CASUALTIES.
A Thrilling Story.

SAN ANTONIO, June 10. Especial. i
News reached here tonight that one
day this week, on farm near Flores
vile, Mrs. Hurting attempted suicide.
She is young woman OF considerable
attractions and social standing. Her
father and two brothers stand charged
vita murder, ana being of a religi Gus
turn ofmind, the disgrace prayed on her
feelings until she resolved on self-des-
truction. She walted until the family
had gone 70 town, leaving her alone on
the farm, then deliberately walked to q
dry well 100 feet deep and cast herself
IN. she struck the bottom and lay
stunned for some time, but finally
reused and began calling for help. She
was heard by parties near, who came to
the we'll and, on learning her condition,
started for q rope, which was procured
of sufficient length at a farm house five
miles distant. Returning, one party de-
scended and fastened the rope 20 the
now senseless woman, and the party
above began hosting away. She came
up 80 feet when the rope broke and she
again fell to the bottom, Another rope
was procured and she was hauled to the
top still breathing. Medical aid was
summoned and she is now rapidly re-
covering. She was in the well over six
hours, badly crushed and bleeding.

old son of the division superintendent
of the Sunset Road, between Sanderson
and Ell Paso, was setting on the stoop
in front of his fathers residence, some
one rode by and fired at him. The ball
grazed the boys forahead just over the
right eye, and CHANGING downward
pl0ughed furrow across the bridge OF
his nose. 1t is evident from all the cir
cumstances that the shooting was not
an accident.
Yesterday while fedora Soria, a
Mexican shepherd on Mr.. Harris john
sons ranch, on the Pecos, was out on
the range herding sheep he accidentally
shot himself with revolver which he
was twirling around in his hand. The
ball entered his breast, and, in ranging
obliquely, came out under the shoulder
blade. Soria was found on the prairie
by some of the employees of the ranch
and was brought into town.
Another accident is reported from
Hewlett Greneis' ranch. A Mexican
boy was running with all his might
when he was tripped up and fell heavily
to the ground. He had large dirk
knife in his boot and in falling. by some
means, the knife cut his leg nearly OIL

WASHINGTON, June S,--Pos5m2ster'
General Villas today denied that he had
sent dispatch to Chicago touching the
threatened strike among the railway
postal clerks, as has been stated in
Chicago. He say thai there
need bo no appreheu ion OF a strike
among railway service employees. 1t
was possible that few clerks vino felt
that from their ineflic ency they had no
chance of remaining IN the SER
vice, had ondoaylrsd 10 effect q

cient men, but they had failed In theic
attempt. The Official Postal Guide tor
May contains u notice over the. sigma
,ure of the postmaster general that eff
ficieDL and honest railway clerks,
who have not turned .nolr attention 10
political iabors during their service,
need have no fear OF being disturbed In
office. That declaration il regard t. the
postal clerks and their retention, said
the postmaster general, has never been
departed from in one single instance. l
believe one mistake was made, but
when discovered iG ! restored tho mao
to service. There have been very
considerable number Of removals made,
but think not less than threo-tou rtns,
or perhaps nine-tenths Of them were
made because of inefficiency, because
they were not good clerks, because they
