whose relatives are well known in Tex
as politics, had lost considerable cattle
and was sure that Aguirre and his
band were responsible. His stock had
been traced across the river into the
Hueco mountains. There all trail was
lost.
At last, in the house of man named
Medina, a follower of Aguirre, was
found the hide of cow on which the
brand was peculiar, the hot iron nav
ing slipped as it was applied to the
skin. From the marking 1t was easy
to identify the animal, and the owner
swore that it had been stolen from bis
ranch. Medina claimed that the hide
had been left in his house by some I'M
known man. This fimsy explanation
caused Senior Escajeda to make the re-
mark which cost him his life. He SAID
that IL any one had left the hide at Me-
dina's it must have been Aguirre.
This remark soon reached the ears of
| Aguirre. He made no public threats,
but 1t was evident that he determined
| on revenge, for in a day or two he and
several Of his band met in the village
Of San Elizario, in Texas, not far from
the home of Medina. 1t was moon
light night about the middle Of last
April
Early in the evening five men led by
Aguirre were seen to leave the village.
They took a trail which led through a
grove Of cottonwoods and tornillo to a
ford across the river.
Two hours later six men dismounted
near the home OF Senior Escajeda in the
Mexican village. The animals were tied
In the brush. and the six men went to
the ranchers home. There they hid
themselves in the shadows while one
of their number, an Italian, reused Sc
nor Escajeda. AS the latter opened the
door the six men rushed past him into
the house. The rancher sprang for his
rife. but before he could reach It his
body was riddled with bullets. He died
before his wife could reach him, and by
the time she thought Of looking for hi
murderers they had fed.

made for Aguirre. For time no trace
could be found. Then finally he wal

Doomed to

Many an American has had his earth
" career ended by bullet in Mexico,
but Bias Aguirre is the first to be sell
fenced to death by the law. So far the
date Of execution has not been set
That is the last formality with Next
can court, and execution quickly fol-
lows sentence. But for the fact that
Aguirre Is beyond all doubt a citizen OF
the United States he would have re-
ceived much shorter shrift. Now all is
settled. His lawyers have appealed to
President Diaz in vain.
Aguirre has long been known as
bandit, and his death will put an end
to one of the most troublesome bands
of outlaws with which the border po-
lice have had to deal, some OF them
Americans like Aguirre, some native
born Mexicans. They were closely
united by ties of blood and crime and
for years escaped the penalty OF the
crimes which they had committed.
So bold did they become from long i'm
munity from punishment that they
even resented any reflection on their
character. 1t was their bloody revenge
for such an attack that has now
brought Aguirre to his death and 9th
ers Of the band to prison.
The victim of their last crime was
Juan Jose Escajeda, a ranchman living
In the village Of San Ygnacio, 80 miles
from this city, close to the United

Saloon Held I'm.

Baker City, Ore, Sept. 2.-There was a
daring holdup at Bourne, in this county
during the afternoon two we'll dressed
young men entered the saloon and gam.
bling house of City Councilman Anderson
and asked for drink, which was served to
them.
About 9:3O in the evening they returned,
wearing masks and armed with six shoot
ers, and commanded every one present to
throw up their hands. They secured $500
from the 81 game and departed in haste.
Mr.. Anderson is able to give a fairly
good description of the men, and the sher-
III is now on their trail. 1t is thought ia
these men are part Of the same gang that
held up the Log Cabin gambling house in
this city 10 days ago.

Naval Progress.

Captain Charles d. Sigsbee, chief of the
office OF naval intelligence, has made pub
lie that bureaus annual publication, en-
titled Notes on Naval Progress which
sets forth in comprehensive way the ad
vance that has been made in naval work
among the foreign navies.
A noteworthy statement is that the new
German battle fleet will be practically
complete when the vessels laid down in
1905 are completed, instead of in 1906, as
formerly proposed. Vessels laid down
after 1905 will Ike either for foreign serv-
ice or nonactiye fleet.
The subject Of wireless telegraphy as
bearing OH naval progress is treated at
length, and it is stated that great progress
has been made with this new means of
communication abroad during the past
year, particularly in increasing the dis
tances over which messages can be sent
and in providing means to guard against
confusion where messages cross one an.
other. 1t is shown that the British,
French, German, Japanese, Russian, ltal-
ian, Spanish and Swedish navies have
adopted wireless telegraphy to u greater
or less extent.
To give an idea Of the fighting strength
OF the seven principal navies of the worLl
table is submitted showing the following
tonnage Of ships built, building and to We
built:
England. l,766.S55; France, 7Sl, OB5;
Russia, 552,546; United States, SOY ,494;
Germany, 45S,4S2. Italy, 322,7O7; Japan,
Dol. 40S.
Naval appropriations for the present
fiscal year are stated as follows:
England, $l40,755,69O. an increase of
over $l0,00O,0OO as compared with last
year; France, $63,244,65s Russia, $780,
OOo6, 297, an increase of over $5,0OO,OOO;

Safe Blown Omen.

Tacoma, Sept. 2.-When the Northern

the door OF the depot he discovered the
safe had been blown open and the entire
contents stolen. He refused to state how
much money was in the safe, but it is
known that there was several hundred dol.
lars there.
The police have no clue to the robbers,
everything indicates that experts did the
JOB. Some men sleeping in caboose on
the track in front of the depot were not
awakened by the noise of the explosion,
though its force broke the windows of the
building. Admittsnce to the depot was
gained by breaking the fastenings to the
windows
