 Out of Fifty Thousand.

SAN ANTONIO, Dec. 23.-Hippo- lite Villa, brother of the famous but now beaten general, was arrested here last night on the charge of defrauding an Fl Paso man out of fifty thousand dollars. The arrested man was on the way to New Orleans at the time.

The corner is at all times about the most crowded but an unusually large number of people were around last night. The robbers worked with the most amaz- ing coolness. Their victim was un- able to utter a cry as they had his neck and throat in a vice and it is possible that most of the people look ing on were not aware of the real truth as the daring of the two men was well calculated to remove suspi- ciOn
