believed Americans wished to see the
Mexican administration sustained ir

had been elected by the vote of the
people if ever a Mexican president
was. Senior Calero called attention
to the fact that General Pascual Oroz-

dent Madero is an usurper, begged
permission to escort him on the day
of his Inauguration.

had been dead several hours
Deputy Coroner Alnutt of Greeley
took the body to Greeley last
night
Yesterday morning at O'Clock
Mrs, Williams left her homestead.
- miles northwest of Briggsdale. to
come into town for groceries. The
sheep herders saw her drive past
with her dog and later in the day
saw the horse and buggy standing
under a tree on the bank OF Crow
creek. They thought that the wom-
an was picking berries and did not
pay any more attention until they
noticed the woman's dog acting in
a peculiar manner. The animal
would run up and down the bank OF
the creek and howl. Believing then
that something was wrong Huey and
FITZGERALD went to investigate. Ac-
cording to their statements to Dep
uty Coroner Alnutt they found the
body of the woman floating on the
surface of the mud hole.
1t is believed that Mrs. Williams
drove through the mud hole be-
cause there was water mark on
the bottom of the buggy. Her black
hand bag fell out into the water and
after she had crossed she removed
her shoes and stockings and at
tempted to get the hand bag. 1t was
seen where she walked down to the
waters edge. Evidently Mrs. Will
iiams lost her balance and toppled
into the mud hole. In struggling to
reach the bank she sank deeper into
the mud and drowned.
The horse and dog went on a
short distance and then when no
guiding hand was felt, the horse
pulled up under a tree. The small
collie dog that has constantly been
her companion scented something
was wrong when his mistress did
not appear and returned to the
creek The animal circled about
the dead woman for hours and then
rushed up to the bank and howl
ed. When their attention was at
trActed to the dog the sheep herders
were on their way into Briggsdale
for supplies.

and although her parents said they
would rather put her In her grave
than see her marry Yankee. she
braved their displeasure and mar
ried the man of her choice. Five
years later they visited her parents
and were forgiven.
