LEAVE EVERYTHING TOR
Mr and Mrt U lover are hnme
from Mexico, where they have been
for the rntt year.
Mr. tllover stated that the average
American citizen hat B3 conception
of the Mexlcsnt as a people, as they
are tnllv a thousand years behind the
Anglo Saxon. Thev are still mnsly
savage, wit hi ut honor. When two boyt
get In a light In this country the
sympathy of the crowd l alwnva with
the s miller try. In Mexico It It
just the reverse, the. always side
v it ti the stronger, and their nature in
many other ways is Just opposite to
thst of the white people. The Am
erican and Kngllsb residents of that
country were in favor of the govern
ineiit and wanted the I nite.l States
to recngmz llnerta.
The sending of the army to Santa
Cruz, hat oot the American aud ether
foreign residents mlllllous of I I
lars aud will not accomplish auy
good. All the people had to get out
and lnve evsrj thing lor the hnudit
to steal aud destroy as lbs feeling
was very strong One of the causes
of the III feeling toward the Culted

HORSE SALE AT JUNTURA
BROUGHT IN THE BUYERS
A I Wethcrly is in from his ranch near
the Narrows.
He was at the Juntnra horse sale and
reports prices from iio to I1M) a head
About $2ll,iNNl worth changed hands.
Several buyers are atill there and
more trades will be made.
Another sale in the fall would bring
out a lot of big gentle work stulT r.nd it
is probable that two sales will be held
annually hereafter The location is
ideal, being in the heart of the horse
country. The owners can get their
horaes there at small expense and in
case uo sale it made they can be turned
loose and will drift back to their range
