LEADER OF MEXICAN BANDITS
TERMED MODERN ROBIN HOOD

Ell PASO, Tex, April 16.-WP)-
j. f. Bristow, San Angelo, Texas,
oil man, who went to Mexico to
find gold and discovered new
means of reducing weight'' today
looked back upon his narrowing ex-
pcricnccs with a Mexican bandit
gang as an adventure worthy of the
best fiction story he mas ever read.
Between salubMiious chews of to-
bacco, the strapping 60-year-o1
Texan, slightly uncomfortable in a
pair of broken brown shoes, late
yesterday related to the United
Press his kidnapping and month IS
captivity by Cruz Delgado, whom
he describes as a twentieth century
Robin Hood, and his bloodthirsty,
drunken outlaws.
Bristow believed the bandits had
planned weeks in advance to kid
nap him. He said he recalled OBJ
serving Cruz Delgado in the plaza
at Santa Maria Del Orc before he
left for the mountains with his
party of 10. A few days before he
said four cristeros had attempted to
get work from him and asked his
plans.
On nearing the mountain region
in the state of Nayarit, the oil man
said his party was met by the ban
dts. They released everyone ex-
cept Bristow, Carlos Fields, a
French interpreter, and two mozos.
Although knowing lie could not

raise the money, Bristow dispatched
Fields to get 10000 pesos to obtain
his release.
Usually Hungry
During his captivity in the ban
dts mountain stronghold, Bristow
suffered countless privations and
hardships. Except on the night his
son, Gordon Obie El;s;ow, former
University of Oklahoma football
star, paid 5000 pesos ransom for his
feh ase, when his captors treated
him to wild turkey dinner and
rare Mexican liquors, the mining
engineer said his meals were sparse,
causing him to lose 40 pounds in
weight.
Although handled roughly by
some of the bandits, VINO at times
threatened to kill him, Bristow said
Delgado treated him as n guest,
even permitting him to handle
loaded guns on his promise that he
would not attempt to escape.

Because he is popular with the

YAQUI INDIANS
STAGE ANNUAL
EASTER RITES

BARRIO PASCUA, Ariz., April 16.
W.P)-The dancing braves of this
little Yaqui Indian village today
donned the grotesque m s k 8 and
strange costumes in which they will
sway through ancient tribal Easter
rites for the next five days.
The curious ceremony, in which
Christian teachings of the Spanish
padres lend sacred touch to age
CID superstition of the Redman, will
end in frenzied dance to the spirit
of happiness at Easter noontime.
The tom-toms began droning their
monotonous rythm at sunrise. All
night long many of the Yaqui braves
squatted around campfires complet-
ing their colorful costumes, while
the squaws rested for their ordeal
of pounding Indian drums.
The actual pageant, after day
and night of barbaric dancing to
the weird prayer-chating of women,
starts tomorrow when the faithful
march to the Garden of Gethsemane
This miniature replica of the gar
den will be destroyed at the end
of the Gethsemane rites, at which

The principal dances will be held
Friday morning, when hundreds of

LINDBERCHS TO
MAKE FAST TRIP
ACROSS COUNTRY
Colonel And Wife Plan To
Experiment In High
Attitudes
By WILLIAM e. CANNON
United Press Staff Correspondent

BURBANK, Calf, April 16. U.P)
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh will
hop off late this week on a trans
continental flight in which he will
make speed and altitude tests, he
announced here today.
The noted flyer spent several
hours checking his specially equip
ped Lockheed plane at the factory
field here in preparation for the
flight to New York.
His wife, Anne Morrow Lind
bergh, whom he taught to fly, will
relieve the Colonel at the controls
during the trip, he said.
The exact time Of departure was
not announced, but Colonel Lind
bergh said the trip probably will be
made over the week end.
Only one stop was on the couples
itinerary. The ship will be routined
and refueled at Wichita, Kansas,
after which it is planned to resume
the flight Immediately.
While speed is one Of the objects
of the flight, Colonel Lindbergh
said no attempt would be made to
establish new speed records.
The purpose of the trip is to
gather data on air lanes in the high
er attitudes, the Colonel said. This
information, obtained under flying
conditions, will form part Of the
foundation for more rapid and ef-
ficient trans continental air serv-
ice, he said.
The presence of National Aeron-
autics Association officials at the
take-off, Wichita, and at the finish
will make the flight official.
Sees Faster, Time
Colonel Lindbergh expressed the
opinion that existing time schedules
on sscountry air lines would be
cut in the near future. The reduc-
tion, he said, would result from ap-
plication of knowledge of air cur.
rents in the higher attitudes and
advantageous use of winds.
Because of lowered air resist
ance in the higher attitudes" he
said, "greater speed can be reached
provided motor power can be main
taincd."
Ordinarily, he pointed out, motor
power falls off proportionately in
the thin air above a 10000 altitude.
To insure sea-level power from
the motor at high attitudes, a super
charger has been installed on the
Lindbergh plane.
The ship is a two-seated, dual
controlled Lockheed with several
features aside from the super-charg-
er.
Hoods have been attached to the
fuselage so that cabin comfort can
be had by sliding panels or trans
parent shatter- proof material over
the open cockpits.
Another feature is an auxiliary
generator to furnish power for the
electrically heated suits the couple
will wear.
The garments, designed by DR.. B.
r. Charles, produce controlled
heat up to $50 degrees, bringing
comfort in the subzero tempera.

suit that she had found her husband
was not the worst person in the
world and that she was nursing the
bruises lie received when being
bound.
A few days after the reconcilia-
tlon, she charges in her second suit,
her husband came home drunk aa
companied by two women and an.
other man. He demanded she ac-
ompany the party to cabaret but
Mrs. Won Buelow refused. The
- COUNT hasn't been home since
then, she charges. She also charges
in the suit that her husband never
"orked and THAI she spent $25 900

1t was after the robbery that Won
Puelow, when questioned by police,
he was no count and that
