It's club-foot that Dad is after.
Club-Foot is a great bull grizzly,
reputed the largest and most fero-

ranged the Plumas wilds.
The grudge between man and bear
began rs years ago in bloody dis
pute over Grizzly Peak, a rugged
mountain of the Sierra Nevada range,
where both sought sole dominion.
Every summer Hefner grazed

pounds of lead in his pelt.

he'd had part of his fore-paw shot

foot across.
Zone day stumbled upon an In

beside him was that club-foot track.

two stripped carcasses. Beside them,
in the blood-soaked mud, the imprint

BANDIT CASTILLO CAPTURED.
Man Who Caused Cumbre Tunnel Dis
aster Caught on u. s. Soil.

FL Paso. Tex, Feb. 1S.-Maximo
Castillo. the Mexican bandit charged
with responsibility for the Cumbre
tunnel disaster. in which ten Ameri-
cans and forty-oEe others lost their
lives. was captured hirty-eight miles
south OF Hachita, n. NJ, yesterday by
American troops.
This information was conveyed to
Gen. Hugh L. Scott. commandant at
Fort Bliss. in an official telegram this
afternoon from Capt. White. Ninth
United States cavalry.
With the bandit were six OF his fol-
lowers. According to Capt Whites
brief dispatch. they surrendered with
out fight. They will be brought here.
Castillo, to avoid a range Of noun
tains on the Mexican side. made de-
tour which brought him into American
territory. Capt. White was on the
watch. having received information
yesterday from Walter Mccormick.
American manager Of Las Palomas
ranch, on the Mexican side that the
bandit was in the vicinity.
Capt White telegra phcd by army
wireless to Gen. Scott for instructions
and was ordered to arrest the bandit
should he put foot on American soil.
Whether the prisoner shall be sur
rendered to the rebels Is legal ques-
ton which remains to be settled. If
this is done there is no doubt that he
will be executed. He is not charged
with any crime on this side.
Castillo set fire to q freight train
in the Cumbre tunnel two weeks ago.
The cars were burning when a passen- :
oar TWIN ora aaheN into IL and every
life aboard was lost. The tunnel Is
still burning.
A dispatch from Hachita, n. NJ, says
that the capture was made by Lieut.
Rothwell Of Troop A. and remarks that
it was particularly gratifying as COM
ing on the heels Of the theft OF eigh-
teen horses belonging to the regiment
by Mexicans on Sunday.
The band Of outlaws. under heavy
guard, is now marching overland "a
Hachita and should arrive about mid
night" the message says. Charles NC
Dow, a prominent rancher. who knows
Castillo. identified Castillo. and the
latter made no atempt to deny It.
"Capt. White will ask that Castillo
and Capt. Emilio Garcia, member
of the band previously captured. be
transported to FL Paso. as the mum

"Cavalrymen are watching the bor-
der for larger body OF Castillo's men

Furnace Cause Of Blaze.

Jericho. L. l., FeFb. 1s.-The country
home Of Mrs. William X. Vanderbilt,
Jr, valued with its furnishings and art
treasures at nearly $1,O0o,00O. was de-
stroyed by fire today. The only occu-
pants were the caretaker and few
servants.
The caretaker. attributes the blaze to
an overheated furnace. The fire de-
partments of Hicksville and westbury
were called but on account of the snow
clogged roads they were unable to drag
their apparatus to the scene. The
house was built last year at a cost
Of 100000, and later additions cost
100000. 1t had sixty rooms. The
walls were hung with rare tapestries
and valuable paintings.
