It is a common sight he said for the bandits to stop trains in Mexico and compel the passengers and train crews to give what valuables and money they have on their person. am certain that when the United States an- nounces it is going to invade Mexico. he said, the very first thing the Mexicans will do will be to try and kill every American they find In Mexico.
