Shaving Mexican bandits.


EAGLE Pass, Feb. 8, Especial, For
some days past trouble has been feared
by citizens OF Dimmitt county. Numer-
ous raids have been made from Mexico
and at every raid number of horses
and cattle have been driven over the
Rio Grande. Four rangers only were
allowed by the state to protect from in
cursions a frontier of over sixty miles.
and they have been practically useless,
Cattlemen of that section organized
vigilance committees and of late have
been nightly patro ling the river front
on their own account. Eleven Mexican
bandits in the last three weeks have
been found in Dimmitt county and
SHOT 10 Pieces.
Last night Samuel Jones, n prominent
stockman of this section. arrived here
and after tarrying long enough
TO lay in supply of arms
and ammunition, hurried back TO Car
rizo Springs, the county seat of Dim
mitt county, fifty miles distant from
this place. He reports that yesterday
morning, five miles from the river, VIM.
Negley, an officer of Medina county,
John Omeara, deputy sheriff of Dimmitt
| county, and two stock men, discovered
ward the Rio Grande. -Four of the Mex
leans hurried the cattle towards the
river and two stopped behind to stand
of helrpursuers. Negley ordered them
TO throw up their hands and
THEY REACHED FOR THEIR WINCHES-
TIERS.
The firing began and both the Mexicans
were riddled with bullets. Negley was
grazed across the breast and would have
been killed had not Omeara by u snap
shot brought down his adversary In the
nick o, time. The dead men were
from Preside Rio Grsnde md Mexico Meto
| Seven bandits are now confined at Car
rizo Springs and their friends and the
! dead mems friends threaten to raid and
! burn the town. There are some 800
armed mon In and near Carrie, and IL
IL said the Mexicans can bring supe-
rior force. Sheriff Oglesby, of this
place, has sent armed men to that local
ity, and Capt. Seiker's ranger company,
in camp at Uvalde, has left for the
scene of trouble. The Mexcans killed
yesterday swell the sum total of bandits
slain near CarrizO Springs, to thirteen
in the last three weeks, and the Mexi-
cans, who are camped ut the old Altita
rancho, Just over tho river, are mad
dened by the loss of their
comrades. Sheriff Tumlinson, of
Dimmitt county, Is an old
Mexican and Indian fighter, and per-
sists that ho can hold his town, but the
current opinion is that the more armed
Americans thrown into that place in the
next few days, the better 1t win be for
the
HELPLESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN
there confined. The niggardly policy
nj Iha = ata with raun IN nfI rl, f.,,,
tier protection is bitterly condemned.
The few United States regulars in the
country are absolutely useless, as
thousands Of yards of red tape have to
be unwound BET re they can be utilized.
TO THE RESCUE.
CoTULLA, Feb. g. Special. Rum
ners have arrived here from Carrizo
Springs asking aid to repel tho threat
ened attack of Mexican bandits. Sheriff
Mckinney left this morning with ten
well armed men. The distance is fifty
five miles.
AID FROM SAN ANTONIO.
SAN ANToN1o, Feb. Speciall--
Capt. Shooley,o the state troops, United
States Deputy Marshal Fred. Niggli,
and others, left to night for Carrizo
Springs, carrying arms and ammuni-
zion. IL is reported here that Que band
OF $50 MeNicans are advancing on the
town from west of Pona creek, and
large body, numbering over 800, are ad-
vancing by way OF Val Laws ranch,
direct from Altita
UVALDE's CONTINGENT.
UNALDE, Feb. 6.-lSpecial Cant.
Ed. SEEKER, with twenty rangers and 4
posse OF citizens, has left here for Car
rizo Springs. The distance Is sixty
miles. Mexicans all around here are
much excited by the reports of trouble
there.
MENICANs MADDENED AND HOLDING
MEETINGS.
Del Rio, Feb.6.-l Special. -Mexicans
opposite here have obtained the news of
the assassination of their countrymen
IN Dimmitt county, and are discussing
II eNcitedly. Meetings are held at all
the stores, and every one of them il
loud in condemnation of the killing.
American officers here are sharply on
the lookout.
THE LATEST on THE SITUATION.
SAN ANTONIO, Feb. T.--l A. M.-[Spe-
cial. lit is impossible to obtain further
news from Carrizo Springs tonight.
All the western telegraph offices have
closed. Carrizo Is fifty miles from the
nearest railway or telegraph station, In =
hilly, brushy country, fifteen miles from
the Rio Grande, and entirely isolated
liOli any tNtThueOuS assistance except
by forced marches. There is heavy
detachment of United States troops at
TT. Clark, 100 miles distant north, and
another at Laredo, ninety miles south,
but there IL no information OF their hay-
ing been called on, and thoy will proba-
bly, not be. The whole of The frontier,
200 miles long, is constantly open TO pre-
datory incursions, and the United States
posts are objects rather of Mex
ican curiosity than fear. Rapino raids,
and cohnter-raids, murders and coun-
ter-murders have been unusually COM
mon of late in that section, and the
threatened abolishmont of the state
troops has tended TO make them
more so.
