Curious Experience With a Band f
Mexican Cutthroats.
Everybody In Mexico goes about arm
ed. Even tbe passenger trains on most
of tbe railroads are guarded by detach
ments of soldiers who ride In special
ears, while on everv station Platform
are seen rural guards armed wltb cara
bines ready for an emergency. For
eigners have to adapt themselves to
tbe custom of going about armed or
else make themselves unfavorably con
spicuous Iu tbe eyes of tbe natives.
It was a novel experience, however, to
see railroad surveyors, when occupied
with their peaceful work, armed to tbe
teeth with knives and revolvers. As a
matter of fact, arms were rarely re
quired In .Mexico as a means of de
fense. As everywhere else. It Is well
to remember, however, to keep cool
and forget that you are armed In case
of a (iii'irrel.
In this connection the principal locat
ing engineer of the road had an expe
rience at which he displayed some
nerve. He bad to make a reconnois
snnce of a mountain range called tbe
Sierra Gordn. said to be Infested -.rlth
cutthroats. Re was warned to let the
district alone, hut duty prevailed, and
he weDt. When reaching a rancho
near the summit at sundown be and
his attendant were met by four men
whose law breaking propensities re
quired no further Introduction than
their faces. They took bold of the
party's horses, told the engineer and
his attendant to dismount and made
no effort to conceal tbe fact that tbey
were there for business.
The engineer complied smilingly, and.
going up to the leader, mystified that
individual by asking him to step aside.
"I am told that It is unsafe to travel
In these mountains." he whispered,
"will yon not therefore oblige me by
taking care of my property and allow
as to remain under your roof until
morning." With that he banded over j
bis watch, money and other things. .
and the astonished thief, wbo was
probably for the first time in bis life
treated to the novelty of being trust
ed, not only let the engineer have the
best In his house, hut hauded him back
his property In the morning and fur
nished him with two cutthroats to
serve ss an escort during the rest of
his journey. Max T. Schmidt In En
gineering Magazine.
