KILLED BY THE MORMONS.
The Desperate Outlaw Hand of the
Southern border Wiped Out.

III Paso, Tex, March 22-News has
reached here from Casas Grande, Mexico,
of the terrible fate which had befalen
the members of Black Jacks gang, who
escaped from this country several months
ago, soon after the leader was reported
slain, and sought refuge from pursuit by
American officers in the businesses Of the
Sierra Madre mountains OF Mexico.
The Black Jack gang of despcradoes and
cut Threats for several years terrorized
the entire border between here and the
Gulf of California, and it remained for
the aven2ing angels of the Mormon colo
Mexico, to hunt down and annihilate the
gang.
On February %, Mrs. S. f. Mcdonald. a
Mormon woman, wife of prominent resi-
dent of one of the settlements. was muir
dcred by two unknown men. She was a
store keeper at Round Valley, 90 miles
east of Casas Grande in an isolated 10
cality. The ruffians split her head open
with Ratchet, looted the store and es-
capped.
The brutal crime aroused the entire
Mormon community and the avenging an
gels of the Mormon church were author
lied TO hunt down the murderers. They
secured the mountains in all directions
On Sunday, March e, the rendezvous Of
the outlaws was located in a lonely, uneX
lplorcd region 100 miles from Casa'
Grande. During Sunday night the aveng
crs closed in upon the outlaws, nine il
number.
At daybreak a voice from the rock
commanded the bandits to surrender
warning them that resistance meant
death. They had Just begun TO stir whe'
the summons came. They made dasl
for their weapons, but We're shot down be

FOSTER SAYS SPAIN MUST SAY.
Either a Change in Cuba or War
With America.

Toledo, O., March -ExSecretary Of
the Treasury Foster says;
"The decision for peace or war really
lies with Spain. She must accede to in
tervention in Cuba or she must declare
war. Senator Proctor's vivid description
of the condition of the island and the hor-
rors suffered by the hapless Cuban recon
centrados show condition which JUST
fies the United States in intervening
promptly. Now, what shape should our
intervention take? l am strongly in IA
vor of doing it by the recognition of the
republic of Cuba as a free and independ-
ent nation. The United States should not
declare war against a weaker nation. Put
the burden of the decision upon her by
the simple course of recognizing Cuba as
Independent"
