SIERRA CARMEN, CoAH UILA, Mexico
June 1.-[Editor HERALD. I'm your
issue of the 9th ultimo I notice an article
relating to the denouncing Of
some silver mines in this dislcict,
In which Mr.. r. N. Nc
Cracken is done much injustice. ("De-
nouncing" is going before a judge in
whose district mines may be discovered,
and having placed on record your dis
coveries, after which you can proceed
to expl ore and develop the property.
The article in question stated that Mr..
McCracken, accompanied by Mr..
Robinson, visited this mining district
on an exploring. expedition, and that
they made valuable discoveries in silver
son the slip and started for Santa Rosa
to state that was at the mines at that
time and that 1 am knowing to the fact
that McCracken and Robinson did not
visit this place together, neither had
they met each other at that time; l would
also state that made the trip from here
to Santa Rosa at that time In COM
pany with Mr.. Robinson, and that Mr..
McCracken was still in the camp when
we left;. also the statement that Mr..
Robinson made the journey on horse
back changing horses different times,
was not the case. Mr.. Robinson made
the trip in two horse wagon, making
no change of teams during the trip.
In Justice to Mr.. McCracken / send
this, asking its publication.

CASUALTIES,
Storm Sufferers In Iowa.


MASON CITY, Iowa June l6.-The
house and barns of Matthew Reddy
several miles from here, in the coun-
try were carried away in storm Sun
| day night and the family had fearful
experience. There are hardly boards
enough left about tho homestead to
build fire. Not bit of furniture nor
stitch of clothing can be found. The
wreck is complete. Reddy himself was
hurled into a field. When the house
went to pieces Reddy was left in sitting
position on the ground. On looking
around he saw by a flash of Lightning,
his brother stretched dead some yards
away. He picked him up and carried
him into an underground milk house.
He then commenced to search for his
wife and found her in her night clothes,
some ten rods from the house,
in corn field. She was also carried TO
the milk house. He next looked for his
5-year old boy, searching by the light
OF electric flashes, and at last discovered
the infant 80 rods from where the house
had stood. The boy was almost driven
into the mud. When all were gathered
into the milk house their injuries were
discovered to be severe and the mother
and child will hardly live. The brother
had both ears split, his head gashed and
shoulder cut and bruised. The wife
had three gashes on her forehead, one
on her nose, big cut in the back,
bruises on her legs and injuries inter
nally. All three were beaten black and
blue all over their bodies bv hail,
