Last week we wrote that Messrs.
Gale and Turner. alias Collier Bros,
the assistant cssh'sr and bookkeeper
of the Nashville Savings Bank. were
arrested In Ssltillo by telegram
through Eugene Eglesias, the city
marshal of Laredo, Texas. AS soon as
they were srres ted he notified the chief
of police of Nashville, Capt J n. Clock,
Of their arrest and to come on with
the extraditiOn papers. This he did,
and when he arrived they went to
Saltilio and had them turned over to
them by the governor, Cara Galan,
and Saturday afternoon they arrived
here and rock rooms at the Hotel
Hidalgo. They had to stay over here
Sunday and yesterday so as to get the
money that had exchanged and dis
posed of in this city. This they re-
covered yesterday and last night
they took the north bound train over
the Mexican National railway for
Laredo.
Capt. Eugene Eglesias informed us
that it was through him that they
were traced to this city, and that 1t
was through him that they were ar
rested in SaltillO. He also in formed
US tina the governors and officers Of
Nuevo Leon, Monterey, Coahulla, and
Saltillo assisted him In tracing them
up, arresting them, and as soon as the
requisition papers arrived, Governor
Galan turned them over to him, all
reports to the contrary notwithstand-
ing.
While here Saturday, Sunday and
MAnIox Inat cd hnf
they went round town with Of
ficers, visited the Zsragozs plazs
Sunday night to see the sights
and listen to the music and
at night they had rooms assigned to
them at the hotel. The officers sue
ceeded In securing about 5000 in
Mexican money of the amount that
they stole from the bank. AS we
stated in our last letter Monterey is
not good hiding place for criminals
to come to. That class of people are
sure to be spotted as soon as they
land here.

he showed us some rich samples of
ore that he had received from his

almost twenty miles west of this city.
The ores from this mine are silver and
