RETURNED AVIATOR
 RELATES STORY OF
 CAPTURE BY BANDITS

Maria, Texas, Aug. 19.-Lieuten- ant H. G. Peterson, first to cross the border from Mexico today made the following statement:
 "We fell about noon Sunday. We walked all Sunday afternoon and Sunday night until about 2:30 o'clock Monday morning, when we came to a Mexican ranch where we found a Mexican who talked English. He told us Pilares was three miles south. We asked him to take us there but he told us the Mexicans would kill us if we went there. So we got him to take us to road down which we walked about an hour.
 "We slept about one and one-half hours until six o'clock Monday morn ing, when we headed down what we thought was the Rio Grande. We started climbing over the hills, fol- lowing the course of the river.
 "We walked all day Monday, walk ing an hour and resting half an hour. Monday night we walked by night, and slept until six a. m., Tuesday. until D. m., when we went to sleep at village to eat.
 Tuesday we walked until 9:30 a. n1., when we took to the river and swan for five hours downstream. taking ten minutes rest four differ ent times. When we came to the ra- pids we decided we must land and walk.
 "We landed, dried our clothes and started over the mountains.
 'I had little fever. We laid down upon a mountain path and slept un- til a. m., Wednesday. We saw smoke from village and headed in that direction. We thought the will lages was just around the corner from and got lots of food.
 Capture Quietly Made.
 "Then we hired Mexican with three burros to take us to Candelaria. We were ready to start when an arm ed Mexican came up and addressed the Mexican we had employed The armed man spoke in Spanish. Then he hurriedly left.
 "We began our journey on burros with our Mexican guide. We soon were overtaken by six armed bandits and many townspeople. All but two of the bandits left us, but these two continued following us. After go- ing about 45 minutes the bandits stopped us and told the Mexican own CT of the burros to return to his home. The Mexican objected as we were riding his burros. The bandits then headed us up the valley to a village where they made the Mexican drink.
 q gave the one-armed bandit lead CT two dollars and he arranged for food for us and liquor for himself.

The bandits took us to a ranch where they got horse and a mule for us to ride. This was about 7 p. m. Wednesday. We rode until midnight Then we slept until 7:30 o'clock Thursday morning. Resuming oui journey, we continued in the noun tains all day Thursday and slept 1T the mountains at night.
 Friday afternoon about 6:3O the bandits stopped the horses and salc they wanted to have little chat with us. The bandits told us to write the message saying ransom must be paio for our release. The bandit leader spoke English very well. He haC worked on the railroads in Kansas and lost an arm and a leg in an accl- dent, he said. <
 We'll Treated.
 "We stayed overnight in tine noun tains Saturday night when the lead CT returned from sending the mes. sages. The bandits foraged for food and we had plently to eat. We camp ed all day Sunday. The leader left Sunday night and returned Monday morning. He said the money for our release would be paid.
 "We left there at noon Monday and then camped until 9 o'clock Monday night when we started to meet Cap tain Matlack. We met him at ap- prcximately 1:15 a. m., today. After bringing me over the border he re- turned for Lieutenant Davis.
 "We were we'll treated. We hac plenty of food. There were three bandits with us most of the time. We did not learn the name of the bandits but believe we could identify them.
 "We thought all the time we were near Valentine.
 eve met Captain Matlack at g ranch which is about twenty five minutes walk from Candelaria up stream. We were never blidfoldec nor mistreated in any way except once when we tried to escape. The bandits said they would will us if we tried again.
 "They also threatened to kill us ii the ransom was unpaid
 Lieutenant Davis story differed from that of Lieutenant Petersen only in few minor details. Lieuten' ant Davis added the fact that the plane fell near a bridge over the river. The place afterwards was located near Falmoir, Chihuahua.

Last Tuesday night, about $500 worth of hay burned, and thls was followed Friday night by the burning of the house in which Hilliard lived.
 Fear Evil Power.
 Suspicion long attached to the might prowler," as the McEachern woman IS termed by many nelghbors, who seemed to fear her influence or evil power. Inability to obtain eVl, dence against her, however, stayed the hands of the officials. Deter mine to detect the incendiary, Sher- if c. M. Nichol offered reward of $100, but before this could stimulate efforts of amateur detectives, Deputy McBurnett had located man who will testify he saw the Might Prov Ter" enter the Hilliard home thru a window, and that shortly afterWard the house was. m flames.
 Neighbors have told MT. McBur- nett that the Night Prowler" ire quently went about at night in male attire, carrying a Winchester, and Hilliard says a few nights before his arrest, he was aroused by volce, ln- quiring the way to the Deeter place. When he gave the distance as six miles, the voice said Come out here, want to see you" Hilliard respond ed "I don't play that way," and kept within. He says later he crept to a window, and in the moonlight was able to identify Sadie, in mems cloth ing, and with a rifle. He shadowed her, and she went to her home.
 Sadie denies the arson charge, but persists in claiming ownership of the Futile place, and declares that in this she is supported by President Wilson, who she says, "Sent me blanks for me to fill out so 1 can get my place back"
 In the meantime, Sadie's lawyer is busy endeavoring to obtain her re- lease on bond.
