WALKED FROM RIO GRANDE

A party of 20 Mexican women,
it is said, arrived in Alice few
days ago, footing it across the
country from Starr county, all their
belongings being loaded on one
poor little donkey which they drove
ahead of them. Dry weather, it is
said, is forcing the people to leave
that part of the Rio Grande valley
till it rains. The Mexicans, who
were going east to pick cotton, tell
a sad story, we are told.

Drowned Mans Body
Found Floating in the River-Ap-
parently White Man.

On Saturday last the body of a
man was found floating in the riv-
er near Santa Rosalia, about five
or six miles below town. The body
was drawn ashore, and Justice OF
the Peace Gavito was notified of
the grewsome discovery. He went
down at once to hold an inquest,
but was unable to determine any
thing definite, owing to the eondi-
ton of the body, which was badly
decomposed and mutilated by fish.
Apparently it had been in the wa
ter about eighteen days. There were
no garments on it, and the flesh
had all been eaten off the face.
One small patch of black hair a
little larger than dollar remained
an the head. Justice Gavito is of
the opinion that it is the body of a
white man, and that his death was
bv drowning, but there is no clue
to his identity
The remains were buried in the
cemetery at Santa Rosalia.

EDITOR HERALD:

/
Grulla, Texas, Aug. 10.-Sir::-
1t is now rearly three weeks since
my last letter. ! have been so busy
that | was unable to write you
and then, there was such dearth
of news that threw up the sponge
and the weather got so hot, that
I nearly kicked the bucket. There
that ought to satisfy you, unless,
like Pharaoh, you harden your
heart and refuse to admit explana-
tions. Be careful to observe that
1 don't say excuses, because know
that such are inadmissible in a
newspaper office.
The weather keeps the same, hot
and dry. In the last week of July,
we had shower here, and it rain
ed quite heavily at Las Garcias
Abajo. T his rain came too
late to save rhe scanty crop OF
corn at Las Garcias, La Casita, etc.
But some few have planted at the
above named places.
The river rose several times here
and entered our estero at the lower
end, but did not fill it. The water
soon disappeared in the thirsty soil.
For the last three or four days,
the weather has been very hot, with
the thermometer running to $50
and 1919 in the shade When that
weather office sharp gets his cold
stove made by a factory, he ought
to sell thousands down here, pro-
vided they are cheap.
| have Just come in from Il trip
of some forty odd miles in the back
country. Only at the Tanque de
los Longoriae and at FL Charco del
Toro, was water to be found, until the
ranches of Don Florencio Alvara-
do. Pedro Villareal, and the Penas
at San Ysidro. At those places
there are wells, windmills, and
abundant water
As for grass, there is none. In
some places the stubs are left, and
| suppose the roots are alive, wait
ing for a rain. In most the places,
ground is bare as a floor. But there
have been two abundGnt crops OF
mesquite beans, with lots still left,
and there is now most tremen-
dous crop of tunas. | never saw
such a lot of that fruit Every an
imal. even the horse, is living up
on these. | can't say that they are
fat. but they are in fair condition.
But it was hot! Whew! How l
initiated the English in Flanders.
At the rancho of Dona Geralda
Il forgot the surname) there is a
deep we'll, over 100 feet deep. Last
month an attempt was made to
clean it out as it was caving, and a
digger became suffocated with gas
at the bottom of the we'll and died.
Another who went down to bring up
the body was 50 overcome with the
foul as,gas, that he was drawn up
partly ertraOiadO, and | under
stand so continues.
There is nothing here. 1odO es
pacifcors the Mexicans say. Our
only items are the mad coyotes,
which make nearly nightly incur
sions in the ranches. Last Tues
day evening one was killed in the
main street Of the village, near the
house of Don Eutimio Garcia.
[ am heartily glad to see how

am heartily glad to see how
triumphantly Mr. Wells came out.
But it was only what | expected,
and it was very foolish of Mr.. Cock
rell to pit himself l..against the
Rupert of the Frontier. He might
as we'll try to buck against a che
basco. I've said thing sabout
uniform primaries, as | did notiun-
derstand what they meant. Here
after we will see if theS areiso very
useful.
What's about the steamer? Is
it possible that SO little is doing
that the Manteo can't keep on? |
hope the news will stimulate action
on the part of the business men of
Brownsville.
It is too hot fer me TO say any
thing about general politics, SO I'll
close. Ell SoLTERo.

PA|NE'S CELERY COMPOUND
Makes Nerve Fibre and Nerve Force, Cleanses the Blood and Strengthens and Gives Tone to Every Function of the Body.

As a medicine for doing immediate and effective work in sickness resulting from impaired nerves and impure blood my family considers your Paine's Celery Com pound without a peer" Tt strengthens and gives tone to the system.' ''It has saved many q doctors bill.
 So writes J. J. Donahue, Chief of Po- lice of Omaha. to the proprietors of this never failing remedy. Paine's Celery Com pound makes nerve fibre and nerve force, and imparts true health to body and brain. It Is the only known positive cure for nervous prostration, resulting from business responsibilities, irregular habits and overwork.
 Paines Celery Compound is the one great remedy for dyspepsia and weak nerves. Dyspepsia is caused by acute inflammation of the nerves centered about the stomach. Palpitation of the heart, dizziness, cardialgia and distention of the stomach are common in dyspepsia. Lam guor and irresistible drowsiness are cer- tain symptoms.
 Paines Celery Compound keeps the muscular walls of the stofsaoh in viz orous action until the process of diges- ton is made complete, It restores ener- gy, gives renewed vigor to all affected parts, checks dizziness and allays heart burn. It Is a safe and reliable cure for nervous dyspepsia.
 Paine's Celery Compound will build up weakened and infamed nerves, keep the stomach, liver and kidneys in healthy action, and make mind and body healthy. It is the greatest reconsructant of the nervous system known to medical science. It permanently cures nervous exhaustion. It is particularly effcacious in all cases where the afflicted are worn out and run down.
 If you have the first symptoms of fail ing health. if you are conscious that something is wrong, that you lack strength, if the buoyant feeling of perfect health does not return after each nights s sleep, it Is time to give the nerves and blood the food that Nature requires. Paine's Celery Compound is rightly call ed Natures medicine. Medical science has failed to produce its equal as nerve

 Sprlnging Up In West.

'Holdenv1lle L T., February 20.-About twenty armed Snake Indians threatened to burn Holdenville Wednesday and Marshal Kaase, learning of their inten- tion, placed a large number of deputies on guard to protect the city.

It has been known for sometime that the Snake Indians are incensed at the springing up of the new towns all over the Creek Nation, and it Is feared that serious trouble will be the outcome.
 Mounds and Beggs, new towns along the line of the Frisco system. were threatened also, but tney were too well guarded and an attack was not made.
 The Snake Indians seemed to be de- termined not ti give up tehir country to law and order without strenuous re- sistance
