something larger force. The two narties canned
within two leagues Of each other night before

attacked by Canales yesterday morning.
In partial explanation Of what we have stateA
1t may be added that a train of twenty wagsna
which left here some lime since with machinery
~ cotton factory IN Durango, returned to THU
city yesterday. The train was seized by Cortinah
robbers and held under guard about five days, has
We presume that Cortina preferred little ready
cash fo q numbering train, especially as Canalea
was at his heels. EE s.

back side. *

camp they would never have returned
eortina was on the San Fernando road, and M

IN fact, Canales had reconnoitered Cortina'H II 1
wen as the train camp, and but for the fortuzase
departure OF the train at IL o'clock at night it toe

Cortina will probably lnxuriate for avs7e
among Ms sympathizing co-reunblicans in iisfse
road robbery and murder. The game is easier
and less dangerous over there.
