United States received and sent out
again during the past year nearly 40
1000 sacks and pouches. AS the
real amount of such stock in the
service is but 100000 pieces it will
be seen that this equipment was hand
led ten times in that period by the
system of distribution devised to re-
lieve congestion at one point and meet
present demands at another, without
which the peculiar exactions of the
service could not be met with the
stock carried by the department. The
rough usage to which these mail sacks
are subjected while in transit makes
frequent inspection necessary, and
this is carefully and thoroughly done
when they are returned from service
1t has been found economical to make
repairs when the damage is but slight

RICH PLANTER FALLS
DOWN ELEVATOR SHAFT

Memphis, Tenn, Aug THE body
of Robert M. Hughes, wealthy
planter of Senatobia, Miss, and
Hughes, Ark, was found yesterday
near the elevator in the basement of
a local furniture store.
According to Morris Rosenbaum, a
member of the firm, Hughes, who was
a friend, stepped into the store Tues
day afternoon and asked permission to
use the telephone. Mr.. Rosenbaum
then went about some other business
and saw nothing further of Hughes.
1t is the belief of the police that
Hughes on emerging from the tele
phone booth, became confused and
stumbled into the elevator shaft. His
money and jewelry was on the body

a man who killed two men under the

Hospital, last January killed a fisher
man named Lynch, with whom they

AMERICAN FARMERS PARTiCl-
PATE IN ExACTION OF PEN
Atty FOR oUTRAGES.

Mexico City, Aug. 7.-Seventeen
Mexicans have paid with their lives
for maltreating the daughters of Mat
thew Gonrd, an American farmer,
near Tampico, last Monday. American
farmers participated in the exaction of
the penalty, according to information,
regarded as reliable, received here.
The Americans, joined by Mexican
land owners in the district of Atasca-
dor, near Tampico, organized posse
and rode into the hills in search of
the band of outlaws, who tied Goud
and robbed him and afterward offered
indignities to two daughters in sight
of their helpless father. The band
was located and defeated in fight,
and several of it's members were cap
tured.
The seventeen men killed by the
posse included those slain in the hight
ing and those put to death by the
vigilantes afterward.
Some weeks ago a number OF MeXi-
can landowners combined with Ameri-
cans in formation of vigilence com
mittee, but this was the first time the
committee had taken the offensive.
