nine out of twenty were captured
They made no show of resistance, but
retreated in all directions, leaving
their guns. saddles, etc. Among the
last captured is Carlos Baron, who is
wanted on this side for horse stealing
and murder. He will be extradited.
Arthur Topea was another. He
was noted desperate and was hung
yesterday by the rurals. He was one
of the principals in the Penascol

county. He.had two brothers who
were executed at Corpus Christi some
time since.

river with his horse. He was drown
tin Garara, also belonging to the
| band, was shot by Sheriff Brito, while
swimming the river, and he died last
Sunday from the effect of the
wounds.
Victor GalIegas, member OF the
band, was hung a few days since,
after making a con tession and giving
the names and hiding places of the
band. 1t was his confession that
led to the raid. In the raid several
stolen horses were recaptured. The
routed bands were regularly organ
lied, and had at their head some of
the most noted desperadoes on the
border. The principals escaped, but
the efficient WORK that can now be
done by the combined action of the
officers on both sides will make it
lively for the gentlemen of the brush.
