He was one of the best known men in the low CT Ric Grande valley.
 Say La Rosa There.
 Civil and military authorities today are not agreed on whether any of the bandits had crossed from the Mexican side. Military officers believe the raiG was made up from the American side. Luis de La Rosa, whom two, passen- gers said they recognized among the robbers, has several times been seen in Matamoros, and American army officers had asked for his arrest by Carranza officials. The latter, about two weeks ago, announced taat De La Rcsa had a bandit camp on the Mexi- can side about 30 miles above Browns vile, and said they were trying tc capture him. Nothing further was heard from him until last night.
 Probably 1,500 calvrymen and in- fantry today joined in patrol and search work for traces of the bandits for a distance of 30 miles up the Am ercan side of the river. Hundreds cf civilians, led by scores Of deputies, joined in his work

The bandits fired thrcugh the toilet door, through which battened lead bullet made a wound in DcCain's abdomen. Harry J. Walls, the other man Tn the tCilet, who also was wounded, was we'll known in politics here.
 United States cavalrymen for seven miles chased a young Mexican, who appeare in Les Indios district to- day, about 30 miles up the river from the place of the robbery, with his horse dripping from hard riding. He was brought from Fort Brown here, where army officers questioned him. They said that his stories were ccn- fiicting but that he gave no information to connect him with the robbery.

LIVED BECAUSE 1T WAS PAT
Like Many Another Americanism,
"Anxious Seat" Needs No Apology
for Its Use Anywhere.

We are indebted to a contemporary
for the information that an Ameri-
can preacher named Finney invented
the term ''anxious seat as the name
Of the bench upon which those con-
victed Of sin at REVEALS might sit to
signify their desire for prayers. The
expression was coined seventy or
eighty years ago and must have been
slang in its day. Having originated
in this country, it bears the added
opprobrium Of being all American
ism and so should have been doomed
to death according to the purists
standard long ago It didn't die,
perhaps because its original slangi-
ness made it so much more snappy
than its British equivalent, "peni-
tent FORM" but what we are wonder
ing about is whether Billy Sundays
much-berated vocabulary may not
supply some words to the stock Of
the revivalist that will some day be
as respectable as this bit Of verbal
coinage which was new in the '30s
and is venerable now.-St. Louis Re-

GOLDFISH ARE RAPID GROWERS
Norwegian Director Of Fisheries tries
, Some Interesting Experiments with
Finny Revenue Producers.

The Norwegian director Of fish.
cries, DR.. Johan Horst, has just con-
cluded some interesting experiments
designed to ascertain the extent OF
the migrations Of the cod and the
rate Of its growth, as we'll as the
probable rate at which the supply is
being exhausted.
Last year he caught 2,400 Of the
fish, and after marking them, re-
turned them to the sea. Two hum
dred and seventy-nine of these were
caught again the same season, which
shows, of course, that the drain upon
the supply Of cod is even larger than
has been popularity supposed.
| The increase in the length of q
fish marked on May &c and caught
on the 10th Of the following Febru-
airy was considerably over 100 pei
cent It was shown, too, that during
the period named the fish had trav'
eled fully 1,700 kilometers.
AS a result Of his studies Doctor
Horst is not inclined to pessimisr
as to the outlook for the industry
While admitting that the proportion
Of fish caught every year is extremely
large, he feels certain that the "a
pidity of their growth and the extern
Of their migrations are factors tina
will prevent a too serious drain upo1
the supply, especially when the fish
cries are properly regulated by law
