ANOTHER AMERICAN KILLED.
Huerta Troops Hang Clemente Ver-
gara-WaS Lured Across Border.

Laredo, Texas, Feb. 25.-Oficial
confirmation of the hanging Of Gle
mente Vergara, American citizen, by
Mexican Federals, near Hidalgo, Mex
leo, was received to-day by United
States Consul Garrett, at Nueyo, Lar
edo. Consul Garrett Immediately
left Nuevo for the scene.
Vergara was a citizen of Webb
county, Texas, where he engaged IN
the ranching business. He used an
island in the Rio Grande, opposite
his ranch, at Palafox, Texas, as pas
ture for his horses.
Vergara complained that Mexican
Federals were stealing his horses and
a small detachment Of Texas rangers
were sent to his ranch. On February
13 MeXiCans appeared on the island
and called to Vergara to come over,
stating they would pay him for the
stolen animals. The rangers ad-
vised against compliance with the re-
quest, but the ranchman decided to
go.
No sooner had he reached the is
land, according to reports, than he
was struck OH the back Of the head
by soldiers and rendered unconscious.
In this condition he was carried into
the interior Of Mexico.
Vigorous representations in behalf
of Vergara were made to the Federal
,cOmmandant at Nuevo, Laredo, and
to Gen. Mass, at Monterey. The
ranchman'S release was promised,
and apprehension for his safety was
allayed until his long absence caused
additional INQUIRIES to be made. In
formation was given out by the MeXi-
can authorities that Vergara's release
already had beer ordered.
Yesterday reports were brought to
Consul Garrett that Vergara had been
hanged by the MeXicans, either on
the night of his capture or the morn
ing after, and the consul dispatched
an emissary to Hidalgo to learn the
facts. The report confirming his
hanging was brought here to-day.
Still Hanging to Tree.
Laredo, Feb. 26.-Oficial confir-
nation Of the hanging of Clemente
Vergara was received to-day. The
report says Vergara's body is still
hanging three miles from Hidalgo.
Consul Garrett left Immediately for
the scene.

FACTS ABOUT PNEUMONIA.
How to Get 1t and How to Miss It..
Kills Many People.
(Bulletin by North Carolina State
Board of Health.)
February is the worst month TO

Board Of Healthy
February is the worst month for
the worst disease pneumonia.
Pneumonia kills more people every
year than any other human malady,
not even excepting consumption.
pneumonia is germ disease, and is
caused by a small organism similar
in some respects to those causing
other diseases with which we are ia
miliar.
The germs of pneumonia get into
the lungs through the mouth, but not
every one who has the germs in his
mouth will have pneumonia. If he
did, practically all of us would have
the disease before the winter is over.
1t is only when the system is run
down" that the germs do their dread
work.
We here give three good ways to
encourage pneumonia, first drink lots
of alcoholic liquors, the poorer the
quality the better; second, expose
yourself without sufficient clothing,
particularly in extreme weather;
third, and best Of all, live and sleep
with your windows closed.
If you don't want pneumonia, heed
the following ways Of avoiding it:
First, let all alcoholic drinks alone;
second, dress according to the fash
ion; third, if exposed to rough wea-
ther or if YOU get wet and numb, un-
dress in a warm room rub the skin
with a coarse towel, and go to bed;
fourth; avoid constipation by eat
ing more fruit and less meats and
pastry and drinking more water and
taking more exercise; fifth keen
your feet warm and your head COOL
and last Of all, live and sleep in the
fresh air all the time.
