San Antonio, Texas, March 26.—"What might have been the most daring and sensational act of brigandage of the cen tury lias been defeated by the vigilance and good will of a Texan detective. The project was nothing less than a bold scheme on the part of a band of lawless Mexicans to capture Mr. Garrett and compel his friends to pay a princely ransom fi« liis release. Ever since tlie distinguished party left New York, over three weeks ago, dispatches have appear ed almost daily in all of the Mexican pa pers in which the progress of the trip was described. In connection with these dispatches Mr. Garrett’s wealth was fre quently commented on, many of the pa pers estimating the value of liis holdings as high as a hundred million of dollars. These reports came to the ears of the many outlaws and half-breed desperadoes who'infest the Mexican border, and they forthwith determined upon a plan to cap ture the party, which must pass one of their many haunts. Secret meetings were held, at which all of the details of the -capture were arranged. Runners were sent out to track the party to the border, so that there could be no mistake,, while large bands were delegated to posi tions along the lines of the various rail roads, as it was not definitely known which route Mr. Garrett would take. The plan of operations was to follow very closely the usual maimer of robbing trains. At a certain, station across the border, several of tlie frontiersmen were tfonr Years Oltl, AfHIrteil -with a Painful Sk n —j*ix Doe.iors Tried tiKCure Him; AM Fulled — CJot Worse :«i d Wmae —Com; I te y Cun il LvOrUi Set of Culiuum Item. .lies. p. sting Our little son will lie four years i f a:;e on tlie 25th inst.

A LARGE NUMBER OF PAPERS AND MANY THOUSAND WORDS, ALL OUT OF “EDUCATION. ” Miss Mary Ella Noble gets the Ban ner-Watchman’s complimentary ticket to Rhea’s performance tonight. Some time ago the B. W. offered a complimentary ticket to Rhea’s per formance to the person who sent us the largest number of words made from the letters contained in “education,’’ using each letter but once in the same word. From the very first letters contain ing answers have arrived daily, and the editor's desk and private drawer has bien flooded. Y^terday all the papers were turned over to a d eint* rested party to cx«m- iue anl decl e the remit of the worK. Each paper was taken up separately and all the vords studied. Some of the words were rather far fetched, a num ber of which were ruled out. As a whole however, the papers show that the subject has been thoroughly studied and all the contestants are to be con gratulatcd upon their efforts. It is simply impossible to begin to' publish all the parties -who have sent in papers, so we give below a list of the ones making the largest number of words: Miss Mary E.

Here the outlaws in wait ing were to rush into the cars, each man with his rifle cocked and ready for ac tion. The probability of resistance was not thought of, because the rascals knew’ their power in such dilemmas. Those of the party, as it suited the brigands to let free,'were to 1 ^ allowed to go about their business, w hile Mr. Garrett, and whoever remained with him, were to be taken to a cave in the mountains, -known only to the robbers, where they were to be held until the ran som asked for was paid. The amount of the ransom caused many heated discussions among the outlaw’s, as they could not agree upon the sum. After considerable argument the amount was finally fixed at an enormous amount, which w T as to be insisted on as long as there was the slightest chance i : success. The terms of ransom were to i^e sent to friends of Mr. Garrett, w r ho were to be warned that only square business would accomplish Mr. Garrett’s release. If they attempted any other plan of rescue than that proposed by those outlaw’s Mr. Garrett w’as to be held a captive indefi nitely, possibly until the department of state at Washington had arranged with the Mexican government to send troops to his rescue. It w’as a bold scheme, but Mexican brigands know no such word fear when they got their victims within the confines of their ow T n territory, and their nefarious scheme might have been accomplished had not one of the gang, in a drunken mqment, given an inkling of wdiat was to occur.
