Heavy rains have fallen at Kingman after
nearly three weeks or dry weather. This
whole county, as we'll as Pratt and Reno
counties, were visited with the best rain in a
year. Corn in the eastern half of this
by the drouth, but this rain insures an aver
age of about 80 per cent. of full crop for
the county. Wheat yielded over half a crop.
Oats are nearly full crop. The rain raised
the Minnesota river at this point nearly as
high as during the great floods of April, 1885.

Senior Mondrego, the chief of police of
Puedras Viegras, Mexico, made demand
upon the authorities of Eagle Pass, Texas,
for the body of Francisco Rasures, whom he
charged with being horse thief. Deputy
Sheriff Dias arrested Rasures and took him
before the county judge, who signed extradi-
ton papers without giving the accused a
hearing, and the deputy sheriff delivered
him to the Mexican authorities. Rasures is
a naturalized citizen, and he has appealed to
United States Consul Lynn for protection.
Consul Lynn has demanded the release Of
the prisoner and his return to Eagle Pass
for trial for the ofense alleged. Mondrego
reports that the case has been transferred to
the HIGHER courts, and that he could do
nothing. This is clear case of kidnapping,
at Washington aAd to Governor
Ireland, of Texas. News has been received
here that Rasures was taken two miles
below Puedras Viegras, and by order of the
Mexicans, was hung. It is positive that
trouble is brewing IN Mexico and that rev.
,lution is liable to break out at any moment.
