BRSTON CREDTS MEGAN FFCERS 0il Man Declares They Saved His Life While in Hands of Banuaits. By the Associated Press. NOGALES, Ariz, April 15.—Return- ing to the United States today, J. D. Bristow, San Angelo, Tex., oil and mining man, credited Mexican army officers with saving his life while he was in the hands of bandits in the mountains of Nayarit for more than a month. Bristow explained that while he was held captive the Mexican army men did some “kidnaping” also, taking into custody the father and another rela- tive of Cruz Delgado, the bandit chief, and holding them as hostages for the safe release of the American. “I think that saved my life,” sald the Texan. Gen. Pablo Rodriguez, commander of the federal troops in Nayarit, and Col. effected the capture of Del- gado’s relatives. Bristow said that Gen. Rodriguez, E. W. Eaton, United States vice con- sul at Mazatlan, and German Consul Eugene Hildebrandt, at Tepic, did leveryth.m( possible to obtain his re- ease. Gordon Oble Bristow, former Uni- wversity of Oklahoma foot ball star, who id ‘the bandits 3,000 pesos for his ?:ther'l freedom, accompanied the elder Bristow, who arrived here by train from Mazatlan. Determination of the Mexican au- thorities to wipe out the outlaws was evidenced by reports from Mazatlan that federal troops had killed eight men believed to have been members of the band that kidnaped Bristow and later attempted to attack a train on which he was traveling to Mazatlan.
