However, I did see an old fashioned
bullock team. 1t was driven by two
old men who were hauling wood TO

all of their lives. 1 have seen oxen
hitched to a wagon, but that was the
first time I ever saw a bullock tea0l

two people from Topeka to Mexico,

least that sum was sent by the people
of Little Russia, through Charles
Gertesein to Joseph Lechmon and his
wife. They are stranded there en-

couple will have to come by the Lo-
reda, northwest Mexico route, instead
of the usual Ell Paso, Tex, route, on
account of the revolution going on
