sion OF both. All the principal buildings were
sacked Of all the portable articles Of
value which they contained. and clti.
gems were tortured to force them to
give up money and valuables which had been
hidden in anticipation OF the coming Of the
marauders. Several houses belonging to men
who refused to surrender their goods were
burned. There were two camps Of bandits
outside OF tho town. and women and young
girls were kidnapped nightly to DO outraged
by the mon there.
The people fed BY scores by night across the
border into Colombia, although their depar-
ture was hindered whom they were discovered
Two men and five women were shot while try
