A High-handed Outrage.

LAREDO, June IL Especial. Late on
the evening of the 18th the north bound
mixed train on the Mexican National rail-
way in charge Of Conductor Forbes, ran
over and killed a young Mexican named
Sanchez about seven miles north OF
Bushtamente, Mexico. 1t seems the Mexi.
can was trying to steal ride and fell be.
tween the cars and was run over. The
train men knew nothing of it at the time.
That night as the south-bound train passed
the place where the unfortunate young
man was killed, they struck. as the en-,
gineer thought, two calves. The train was
stopped and the crew went to the back to
investigate, when they found a
bundle of blankets and clothes,
and little further back the
dead body OF Sanchez with the top of his
head cut Off where the wheels crossed over
1t was perfectly cold and had the ap.
pearance of having been dead several
hours. The train men placed the body
in box-car, carried it to Bustamente,
made report, were arrested and lodged in
famed until the crew had an ex.
animation, when they were allowed
to go. Great excitement prevailed,
the armed mob of Mexcans gathered and
threats were made OF shooting Conductor
Forbes, who was due down and was to stop
off for examination. Forbes and crew
hearing OF the excitement, very SEN
sby turned the train over to
another crew al Lsmpasas and re-
turned to the United States as fast as steam
would bring them although the authorities
at New Laredo, Mexico, had been notified to
prevent their crossing the river. When Com

reached Bustamente, it was side tracked
and the crew put in Jail as accessory to
Forbes crew in their escape, where
Of them were within 100 miles of
the place where the accident occurred
Great fears are entertained that the Mex
cans will do them bodily harm. General
Trevino, attorney for the Mexican National
road, is at Bestamente, and the company will
do all in their power to protect their EN-
plOyes, but little it will be, as no influence
can be brought to bear on the excited Mex

ing in Mexico against Americans
generally, and this feeling is intensified
by the excitement, the leaders saying II the
railroad men are to kill Mexicsns, they
would take hand at killing too. The al.
calde at Bustamene is pre.emptory In juris.
diction. Being looked up by this bowling
mob Of excited Mexicans, who are bent on
mischief, the Americans have no protec.
ton from their own government in
Mexico. and the Mexicans know 1t
and take advantage Of it.. Great indigna.
ton prevails here and everybody is excited
along the line of the Mexican National
railroad in Mexico over this most infamous
outrage to American citizens.
LATER-Information has been received
that Mr.. Baldwin, master of transportation
OF this road, who went to Bastoeveole to
look into the interest Of the company, has
been arrested and placed in jail.

Suicide.
Statesman.

A man who was registered at the
Central Hotel as James Adams, Dut
who on other occasions gave his name
as Frank Wilson. aud at other times
as j. w. Mitchell, committed suicide
in this city on Sunday last, under the
following circumstances: SUNDAY
morning while at breakfast at the Cen
trail, he attempted to pour laudaDum
into his coffee, but was prevented ny
parties in the dining room. lie alter
wards went to Nye's drug store, where
he bought some strychnine, which ne
was induced in some way to return,
and was given back the money he had
paid Tor it. He then went to Wright's
drug store, where lie bought twenty
five grains of strychnine, which ne
took to some retired place and swaI-
lowed. DR.. Dubois saw man from
his Office crossing the street, and be-
ing attracted by his strange move.
ments went to him, when the man told
the Doctor that he had taken strych-
nine and wished to die. DR.. Dubois
induced him to go with him to Wright's
where strong emetic was administer
ed, but without effect. While the DR..
was preparing another emetic, the
man suddenly threw up his hands,
went into spasms and died. A few
days before the man had been brought
before Judge Randall on a charge OF
drunkenness and disorderly conduct,
when he gave his name as j. w. Nit
chell. Very little was known of the
man here. The matter was referred
to Judge Randall, acting coroner, who
called jury, and the following facts
we're elected. That the name of the
man could not be ascertained; that his
age was about thirty-fve years, and
that he came to his death by taking
strychnine with suicidal intent. No
effects of any value were found on his
person. From some scraps of memo
randa found in his pocket, it was made
out that he was lately from Evanston,
in Wyoming Territory. This is ano
Their sad instance in which the laxity
of our laws makes itself manifest
Parties contemplating suicide cannot
be too severely blamed for the man
ner. in which they abuse the extreme
facility of obtaining deadly poisohs at
the drug stores. The law should pre-
scribe some fearful penalty for these
intending shutters off of this mo, tai
coil, and some very strict regulations
for their observance, which would
cause them to hesitate and think twice
before they go to buying strychnine
here or there as if it was common
article of food.

The system of peonage still exists IN
Mexico. In case of debt the debtors
personal services, or wages earned
from another employer, belong to
his creditors until the debt is paid ;
but it has been modified of late years,
50 that it does not apply TO debts over
$40. If a man trusts another more
than that amount, he does so at his
own peril if he has no property. He
can command his services up to $40
worth, but no farther. The old life
servitude is thus done away with to a
great extent, although many OF the
lower classes manage to keep perpet-
ually in debt, and, consequently, prac-
tically slaves. The law, whether it be
good or bad, is executed in Mexico.
