SWIFT VENGEANCE.
orozco Orders Execution of a Rebel
 lefe.
Chihuahua Enterprise.l

A resident of Cusi who made a trip to this city on horseback gave an interesting account last night to an Enterprise reporter of the killing of Pantaleon Bustillos, leader of rebel band, at that point last Tuesday.
 "Pantaleon Bustillos, who for the past month acted as rebel leader, located at Cusi, on the 2l3t entered that town with a band of 20 men. He carried a Mexican flag, bearing across its folds the legend. Anti reeleccionistas, P. R. S." As he rode through the main street of the town, with hat in hand, wreathed in smiles, he bowed to right and left receiving the salutations of the people like a veritable hero.
 Having passed the main street, his men disbanded leaving him with a group of five. At this junc- ture up came Juan Acufia, another rebel leader at the head of twelve on foot, bent on killing Bustillos, in fact charged with that mission by no less parsonage than the in- surrecto chieflain, Pascual Orozco, himself.
 He pulled his gun on Bustillos demanding his surrender. The latter reached for his weapon, but too late-a bullet plowed through his side. He fell from his horse, but struggling to his feet he ran around house crying mo me mate" where he was followed and dispatched at the hands of Acufia with three more bullets.
 His body was searched after he was killed and a big roll of bills as we'll as a bag of silver was found or his person.
 "It was said he was ordered kill ed because he held up store keepers for money and because too he desecrated the Mexican tricolol by putting upon it his own name.'

For nearly two hours and half
Beattie was in the witness chair and
when court recessed for luncheon, the

Fotes separating them, Jose Pine Sua-

today renewed their contest before the

ton as vice president of Mexico.
Alfredo Robles Dominguez. who re-
ceived only 297 votes last night, and
who therefore under the rules Is elimi-

Fernando Iglesias Calderon doubtless
also will be eliminated today, his vote
Of 321 being added to Dominguez' 297,
and split up between Vasquez Gomez
and Pin Suarez.
The unexpected showing made by
Vasquez Gomez has increased the fear
on the part of the Pinoistas that he will
get more than half of this potential
vote. The Yucatan candidates sup
porters worked hard up to the opening
hour of the convention to secure pledges
for their candidate. The hackers of
Calderon, while clinging to hope, were
reluctant to make promises. but 1t is
commonly believed that a fair majority
of the votes polled last night by Robes
Dominguez will go to swell the plural
ity of Pine SuareZ. s.
The necessity for repeating the roll
call today precluded the possibility of
a vice president being nominated before
