THREE MEXICANS
KILLED BY LIGHTNING

The following was received
from our Holbrook correspondent:
A serious accident occurred
at j. w. Richards sheep camp
near Mud Tank, about sixty
miles southwest of HoIbrook,
Saturday evening, July 25, when
lightning struck the camp-tent
in which four Mexican herders
were retiring for the night, kill
ing three of them and wounding
the fourth member of the party,
rendering him unconscious for
several hours. The names of
those killed were Alexandra Flor
es and Jose Nevarro of New
Mexico and Antonio Romero, a
fifteen year old boy of Holbrook.
Juan Chaves was the fourth
member of the group and escap-
ed serious injury, getting off
with a few flesh wounds on the
right side but he claims to re-
member very little of the Incl
dent. He remembers that it
was raining and that the Romero
boy had retired for the night and
that the others were preparing
for bed; that he knew nothing
else until awakening from un-
consciousness and found the
dead bodies Of his companions,
not knowing what had happened
nor the length of time that had
elapsed since he was preparing
for ped and talking to them. AS
soon as he was able Senor Juan
found his way to Mr.. Richards
second camp and gave the alarm.
reaching there about two or three
O'Clock in the morning.
Mr.. Richards went to the camp
and examined the conditions and
then motored into town for help.
The sheriff and coroner were
notified and returned to the
scene of the accident with Mr..
Richards, taking an extra car
upon which the three bodies
were removed to this place, ar
irving here Sunday evening.
The coroner's verdict was in ac-
cordance with the above facts,
and the three bodies were inter
ed i n the Holbrook cemetery
Monday morning.

his father helped him in the

He had to come very slowly for

he has been hurt by one of them.

FERGUSON CALLS
On DEMOCRATS TO
ENDORSE WILSON
Nominee For Governor Says
Allegiance to Policies
and Platforms"

temple, Tex, July 30.-James Z. Fer
66osoh mas issued a call for saturday
L.1-iocratic county conventions 70 M
e p. .St the delegates to the state con-
,,s s-Llen at FL PasO August II TO hearu-
- endorse the Wilson administration
Inc statement follows:
IN the last few days the idea seems
- nave gained some prevalence that l
JUG pc opposed to the endorsement or
me wilson administration at the com
/ ing II Paso convention While in my
speech at Marlin and other places dur
ing the campaign. I questioned the pro-
pFlety Of president Wilson and other
nigh officials attempting to dictate or
suggest to the people OF Texas who
Eney should elect governor. and while
l IN no way recede from that position
ana still think that II was unfortunate
mat president Wilson should have been
qraWn into the Texas campaign, yet I
deem that action on his part only as a
personal indiscretiOn, and II should in
no manner be the cause for dissensiOn
between Democrats and their allegiance
TO Democratic policies and platforms.
For this reason I want it distinctly
understood that I am in favor Of, and
II would please me to see, the people
OF Texas in their various county con-
yenuons next Saturday instruct their
delegates to the FL Paso convention to
vote for endorsement Of the present
Democratic administration and to ap-
prove the sincere efforts Of president
Wilson in carrying out the will OF the
people as expressed through their rep
resentatives at the Baltimore conven-
ton.
7 consider the principles set forth at
me Baltimore convention binding upon
all Democrats, at least until such time
as another national Democratic con-
yention shall be held, and hope that the
Fl Paso convention viii so declare"
