CoRrUs CHRISTI Tex. Feb. s.
News has been received here OF the
killing OF Scout Rufus B. Glover by
Garza's revolutionists near Soledad
Wells. Glover was in company with
Two other scouts. just before reach
ing the wells the party stopped to
talk with d boy on horseback. when
the revolutionists opened fire from be-
hind a small hill. At the first volley
Grover fell from his horse a dead
man and at the same time a compan-
ions horse was shot dead, when the
two scouts, riding one horse. escaped.
They returned the fire but were COM
pletely outnumbered. On account OF
the thick brush, in which the revolu-
tionists have taken refuge, 1t is hard
to trail them and it is thought they
are familiar with every movement Of
the troops. Glover's body was recov-
cred and brought TO Benavides and
thence to San Diego.

placed it.
