bandits Armed With Corncobs.

Our correspondent In Villa Hermosa
communicated to us the capture Of
some inventive individuals, who, hav-
ing passed themselves off as rebels,
devoted themselves to robbing and at
lacking small towns. ut was aston
lshing that the captured men carried
arms that were a crude imitation
of 5000 rifles made of worthless
wood; in their cartridge belts they
were wearing corncobs instead of
deadly bullets. For some time they
fooled many and gained much booty.
At last their protector, Gestas, slept
and they were taken prisoners."-El
Universal, City of Mexico.

needs. This statement is made by the
chief of the bureau of plant industry,
