dig up the money.
Officers Soon on Trail,
Having relieved himself of the gold,
Beeler purchased horse at the ranch
and started off on wild ride to gain
the other side Of the Rio Grande and
the mountains of Mexico Within an
hour after Beeler left the office with
the money the express company had
spread the alarm, but it was not until
along toward noon next day that the
abandoned horses and wagon were
found in the brush Meanwhile q
dozen detectives were busy, and the
peace officers along the border were
notified by wire to keep a lookout
for the fugitive. The trail of Beeler
was picked up at the ranch south of
San Antonio, where he claims to have
buried most of the money. G. A.
Taft of Houston, state superintendent
Of the Wells-Fargo, and one of the COM
pany's best detectives, Eugene Ygla-
sias of Laredo. were in hot pursuit. Be
tween the ranch and the Rio Grande
crossing Beeler wore out three horses.
The Mexican officials on the border
kept sharp lookout. Beeler says he
thought II was all up with him when
one of these officers suddenly came
upon him and, drawing down on him
with a gun, ordered him to surren-
der. Beeler bribed the officer with
$500 and not only was released, but
was directed to the shortest cut into
the distant mountains.
Captured by Brigands.
In the vicinity of Lampazos, Mexico
Beeler fell into the hands of a band
of brigands who made their rendez-
vous In caves in the mountains near
Bustamantte, about IT'S miles south of
the point where he had crossed the
Rio Grande. They robbed him of all
his money, except few cents. Cir
culars. printed in Spanish. describing
the fugitive, had been widely circu-
lated over northern Mexico. Through
this means the bandit chief learned
that their American captive was
wanted for stealing $4,000 The brig
ands made demand upon Beeler for
the money, threatening to kill him II
he did not turn 1t over to them. In
order to save his life, he told them
he had buried all of it except that
which they had found upon his per-
son and taken away from him. When
their threats became pronounced he
agreed to escort the robbers to the
spot where he had hidden the money.
A start on the return journey Of more
than 800 miles was made and the
little party had reached the Texas |
side of the Rio Grande when they !
learned that posses of officers were |
out all over the border country |
searching for Beeler. They escorted |
their prisoner back to their mountain
caves to await more favorable op-
portunity for hunting for the buried I
treasure.
Apprehension In Mexico
Meanwhile, Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Ygla.
sias had traced Beeler. Going to Gen.
Bernardo Reyes, governor of the state
Of Nueve Leon, Mr.. Taft asked his as
sistance in capturing the fugitive.
Governor Reyes sent for the alcalde
Of the Bustamante district and told
him that unless he caught the missing
American robber within Sc hours his
oflce would be declared vacant The
alcalde sent out men to scour every
part of his district, and Beeler was
captured in the camp of the brigands.

BIRMINGHAM CITIZEN SWEARS
TO REMARKABLE STATEMENT

want to tell you what DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp. Root did for my wife. She was
troubled with terrible pains in her back
and they were such that it deprived her
of many nights sleep. There was a thick
red sediment in her urine like brick dust.
The passage of the urine was very annoy
ing, being OF burning sensation and tho
complication was making her very thin
and weak, The medicine which the doc.
tor gave her did not seem to help her
and she was finally persuaded to try DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root. ! purchased one
bottle of the large size for her and it helped
her greatly. After she had taken three
bottles she did not have any more trouble
with her kidneys. 1t has been seven
years since she took Swamp Root and she
is now well and healthy At the time of
her kidney trouble, she weighed 100 pounds
years of age and cheerfully recommends
DIR Kilmer's Swamp Root TO her friends
and feels very thankful that she found q
remedy, with such wonderful merit.

made Coblentz my headquarters for few days and used it as starting point for trips up the Rhine and Mo- selIe. Cobientz is situated at the con fuence of the Rhine and Moselle, hence it's name. At the point where the rivers come together is large memorial with an equestrian statue of the old Kaiser William. At the other side of the river is the strong military fort of Ehren- breitstein standing on a rock four or five hundred feet high. It is said to have provisions for S0,00O men for three years. Near by is the cathedral of St.. Castor, which dates from about 8O0 Here Edward III of England had his interview with the German emperor be. fore invading France In front of the church is a monument erected at the time Napoleon passed through on his way to invade Russia. The French, supposiug that they would conquer the country, had the following inscription; "A. D. 1872, the Year Made Memorable by the Invasion of Russia" When Napoleon came flying back after the burning of Moscow with his defeated and starving army and the Russians at his heels, the Russian commander took possession of Coblent2. When his gen. erals saw the monument and inscrip- tion they wanted it torn down; but he said, "No; let this inscription be carved beneath the French one: Seen, Read and Approved by the Russian Com mandant in Charge of Coblentz in 18l4'" Both inscriptions are there yet. About block away Henrietta Sontag, the great singer, was born.
 The palace is very interesting and was used by the old Kaiser William and Empress Augusta. There are some beautiful paintings and pieces of sculp- ture, chinaware and furniture and some beautiful and rich presents made by other rulers. The floors are of polished hardware and you are compelled to wear felt slippers when walking about The grounds are magnificent and face the Rhine.

 took stroll up to Aiken, about IA miles up the Moselle (or MoseD. first passed through Moselweiss, small place with notifications. Caligula is said to have been born here, but l be. lieve there would have been just as much water run under Gold creek bridge if he had never been born. 1 had heard enough of him in Rome.
 l crossed the bridge to Gulls, vil- lage that would be described as "smil- ing" It is in a rich district and is sur. rounded by apple and pear orchards. Next 1 passed through Winningen, a place wAere the wine is said to be very good. l might say that the higher the hills the more vineyards there are. Where the hills are low and the valley is wide there are fields of grain with apple and pear orchards.
 Next I came to Cobern, where there are two old castle ruins on the hill. l crossed the Mosel by ferry to Deiblich. There is prosperous village here. They were running steam thresher here and thought they would need my advice, so 1 stayed with them while There were about twenty wagon loads of grain lying by waiting to be threshed. When one wagon was empty another drove up and the driver passed over sheaf by sheaf to the top of the thresher. The boy stood on top; cut the bands and rolled the sheaves into the cylinder and it seemed to me they were rolled in sideways. A Minnesota feeder would put through ten times as much. i. @. a feeder using both arms. The grain ran through spouts into gunny sacks. The straw was trussed up in bundles, piled on wagon and driven away. The chatf was taken care of by women, the first time had ever seen women attend a thresher. The straw bands did not go through, but were piled up to be handled some other way. l gave them great deal of good advice, but they didn't seem to give damn for it. That is what hate about the Germaus-they think they are so internally smart. This village used to be very bad for witches. One poor archbishop had to kill twenty. five of the villagers one year for witchcraft. That kind of thing is very hard on an archbishop.
 The roads were good, the country rich, interesting and picturesque, the weather fine and it was pleasure to walk. I passed through two more quaint villages, Kuhr and Obeifel; then came to Aiken with hill behind it about 1900 feet high, the side facing the river being covered with vineyards, and the top being crowned with one of the strongest castles l ever saw. The outer walls were about 30 feet high and nearly 300 feet long; then there were the thick strong inner walls of the castle itself and at some distance from either end rose thick round tower about 100 feet high. Barney Mcguire tells story about this castle, which he called Thuron. The people here call it Thur and or Thurant.

 hour, Long have the rocks cawed round the
 tower; Der flower and tree loud huns the
 bee. And the wild kid sports merrily The sun is bright, the sky is clear Wake, lady wake. and hasten here. Up. maiden fair, and bind thy hair. And rouse thee in the breezy air. The luliing stream that soothed thy
 dream. Is dancing in the sunny beam. Waste not these hours, so fresh. so
 gay; Leave thy soft couch and haste away. Up, Time will toll the morning bell Its service sound has Chimed well; The aged crone keeps house alone, The reapers to the fields are gone. Lose not these hours. so cool. so gay; Lo, while thou sleepst they haste
