TWO AMERICANS RESCUED
Captured During Raid by Mexican
Bandits TWO Weeks Ago.

Marathon, Tex. May 17.--Jesse
Deemer, storekeeper on the interna.
tional boundary near Boquillas, Tex,
captured two weeks ago Oy Mexican
raiders, has been set free, six of his
captors killed and seventy-fiye of
them made prisoners,
This news was brought here today
by messengers and over the govern
ment signal corps wire from the south,
The reports say Major Langhorne's
two troops OF the Eight cavalry who
took the trail OF the bandits from
here, overlook the MeXicans 100 miles
south of the border at III Pine, small
village
One report is the Americans fought
the bandits in the village, Another that
the bandits fed on the approach of the
Americans, leaving Deemer behind al.
so his negro cook, Monroe Payne, and
his Mexican clerk, Jose Soils. and that
the Americans followed and surround.
ed the bandits outside the town.
Officially the capture of seventy.fve
prisoners is not admitted This comes
from private sources.
The rescue of Deemer and his two
men was one OF the main reasons for
sending the expedition into Mexico
and this accomplished, it is possible
the troops will return to the Big Bend
region and settle down as border
guards, as the distance from here tC
the Mexican line is almost 100 miles
the roads are poor and the line of com
munication hard to keep open.
The captured bandits are to bt
brought back to the American side o.
the line, it is declared.

Astico valley The Austrian attacks
cover a front of % miles. Ir
The Italians admit their retirement
on this front, and the latest official
