Raid into Mexico by Texas Cow. Boys.

SAN Francisco, June 16.-A Tucson dis
patch states About three weeks ago four
Americans were killed near Trintares, in
Chihuahua, three OF whom are supposed to
have been cow.b boys. For the last week
cowboys have been concentrating near
Galeyyille, with the avowed purpose Of
avengiDg the death OF their comrades.
They threatened to take Trintares last week.
Word was sent to the Mexican consul at
this place, who sent warning to the people
at Trintares, and also notified the Mexican
Federal troops, of which there are two hun
dled stationed on San Bernardino ranch.
Yesterday morning the cowboys, seventy
in number, well equipped, left Wilcox for
the purpose OF carrying out their threats,
and it Is believed there will be bloody work,
as they are the most reckless gang Of de'pe-
radoes ever banded together. The Mexi-
cans will either have TO leave the place or
make hard fight. Trintares is about forty
miles from Wilcox.

have secured the first place. The distance
between him and the winner was only four

suit is very credtable to him. He is en-
tered yet for the Travers stakes in July, the
jersey st. Leger in August, the Dixie In
October, and it is to be hoped that he will
not only have better luck, but better
rider. Beside Eoe and bis dam, Captain

Major boswell few days ago asking II he
would take $4,000 for Eoe. He left the
matter in Major Doswell's hands.
