Bellacoscia has several times been SEN

Amastia Rubio de PascaderO died on
her ranch in the state of Sonora, Mex
leo. She had attained ripe old age
! and was very rich. When young she
devoted her time to robbery, and if half
the reports regarding her career are
true. it is no wonder that she left large
fortune at her death.
Among her notable exploits was a
| stage robbery in the state Of ZacatecaS.
! One night she dressed herself iii mems
| clothing. and, mounting a horse. rode
| from San Antonio to the ZacatecaS and
AguaS Callentes stage road, where she
waited in grove for the south-bound
stage 10 pass. AS the positions came
I'D she commanded them with revolver
| in hand to halt, put out their torches
! and fall to the rear of the coach, which
was few yards behind them. She then
| advanced upon the driver and keeper,
who were made to dismOunt, expecting
every moment TO be shot from ambush,
| as she kent saving: Don't shoot un-
less they resist.

were inside the stage. were LED to be-

/ that an armed party was in the brush,
and when she came UP and demanded
their money, watches and jewelry, they
lost no time i'll Obeying her. She then
babe the passengers good night, and.
after admonlShing them not to move for
half an hour. disappeared in the grove.
! During her career she killed several
men: and for years was terror to the
people of Sinaloa, JaliSco and Sonora.
Government troops and state troops
chased her, but could never entrap her.
1t was said that the reason she gave for
adopting such a mode of life was the
murder by soldiers of her Intended hus-
band when she was in her teens. She
then made VOW that she would Kill or
ruin five men for every year that she
lived. She was one o. the most noted
bandits Mexico ever produced. Before
her death she related her strange his
tory and bequeathed her fortune to
charities. At her request she was bur-
led beside her dead lover in her native
town. San Antonio.
