the killing Of the Coulters, has
the headlines. 1t is the opinion

egg $500. This has been another
sunny, pleasant week. .... Patron
ize the merchants who invite you
to do so through the columns of
the Independent. Mexican
affairs get worse and worse. The
rebels are not in harmony. Which
one will the administration recog-
nize after old Huerta is ousted?
