DEATH OF MRS, A. YZNAGA
Brownsville Lady Passes Away in
Laredo.
A telegram received here last
evening by relatives of the family
announced the sad news of the death
of Mrs. Antonio Yznaga of this city,
which occurred at J^aredo yester- j
day.
Mrs Yznaga had been in bad
health for some time. Her husband
took her to San Antonio several
months ago for treatment, a'nd she
seemed to be improved for a time.
From San Antonio, Mrs. Yznaga
went to visit relatives in Laredo,
her old home. While there, as the
guest of her brother, A. R. Garcia,
she was taken quite ill again, and
went to the local hospital for treat
ment. An unfortunate feature of
her illness was the breaking of one
of her legs near the hip, in a
paroxysm of pain. This occurred
about two weeks ago.
Mrs. Yznaga was Miss Zapopa i
Garcia of Laredo, being prominently
connected there. She was married I
to Antonio Yznaga, of Brownsville,
about five years ago, and had made
her home here since here marriage.
Mr. Yznaga belongs to one of the
old and prominent families of
Brownsville. He is an employe of
the customs service in this city. Mr.
Yznaga was with his wife in Laredo
at the time of her death. The
funeral will take place there tomor
row. A mass of requiem for Mrs.
Yznaga will be held at the Catholic
church in this city this morning at
seven o’clock.

EVERY STOCKHOLDER
URGED TO ATTEND
" .
Meeting of Midwinter Fair Associa
tion Tonight—Many Important
Details to Settle.
It is expected that there will be
a well attended meeting of the
Brownsville Midwinter Fair Associa
tion tonight at the Chamber of
Commerce. Besides being asked to
ratify the dates proposed by the di
rectors for holding the fair, January
6 to 15, inclusive, the meeting will
hear the report of the secretary and
attend to otner important business.
It is probable that the association
will not engage a regular carnival
company for the next exposition, but
an effort will be made to engage in
dividual attractions. It is thought
that this plan will prove more suc
cessful. This is one Qf the matters
on which the meeting will likely
pass. .
The Valley will be looked to to
supply the exhibits that will go to
make up the fair. It is believed that
this year’s exhibition will be on of
the most comprehensive yet gotten
up. The Rio Grande Commercial
Secretaries’ Association has prom
ised its help, and this doubtless will
prove of much value to the fair.
Secretary L. A. Whitney said yes
terday that all the officers greatly
desired that every stockholder who
can possibly arrange to attend the
meeting, should do so. Their sugges
tions and cooperations, he said, will
be of inestimable worth to the next
Midwinter Fair.
FOUND DEAD IN
SHALLOW RESACA
Joaquin Rodriguez Came to Death
from Accidental Drowning—There
Were No Witnesses.
Joaquin Rodriguez, age 35, was
found dead in a resaca early Sunday
morning on the ranch of A. Jagou,
known as the Esperanza ranch,
about three mile3 southeast of the
city. His death was due to drown
ing.
Justice of the Peace V. Gavito
went to the place to investigate the
man’s death. He learned that the
man went to the resaca Saturday
afternoon for a swim. There were
no witnesses, and the judge rendered
a verdict to >the effect that the man
came to his death by accidental
drowning. The water was shallow.
Rodriguez carao from the interior
of Mexico, and had been here about
six months. He leaves a young wife
and two children.

Had Relatives in Louisiana.
The Daily Champion, of Plaque
mine, La., of August 16, reports the
killing of City Marshal Crixell of
this ci'ty, on the night of August 9,
by Deputy Sheriff Paul McAllister.
Mr. Crixell was a relative of the
Paturrean family and also a cousin
of Alderman Ferdinand Hebert of
Plaquemine. The Champion con
cludes its report by saying that Mr.
Crixell had a hast of friends who
were devoted admirers and the sad
tragedy is deplored by all the rela
tives and friends of Alderman
Hebert.

FINDING OF BUDDHA'S BONES.
Of al! the treasures unearthed by
the archaeologist’s spade from the
hidden recesses of the earth no flni^
has ever thrilled more human
hearts than the recovery of the
bones of Gautama Siddartha Buddha
from a mount near Peshawar, India's
northwest frontier stronghold.
The efTect of this discovery upon
the votaries of Buddljjsra, who are
estimated to number more than
500,000,000 and form a large per
centage of the population of Japan.
Formosa, Korea, China, Tartary,
Siam, Annam, Cambodia, Tibe\
Burma, Nepal India and Ceylon, and
who look upon Buddha as their
emancipator, their god of gods, can
be appreciated only when it is con
sidered what a sensation the finding
of the remains of Mohammed would
make in the Mohammedan world.
The unearthing of the bones of their
revered saint, it can be easily
imagined, has stirred the Buddhists
to the depths of their beings in a
way that nothing else could have
done.
\Mhat adds interest to the ro
mantic find, not only to Buddhists,
but for men and women of all creeds
and climes, is the fact that the exac’
location where these particular relics
of Buddha had been interred was
shrouded in mystery, hidden in an
almost impenetrable mass of Orient
al legendary lore. No one knew
definitely where the shrine had been
erected, and consquently the hunt
ror the bones was no sinecure, since
it had to be based to a large extent
on pure guess work—From the Wide
World.
