BANDIT WORSE THAN TRACY.
Mexican Who Is the Terror of Lower
California.

The most alarming brigandage OF many
years is terrorizing the inhabitants Of
the northern portion of the California
peninsula Within the last six months
murder and blood dshed have become Of
almost daily occurrence. band of TWEEN
ty Mexicans. under the leadership 9f Ma
guello Cabrcros. having completely smut
off all stage travel on the State stage
road between Ensenada and Tiajuana
and thence into the United States via
San Diego. The spirit of the Yaqui Ap-
risings in Sonora, Mexico. has spread to
this section OF the republic. and the
atrocities which are perpetrated Inier
the direction of Maguello exceed in
heartless cruelty any crimes of which
the YaQuis have been accused
Maguello Cabreros is the most daring
outlaw and iailbroaker in Lower Califor-
MIA His career as Il brigand dates back
six months ago. when he ruthlessly mur-
dered Judge Ramon Appleglas, of the
First judicial district. al Real de Cas-
tello. year ago Judge Appleglas
sentenced Maguello to a term OF six
years in prison for horse stealing. Ma
guello warned the judge that he would
break Jail and kill him. Scarcely three
months had passed, when Maguello broke
loose from his prison bars ard disap
peared. He was not heard OF for three
months, but then his entrance into no
toriety was bloOdthirsty in the extreme.
With the vindictive hatred Of his race
MaEuelio laid in wait for the Judge, who
had sentenced him. He captured his
victim in Ryerson canyon. on the En-
senada-Tiajuana State road. Maguello
and eighteen men under his command re-
moved the judge and his secretary, who
was travelling with him through the
sb.r rha,-
mutilated their prisoners after the fash
ion of Apache Indians, cutting off their
ears. nose. fingers and finally mailing
their enemies by the loose skin to
live oak tree. The bodies of the out
ragged Mexican officials were discovered
ten days later. The horses were still
alive. They had been tied 10 trees,
from which they had gnawed all the
bark.
Since that time Maguello's career is
a record OF the most fearful crimes
which have ever been committed in all
the wild, chaotic history OF the Califor-
MIA peninsula. Each new atrocity in the
horror of its detail and the bOldness Of
its execution has surpassed the preced-
ing crime.
Maguella is past master in the arts
of torture. He is a bold. daredevil fell
low. with far more intelligence than the
average Mexican laborcr. He is thor
ouehlv familiar with the country, and
1t will be difficult matter to capture
him. The native chollss, or soldier po-
lice are lamentably inefficient. They
are largely composed of Indians who are
drafted into the military as the punish
ment for some petty crime. The word
"cholla," meaning shallow minded" is
a good name for the soldates. who are
reluctant to enter any undertaking
which will involve them In any personal
danger Added to this. they are crimi-
nails themselves.-Chic Chronicle.

possible reasons

Smoke and Fog.

Influential Londoners believe that the
famous fogs Of London are due as much
to the large clouds of smoke which over
hang the city as to the moisture in the
air. says the Baltimore Sun The fac
tiers are moist. still air and the large
quantities Of unconsumed smoke. Sir
William Richmond estimated that as
oil in suspension in the atmosphere
daily from the chimncys OF London. This
gives some idea of the magnitude of the
nuisance in that city. The dirt caused
by this black fog is only one of the re-
sulting evils. Days spent in darkness
or in artificial light affect the mind as
well as the body. The expense OF arti
fetal light as well as the large amount
OF oxygen consumed by artificial light is
another item of much Importance which
should re considered in this connection.
Inhabitants OF dark cities are never
cheerful. and this may be the reason for
ne spleen of the English. which. is sup
posed by the French to be characteristic.
The London society state that there is
even Il heavy increase in the death rate
during the heavy black fogs. and there
can be no doubt that so much smoke in
the air is cause of bronchitis and other
determinations of the respiratory tract,
which in their turn give rise to greater
liability TO pneumonia and tuberculosis.
Some Of our American cities are nearly.
if not quite. as much in need of coal

of his dress coat and give il to him.
