two women, A force Of Texans went in
pursuit Of the invaders, aud had a fight
with them near Zanquette, IN which one
Mexican and two Americans were killed.

bandits are now on American soil, and
that they have murdered several citizens

Olmos, in Nueees county, any the entire
region between that place and the Rio
Grande is infested BY lawless Mexican
bands, who are continually robbing, wound

their horses and cattle, through fear Of the

The greater portion Of the Rio Grande
