MEXICANS RUN OUT OF
CHRISTMAS FOR THREATS
HAYDEN, April 26.-The Mexican portion of the population of Christmas have been threatening to give trouble since the effort to capture Augustine Sanchez, following the shooting of Deputy Sheriff Frank of that place on April 9. Mr. Cree, manager of the company store, received a letter, signed "A Mexican," giving the names of 11 other Mexicans who were plotting to burn the home of the four men who took the prominent part in the pursuit of Sanchez. The authorities of Winkleman and Hayden were notified and several armed deputies spent the night in Christmas guarding the place. The following day the plotters were rounded up and driven out of camp.
All has been quiet since, and no further trouble is anticipated since the ring-leaders have departed. Sanchez is still at large. Belief that he is hiding in the hills near Christmas is held by the authorities.
