Welcome Card from
Son In Mexico

Brookings, July "a communication
coming through the mail, in the form
Of a postal card with only a few words
written upon il, brought great relief to
Mrs. Lydia j. Bolles, a we'll known
woman of Bookings. The card was
from her son and told of his escape
from Mexico, where he was in danger
OF his life for quite an extended period
He stated that he now was returning to
the United States, and in due course
will be reunited with his mother,
who had given him up for dead.
The son was employed by a mining
company, and for some time himself
and other employees If the company
were barricaded in a large brick
building used as a smelter, with
Mexican rebels all about them and APP
parently determined to conduct the
siege until they had captured and
killed all the refugees in the smelter.

returning to the United States and
