MEXICAN BANDITS
 ATTACK PATROL
Two Americans Killed and Five Wounded Near San lgnacio-- Dressed in Peon Garb. 100
 Crossed the Border.

Laredo. June i5-One hundred Mexican bandits. crossing the Rio Crande river at ? o'clock this morn ing near San Ignacio, 70 miles south east of here, attacked two troops of the i4th cavalry, killing two and wounding five Americans.
 Six Mexicans were found dead, their clothing wet, indicating that they had just forded the river
 Major Gray, commanding the cav airy after a half hour fight with the Mexlcans, pursued the bandits south on the American side of the river and may follow them into Mexico.
 The names of Che dead could not be learned at Fort Mcintosh here on account of the lack of wire com mnnication in the district where the bandits are now being pursued.
 The Mexicans did not attempt t0 make an attack on the town nor tO raid the little municipality. but de- liNered a direct and premedltated attack on the soldiers, evidently expecting Co find a smaller body of troops than they met
 lt is declared that the MeXieans were dressed in peon garb. but that they were exceptionally well armed.
 The bandits made their attack first on Troop NJ. of the ilth cav airy, and Troop |, which was sta- toned q short distance up the river, heard the shooting and hurried to the scene, arriving there in a few minutes and engaged in the battle at once.
 The attackers soon lost heart aft CT finding the American forces so large and SO deadly in their aim. and retreated southward on the Amer lcan side of the river for some dis tance, closely followed hv the Amer ican forces under Major Gray.
 The bandits succeeded in making their way around the rear of the American camp. where they fired a shot at the sentry.
 II was taken for granted here that Major Graz would pursue the ban dits until they had crossed into Mexico, and it would not be at all surprising if the Americans should tNfiNW itAt iot u dii dtA Noa ltiF river.
 That it was not the intention of the bandits to attack and sack the little town of San Ignacio is indi- cated in the fact that their approach to the camp of the American caval- rymen was made some distance from the settlement.
 This is regarded here as positive evidence that the attack on the bor- der patrol was the only thing the Mexicans had in mind
 In the meantime, other troops have been ordered in readiness to proceed to the San Ignacio section in quick order. either to assist or relieve Major Gray's command.
 Until Major Gray has communi- cated with the commander at Fort Mcintosh here, it is not believed that the names of the American dead will be known.
 Private Minaden. who was wound ed in the San Ignacio fight. died this morning. making the third American death as a result of the attack.

TO DODGE THE LIGHTNING.
Metal Bed Is Safest Place In House
 During a storm.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 The fear of being struck by light ming is both a real and a very sensi- ble fear.
 But lightning can be avoided like all other evils. 1t will strike in cer- tain places and 1t will not strike in other places. There are reasons for its behavior in both cases, for na- ture never operates by chance.
 A steam engine or a railroad coach IS as safe as any place in the world as far as lightning is concerned No one has ever been struck by light nlng while he was aboard a train.
 The business part of city like wise Is never struck by lightning Neither are tall skyserapers ever hit It is a matter of record that in- surance companies never have any losses from lightning striking any building with metallic sides and framework of iron and steel
 A steel battleship is also safe from the bolt from the clouds, as is a steel windmill tower. This is be- cause everyone of these objects is it's own lightning rod and needs no further protection than they can give themselves.
 There is another list of things which lightning will surely strike. It will strike a country house or a house in the outskirts of town. It likes to hit a barn, church, school house. tree, stack or animal especi- ally if it is near wire fence.
 As for a house, the safest place in a lightning storm is your iron or brass bed. It is very dangerous to stand near the bed because you are taller than the bed The reason why you are safe when lying on if Is that the bed head and foot extend above your head. The current will not leave the bed to pass thru your body. The walls and floor of the room may be ripped to pieces but you will be safe as long as you lie in your bed
 Feather beds offer no protection whatever from lightning unless they lie on a metal he'd If the bed is of wood and the springs are of steel. the wood of the he'd may be split 10 pieces. but you will nevertheless re- main unharmed.
 During the day the safest place in the house is in the center of a room, provided there is no stove near
 Contrary to popular opinion it makes no difference whether doors or windows are open or closed Lightning can get in under any cir eumstanees if it wants to.
