Ell PASO, Tex, Jan. 9.-Seth Bur-
roughs, an American cowboy, shot five
| Mexicans in a gun fight in Paso del
Norte at o'clock this morning and was
himself mortally wounded, dying in the
police station few hours later. The
first man he killed was Mexican gamb-
Ter, who brought on the affray. Then he
killed the first policeman to oppose him,
shot the horse from under the sergeant
of police and shot that officer through
the arm, through the shoulder and
through the head. He also put several
shots into velarde. Mexican who was
assisting the sergeant, and is supposed
to have killed another policeman, who
Is missing.
Burrows was a cowboy from Sierra
Blanca in this county. Last night he
drifted from this city across to Paso del
Norte to view the sights. He fell in
with Ignacio Chavez, a Mexican gamb-
Ter, and together they went to Halls
dance hall, where Burrows met Lily
Rhine, a woman from Eagle Pass, Tex,
and with her left the saloon soon after.
Chavez, who was paying attention to
the woman, became furious with rage
and followed the couple to the house.
Burroughs warned him to leave, but
the Mexican drew revolver, threat
ening to kill the Texan. AS Chavez
raised the weapon Burroughs quickly
drew his revolver and shot the Mexican
through the heart.
The sound of the shot brought the
police to the scene and four of them
sought to capture Burroughs. The
Texan promptly drew his gun and a
running fight began. Policeman Es-
qivel, who was nearest Burroughs
when the firing began, fell dead with a
bullet in his brain. Then he fired four
times on the sergeant, putting one bull
let through the latter's head, one
through his shoulder and another
through his arm and killed the DO
liceman's horse.
The Texan then turned his attention
to Juan Velarde, a citizen who was as
sisting the police. Velarde fell serious
ly wounded. Another policeman Is MISS
ing and was probably killed in the fight
Burroughs had only eleven cartridges in
his gun and belt and made ten of them
count, while one bullet went wild. As
he fired the last shot he clubbed his re-
volver to resist the onslaught of the
police. Seeing that the Texan was out
of ammunition the police closed in on
him and shot him down, one bullet go
ing through his leg and another through
the body.

IF BRYAN RUNS AGAIN

Gage Wants Time to Prepare an
Answer-English Comment on
Growth Of Organism

CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-Hon. w. J. Bryan
in concluding speech before the Bryar
league at the fremont house during 6
banquet held at the Auditorium meeting
early this morning, made some remarks
| which are interpreted as showing his
intentions If he is nominated for the
presidency in 1900. In speaking Of the
next presidential election, Mr.. Bryan
said
1T may be that we will be strong
enough to win without any outside help
but, nevertheless, prefer to win with
fhe Populists on the one side and the
free silver Republicans on the other, and
we must not forget when the victory Is
won that in the campaign of last year II
took more courage on the part of the
free silver Republicans to desert their
old party, and more self-sacrifice on the
part of the Populists to go outside OF
their organization for a presidential
candidate because he agreed with them
on the paramount issue, than it did for
the Democrats to support the ticket that
was nominated by their own national
convention"

tary Gage. when asked today If he cared

quoted as saying, has had his inning.
