Both'men were cut into ribbons and the box car looked like a slaughter pen. Neither is expect- ed to live.

Letter from Col. Robbins Winterset, Iowa, Editor Timés, Butler, Mo. :— July 24th, 1916. Well, as we have reached here safely, I thought I would drop you a few lines about our return of Mexico City Friday. Forty persons, including a num- \ber of soldiers arid women, were killed during a very severe light- ning and rain storm in the suburbs have never had the car storage only. 5 All we broke about it was the spring together and we crossed places that few cars have ever crossed, Used about 140 gallon of gasoline and paid all the way from 20 cents to 50 cents per gal- lon for it. Saw all kinds of people and all kinds of country and crops. The best country we have crossed so ‘far has been the Dakotas, especial- ly South Dakota. They have an excellent country and as fine crops as 2 man wants to see on land at around $25 per acre. When we left Billings, where we saw Mrs. Dee Wheeler and Mrs. Berry and daughter, Nita, Alonzo Jundy and wife, Will Ewin and wife, all of Bates coun- ty, we then went north east down the Yellow Stone river to Terry and followed what is called the Yellow Stone trail, an auto road from Chicago to the Yellow Stone park, From Terry we went south east into North Dakota and worked south into South Dakota. We ran onto a little bunch of Indians having some wind of an- nual blow out, they told us. There were between three and four thousand camped there. We fer- ried across the Missouri river at Mobridge and camped on this side of the town and that night a small cyclone hit us and blew our rag house down and broke: the ridge pole and soaked everything we had, but when morning came the sun came out and by. noon’ we were all dry and happy again. We saw the world famous corn palace at Mitchell, South Dakota, and it certainly is worth seeing. We then crossed into Iowa at Sioux City and found the best ~ We reached here at noon Satur- day .and have traveled just 3200 miles since leaving Butler and in a garage but once, that was for little bolt that holds the front small stream near Topeka. , undertook to clean.

The United States, it is said, will pay $25,- 000,000 for the islands, . A second Democratic primary will be necessary in Texas to nom- inate a United States Senator to succeed Senator Culbertson, the first one in which 425,000 votes were cast, shows that no one of the six candidates received a majori- ty at the recent primary. Senator Poindexter introduced a bill in the Senate to make all in- come tax returns public. He has been assured of support in the finance committee for a proposal ‘to incorporate the idea in the Gen- eral Revenue Bill, now before that- committee, According to reports current in Washington, Sir Roger Casement, convicted of high treason in Lon- don will escape the death penalty. The understanding is that Sir Roger will’ be sent to an insane asylum. Information to this. ef- fect has heen received from a source which carmot be revealed at this time. General Funston has announced the discharge of seventy-five roads we had found along the entire trip. The crops are fine, small grain nearly all eut and hay mostly put up. It is a little dry here af present but has the appearance of rain. We expect to continue our home- ward journey this week and will likely be at home Saturday or Sunday. We will close hoping you are there as guardsmen, released from service under the ruling permitting the discharge of those with depend- ent relatives. The exact number of those who have applied for dis- charge was not available, but it is known that several thousand have made application. A financier holding a high gov- ernment position, who has*just re- turned from Petrograd, says that Mrs. Hilda Carlson, a —Topeka society woman and a bride of a month, was drowned Saturday while bathing in Mill ‘Creek, a John Lawrence and Robert De- baugh are dead and James Law- rence of Little Rock, Ark., is dy- ing as a result of being overcome by gas in an old well which they having plenty of rains they are needed this hot weather.
