Special to The Record.

Special to The Record.
much excitement here over the re-
port that our townsman, John Eiland,
has been captured by bandits In old
Mexico and held for ransom The
matter Is queer one. and while it
may be true, yet it is not generally
believed, although the people are
much worked up over 1t.
The circumstances In the case are
somewhat as follows:
Eiland left this place some weeks
ago for Old Mexico, bat stopped over
In Ell Paso and from that place wrote
his wife that he would go from Ell
Paso to Douglas, Arizona. and from
there to Old Mexico. This was the
last that was heard from him until
the latter part of last week. when
Mrs. Eiland received a letter from
opc w. B. Allison. Mr.. Allison was
at one time a member of the Texas
Ranger force. and was also sheriff
Of Midland county, Texas.
The letter which Mr.. Allison receiv
ed was q most peculiar document,
and was signed with the name of
George Reese. The writer told ALI.
son In the letter that he thought that
Allison was still an officer. and for
that reason ne wrote him as he did.
He further stated that he had met a
Mexican who told him that some Mex
loan bandits had captured an Ameri-
can by the name OF "Iiand'' and were
holding him for ransom. This letter
was sent by Mr. Allison to Mrs. Eli
and at this place.
Now comes the peculiar part of the
>entire matter. and that is that the
letter to Allison is in the hand writ
ing OF Mr.. Esland. although ii is sign
ed by the name of George Reese.
This writing has been identified by
Mrs. Eiiand and by Mr. Glands for
mer partner, j. B. Sledge, as the wri-
ting of Mr.. Eiiand. Then comes the
solution of the reason for his sign
his own name incorrectly. This may
he accounted for by the fact that he
was IN the hands OF brigands and
was forced to write the letter as he
did and sign q name other than his
own In any event the matter Is a
most peculiar one and is causing his
friends much worry.
Mr.. Eiiand was connected with the
Bank OF Portales until few weeks
ago but has severed his connection
with that institution. He was SO I'M.
fortunate as to lose several thousand
dollars within the last year and was
also defeated as candidate for coun-
IL treasurer in the primaries held
here recently. On account OF these
diflculties, he decided to move from
here and locate in another place. This
may hare been the cause for his re-
moving q Old Mexico.

The relations which existed between

destruction of the ship Sunday. The
details of the engagement reached
the navy department today. The Tsu-
shima found the Novik off Korsa-
kovsk harbor ait 4:30 in the after
noon. She Immediately signalled her
discovery to the Chitose by wireless
telegraphy and at once attacked the
enemy. The Novik was hit frequently
and at 5: 40 retreated to the inner an
chorage harbor. She was then envel-
oped in smoke and evidently on fire
The Tsushima had received projectiles
through her bunkers. She was leak
ing badly and listing and was forced
to withdraw from the range of the
NoFiks guns for repairs. Sunday the
Chitose entered the harbor and found
the Russian crew disembarking. She
shelled the Novik for fifty minutes
and left her practical wreck. The
Tsushima has been repaired and is

be sent to Rear Admiral Stirling to
cooperate with the minister and the
consuls in the protection of Ameri-

st. Marys o., Aug. 23.-Before
daybreak today the gates at the head
of st. Mary's reservoir were blown
up by dynamite The report was
heard for miles, and buildings were
shaken here and windows broken.
Every precaution was Immediately
taken to prevent food. Many peO-
pie considered the reservoir a men
ace to the surrounding farms. If the
explosion had blown out the entire
bulkhead and opened the food gates
hundreds OF lives would have been
lost. This bulkhead is one through
which the Miami and Erie canal is
fed, and the reservoir is the largest
artificial body of water in the world.
Blood hounds have been put on the
trail of the dynamiters.
There has been much feeling among
the people living in the vicinity of
the reservoir owing to a widespread
belief that the banks of the big body
of water are not safe, Notwithstanding
the fact that the state has spent large
earth works.
