SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Aug @2.-Some
years ago in the lower Rio Grande
country Rejino Ramon was known as
the most desperate man, accomplished
bandit and thorough scoundrel in
the two republics. He had lost his
right arm but used pistol with re-
markable dexterity. After commit
ting thousand crimes and hundred
murders he died peaceably, attended
by a wife, who had been his devoted
companion through forty years of war
against law. He left son named
Eustorijo. This man is now % Years
old and possesses all the qualities of
his father. Intensified by a better
education and larger brain, he has
become the terror of the frontier states
of Mexico. The officials of every vii
lage are arrayed against him. He
comes and goes with the celebrity of
lightning; is here one day and there
tomorrow and is heard of almost SIM
ultaneously at places a hundred miles
apart, He is surrounded by band of
cdJ-throats as desperate as him
self. They are fifty in number
and regard smuggling as very tame
occupation, to be resorted to only
when there is no more exciting matter
afOot. Their incursions into Texas
are very frequent. They have had
three atfrays with officers on this side
of the Rio Grande. Some of them
have been killed and others wounded.
News has been received at Rio
Grande City that the band which
makes it's home camp in the noun
tains of Tamaulipas is intending an
Otherfray. Eustoriio, on these raids,
rides paint horse of remarkable
size and swiftness. The animal is
bay, gray, black, cream, sorrel, blue
and white in spots. The ignorant
have semi-deitled the rider,
and speak of him as Gel Caballero De
CavaiiO DE Siertes Colores," or the
cavalier with the horse of seven
cOlOrs
On Thursday night Eustorijo went
10 IanuanSO aG CdnlafSO, became III
vOlved in his usual aftrays and escaped
with his customary luck. He danced
a while, became angered at man,
felled him with siX-shooter, shot at
him while he lay on the floor, missed |
and fled. He was followed by the
soldiers of the Mexican army and po-
liceman of Camargo. He heard their
steps and secreted
in the chaperal, When |
they came up he opened
fire. One soldier was instantly killed
another was shot twice through the
bowels and the policeman was struck
through the groin. Both of those will
die. The remaining soldier grappled
with the bandit and endeavored to
stab him with q bayonet. Eustorijo
drew bowie, stabbed his adversary
across the stomach and continued his
flight, leaving his four opponents ly-
ing in the middle of the sandy road. !
He has gone to camp in the Mexican
and the Texas side of the
Rio Grande is preparing for his next
raid,

NO BEER FOR 10.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Secretary
Noble has instructed the commits
sioner of Indian affairs to direct
Agent Bennett of the Union Indian
agency in Indian Territory to seize
all packages of beer that may be
shipped into the Indian Territory and
turn them over to the United States
marshal to be libeled as provided in
section 2140 of the Revised Statutes.
This action was taken upon Informal
ton that a carload of beer was about
to be shipped to McAister, Choctaw
Nation, under a recent decision by
Judge Bryant for the Eastern district
of Texas, that malt liquors may be
lawfully introduced and sold in the
Indian country.

ing attention to matters preliminary
to the opening to settlement of lands
in Eastern Oklahoma recently coded
to the government by the Sac and
IVA, IoWd anu IoItdWaJuOlnle In
dians, and that within a short time
they will be brought to the attention
Of the president for action. This will
open to settlement about 100000 acres.
At the Cheyenne and Arapahoe re-
servation, west Of Oklahoma, seven
alloting agents are now at work, and
it is hoped allotments will all be made
by the coming autumn, when this re-
servation of about 5000, 900 acres will
also be opened to settlement.
