Captain Hughes of troop D state
rangers came up from Ysleta. He says
after the last train hold up down the
road the rangers were unable to reach
the scene before dark of the following
day and they had to wait until the
next morning before setting out. This
gave the robbers thirty hours to start
and notwithstanding tbe rangers had
good horses the interval was too great.
However but for the penuriousness of
the legislature in not suitably provid-
ing for the ranger service Captain
Hughes would have had men stationed
along the line at Marathon for in-
stance and then the robbers would
have been caught up with. Captain
Hughes thinks tbe adventurous gen-
tlemen must have gone off in the air
