CAPT. McDON-
AID SURPRISED
-Four Ms1lcans Were killed.
While Riding Along BOad Officers
Without Warning, Are Fired
Upon.

Rio Grande, Tex, Nov. Gas
a result of an attack by armed
men on Capt. Mcdonald and his
rangers, four of the assailants
are dead, one dangerously
wounded and two are in Jail.
The Rangers were at the CAST
ia ranch, on the road to Rio
Grande City about 8 O'Clock last
night. They met o hack full of
armed men who opened fire
without warning.
Capt. Mcdonald called out to
them to stop; that they were
officers. Two of the men jump
ed out and at once fired, the as
sailants cursing the officers.
The Rangers then returned
the fire and a pitched battle fol-
lowed. The team ran away,
Capt. Mcdonald firing from it.
Finally he jumped out and tough;
on foot. While the firing ragged
in front, the Rangers were fred
on from a house at the back.
After one hundred or more
shots were fired, theF assailants
apparently fed, one remaining
dead OH the ground.
McDOnald's driver was shot
through the shirt and undershirt,
but his body was not wounded.
Three Rangers were left to hold
the battlefield, Capt. Mcdonald
and the others coming to town.
The Sheriff, Deodro Garcia, i'm.
mediately organized a force and
went out, leaving the Rangers
on guard, who meanwhile cap
tured two men believed to have
been engaged in the attack.
The Sheriff's examination dew
eloped the other dead and wound
ed men. The hack and several
carbines of the assailants are in
the hands of the officers.

DEATH OF MRS. cRAIGIE.

The death of Mrs. Craigie, better
known to English-speaking people I'M
der her pen name of John Oliver
Hobbs, was sudden and will prove a
shock to followers of the current liter
ature. While not a popular writer in
the sense of the six best Sellers" her
writings had a lively interest for dis
eliminating readers. Her work had
tinge of misanthropy, induced prob
ably by her unhappy marital expert
ences, but beneath her irony there
was a vein of genuine humor. Her
Characterization were keen and she
had marvellous power of exposure
of humbug and used it most unspar-
ingly in her earlier books.
Less than year ago Mrs. Craigie
made lecture tour of America which
was very successful. Her lectures
were partly literary, but one she de-
livered was comparison Of Tolstoy,
Loyola and Wesley, in which she er-
deavored to trace the philosophy of
great religious movements in the
world, her point of view being that
most religious leaders had gone to
irrational extremes. She was also the
author of many dramatic pieces, the
most successful being The Ambassa-
DOR" which was successfully played
in London and New York.
