MADRID, Jan. l9.-The band OF men
who recently entered the village Of Sem
ten. In the Cadiz district. and abducted
n rich farmer whom they took to the
mountains with the intention of holding
him a prisoner until a heavy ransom
was paid, were well armed and we'll
mounted. They were holly pursued to
tho hills by a detachment OF mounted
gendarmes. who. It is now reported, have
succeeded in rescuing the farmer.
This outrage referred to In this de-
spatch Is only one of a series of similar
crimes. Another farmer. whose father
and wife were kidnapped and taken to
the hills until a ransom could be OBJ
tained. was so overcome by grief that he
committed suicide.
The authorities Of Cadiz declare them
selves unable to cope with agrarian out

A band of masked men invaded the inn
in the village OF II Bosque and pillaged

which 1t contained. They did not do any
injury to the occupants of the Inn. and
did not enter any OF the other houses of
the village.

OF a preclpice near Castril. A Reming-
