It's difficult for people living in the East
ern states to comprehend how the condition
Of affairs on the Rio Grande frontier could
exist anywhere within the confines OF the
United States. The majority OF those who
live along the Rio Grandr river. even on
the Texas side, are very different from any
other population in this country. II is an
overlapping Of Mexico into the United
States, and the people, though they have
been American citizens for more than forty
years. are almost as much an alien race as
the Chinese, and have shown no disposition
to amalgaIuate with the other Americans.
They take no interest in American politics
In Mexican affairs, however. they are deep
~ in earnest, and specially is this so in
times of revolution and civil discord south
Of the Rio Grande river. Few of them
speak English, and the white people of
Texas. New Mexico, and Arizona along the
border contemptuCusly call them "Greas-
ers, and hold them in no higher esteem
than they do negroes and Indians In 1850
there were IS, 900 of such people in Texas.
and, with the exception of those about
San Antonio these "GieaSers" are herds
men and small farmers along the Rio
Grande. They hold life very cheap, and
do not count it a gTievous crime to murder
either in private quarrel or public brawl
Neither is the extent OF the Mexican
frontier ordinarily comprehended. From
Brownsville, Texas, to Fl Paso, with the
windngs of the river. it is fully 1900 miles.
and thence along the boundaries Of New
Mexico, Arizona, and California to San
Diego is several hundred miles more. This
frontier is as long as the Atlantic seaboard.
from Portland, Me, to the southernmost
point Of the peninsula of Florida. Some
800 miles of country, where the Rio Grande
river runs through deep cahons, is prac-
tically uneXplored. This section comprises
the counties Preside, Brewster, Foley, and
part of Buchel. And all along the border
is heavy underground called chaparral.
This word originally was applied, believe,
to cactus thickets but recently in that
country any kind Of an underground in
which men can hide or find shelter is spoken
of as chaparral. With this very long from
tier to guard, with the people of the same
race as and friendly to the bandits, and
with the aid of the sheltering chaparral, it
has been possible for Cara to elude the
pursuit of the two or three troops of
United States cavalry that have been hunt
ing him and his band of outlaws.-Har-
per's Weekly.

victim was his schoolgirl wife Helen
Potts. the daughter OF a prominent rail

prepossessing girl, fayorite with all her
friends. Harris first met her in l~Sq.

Harris objected. saying that it would ruin
his prospects. When Mrs Potts insisted
he finally consented that the marriage
should take place on February -, 1891.
Meantime the girl had been sent to young

4 Plot to Get $4,000.
An E,ght-Yesr-oid hoy kidnapped.


A kidnapping case which furnishes a
strong reminder Of the Charlie Ross case Of
1874 occurred at Long Ridge. Conn. near
the New York line. on Monday. when the
eight-year-old son of Charles Z. Water
bury. a well-to-do farmer. was stolen while
on his way to school. The first intimation
received by his family was note TO his IA
ther. stating that a ransom Of $1,000 must
be pal at a certain place at midnight that
night. or he would never see the child
again. The note was carried to Mr.. Wa
terbury 10y his nephew. who claimed To- have
been out hunting when lac saw three men
armed with shot guns standing beside
phaeton. one Of them had the child on
his back and threw note To Waterbury.
telling him to deliver it, while the others
threatened him away with their guns.
The affair happened in a thickly settled
farming community. and a search was at
once instituted without any trace of the
kidnappers being found 1t is said that
Mr.. Waterbury Went at midnight to the
place indicated. prepared to pay the ran
som, but the kiinapper> did not show up.
having probably taken fright. At3o'clock
Wednesday morning his son was brought
home by a clam digger named Close. who
lives at Stanwich. Conn. not far from the
NatcrburyS. Close was awakened a,
O'Clock in the morning 10y loud knocking
on his door. When he opened the door he
saw little boy. who said: II am Ward
Waterbury and want to 90 home. Mr.
Close hitched up and drove with the boy to
Mr.. Waterbury's house.
The boy said that on Monday two plain
~ dressed men had stopped him near the
schoolhouse AMI asked him to show them
to certain place in the vicinity. which he
did. Then he wanted 70 90 home but the
men refused To let him. He finally fell
asleep, and when he awoke he was in a
small and poorly furnished house He
was soon afterwarl taken through patch
of woods and fields. Finally one Of the
men dropped him in Mr. Closes yard and
said he would wait while he knocked at
the door, but while the boy was knocking
the man ran away.
L0ter.-Good detective work with what
information the kidnapped boy could give,
has resulted in revealing the identity Of
the three conspirators who planned and
carried out the scheme, and the arrest of
two Of them. Charles +. Waterbury. the
nephew. aged "a. was the leader and the
other two were both young men.

Garua in Mevico with 5000 Wen.

The chase after the elusive bandit-revo-
lutionist. Cara, continues to be prescott
ed msuccesSfully. The efforts of the
United States troops to capture him have
been untiring, but the nature Of the barren
country in which the revolutionists have
taken refuge is such that their apprchen-
sion was well nigh impossible If the fol-
lowers of Cara had kept in a body they
would speedily have been captured or dis
persed. But their practice Of scattering
whenever the troops approached them has
enabled them to defy the United States
successfully for long time. The latest
report is that Cara has crossed over into
Mexico and is at the head Of 1000 men.
