THE laws of Mexico on railroad
wrecks are not so bad" said a. N De-
Guerra of JuareZ last night When
q man is indicted for criminal neSIl-
gence the courts can do nothing more
than to take is up as they do in your
country. The newspapers would lead
the public to think that the courts OF
Mexico want to see man hung just
because he is in a wreck The princl-
pal trouble is that the prosecuting
witnesses do not produce their testi-
mony promptly enough and in many
cases the defendant has to remain IN
Jail a long time without trial" Mr. De-
Gnerra thinks that W. T. Lewis, who
is in Jail in JuareZ now, Will De re-
leased as soon as the court can get all
the testimony from Chihuahua.

all over the state this fall and every

had out here in June. FL PaSo won
lasting fame on that occasion and it
will not take much coaXing to get con-

thing about Ell Paso's conventions.
they keep the thing going. During
the teachers convention here there
was not a moment passed not attended
by some event The succession was

tors like they did the teachers. Ell Paso
can get any convention it asks for in
the future"
A group OF mining men gathered in
the corridors of the Sheldon last night
and spent an hour praising FL Paso
