twenty, a handsome and popular school
teacher, was brutually assaulted while
on her way home from school just after

lieved to be serious. She was first
struck with large stone on
the side of the head, and
then grabbed from behind and thrown to
the ground. She made bold fight for
over thirty minutes before she was over
come. She lay by the roadside uucon-
scious for about two hours, then dragged
herself to the home OF Henry Atwood
where DR.. Axtell and DR.. De Forest
were summoned. Her throat was gashed
as if with knife, her skull badly
bruised by the stone, her body
covered with bruises and her
clothing torn to shreds. After
regaining consciousness she could not
identify her asSailants, she said, but
after one Dan Webster, worthless fell

Special to the Gazette.
LAREDO, Tex, Feb. 2s.-For some
time past merchants on this side of the
Rio Grande have been endeavoring TO
bring influences to bear on the Mexican
government TO force them to abolish the
IONA libra, or free zone, which extends
along the river from its mouth to FL
Paso. and has breadth OF twenty miles
into the interior country tributary. AS
soon as the movement developed all oil
the border towns on the Mexican side
held meetings aud sent representatives
to the City of Mexico to confer with
President Diaz, TO prevent, II possible,
its adjustment
Yesterday LIE Amado Gonzales of
Nueva Laredo, returned from the Mex
lean capital. where he went as New La
redo's representative, and brings the
news that the Federal government as
sures the border merchants III Mexico
that the free zone shall not be abolished.
The cities of MstamOras, Camargo,
Guerrero, Mier, Nueva Laredo, Negrss
and Paso Del Norte were especially in
terested in the matter and brought the
influence of the frontier state of Tamau-
lipas, through it's congressman. Homer
A. Valasco, Coahuila, Nueva Leon aud
Chihuahua, through their respective gov
ernments, TO. bear on the Federal
government to prevent the move. The
intelligent Me xicans along the Mexican
border are bitter against Senator Rea-
gan OF Texas for introducing the bill
ia the United States senate recently
prohibiting the passage of goods in bond
for Mexico through the United States
territory, which they consider a retalia-
tory measure in consequence of the |
maintenance by the Mexican govern |
ment of the iona libra. This question |
may come up at some future day and be |
q stumbling block in the way Of mutual |
reciprocity treaty between the two re- |
publics.
