Three Men Executed.
Three alleged "rateros" trapped
with these men were executed in
the second patio Saturday morn
ing. Many could see them fall. All
heard the report of the rifles in
the hands Of the firing squad.
Whether they, too, were to be ex-
ecuted was to be decided by a mill
tary court.
Il think it best to take them to
Chihuahua City for trial" General
Martinez announced today.
Civilians were to be tried in the
federal court in JuareZ, he said.
Prisoners accused of participant
ing in plots or uprisings against the
government shall be tried within
seventy-two hours after capture,
under Mexican law.
Sergeant Is Tried.
In the meantime, the first for
mai court martial proceeding in
connection with the revolt began
early this morning. First Sergeant
Francisco Castro was the accused.
Several witnesses We're heard be-
fore noon. The sergeant was
charged with failure to perform his
duty. He was in command. of the
guard at the barracks when the
upriging occurred.
AT the same time witnesses were
being questioned in an effort to get
the inside story of the cause of the
I1nriGinp lnh Kyhxy rannr1G nf the
regiment were destroyed by fire.
Because the pay rolls and other pa
pers are missing, it has been i'm
possible so far to ascertain the ex-
act number of men involved in the
mutiny.
General Martinez said today that
it was believed only 100 men of the
forty-third regiment revolted.
Many werc on sick leave, some
were at their homes and others
were on leave" he explained. For
this reason it will be some time
before we know the number and
names of the missing men,"
50 Under Arrest.
Fifty-nine soldiers were under
arrest at headquarters late today
as the search for others still at
large was continued.
All officers of the regiment who
reported to military headquarters
are on duty. 1nrre officers were
missing. They were Captain Felici-
ano Valverde, leader Of the upris-
ing; Captain Jose Robes and Cap.

The great border game of hide
and-seek got under way early to-
day.
With their uniforms powdered
white with alkali dust and TN
faces streaked with perspiration,
hard riding troopers followed trails
of fleeing insurrectionists over tho
rough, scorching plains that start
at the edge of the city.
Reports that a band of revolu-
tionists were in the vicinity of the
Rio Grande, at least six miles down
the valley, were received at Z a. m.
by General Eugenio Martinez, COM
mander of the northern military
zone. He Immediately ordered so
soldiers to make investigation and
bring in the suspects.
Plans Are known.
Revolutionists on the American
side of the border had planned to
send an expedition into Chihuahua
southeast Of Juarez early Inis
morning, Mexican federal authori'
ties said the plans were known
The insurrectionists, well equipped
were to have crossed at a. m. But
the revolt of $50 men of the forty
third regiment in Juarez prompted
United States agents to move swift
ly to round up the alleged plotter:
in Ell Paso.
Mexican federal authorities de-
clared they believed the garrison
revolt and the plans of the Eel Pasc
revolutionists had no connection.
A party searching for rebels ir

which included Alderman Clements
Garcia, found three saddled horses
and a colt opposite the smelter

mander Of the forty-third regiment
said the saddles and horses were
his. One of the animals was
