Madero to the department of hacien- Aa,-ss commandante of the gendarmes fiscal for the state of Sonora. succeed Ing. Col. Emello Kosterlitzky, wno has been ordered to take a similar com mand in the state of Chihuahu2 How ever, the appointing of Cabral l-J not yet occurred, but it is public property that he will be.
 hosterlitzky has rendered his resig- nation as comandante of the gen darmes fiscal Of sonora, but he also announces that be will not accept che command Of the ChIhuahL4i branch ot lhs seryIce saying that he wishes to retire to private fife If he must fcare Magdalena, Sonora, in the course o. his duties which is neces- saIy.
 he proposing of the name of Ca DraI for the command of the Sonora branch of the gendarmes fiscal does not come as surprise. as it has been known for some time that he was be- Ing considered for the position. How ever, Cabral himself, has never made any oyertures towards securing any l recognition for his services during the recent revolution, and the choos- 1 ing of him for Kosterlitzkys position seems to be met with approval on all sides.
 Kosterlitzky's Long Service Kosterlitzky is the best liked and most feared man in northwestern Mexico. His life has been one Of action and in the course of carrying out his labors has made many friends, ! especially with the Americans in Mex ico and on the United States side of the boundary line. Since May l. 1873, he has been in the Mexiuan ser vice serving as a colonel of the cav airy until 1896, when he was made cCmmandante of the gendarmes fis- cal, which position he just resigned. Kosterlifzky is a well known figure all Hong the boundary line in Ari- Zona and New Mexico and throughout SonoIr. He has been the hero Of an encounter between the govern ment men and bandit bands, and a number Of years ago was prominent ! III l-c oNDJubdNlOA Ol tue dq LII HUT ans, There has also been a great amount of newspaper stories publish ed about the plucky colonel. and it Is safe to say that many of them were untrue. And again. there was a great amount published about him which was true.
 The retirement of Col. Kosterlitzky will be regretted by many 8 close friend and admirer.
