Dollars Have Eeen Stolen

Dollars Have Eeen Stolen.
The arrest OF the two Mexi cans SO
mysteriously placed in Jail incom mum
1cado yesterday was but pre- I'M mary
to further discoveries which may lead
to the conviction of a gang of car
thieves which has been opera ting for
the past year, at great loss to the
railroads in Ell Paso.
The two men, Alvino Albertez and
Perez, arrested by Special Officer Ray
nor, were apprehended only after a
long bit of detective work, in which
many officers including the special of
ficer himself, aud Capt J.P. Long,
+ cad OF the S. p. secret service. took
part.
There is a point about eight miles
above the city where all the S. P trains
stop or slow down, and it is along bout
this place that cars have been entered,
and goods aggregating in value hun
dreds OF dollars worth of silks and
wines a1d whiskies and cigars have
been thrown out.
As the trains would stop or slow
down, it is presumed, the thieves broke
the seals, slipped 10 and did their
work.
Through an old one eyed Mexi can
woman who has acted as a fence, the
officers obtained their first ira IL, and.
following this up, they spent more
than forty dollars in buying from her
stuff that had been stolen. AS O re-
suit. they became her contida d is, and
she disclosed the source of her sup
plies.
The arrest of the two men followed
yesterday. OF these, Perez is one of
the noted car thieves in the country.
and was shot in the leg a year ago by
the Santa Fe watchman here while
trying to ROB some cars.
Today. deputy Bryant aud Inspectors
Bloom and Joe Dwyer, acting on in
formation received, went seven miles
up the river, and arrested an
old Mexican. sixty years of
age, named Benito Analle.
In his house was found, among other
things, big assortment of children's
clothes, of the came size, which had
evidently been taken from a case of
goods In transit. Among the other
valued possessions was a Mexican horse,
which the officers say, was stolen and
smuggled across the border
The house of Analla seems to have
been store house for the thieves.

Special Dispatch to the HERALD.
LAS CRUCES, n. M, March 3D.
Print Rhodes of San Augustine was
brought in last evening, accused OF
being the second accessory in the bank
robbery case. He Immediately gave
bail in one thousand dollars for his
appearance today. Cravens was ad-
mitted to bail this morning in the same
amount.
All the prisoners will be arraigned
this afternoon before Justice of the
Peace Herrera. Nothing of import
ance will occur, probably simply the
reading of the charges, and probable
increase In the amount of the bond.
Print Rhodes is a brother-in-law of
w. W. Cox, the prominent cattlemsn
of San Augustine. He made no resist
ance.
Mr.. Freeman has positively identi-
fed Wilson but is not go sure of the
other.
The alleged Las Cruces bank robbers
came to Ell Paso soon after the time OF
the robbers, and here they took the 6.
h. train which carried them Ito San
Antonio.
They rode through, bareback, turn
ed the horses they rode loose near Fort
and boarded a train which took them
.ar away. They reached here the day
after the crime was committed.
: The notes and papers of the bank
which were of no use were hidden un-
der rock in the Organ mountains,
and will probably be recovered today.
WILSON'S CONFESSION.
These points were brought out yes
tsrday by the confession of Wilson,
who turned states evidence, disclosed |
the plot to rob the bank, and all the |
movements Of himself and his com pa
dres, and, incidentally, implicated two |
more men who are now confined in the |
Las Cruces jail.
These men are William Cravens, of
whose arrest the HERALD told yester- |
day, and Print Rhodes. brother-in-law |
OF ". w. Cox, the cattleman well |
known in Dona Ana county. as told in
the above special dispatch.
Both men are cowboys, and it is al
-Ieged that they furnished the robbers
horses and received S100 apiece as
their share of the spOils.
One OF thu man who has rendered
material service in the apprehension
of the suspected robbers. is Jim Isaacs,
well known in Las Cruces and Ell Psso,
who is In the city today.
Mr.. Isaacs tells in detail the story
OF the crime, as brought out by Will
sons confession. The fact that Will
son has confessed explains why the
officers we're so anxious while in FL
Psso not to have the men interviewed.
They were even then working On Will =
son trying to get him TO turn states l
evidence.
PLANNED IN ADVANCE.
The robbery was .planned at first to
akeplace on the Sth of February, and 8
the two cowboys, Craveus and Rhodes
according to Isaac's account of the con- o
fession, were to furnish the horses for
the robbery, then to ride about and
sover up the trail.
For some reason the bank Was Eot

until the Twelfth. On that date Will %

the laying of the corner stone in a
shaft which will perpetuate in bronze

confederate forces. The monument
was the personal gift of Gen. Daniel

London, May 2S.-President Kruger,
according TO a special dispatch from
Newcastle, has issued proclamation
asking the Transvaal burghers to no.
tify him whether they desire to con-
tinue the fight or to sue for peace.
President Kruger's proclamation is
understood to say that they can quit
now with the prospect of retaining
their farms. or continue TO the bitter
end. Rumors are current in Lord
Roberts army that the Beers intend
to surrender.
The indications are that a pitched
battle is imminent at Laing's Mex,
where Gen. Buner faces the Beers, re-
enforced and seemingly determined,
with an estimated strength of from
5000 TO 10000 men. The reinforce
ments include a large party from
Ladybrand and fresh commanders
from Pretoria. Gen. Buffers officers
are doubtful of the ability of the
Beers to display the same tenacity as
in the nghting at Ladysmith. The
British are confident that when the
moment arrives they will be able 10
force the passes.
