OF this city, saying he has been investigating in
Mexico and Eagle Pass the Rasures murder, by
request of the mother and widow of the un-
fortunate man. Official search was made for

good man, and that his death was caused by
the action he took under orders on arresting
the two brothers-in-law of Mondragon. 1t is de-
clared that before they shot him they said to
him: 'This is the spot where you arrested and
dlsarmed them," allnding to the Mexicans. 10
