TEXAS RANGERS
INVADE MEXICO
"We Wanted Corpse and Have
1t" Declares CoIquitt.
FEDERALs GAVE A PERMIT.
Commander Reports To Governor
American Shot Twice Through
the Head and Once Through
the Neck.

Austin, Texas. - Texas Rangers
crossed the international boundary
unto Mexico, disinterred from the
Hidalgo Cemetery the body of
Clemente vergara, the Texas ranch
man who was lured into Mexico by
Mexican Federal soldiers, and return
ed with the body to American soil.
The Rangers were not opposed, &C
complishing their search without the
slightest violence, taking the body
from its grave almost within sight of
the Texas border. The seizure was
divested of possibly grave aspects in
international complications by reason
of the fact that the Rangers we're vir-
tually making use of permission
granted officially by Mexican Federal
authorities several days ago for re-
covery of the body.
Consul Was Afraid.
This permission had been given to
United States Consul Alonzo Garrett
at Nuevo Laredo, but he did not get
the body because of what he reported
as dangers attending search for it in
the immediate vicinity of Hidalgo.
Governor Colquitt, who recently was
refused permission by the State De-
partment to send the Rangers across
the Rio Grande to pursue the alleged
slayers Of Vergara, authorized the
statement that he did not specifically
instruct Ranger Captain J. J. Sanders,
who recovered the body, to cross the
border to get it.
No Invasion, Says colquitt.
1--WE wanted Vergara's body to de-
termine the manner of his death and
we have it." said the Governor tersely,
adding, Some people may call this
an invasion but it was not"
The official report of Captain Saun-
ders .on the incident was given out by
the executive department 1t simply
said:
q proceeded to Hidalgo, secured
vergara's body and returned it to
Laredo"
vergara had been shot twice
through the head and once through the
neck. The skull was crushed as
though from the blow of a rife butt,
and the charred left hand was taken
to indicate here that he had been tor
tured before being killed.

mans ability. Their proper attitude
would have been to confess their own
shortcomings, to strive to do their best
to cry to God for mercy and to teach
the people to do similarly. Thus they
would have been better prepared for
the Gospel AS it was. they were
hindering both themselves and Others
from becoming Jesus disciples.
Applying the Parable.
When Gods people give themselves
to Him, they give also their earthly
rights and interests, and become mere
ly stewards Of their time, talent, In
fuence, wealth, etc. These stewards
have Gods approval in the use Of all
earthly things to the forwarding OF
their spiritual interests. AS they use
earthly opportunities for advancing
Heavenly interests, this will be reck
oned to them for wise stewardship.
Being found faithful in the use OF
earthly things in Gods service, they
can be safely entrusted with a share In
Messiah's glorious Kingdom. Their
unselfshness, their willingness to sac
rifce. will be the basis of Divine ap-
proyal.
Whoever selfshly appropriates the
things of which he is steward will not
be trusted with the future great things
Whoever sacrifices will thus demon
stfate his faithfulness, his loyalty, to
God: and to such the greater things
will be entrusted. Would God entrust
the riches OF the future life to any who
now prove themselves unfaithful, self
ish, covetous, using present blessings
for self-gratification? Surely not!
Serving Two Masters.
There are two great impelling pow
ers; one evil. the other good. God Is
the Good Master; Satan, the evil mas
ter. God, His Spirit and His teachings,
are represented by the word Love:

ness, cOvetousness, mammon. Through
