DESERT IS COMBED FOR HORSE THIEVES New Mexican “Journey of Death” Scoured by Posses After Bandit Orgy. By the Assoclated Press. JORNADO DEL MUERTO, N. Mex., November 23.—This desert region, which Spaniards centuries ago called “The Journey of Death,” was: being scoured by posses today for a band of horse thieves whigh sacked ranch houses of guns, ammunition, clothing and provi- sions during an orgy of banditry luung several days. The best horses wer! stolen from several ranches. In a nearly desolate area far from any towns and without communication except by messenger, the depredations of the band did not become known until yesterday. Posses, headed by three sher- iffs, who served their law enforcement apprenticeships when horse and cattle rustling was a profitable occupation on the Southwestern frontier, took up the hunt at once. All crossings of the Rio Grande were under guard, while the entire white sands district was being combed. There is no water in the Desert Jor- nado del Muerto, which fact explains its naming by ancient Do:i: who avolded the region in their far-distant travels from Mexico to Santa Fe, N. Mex. ‘The posses are headed by Sheriffs Lon Danley of Otero County, Ed Harris of Lincoln County and Felipe Lucero of Dona Ana County, three of the oldest peace officers in the Southwest, o Sienkiewicz on Stamps. Henry Sienkiewicz, auhor of “Quo Vadis,” has been honored by Poland in a new stamp, which bears his portrait. The stamp’s face value is 15 groszy, but European collectors are willing to pay more for it. Sienkiewicz was also fa- mous _for his other works, and he re- ceived the Nobel prize. He died in 1916.
