After eight days of suspense since the aviators, patrolling the border, dis-< appeared, messages were received by military authorities at Marfa, Tex., demanding payment of the ransom in gold to Dawkins Kilpatiidk of Candelaria, Tex., or the Americans would be killed, according to the message. Another message, signed by the aviators, accompanied the demand for the ransom. In "which they stated practically /the same facts as contained In the message from the bandit leader. They also sent messages to their relatives in Strathmore, Cal., and Hutchinson, Minn., urging them co see that the ransom was raised at once. Another message was later sent toi Candelaria, Tex., addressed to Dawkins Kilpatrick, an American, and signed by one of the bandit band, saying they would kill the aviators if there were any signs that the American military commanders were preparing to pursue the bandits. Replies were received from the parents of Lieutenant Peterson stating they would furnish the ransom if the government failed to put up the money, according to messages from Marfa.
