sation, large or small, silent or loud
occurs in Mexico.
The great trouble is that most Of
them are Of such a nature that even o
live newspaper has to fight shy Of
them. The one we are about to chron-
icle now is public property and We
feel no hesitancy in saying what we
know and think about it.
A few months since George Reed
and wife Ono relation to the Reeds OF
this city, came to Mexico from Wells
vile, Mo-, and took charge Of the
Commercial Hotel. Everything went
smoothly at the hotel until about one
month since, when Geo. Reed left,
as he said, to attend to some business.
He left his wife in charge Of the ho-
tel and some debts in charge Of our
merchants-at least so we are inform
ed After he left his wife seemed to
be in much trouble. She said she
had not heard from her|hdsband and
did not know who're he was. She APP
peared, at least willie ID tears, to be
a perfect lady. The bympathies Of
the boarders, especiaAyof CUP friends,
Prof. Wertz and Van y. Gfoff. two
very clever and gentkma1ly young
men, were enlisted. They thought
she had been badly treated by her
husband and did all they could to
help her in the management Of the
hotel. They had much respect for
her and treated her as they would
want any one to treat their sister.
During this time no word came from
Reed. The boarders Gall except
Wertz and Groff) and the neighbors
Thought they saw a growing intimacy
between Bernard, the wire fence man,
and the landIady, Matte Reed. Al
time passed on Bernard ana Matte
became more friendly-as brother ani
sister, for ought we know. Last week
a slate man named F. Froelenburg
came to the hotel. Then Matte haf

night. Before she left che sold GU

of the hotel and is running a FIRST
class house. Before Matte left sh'
asked the advice of friends whethe
, she should leave with Bro. Bernar,
or Bro. Froelenburg. She said Bro
F. had the most money, and whel
told to go with the man that had tn
, most money, she did not stop to ii
her shoes but told him she was read,
, to skip. There appears to b
several jokes on several parties
!. There is a joke on Wertz and Grot
who really thought Matte had bee
badly treated and acted in a brotherl'
manner. There is q joke on Bernar,
. who got left, if he wanted to skip on
;, with her as she said he did. There i

will not find her when he comes back
, There is a joke on the merchants VIII

: joke on the reporter of this paper be

Everything at the hotel is Cow NOV

brothers know them no more forever
The few facts Of the many we hav
given were CLEANED from parties VIII

one intentionally. In fact we hav
