City Of Mexico, Sept 90 - Captain
Gotta, of the Twelfth infantry, who was
some time since condemned to death
for characterization for the killing OF
major of his regiment in Sonora dur
ing the Yaqui rebellion, was shot here
Saturday. Detachments from all the
garrisons were present, about 1900
men being drawn up on three sides Of
the square. The condemned mans
nerve was indomitable, and courage
superb. AS he advanced down the
length Of the square, a distance of at
least 100 yards he was quietly putting
at a cigarette, and when the squad
halted he walked with elaboration to
the position assigned him, When the
officer strode toward him. bandage in
hand, with the intention of blindfold-
ing him Captain Gotta at once motioned
him away, declaring that he was not
afraid Not even as the officer in
sharge of the firing party motioned the
orders to the men was there the least
trace of fear on the face of the con-
demned man. At the first discharge
he fell dead.

early in the morning in the general
store Of G. f. Waldron, at Imlaystown,
about 70 miles from here, and before It

is no fire department In the town, and
a bucket brigade was formed to fight
the flames, but they spread quickly and
destroyed Waldron's store and house,

and then swept across the street and
destroyed a small store and house and
the general store of b. p. Maulsbury
and damaged the hotel property Of
