Burners in Mexico.

DURANGO, Mex, May 13.--The mail
courier from Mazatlan brings news of a
desperate affray between the workmen
of two camps of charcoal burners in the

for some time between the rival camps,
and few nights ago an employe from
each camp met on the narrow mountain
road. One threw the other over a
precipice and he was dashed to pieces
on the rocks below. The fatal encount-
er led to general conflict between the
camps in which ten men were killed
and number badly wounded.

When this tube gets infiamed you have a

when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
