She told the committee of two girls who bad been clubbed to death and of two American women who were carried into the mountains of Sonora and there forced to remain by their captors who shaved the soles of their feet to the quick to make simpler the task of guarding them. American Girl Captured. An American girl from Nebraska, she said, now is somewhere in the hills, the captive of Mexicans who dragged her from her home near the Gulf coast. When the band appeared they roped her father and mother and when she, 16 years old, threw herself before the Mexicans, they declared they would kill her parents. She fainted and when revived she found herself alone in the hills with her assailants. . An English woman in the state of Zacatecas was more fortunate," according to Miss Laut. In this case Miss Laut said the woman shot the bandit who was struggling with her and then running forward fired first on one bandit and then another, killing both and thereby rescuing two daughters, one of whom each bandit held.
