CHAPTER XVIII.

There was little chance for the
fugitives, ever had their lead been
twice as long, for the inexperienced
rider has small show against the man
who has lived from childhood in the
saddle. II was only a few minutes be-
fore the grim pursuers o~verhauled
them, swept alongside, and checked
their horses by strong hands upon the
bridle. Solano drew his revolver, and
then. quickly realizing the helpless
ness of his situation, calmly returned
1t to its resting place. Brockett drove
his right fist, v~iciously. into the face
OF the nearest rider, but was wrapped
round with powerful arms before he
could strike a second blow. Then the
cayalcade, escorting the prisoners,
turned. rode out of the little cross
road, and yrotted slowly up the hill.
Descending the farther slope, they
rode on in the same dead silence for
perhaps an hour. Coming to a thicket
beside the road, they wheeled into it's
dark stretches, threaded their way
along a narrow track In single file.

Captain Juan Torrejon's bandits cer-

were sworn out by Florence Brown. one
of the negroes who claims that she
was arrested by the bailiff and made to
pay Boswell a fee when there was no
charge against her. The warrants are
on blanket charge of misdemeanor.
All three were placed under $1,000
bonds by Justice Jordan yesterday. Bos-
