SAN BENITO, Tex, Sept. 2—*
A band of Mexican raiders set
fire to the railway bridge four
miles North of Brownsville last
night, and this morning a volley
of shots were exchanged between
a posse of citizens and a hand of
twenty-five Mexicans No one
was injured and the Mexicans re-
treated
A special train from Browns-
ville rushed to the scene of the
trouble with infantry and cav-
alry. A case of dynamite was
found near the bridge, and all
telephone wires on both sides of
the city had been cut by the Mex-
icans.
It is believed that the Mexicans
lntended to attack the city after
burning the bridge, and with re-
inforcements of other hands of
Mexicans, which are known to be
nearby, would have had the Amer
ican citizens cut off from rein-
forcements.
The soldiers are trailing the
bandits, and when overtaken a
battle will take place.
