Gordon died of his wounds, and Vice and
the Englishman were tried and sentenced
to death. The Englishman was executed.
but Vice, who had forty wounds, was no
candidate for a frst-class execution, and
so he was kept in the hospital for many
months. Eventually, the representations OF
the State department and the boys mother
prevailed, and he was set free.
Two others of the party were Samuel ].
Parker of this city and Hunert ]. Kincaid
of Moose Jaw, Canada. They returned to
this country from Brazil about four months
before Vice arrived. They were sorry-look-
ing revolutionists, and quite eager to pur-
sue some other vocation.
According to their story the nine young
men landed at Bahia. purchased horses, and i.
then proceeded by boat to Athens, where
they saddled their horses in the suburbS,
and galloped into the town square. The
plan was TO sweep the square with volley
or two OF Mauser bullets, stand the police
on their heads and take possession OF the
town. They were to Join several hundred
revolutionists, under command of General
Magell The police had been warned of
their approach, however. and dispersed
them after a hot skirmish. The six who
had not been wounded or captured. re-
treated up a railroad track, cutting tele-
graph wires as they went. But finally some
800 Brazilian policemen hunted them down
and placed them in jail. After many trials
they were released.

Recent advices from Nicaragua had It
that Captain Godfrey Fowler had been cap
tured, although subsequently these reports
were denied. Captain Fowler Is a member

General Estrada. the insurgent chieftain'
and al the battle OF Tisma, he worked his
rapid-fire ordnance until the triumphant
government troops, under General Dara,
we're within ten feet OF him. Then he was
wounded in the leg and dragged 10 the

He remained hidden for two days in the
house of a native sympathiser, while the
government soldiers were beating the bush
for him Word subsequently came that he
had been arrested but this was later
denied This Is Captain Fowler's first
revolution, but his record thus far in
sures him profitable employment from time
to time in Central and South America,
Many engineers at work in Central and
South American countries are turned from
their legitimate profession by the lure Of
money and power. Engineers can always
get commissions when trouble occurs, and
their value Is found in the throwing
up OF the Notifications, which would
crumble II garden hose were played
on them, but which serve their purpose
well as more formidable forts, since
opposing armies rarely approach near
enough 10 do any real damage The aver
age revolutions is now referred to. Some
times, as in the most recent case OF the
revolt in Nicaragua. some real fighting
occurs.-New York Post.
