Colonel Quintanills stated today the sergeant had dis obeyed orders issued by General Ri caut commandant of the Mexican dis trict between Matamoras and Nuevc Laredo several weeks ago calculated to promote friendliness between Amer jeans and Mexicans.
 He said the fact that Wheeler ant Pederson were on Mexican soil un armed and even without their cloth ing made it plain they were innocen of causing any trouble. None of tn bodies of the four drowned private have been recovered.

SURRENDERS TO PEN-

w. H. Liggett, Convicted of Mur- der Sentenced to Seven Years.
 Escapes and Wanders Over a
 Great Part World, SurrenderS

Little Rock, Jan. 29.-'T realized that l had done wrong, so I have re- turned to serve out my term"
 So said w. H. Liggett, as he de- livered himself at the penitentiary Thursday, after having wandered all over the United States and part of Europe since his escape from the peni- tentiary farm last July He tells most interesting tale of adventure during the past seven months, and the moral he draws is that it is better to wear convict's stripes, than 10 be fugitive on the earth.
 He was convicted in Phillips county of murder and sentenced to seven lyears imprisonment. He had served twenty months of his time when he escaped. He went to Nebraska, to | Colorado, thence to New Orleans, where he sailed aboards a mule trans port for Liverpool. He went to Lon don, and returned to New York work ing his way back to Vicksburg, Miss. There he decided to come back and serve out his sentence, so that he might spend the rest of his life with , his family. He had reached McGehee when he recognized the posse search i ing for last weeks escapes. Realiz- ing that if he surrendered, he would be unable to prove that he had done so voluntarily, he lodged them and walked to Warren, where his wife is living with her brother. He spent Tuesday night with his family, and the next day surrendered to Deputy Sheriff w. H. Denson, who accompan-
 jed him to Little Rock, where he re- turned to prison.
