Enormous Ransom to be Asked—How
the Scheme was Prostrated.
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

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:

the train at another given point familiar
to the scout. 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,
