on the north loop road between El Paso

I knew where the thieves had their head-

' yesterday morning; In company with the
Mexican orricer the only one or the trio
who was armed so far as It Known. About
3 o'clock In the afternoon they arrived at
a Mexican but near toe village of San Lo-
renzo whose church roof on a clear day
can be seen from the mesa north or El
Paso. In this hut It was thought the
cattle rustlers were living.
When one or the Americans knocked at
the door after tying their horses nearby
four Mexicana appeared and demanded to
know their business. Before any reply
could be made eight other Mexicans with
revolvers and rifles In their grasp ap-
peared on the roof or the jacal. They
opened fire at once upon the unsuspecting
Americans and their companion. The
Mexican officer according to Lawrence
spun as though be had been struck
hw stern rail.
The two Americans without waiting to

they galloped away a storm of bullets fol-
lowed them. Two miles away wu the

ditch and be waa thrown to the ground
