n $500 reward for the capture OF the
slayer. The border war famed again
when news was received of his death
at the hands of bootlcggers and

the slayer 10 justice.
The reward Of $500 that the citizens
Of Del Rio have offered. will induce
the officials in Mexico TO take an ac-
tive interest in the search for the
fugitive.
Not From San Antonio.
1t is not believed that the slayer OF
Inspector Wallen is member OF any
gang of bootleggcrs that operate be-
tween the border and San Antonio.
The federal officers believe, it is re
ported. that if the fugitive whom they
seek did not fire the fatal shot, that, at
least, he was with the gang from
which the shot was fired.
No branch of the government SER
vice has manifested apathy in the re-
newed warfare against the dangerous
rum runners that infest the border. In
addition to the 81 mounted customs
inspectors under the charge of Capt.
Charles Stevens, supervisor of mounted
customs inspectors. every federal Of
fetal in all branches of government
