'POSSE CAPTURES
FOUR AUTO THIEVES
1 .
Banning Fight Between Party
of Citizens and Hen in
Stolen Oar.
i NOW IN THE COUNTY JAIL
Four automobile thieves are lodged
in the county jail at the result of a
running fight between a posse of citi
zens, led by Special Deputy bheritt
Chris Christensen of Elk City, near
Waterloo Tuesday. Both cars have
been recovered, the one belonging to
W. M. Devitt, a member of the Oma
ha Automobile club having been aban
doned near Fremont.
A farmer1 near Fremont saw four
men in a car riding past his farm and
acting strangely. He suspected some
thing was wrong and telephoned to
Waterloo. Elk Citv and' Fremont for
the authorities to investigate. Sheriff
Christensen organized a posse and
went after, the men in automobiles.
When the posse approached them the
four men in the car abandoned it and
took to their heels across country,
with crowd after them.
Three Are Captured.
I Three of them were captured after
a running fight, but the fourth had
disappeared and the three captives
taunted the posse with their inability
to get "such a slick guy." They said
the fourth man was too smooth" to
get caught and for some time it look
ed aa though they were right The
fiosse beat the hills to no avail for
our hours. Finally the man, who
later gave his name as Henry Bogue,
was discovered by accident in a anal
low pond full of brush and weeds,
with only the tip of his nose showing.
His discovery came when one of the
searching party happened to step di
rectly upon the hiding man.
The way in which Bogue's confed
erates, John Evans, Ed Mulford and
Phillip Silkert, refened to him as the
"slick guy," and similar terms gives
the officers hopes that they have
caught the man who left a note in
the coil box of a recovered automo
bile, taunting the police with their in
ability to catch him. An Investigation
as to his antecedents is being made
and it ia hoped that he will be iden
tified as the "city slicker" who would
"never get in."

ernment to reach a pacific and sat
isfactory arrangement of present dif
ficulties. This government is anx
ious to solve the present conflict and
it woud be unjust if its attitude were
misinterpreted. -
'"It was also the Mexican govern
ment that earnestly suggested a plan
for cantonments along the boundary
line during the conference of Ciudad
Juarex and El Paso. This govern
ment is disposed now, as it has always
been, to seek an immediate solution
of .the two points which constitute
the true cause of the conflict between
the two countries, towit: The Amer
. ican government thinks reasonably
that the insecurity of its frontier is
a source of difficulty and the Mexi
can government on its part believes
. that the stay of American troops on
' Mexican territory aside from being a
trespass on the sovereignty of Mexico
is the immediate cause of the con
flicts. Therefore, the withdrawal of
Americans troops on one hand and
the protection of the frontier on the
other are the two essential problems,
the solution of which must be the di
recting object of the effort of both
governments. .
' Negotiation or Mediation. -
" 'The Mexican governmnet Is will
ing to consider in a quick and prac
tical -way and prompted by a apirit
of concord the remedies which should
be applied to the present situation.
"Several Latin American countries
have offered their friendly mediation
to the Mexican government and the
latter haa accepted it in principle.
Therefore1 the Mexican government
only awaits information that the gov
ernment of the United States would
- be disposed to accept this mediation
. for the purpose mentioned above or
whether it is still of the belief that
the same results may be attained by
means of direct negotiations between
both governments. . - i
"In the meantime this government
proposes to employ all efforts that
may be at its disposal to avoid the re
currence of new incidents which may
complicate and aggravate the situa
tion. At the same time it hopes that
the American government on its part
may make use of all effort to pre-
