Widely Known Bandit
Of Mexican Highway
Is Reported Captured

MEXICO CITY, July 10.-(P)-
Martin Guzman, who for years ter
rorized travellers on the road from
Mexico City to Puebla as head Of a
band Of highwaymen, has met death
while trying to escape after falling
into the hands Of a detachment Of
federal troops, according to a war
department announcement.
Guzman was captured alone, in
a village not far from Puebla, and
offered to take his captors to the
place where his followers were hid
den. Accordingly, he led them to a
lonely spot in the mountains and
into an ambush.
Taking advantage of the confu-
sion into which the unexpected at
tack had thrown his captors, Guz-
man fled and joined his men. But
the federals rallied and after a fight
lasting more than an hour succeeded
in dispensing the bandits.
Among several bodies abandoned
by the highwaymen was that OF

Fernandez versus Eleazer s. Gar
cha was taken under Amusement by

cav of the building.
