LAST EDITION TERR OR IN MEXICO Soldiers are Now on the Warpath Against Outrages Were Unche So Federal Govern " Americans Armed Themselves. ' ' Torreon, Mexico, Oct. 31.--The ror which has reigned for a fortnight a ter- or more in the mining camps of Inde, all along the American border, as a result of the continued lawless attacks of bandits on the camps dnd haciendas there, has been brought to a climax by the mur der of two Mexican miners. The Mexican government, aroused by the repeated protests of influential citizens and the official action of the American ambassador, has decided to act with all the force at its command, and has called out several companies of the soldiers to run down the ban- dits. That the punishment of any who are caught will be summary is indica ted by the statements of the authori ties, The lawless element has been grow- ing more and more bold for a month or more, and the authorities have been apparently unable to control it. Both the e¢ivil authorities and the gendarmes have been active for several weeks, but robbery after robbery and murder alter murder have been committed and few arrests have been made. As to 'the ringleader of the ontlawry there is not a suspicion pointing to anyone, unless it is to a certain noted desperado and bandit known as "El Chapo Anselmo," who is believed to be in the district. He is one of the last of many who have operated in the mining regions of Mexico for years, most of his followers having been kill ed or imprisoned, The last one to go was a notorious robber who was kill- ed near this city about three months ago by his own followers, whom he had cheated out of their share of the spoils and who waylaid him. El Chapo is known to be in the vicinity of Inde and the Ruraies are after him. Six murders have occurred within a fortnight that have attracted the attention coven of the federal au thorities, and one of them cansed the American ambassador to protest. The government, as a result, order- od the Rurales into the field, and even since they took up the work threo state of Durango, and CANNON FOUND IN RIVER Recover Old Engine of War.

This was the fourth death in this camp. The first was that of Barney | Towns, a well-known American ma- | chinist. Evidence led: to the opinion that Towns was killed in the most! cold-blooded manner and robbed. Suss picion fell upon a man whose bag- gage Towns had taken charge of and | whom he had fed on the road to | Santa Barbara. Chihuabua, but this wag not proved. | Other murders followed and the au-| thorities began looking for a new clue. | A few days later Francisco Arriola, of Durango, was killed by an unknown | assassin. And now comes the report | that Senor Cruz Gandariila, a well known of that locality, has | been found murdered. Suspicion rested on El Chapo Ansel mo, the desperado. Ansehno was cap tured recently, but his escape from the authorities and still finues to terrorize the inhabitants of Inde. The government has offered a large reward for his capture or that of the other bandits who infest that por tion.sf the state of Durango. When Towns, the American, was kill d, the authorities ascertained from the appearance of the body that he vas shot while asleep. Only shot was fired, and that was through the head. A rope was then tied about the neck and the body was dragged into | the bushes a short distance from the! road and left there. It remained there | for several days before being discover { ed. Towns had evidently been robbed bv the assassins, and the same was | apparent with the other bodies found.

The safety of the party dur- ing the time taken to refloat the Minota was more due, however, to Mr. Caulfield, one of the few mission- aries in the Pacific who have influence over the natives of Malaita. Mr. Caulfield induced the mission boys to form a bodyguard for the protection of the Minota's passengers and crew.
