower Callfornla-Nonora boundary.
That was shortly after noon Wednesday.
It Is about ten miles fro mwhere the sol
dlftrs saw the aviators to the old river lied.
The Mexicans believe Bishop and Robertson
cither landed lu this pocket between the
two river beds, which come together ut the
head of the golf, or that they flew but a
short dlstsnec across Into Sonoru before
being compelled to land.
Captain Jalnies asserts that several small
groups of Ysquls of unfriendly attitude
live In villages nlong the Konora side of
tile old river bed. Rut Mexican Consul
I'll redes declares no Yaqnis are In that re
glon. Pnredes said Ihe few Indians In that
district arc Pupogoes aud Cocopuhs, and
both are entirely friendly.
