last Friday, killing three cavalrymen
and 9-year- old boy, are believed to
be heading into the interior to-day,
many miles from the scene of their
depreciation.
Many Bandits at Large
A posse from Marathon and de-
tachment of 23 troopers of the Four
teenth cavalry are said to have fol
lowed the trail of the MeXiCans into
Coahuila, while other reports have it
that the Americans are await ing at
the Rio Grande for reinforcements.
Captain Caspar Cole is hurrying 10
Boquillas to take command. Two com

1t is about a three days march
from either Marathon or Alpine to the
Rio Grande and as the bandits already
have a three days start, only a re-
lentless pursuit will bring the Amer
leans into contact with their quarry.
Private Still Missing
Nothing has been heard of Private
Roscoe Tyree, who was last seen as
he ran from the adobe house, where
he and his eight companions for three
hours fought the MeXicans and then
fled because the roof of the house was
set aflame by fire balls.
Private Croskem things Tyree was
wounded and wandered off in the
hills where he died Others believe
that Tyree was captured.
Cut Throat of Captive
Unconfirmed information says that
las, has been found dead on the Mex
lean side, with his throat cut. His
clerk, named Compton, is known to
have been a captive of the bandits.
The Americans fled to the hills
when the shooting began.
The bodies of the three soldiers
killed in the Glenn Springs raid, Will
liam Cohen, Stephen J. Coloe and
Hudson Rogers, will be sent to their
homes to-day. Mrs. W. X Ellis and

mighty consolation to US all to know
that you were runnin' loose and had
the archives In your keepin'.
"Well, now, young fellah, I'll tell
you what will surprise you. You say
you saw signs of men and fires, traps

natives themselves. Poor devils they
were, down faced little chaps, and had
enough to make them SO. 1t seems
that the humans hold one side OF this
plateau-over yonder, where you saw
the caves-and the ape men hold this

Of the humans and brought them In as
prisoners. You never heard such a
jabberin' and shriekin' in your life.
The men were little red fellows and
had been bitten and clawed so that
they could hardly walk. The ape men
put two of them to death then and
there-fairly pulled the arm of one Of
them-it was perfectly beastly. Plucky
little chaps they are N hardly gave a

there's heaps of skeletons there, II we
looked for 'em. They have a sort of
clear parade ground on the top, and
they make a proper ceremony about It.
One by one the poor devils have to
jump, and the game is TO see whether
they are merely dashed to pieces or
whether they get skewered on the
canes. They took us out to see 1t,
and the whole tribe lined up on the
edge. Four of the Indians jumped,
and the canes went through EN- like

Yankees skeleton with the canes
