| Special To the LIGHT.
UyALDE, July 1.-The coroner's in
! quest on the body OF the Mexican horse
thief, notice of whose death was con-
tanned in your issue Of June 80, has been
held, and the body buried in the ground
where Ii lay after the ARRAY with the
officers. From facts elected at the in
! quest, there Is no reasonable doubt that
the deceased and his pal, who escaped,
wounded, in the darkness, belonged TO
the gang Of cut throats and horse thieves
who are operating between San An
tonic and Mexico. There were two
members of the same gang recently
brought here from Garlic Springs after
making murderous attack upon the otfi-
GERS who arrested them, and seriously
woundIng the deputy sheriff. They all
belong to the same gang who have been
giving our officers so much trouble, and
1t is now believed that the German
baker murdered and robbed here some
weeks since was the victim of these
same cut throats.
