LOOK FOR BANDITS.

cowboys from ranches on the border
are Saturday securing the foothills Of
the Sierre Madre mountains in west
ern Chihuahua for MaXimo Castlllos
bandits who seized a number of Ameri-
cans at Big CaE<~re tunnel on the
Mexico Northwestern railway.
The known ceptives are:
NJ J. Gilmartin. super.ntendent or

minal at Juarez; Lee Williams, assist
ant superintendent of the commissary
department Of the railway; +. j. Nc

ster and II. T. Mardens.
Mexican army scouts reported TO
Gen. Benavides, commanding the local
garrison, that bandits had fled into the
mountains, and orders were given TO
show no quarter to the brigandS.
One report that the Americans had
been killed was generally discredited
as IT was believed that Castillo planned
TO hold them for ransom. An appeal
in behalf Of the captiVes has been
lodged with the state department.
Appeals were made to the United
States department of state Friday by
officials Of the MADEIRA Co, limited,
for assistance. The officials here also
notified Gen Villa in Chihuahua and
Gen. Remavides in Juarez OF the sit
uation, and asking that some thing
be done to rescue the prisoners.
After capturing the train. the
bandits ordered the American passen-
gers and the so natives to disembark
and placed them under guard.
Throttle Il Opened.
Then they opened the engine throt-
tie 70 full speed and the train dashed
down the tracks into the Cumbre tun-
mel where previously freight tram
had been placed. The wild passenger
train dashed into the burning freight.
The train was composed Of passen-
ger locomotive, a baggage car com
bination mail and express car, one
second class passenger coach and two
first class passenger coaches, besides
two cars containing supplies and pro-
visions. one consigned to the MADEIRA
Co, limited, in MADEIRA, and the 9TH
er for the BabicOra ranch, owned by
the Hearst estate.
Supt. Frederick J. Clarke OF the
Chihuahua division of the Mexico
Northwestern telegraphed 20 the Off
cials in JuareZ Friday that the first
reports of the destruction were true
in every detail
A Mexican who was a passenger on
the train but who claimed 10 have
escaped from the bandltS after tney
had captured the passengers arrived
in Aguaje. the next station this side
Of Cumbre, this morning and said
that the bandits had notified the pas
sengers that they were 10 be taken
under guard To Palomas. a border
port opposite Columbus. y. NJ.
Officials OF the road do not believe
this They think the bandits have
given out this statement TO mislead
whatever forces might be sent out to
pursue them.

RUMOR JORN D.
HAS SKIPPED
To DODGE TAX

CLEVELAND. O, Feb. THE five
days allowed John ID. Rockefeller by
the county tax commissioners TO re-
turn for taxation his personal prop
erty, valued at from $500, 100000 to
$500, 100000, expires today.
The tax commissioners delivered
their ultimatum to the oil m ter
when they dashed through the gates
of his Forest Hill estate in a county
automobile and sped up to the sOOr
last Monday morning. They were de-
MED admittance to Mr.. Rockefeller's s
presence. but they left with his sec
retary tax return blank and a letter
calling his attention to the law,
which. they say, makes him resi-
dent of Cleveland for purposes Of
taxation. Close friends Of Mr.. Rookie
feller would not confirm the rumOr
that he had left the city for larry
town, n. Y, last night. A telegram
from Buffalo, y. y, however, said
that he arrived there ct 1925 last
night. The tax commissioners said
saturday that his leaving the city will
have little effect upon their action.
IF Rockefeller has fled it means
he is afraid To face us, afraid TO be
summoned to give an account of his
property" said Tax Commissioners
Fackler.
1--WE would have liked to hear from
Mr.. Rockefeller himself upon the sub
ject Of his personal property, but IL
he prefers not TO meet US we will
place his property on the duplicate
at the best figure we can arrive at
with the aid of the best legal assist
ance we can obtain"
Since delivery of the message of
the tax commissioners last Monday
not a hint has been given as to what
action viii be taken by Mr. Rookie
feller in regard TO making a return
for his property.
The tax commissioners say that Mr..
Rockefeller stayed in Cleveland long
er than usual because his attorneys
failed TO note the amendment to the
tax law by which a person residing
in Cuyahoga county for the larger
part of the year preceding the first
Monday in February is declared to
be a resident of the county for taxa
tiOn purposes. Formerly the law
read: THE larger portion Of the y
months preceding the second Monday

Soccer Voted Out

At meeting of the boys of the
high school this afternoon for the pur-
pose of discussing the arrangements
for fall sports, the school boys took
practically unanimous issue with the
patrons on the question of rugby foot
ball and voted their preference for
that sport. Soccer appeared to be en-
tirely in the discard and other sports
were given votes as follows: Baseball
30, basket ball 10, track 6, Soccer 2,
marbles l. The school authorities took
the position. that the patrons do not
desire to have the game of rugby re-
instated in the high school and that
their wishes should be respected and
that some other game should be chos-
en-. The preferential vote showed
baseball to be away in the lead as a
favorite for fall sport, and it is prob
able that it will be chosen.
