BANDITS QUICKLY Punished.
Seven Run the Gauntlet OF Mexican
Soldiers and are Killed.

4 Durango Mex special says: Troops
near san Miguel de Mequitll executed seven
bandits Wednesday for murder and rob-
berry committed at a hacienda owned by an
American named Mueller. The robbers, AS
sisted by some OF the local poems, attacked
the house while the family were at supper.
Mrs. Mueller. and her son, school-ieacheT,
and Mr. Mueller were present. The inten-
ton was only to Kill Mr. Mueller, for they
shot him tye times and then finished him
with knives. After eating the supper the
men searched the house aud store for all the
yaluables that could be found. Mrs. Mueller
was dragged about ronghly and compelled to
show wnere any Yaluables were kept.
se7cn u the murderers were arrested, and
the party started for the Judge at san Miguel
de Mequtal. But as ordinary trials are long,
cost money, and are not always either profit
able or satisfactory these seven prisoners
were given the short way TO justice by the
.'Ley de Fuego"-ihit IS that they were al
lowed to attempt to escape, and in this effort
for freedom were all shot dead. In Mexico
when any prisoner attempts to escape an
officer has the right to kill him on the spot.
The soldiers were in ildl pursuit OF the
others engaged in the robbery and murder,
and it is expected that all will be captured
and killed.

The wmIrE CAPs-AGAIN.
Indiana Citizens Aroused by Fresh
RrutnIiftea

4 Lelyenw0rth (lndlna) special says:
This town Is greatly excited again over the
li,t OF brutal outrages perpclatcd by the
White Caps" Jacob stree, who lives
st Boglrd's Fork, was the first victim OF the
despicablc wretche4 who engage in this kind
of yihinous work. band OF The Caps
went 20 Slrice's house az midnight, broke 10,
and dragged the man from his bell.
He was taken to tree near his house,
bound tightly, and then subjected 10 a most
brutal beating. while the Caps were dong
their dastardly work the wIie and children
Of Strce rushed from the hOuse and begged
piteously for mercy I'm behalf of the victim.
The villains were deaf to all entrcaties. They
finished their work and then lett Strce tied
io the tree in an almost insensible condition.
He was released by his wife. The Caps
charged him with intimacy with the wife OF
a neighb0r. lie l. prominent and respect
able citizen.
After leaving Strice the band proceeded 10
the house OF another man named salem Me-
Kan. There they repeated their outrage
upon Strice. Mckain received $50 lashcs on
hi. back and limbs, and was left bound. lie
was accused Of failure 10 support his family.
Both men were 20 terribly punished ds 20
render their condition very precTous. The
greatest excitement prevails here and
throughout the county. and the citizens,
giving up hope OF receiving protection at
the hands Of tue authorities, will organize a
defence association.
There were no good reasons for the as
saults upon McKain and STREE, and this fact
has only added 10 the determination 0i the
people here to seek revenge.

condition that Ro.rock will forever abstain
from the use OF intoxicating liquor. Such a
condition has never been imposed In pardon
issued by n Governor Of this State. The SUI
preme Court Of Iowa has held that the Gov
ernor may impose any condition he chooses
in granting a pardon, and that In case the
condition & ever violated the person par
doned may he rearrested on the order on the
Governor and made to serve the balance OF
his penalty. Attorney-General Bradford has
advised the Governor that such condition
as imposed In Rotrock's pardon would be
sustained bY the courts.
