PERSIMNON GAP, Tex, April 9.-(By
Messenger to Marathon.)-A story con-
corning the seven Americans who were
kidnapped by the band of Mexican brig
ands who raided Glen Springs, Tex, was
brought here by Nicholas ]. Pistorius.
engineer of the Porto Rico mines at
Boquillas, Mexico. He stopped at this
place on his way to Ell Paso.
Pistorius himself was a prisoner OF
the Mexican bandits, but succeeding in
slipping away from them and hiding
under a feeding device of the mines
tramway. He was not left there with
out a search being made for him by the
bandits, who all the while were cursing
the gringoes. After half an hour a
leader who was addressed as lieutenant
colonel called back saying:
LET him go, one gringo more or less
makes no difference"
Pistorius, who was accompanied by
Lloyd Wade, a rancher, in an automo-
bile, said that he believed ]. ]. Deemer.
Keeper Of a general store a mile from
Boquillas, had been killed by the
bandits.
TWELVE MILES FROM BORDER.
The Porto Rico mine is owned by the
International Mining company and Is
twelve miles over the Mexican border.
The bandits were encountered on Satur-
day morning after they had committed
the raid on Glen Springs. The MARIA
tive, as related by Pistorius was mostly
Of his own experiences.
AT about IL o'clock Saturday morn
ing" said Pistorius, II was at the mine
with four of my men. A voice sum-
moned me to the shaft entrance from my
engine room. L thought 1t was one of
my men, but when 1 reached there
was covered by a revolver in the hand
of a Mexican. / looked down and saw
the other men with the exception of
the chauffeurs were already prisoners.
went along and as we were being
ordered with curses to proceed, the
chauffeurs, with two trucks loaded with
ore appeared.
THE chauffeurs with the others were
made prisoners and ordered to unload
one of the trucks. The empty automo-
bile was confscated by the bandits and
the other machine was disabled.
NEEDED GASOLINE.
1.-THE chauffeurs were forced to tell
the Mexicans where a supply of gasoline
could be had and while they were busy
getting this 1 succeeded in backing away
without being noticed and secreted my
self in the mine. 1 stayed there until
dark and then made my way to the Rio
Grande. On Sunday morning 1 waded
the river, the water being up to my
armpits at the middle of the stream.
There 1 told friends Of my experience
and when 1 left the border efforts were
being made to organize a posse of citi-
zens to cross the river in pursuit of
the outlaws. 1t is my best belief that
the bandits all were Villistas.
"All of the clothing, watches, money
ard other property which could be taken
handily by the Mexicans were stolen"

Cut Down State Expenses.

There certainly is need OF retrench-
ment in state expenses. Vermont
has too many commissions, too many
heads of department drawing gilt
edged salaries that cost the state
much more than their services are
worth to the people who have to pay
the bills. Then there is growing
tendency to feature local enterprises
and affairs as state necessities or
state benefit and persuade the legisla-
ture to appropriate sums for aid. We
believe the $4,000 appropriation BIZ
ennially for the aid of the state fair
and agricultural fairs, should be dis
continued and the sum used for some
statewide benefit, such as state high
ways similar to the Mohawk trail
Agricultural fairs and the so-caled
state fair should be able to survive
from state aid, These exhibitions
used to stand for that and they would
today if they carried the same popular
interest and enthusiasm as formerly
1t is not today, an exhibition where
the general farming public stand any
show and large number of enthu
siastic supporters are not found at the
present tine. Only exhibitors of eX
pensiye stock where incomes from
these are not necessary to keep them
up, stand any show of commentator
or being prize winners. This elimi
mates the great majority of the farm
ing interests in the state and makes
it necessary to turn fairs into vaude
vile to draw an attendance. We have
seen more real interest and enthu
sasm in the small agricultural society
exhibits that are now things of the
past, than can be found in the great
and glimmering state fairs of today
