BLOODTHIRSTY BANDITS RULED BY'ROBIN HOOD' American Mining Engineer Loses 40 Pounds While Mexicans’ Prisoner. Pn Unit'd Pres• EL PASO. April 16 —J. E. Bristow. San Angelo (Tex.) oil man who went to Mexico to “find gold* and discovered anew means of reducing weight." today looked back upon his harrowing experiences with a Mexican bandit's gang as an adventure worthy of the best fiction story he ever had read. * Between huge chews of tobacco, the strapping 60-vear-old Texan late Tuesday related the story of his kidnaping and month's captivity by Cruz Delgado, whom he described as a twentieth century Robin Hood and his blood-thirsty, drunken outlaws. Bristow believes the bandits planned weeks in advance to kidnap him. He said hp recalled observing Cruz Delgado in the Plaza at Santa Maria Del Oro before he left for the mountains with his party of fifteen. Countless Hardships A few days before he said four eristeros 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 bandits, armed with Colts. They released every one except Bristow, Carlos Fields, a French interpreter, and two Indians. Although knowing he could not raise the money. Britow dispatched Fields to get 10,000 pesos to obtain his release. During his captivity in the bandits’ mountain stronghold, Bristow suffered countless privations and hardships. Except on the night his son, Gordon Obie Bristow, former University of Oklahoma football star, paid 3,000 pesos ransom for his release, when his captors treated him to a wild turkey dinner and rare Mexican liquors. The mining engineer said his meals were sparse, causing him to lose forty pounds in weight. Handled Roughly by Bandits Although handled roughly by some of the bandits, who at times threatened to kill him, Bristow said Delgado treated him as a guest, even permitting him to handle loaded guns on his promise that he would not attempt to escape. "Crux Delgado would make a typical Baptist church deacon, if he had a little education,” said Bristow. "He is a teetotaler, although permitting his men to drink to their hearts’ content. He Isn’t Interested in women and smokes only rarely.** Because he is popular with the poor, beloved and at the same time feared by his own followers, ; Bristow described Delgado as a modern Robin Hood. "Delgado and his men are CrLsteros and crossed themselves ever}' morning on rising. They had a written constitution and bylaws and produced Die document once during an argument.” "Only once did I think of trying to escape. That was one moonlight night when I saw federal soldiers silhouetted against the sky 300 yards from our camp in the old volcano.” Gas Station Is Robbed While a companion watched outside, two gunmen entered a Sinclair Refining Company filling station at Kentucky avenue and South street Tuesday night, held up ‘James Rutledge, 621 East Thirteenth street. attendant, and escaped with $22.

Blooey!

MARCH winds blew .hree gayly dressed rypsy women into the W. E. Sargent Barber Supply Company office, 622 Massachusetts avenue, March 30. One of the gypsy women blew on to a tin box containing the company funds to "bless” the money. * Company officials said the gypsy women “blew” out the door and that $35 “blew away” at the same time. In municipal court Tuesday Judge Clifton R. Cameron told Lena George, 30. Mary Poolah, 25. and Katherine Poolah, 25, all residing at 507 West Washington street, to “blow” Indianapolis, after Patrolman Orville Hudson testified the wind blew the three into his arms outside the office. The George woman, charged with grand larceny, agreed to repay the $35 and took up a collection among forty gypsies filling the court with colorful dress, to meet the payment.
