BANDITS

CAPTURED MAXIMO CASTILUC AND BAND. WHO KILLED AMERICANS. ARE CAUGHT AT GAFALIN RANCH. EMELiO GARCIA TELLS STORY Nine Citizens of United States Die When Train Plunget Into Tunnel Set Afire by Bandits Forty Mexicans Perish. Pearson, Chihuahua. Mex.. Feb. 12. Maximo Castillo and his band were captured at (Jabalin ranch by a detachment of soldiers under command of Major Samanlego, who tame up from Kl Valley, according to a report brought by a courier here on Tuesday. The whole band will be hi ought to Casas (Jrandes, it is stated. General Castillo was previously reported to be hiding in the vicinity of the ranch, and constitutionalist soldiers from Madera, Pearson. Casas Grandes and Kl Valley have been pursuing him. EttUftO Garcia, chief lieutenant of Maximo Castillo, was captured near Hachlto on Tuesday and turned over to the Cnitrd States army authorities on the border there. Garcia, it is alleged, confessed his part in the plot to burn the train. Cumbre, Chihuahua, Feb. 10. Many ( barred bones and several metal buttons and buckles from clothing were the only traces discovered of the bodies of the 40 passengers and crew of the train wrecked in the Cumbre tunnel of the Mexico & Northwestern railway Wednesday night. A rescue party equipped with oxygen helmets to guard them against the effects of the smoke and fumes of the still smoldering wreckage made their way from the south portal of the tunnel, oer the wreckage of the burned freight train to the locomotive and forward cars of the passenger train on Sunday. Nothing remained of the cars but the metal frames and trucks, and it is believed that the bodies of the imprisoned passengers must have been completely destroyed by the intense heat. The rew of the freight train escaped and placed the blame on Castillo's bandits. Juarez, Feb. 10. Nine American and 40 or more Mexicans, whose fate has been a mystery siuce the burning of the Cumbre tunnel by bandits, were BUffocatad. The tragedy is ascribed to Maximo Castillo, bandit leader. A special train carrying 20 Americans, led by W. J. Farragut, 50 coffins and a rescue outfit left Juarez for the scene. The rescue train was prepared early in the evening, but was delayed a short time by a telegram from Secretary of State Bryan, who instructed Consul Edwards to see that a soldier guard preceded it so that the Americans aboard might be protected from possible attack by Castillo. General Benavides provided 300 rebel troops and these were sent ahead of the rescue party on another train. The exact number of persons aboard the passenger train is not known. First reports put the number at 35, but a request for 75 coffins was made by a searching party led by Dr. F. C. Herr of Madera. Railroad men are furious at Castillo's act. Tuesday 22 of his men were captured and executed by rebels. The next day, apparently in revenge, he captured a freight train, ran it into the south end of the tunnel about 300 feet and set it on fire, but gave railway men no warning. The passenger train, whose crew was ignorant of danger, entered the death trap from the north while the tunnel was burning. When the engineer discovered the trap it w as too late to save his train or passengers. The missing Americans, all employes of the railroad, were: IL J. Gilmartin. superintendent of the Chi huahua division: B. Schofield. superintendent of terminals at Juarez; Iee Williams, assistant manager of commissary: H. F. Marders, express agent: E. J. McCutcheon, engineer; J. E. Webster, conductor; Edward Morris, roadmaster: Thomas Kelly, conductor, and James Burgess.

A Hrahmaa directed the rites and once, as the flames mounted and aspired, the brother, who was wut hip.g, clutched at his heart as there appeared for a moment at the top of the pyre a girl's face, ith closed eyes and mouth that seemed to smile; then UM radiant veil of flame shrouded It aain. The smoke rose in gray whorls and streamers against the stainless and tender blue of the sky, and still the brother watched, quiet again and composed; he had glvn only that one sign to show that he loved her whose ashes now lay among the charred and smoldering logs. Or rather it was only for the moment that, thinking of days of childhood and dawns by the riverside, he forgot that it was not she who had i)n consumed in the flames of the pyr. Then he remembered again, and looking up from the pyre to the dazzling river he saw there on our boat hla friend, the Brahman, and sm;d to him. Not Quiet. "So you live on Long Island.
