But neither do they wish to

Patriotic Mexicans are sick at

every self-sacrifice that may be
necessary to procure II.

Search prosecuted vigorously by
farmers throughout this section for
Peder Neider, aged 16, who disap-

alarmed, sending out a general call
for aid in the search Since then the
entire countryside has been searched
without success.
So far as can be learned, the boy
was thoroughly satisfied with his

only be accounted for by tle possibil-
