 Chihuahua Enterprise: Dele gates representing the Chamber of Commerce of Yucatan have been in Mexico City the last week or two interviewing Finance Minester Li- mantour seeking a means for avert. ing the financial crisis with which the peninsula is threatened. The negotiating of a foreign loan has been proposed but this does not meet with complete favor as it is likely to be difficult to secure terms at this time.

The an- nouncement of the sudden death of Miss Patterson was severe shock to her many friends in this city and elsewhere. Miss Patterson, who comes of a highly respected family of Toronto, Canada, came to this city several years ago, since which time she has been an esteemed member of the Canadian colony She was 40 years of age. | She leaves brother and sister in !

 Mexican Herald: Il am very much obliged to you and to all the gentlemen of your party" were the words of Mr. Rackow, addressed to party of bandits who, after firing a number of shots at him and those who accompanied him, relieved them of all the money and- valu- ables which they had upon them. The reason for Mir. Raekow's grati- tude was that he was most gra- ciously allowed to keep in his pos session a valuable gold watch which, he stated, was family souvenir. 1t having been given tc him by his mother. It is not known whether on account of the privilege allowed him to keep the watch, or by the sight of a number of rifles and pistols, Mir. Rackow jumped off his horse, unloaded mule that carried several thousand dollars and gave it all to the bandits probably as tip for having saluted him and his party with a deafen ing "salve."
