Mr. Pomposo Key arrived at his home at Guadalupe after having had a series of adventures that he will not forget. He refused to be interviewed by the Times representative, bat he had been telling his story to some of his friends and through them it was reached.

He had oome home through such hardships as may be imagined, traveling without horses or other equipment, and without arms or provisions through.that wild country. He admitted that he had never in his life felt quite so thoroughly tamed and dispirited as after having met the eye and the Winchester of the leader of that little band of revolutionists. The country in which the band is now operating lies along the river, almost uninhabited, but fall of cattle. Below, some fifty miles west of Ojinaga, is a colony on the Davis ranch containing some 200 or 300 men. It is undoubted -ly probable that re inforcements will join the revolutionists here, as the country men are always ready for adventure.

By the time Mr. Boyd and his party had reached Fort Hancock a messenger from Mr. Pomposo Key at Goadalape had arrived at Juarez to inform the collector of customs and the jefe politico. At once the chief of police started out and reached Guadalupe Sunday niaht. He left Juarez witn oue man, but when he reached Guadalupe he had been joined by about 20.

He gathered more re lnforcemeute there and moved on in pursuit of the gang It is not considered probable, though, that be will overtake them. J. 0. LACKLAND, Cashier. J.

Ktory of the Capture of Luis Acosta by Revolutionists. A MILITARY NECESSITY. 'Major" Ochoa and Hit Follower Declare They Will uotrob-A Military Neceltj Compel Them to Take Autmunitlou aud ProvUloui Complete Story of the Capture of J. 11. Bojd, Lulu Afcoata aud The meagre particulars published in Sunday's Times concerning the op-ture of Mr.

Luis Acosta and others by a band of revolutionists exoited no little surprise and much interest in the twin cities on the Rio Grande. In every party of men or womea it was discussed. There was muoh smiling at "General Oohoa," and bantering of the Times people abou1; "revolution." The Times was in a position to wait; but it was at work while it wait ed. And later developments and fuller details, which the Times has been able to secure by means of mails, wires aud couriers, are now at hand. It now appears that the capture and robbery of Mr, Acosta and his party was not a robbery in the common acceptance of that term.

On the other hand it was the by men believing they were esereisiog regularly constituted military authority. They took horses, provisions, auauni-tioa and men, but did not disturb a purse nr a bit of jewelry. They went through the formality of "pressing" these things and of paying for them in vouchers which are to be sent to a certain specified place on a stated date. This was all performed with such a solemnity as characterized the found ers of the American Kepubho more than a hundred years ago; the found ers of the Republic of Texas in later years, and the founders and organizers of the Kepublio or Mexico under its present leader not half so many years ago. There was no levit there was no bluster; there was no bulldozing; there was no violent language.

Uo the other band the leaders of the revolu tionists spoke good Spanish and some of them spoke good English, and all were polite. Mr. J. 11. Bcyd, the manager of the Coiretes rar.ch; Mr Lais Acosta of the firm of Ketelsen Degetau; and Mr.

Schugt, manager of Ketelsen Degetau's ranch, arvived from Fort Hancock yesterday, but they are all very dumb. They have nothing to say for publication. A reporter called to see Mr. Max Weber, manager for Ketelsen i Degetau, but he had nothing to eay for publication, but the Times has been able to get from its representative at Fort Hancock and couriers from Guadalupe a very full and authenticated account of the affair, which is about as fellows: Mr. Acosta, accompanied by Mr.

J. II. Boyd, of the Corretes ranch in Northwestern Chihuahua, weut into the country below Guadalupe for the purpose of looking at some bodies of cattle they were thinking of buying for shipment. They had completed their business and bad left Kaocno Barracho, going towards the river. They were now accompanied by Mr.

Pomposo Key, brother of the pres. idente of Guadalupe, and Mr. Sohugt and several mosos aud cow boys. The entile party wai moving merrily on when they were suddenly "held up" in a way that would make the heart of a modern highwayman pain with envy. It was done so quickly that no man in the party had time even to think of hi trusty revolver.

It is said that Mr. Schugt it a most facile artiste with Cult's forty five, but be held cp his hands with a meekness that made the revolutionists sal at the lack of tight.
