The very mention of their names strikes the residents of the barrios aj the.fot of the mountains with fear and the Philippine constabulary with rage. The band has defied authorities for years, and hits killed when capture seemed to threaten. , Because the townsfolk'are afraid to give Information concerning the outlaws, and because the Negritos, aborigines -inhabiting the mountains, warn them of the approach of authorities, they have been able to escape constant efforts of the constabulary to apprehend them. The exact number of Negritos In th»» mountains stretching along the backhone of Tayabas province is not known, but they are from several hundred to a thousand or more. They hunt with arrows and spears, and wjander from place to place^ They have little contact with the Filipinos in the lowlands, although they occasionally trade In. to^:ns. for a few necessities. Klth^ through fear, friendship or both, fhe Negritos have proved the chief source of security fur the bandits. . ^ • / ^ The'fallowing article, appeared in The Chicago Daily News Wednesday, Feb. 24: / f The estate of Dr. William Henry Burmeister, former coroner's physician, will exceed $200,000, it was indicated by an inventory filed wittt Mitchell C.
