Seven American Railroad Men Are Believed
to Have Been Taken Captive
MAXIMO CbSTILLUS GANG HELD RESPONSIBLE
General Villa Ansered at the Depredaton Orders Constitutional
ist Commander to Kill Any Men in the District Who CaunOt
Account for Their ACtiOns-Deed Was Done in Reprsal
for Executions, II Is Believed

Juarez, Mex, Feb. 6.-Seven Ameri-
can railroad men are believed to be
prisoners, the great Cumbre railroad
tunnel through the continental di-
vide is in ruins, and the Mexican
Northwestern passenger train which
left here Wednesday morning is a
charred wreck at the mouth of the
tunnel as the result of the depreda-
tions of members of the Maxine Cas-
tillo gang of bandits.
This information, amplified by re-
ports received last night from Chihua-
hua, was received here today at the
headquarters Of the railroad. It cor
rects last nights statement that 1t
was the Drake tunnel, smaller bore
south Of Cumbre, that was destroyed.
The Gumbre tunnel is the largest on
the road, S,7OO feet long. and requir-
ed is months to complete.
The names Of the prisoners reported
here are:
M. ]. Gilmartin, superintendent Of
the road.
H. schofield, superintendent Of ter
minals at Juarez.
Lee williams, assistant manager q
the passenger train.
J. b. Webster, conductor.
e. ]. MeCutcheon, engineer Of the
passenger train.
Fl. F. Marders, express agent.
A seventh American is believed to
have been on this train, and Ameri-
cans also were employed on the
freight train which was used to fire
the tunnel.
General Francisco Villa, commander
Of the rebel forces, and now at Chi
huahua, was enraged at the news, and
in a telegram which passed through
here today informed General Felipe
Macias, operating in the Casas Gran
des district, to shoot every man who
could not satisfactorily account for his
presence there.
The bandits are believed to be oper-
ating in two forces Of about 80 men
each, as Cumbre is a hard days ride
from El Vale, near Casas Grandes,
where % of the robbers were captur-
ed and shot last Tuesday.
The other detachment, believed to
be under Castillo himself, did the
work probably in revenge for the fate
Of his men at Ell Vale. He captured
a train of stock cars Wednesday and
ran it into the tunel where it was
set on fire. The tunnel was blazing
mass that evening when the passen-
ger train from Juarez was captured
and sent headlong into the roaring fur
mace, which was belching flame and
smoke from it's mouth.
Castillo then burned two neighboring
bridges. one Of them constructed Of
steel. and ran two locomotives over
the enlbankment into the deep can
