hospital at Bartlett. Both suffered
knife wounds about the throat and
face. The body Of W. o. wofford
Of Austin, Texas, whose throat was
cut by the Mexican. has been shipped
TO Austin for burial. His death was
almost instantaneous.
The Mexican suddenly and without
warning began to slash at fellow

he forced two fellow countrymen to
open the car door through which he
left the moving train.
After a chase of several miles he
was captured by farmers. Bloody
and dirty, the Mexican was landed
here.
