Barber, shrunken and haggard to- day as a result of three weeks of con- finement and hardships among the bandits, told the story of his escape to a friend.

Barber and Pedro rushed to the cornfleld_and jumped on the horse's bare back. As they spurred him on, shots rang out from the other handits. The captives were pursued, but were not_ wounded. The horse blundered and stumbled. Then the riders discovered that he was blind. For scveral hours_thes rode him, until he was spent. When the horse tumbled into a favine and died they continv-d their way afoot. Barber was sufferfng from an in- jured eye received previously when thrown frem a horse while being moved from one camp of the bandits to another. The fleeing men ran most of the night. Sometimes when ex haustion overwhelmed them they stopped for breath. At daylight Sunday they reached a little Indian village. They were treated kindly, and, after rest, started afoot again for Cuern . They arrived there Sunday afternoon and’ tried to_telephone Mexicq City, but failed. Then Barber and Pedro got an automobile and completed their trip, arriving in Mexico City Sunday night. > Barber Under Treatment. Barber may not be able to leave his bed for at lenst a week. He probably will require medical attention much longer. He sustained an abdomin injury while the bandits were taking him as prisoner from one part of the mountains to another, and was forced to continue riding and tramping de: spite his injury. All who have seen Mrs. (the former Esther Shepherd of Whit- tier, Calif.) since her husband's return are filled with admiration for her com- posure. Asked about her husband's future plans, she said that when he gets well and strong again they will remain in Mexico, return to the United States or go elsewhere, just as he desires. . She is calm and unexcited, and has recelved officlal visitors, correspond- ents and friends, attended her baby and superviged the care of her hus- band. The baby was born shortly before her husband was kidnaped. TREASURY 70 MOVE CANCELED BONDS | | Rarber | 1,500 Ton-s of Old Securities | Will Be Taken to Audi- tors’ Building.
