strict neutrality, and in nowse endeavored to influence
Its readers for either Judge Robinson or Mr. Lilly.

MEXICAN BANDITS
 KILL AMERICANS
SEVENTEEN AMERICANS TAKEN FROM TRAIN, STRIPPED
 AND EXECUTED.
ONLY ONE AMERICAN ESCAPES
After First News Was Received 3 Censorship Was Imposed on Wires Between Juarez and Chihuahua
 City by Carranza Officials.

Fl Paso, Tex.-Seventeen persons, all thought to be Americans returning from Chihuahua City to reopen mines at Cusihuiriachic, Chihuahua, were taken from a Mexican Northwestern train by bandits, stripped and lined up along the track for execution, accord ing to message received here from Thomas M. Holmes, one of the r who escaped
 Whether the remaining Is Ameri- cans were executed is not known def initely here, but it IS feared they were killed
 It is supposed the bandits belonged to the forces of Gen. Jose Rodriguez, Villa supporter, known to be oper- ating in Chihuahua against the de facto government of Mexico.
 Almost immediately after the first news was received a censorship was imposed on the wires between Juarez and Chihuahua City by the Carranza officials. This action was taken, it was said, "until the story could be verified from official Mexican sources. D
 According to the brief message re- ceived here, the train bearing the Americans was stopped by the ban dits about 50 miles west of Chihuahua City. The mining men were taken from the train, robbed, stripped naked and lined up along the cars for ex- ecution. Holmes was said to have been on the extreme end of the line, and as the firing squad took position, it is reported, he broke away and fled into She desert. With feet and body cut and bleeding from stones and sharp cactus, he ran until he no long CT beard the whistle of bullets pass him.
 He succeeded in reaching friendly Mexicans, it is reported and was aid ed back to Chihuahua City.
 The first news of the bandit raid was received here through a cryptic telegram from Holmes to officials of the smelting company, asking them to notify his wife that he had reached Chihuahua City and was safe. Wheth- CT he was prevented from sending further information or supposed news of the occurrence already had reach ed Fl Paso is not known.
 His message aroused anxiety con- corning the fate of the other men known to have left Chihuahua City for Cusihuiriachic and before the censorship was imposed they succeed ed in getting into communication with mining men in Chihuahua City, who furnished the brief details of the attack.
