Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
EAGLE PASS, Tex. Aug. 22.-Mr. G.
c. Bethel, the popular conductor of the
Mexican International out of this place,
was shot and instantly killed last night
while discharging his duties at Priotesa,
a little station on the line of the road.
The details are as follows: A Mexican
smuggler by the name of ROdiqueZ
boarded the train at AlIendethe station
on this side, and attempted to steal a
ride to Sabinas, where he keeps a small
store, but was caught in the act and put
off the train at Peytas. The train
pulled out and the Mexican again jumped
on the rear end of the sleeper and was
caught again by Conductor Bethel, who
again demanded fare, only to be refused
with an oath. At the same time ROdiqueZ
pulled his sixshooter. Conductor Bethel
was unarmed and entered the sleeper
for his pistol. The Mexican hid himself
inside the door, and upon Bethel's re-
turn, just as he had passed the door, the
Mexican opened fire, shooting the whole
top of Bethel S head off. Leaving all his
contraband goods on board, Rodriguez
jumped from the moving train and took
to the brush. A posse of rangers are in
hot pursuit and his capture is almost GER
tain. Conductor Bethel leaves a wife
and two children. he was member of
the San Antonio division of railway con-
ductors, also a Knight Templar, Odd
Fellow and Knight of Pythias.
FROM SAN ANTONIO.
Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX. Aug. 22.-Pas-
sengers arriving in the city to-day from
the west on the Southern Pacific bring
meager particulars of the murder of C.
@. Bethel, passenger conductor on the
Mexican international railroad. The
murder occurred Yesterday evening at a
station called Peytas, ninety miles from
Eagle Pass, in the interior of Mexico.
Soon after the train left Peytas the con-
ductor was missed. The porter went
through the cars in search of Bethel, and
on the rear platform of the last car he
found Bethel lying dead with bullet
hole through his brain. The supposition
is that the conductor had elected a tramp
stealing a ride, and the tramp, after be-
ing pitched off shot him. Bethel leaves
a wife and two children at Eagle Pass.
