Officers.

Wounded.
TWO BANDITS STOP BULLETS.
The Desperadoes in Retreat Toward

ALBUQUERQUE, N. Mex, Oct 81
A dispatch received here from Fort STAN
ton late this afternoon says that members
of hunting party which passed the post
a few hours before stated that they learned
from a ranchman with whom they camped
last night, about thirty miles northeast of
the fort, that one OF the posses in pursuit
of the outlaws who held up the San Anto-
Mo- White Oaks stages few days ago had
come up TO them and that pitched battle
had ensued. Forty or fifty shots were ex-
changed. One of the officers was Killed
outright and another is thought to be
mortally wounded.
There were four men in the party of
bandits. One was shot through the body
and is believed to be mortally wounded.
He dropped his gun and rode off to the
rear, stopping in his saddle as though un-
able to sit upright. Another was shot
through the right arm or hand and was
unable to use his gun.
The gang retreated, going southwark.
Owing to the fact that they could not
leave their wounded and dead to the
coyotes the officers were unable to follow
the robbers, but were making their way
DaCK 10 ne SclIleIueHtS.
The portion of the country in which
these gangs are operating is the widest
part OF the Southwest, taking in all the
dreaded Malpai country east of the JAR
nado del Muerta, and covering a section
100 miles east and west by 100 miles north
and south, settled only by few cattle
men, whose ranches are usually forty or
fifty miles apart. This is what renders
pursuit of the bandits so very difficult.
The officers have no way of obtaining pro-
visions or animals except such as they
take with them, while the bandits forage
on the country, killing cattle when they
need meat and taking provisions and
horses from every ranchhouse they come
to. United States Marshal Hall, Sheriff
Bursum of Socorro County, and Postoffice
Inspector Fredricks are all on the trail
with different posses, but it cannot be de-
termined from the repor. received to-day
which of the posses had the engagement
with the bandits, or who the officers were
who are reported killed or wounded.
Pat Garrett, the famous Lincoln County
Sheriff who ran down and captured Billy
the Kid not far from where these outlaws
are operating, has organized posse anu
left Los Cruces two days ago to take the
trail. He goes well armed and we'll pro-
visioned and intends to stay with them.
It is believed that the robbers are now
making for Old Mexico and Garrett is
heading for the border to cut them off.

Fire Island to BE Sold.

NEW YORK, N. Y. Oct. 27.-The prop
erty known as Fire Island, in the bay,
will be sold at public auction at II Broad
way to-day. Fire Island was bought by
the State of New York from David s.
Samnis in May. 1888. when the cholera
scare obtained foothold in this country,
for quarantine station. It cost a quarter
of millon dollars.
Since the cholera scare the State has
had 10 use for the island. and efforts to
rent it out for hotel purposes have not
been particularly profitable. The COM
missioners do not expect to get back any
thing like the figure paid for the property
but will let it go if anything over $l0O, 900
isyoffered.
