FIGHT WITH BANDITS.
An American Railroad Man Does Up a
Gang of Mexican Toughs.

PIEDRAs NEaRAs, Mex, May 3d.
A telegram was received today of the
general office of the Mexican Inter-
national Railroad here giving an ac-
count of desperate encounter be-
tween Bob Baker, an American stat.
ion agent at Gabriel, and Torres Mer-
rujio, prominent ranchman and ban
dit with his gang. Baker was out on
horseback looking around for possible
game and had not gone more than a
quarter of mile from the station when
Don Tomas and his gang joined him
Rain began to fall and Baker bade the
ranchman good day and started for
the station.
He had not gone more than 300
yards when the sharp crack CT rifle
made him look around. A little dust
stirred to his left showed where the
bullet struck. Another followed,
when Baker halted, drew his rifle
from it's boot and dismounted. Still
another shot again stirred up the earth
to his left. A little sport, thought
Baker, the shots being quite wild.
The ranchman said, "Put your gun
back in your saddle and remount."
This order was obeyed. The ranch
man then ordered Baker to hand his
rifle to one of his men, who msan.
while covered him with his winches-
ter. This order was naturally object
ed to. The order was repeated. "If
you don't do that I'll kill you" the
ranchman yelled. The rifle was used
as piece offering, as was also
Bakers pistol. "I'm bandit" cried
Don Torras, and addressing his gang
he said, "I'm going to kill this Gringo
chingado."
Baker sprang to the side of the
ranchman's horse, seized the barrel OF
the winchester and forced 1t aside
jnst In time to escape a bullet, which
passed into the ground at his feet.
Holding the rifle with his left hand,
with his right Baker snatched q
sabre from its place on the saddle bow
and gave him thrust in the side.
The sword was then used with batter
results on Don Thomas head, though
that was protected by heavy SOM
brero. Several shots were fired by
the gang, the last one passing through

STRIKE OF TELEGRAPHERs.
Chicago and Northwestern Operators Quit
and Serious Wreck Ensues,

Chicago and Northwestern Operators Quit
and Serious Wreck Ensues.
CHICAGO, May 23.-The threatened
strike of telegraphers of the Chicago
and Northwestern road occurred this
morning at A o'clock. Ats O'Clock a
disatrous wreck occurred involving
many thousands of dollars worth of
property and causing q blockade of
the entire Milwaukee division of the
road. Just at o'clock the operators
north of Evanston failed to answer
calls from the train dlspatchersoffi ce.
Scarcely had officials ordered the
utmost caution In moving trains when
the first accident occurred. A heavy
freight train reached North Evanston,
and though the switch signals were
properly set, struck an open switch.
The cars heaped upon each other,
completely blocking all tracks. The
engineer and fireman saved them
selves by jumping. The number of
men who storrrSsca! work Ia estimated
! all .iie way from 25 by the company's
officials to 300 as claimed by the en-
ployes. Late Chief Ramsey said the
order to quit work was bogus and the
matter had all been settled. 1t was
owing to the fact that the order to
quit was suspe Led by many as not
genuine that so few quit. Chief
Ramsay and the railway officials ex-
plained their position in regard to dis.
charge men. "The grievance com.
mittee is thoroughly satisfied" he
continued and the members have left
for their homes.
