The Bandits Escaped.

Captain Hughes, of troop D, state
rangers, came up from Ysleta. He says
after the last train hold up down the
road the rangers were unable to reach
the scene before dark of the following
day, and they had to wait until the
next morning before setting out. This
gave the robbers thirty hours to start,
and withstauding the rangers had
good horses the Interval was too great.
However, but for the penuriousness of
the legislature in not suitably provid-
ing for the ranger service, Captain
Hughes would have had men stationed
along the line, at Marathon, for in
stance, and then the robbers would
have been caught up with. Captain
Hughes thinks the adventurous gen.

Judge Buckler did lot exclude the
grant in the trial yesterday because it
had been proven forgery, the ques-

More than that the federal circuit
court did not de :ide that the grant was
a forgery. On the contrary Judge
Maxey decided it was executed in all
respects as claimed and duly recorded
in 1851, but that the officer executing g
was not authorized by the Mexican la "
