ONLY HALF THK HANSOM PAID, j The Sum of $15,000.00 Was Demanded and Sent. A telegram Tuesday from Marfa, Texas, said: Lieutenants F. G. Peterson and Paul H. Davis, aviators of the United States army, held captive for more than a week by the Mexican bandits who demanded a ransom of were rescued early this morning by Captain Matlock, of the Eighth cavalry, and are safe in American territory. Captain Matlock brought back with him one-half of the ransom money. He said after Peterson had been released Davis was brought forward by the bandits and the two mounted Matlock's horse. The bandits demaned the remainder of the ransom money from Captain Matlock, and Davis answered by riding rapidly away. The aviators landed from the American side of the river. Lieutenant Peterson said. Upon their arrival at Candelaria a week ago Sunday their engine developed trouble and they were forced to land. The two aviators then tried to find their way to the nearest army camp and became confused. They walked . and swam down the Rio Grande duri ing Monday, Lieutenant Peterson said, and then hired Mexican burros after Peterson developed a fever. They had started for Candelaria when an armed Mexican overtook them and made them prisoners. They were unarmed. They were overtaken by a band of armed bandits. Lieutenant Peterson said, and a crowd of people from a little town. They continued on their forced journey until Friday night, when the bandits compelled the aviators to write messages demanding ransom and telling of the death threat. m m COCA-COLA COMPANY SOLD.

Senate Joins With House in Writing Finis to Bill Twice Vetoed. ' ' i Washington, Aug. 20.?Repeal of the daylight saving act was accomplished today, the senate voting to sustain the house in passing the measure over the president's veto. The vote was 57 to 19. The repeal of the law which now takes its place among the very few which have been passed over a presidential veto becomes effective after the clocks are turned back to normal in October. It will go down in legislative history as one of the very few measures which have twice been vetoed by a president and become a y law after all by the vote of more than two-thirds in both houses of congress. ? io> ?
