MONDAY, JUNE 15, 1314. PAGE 2. PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. HOW IT L AROUND THE CITY OF VERA CRUZ An Interesting Letters From a Former Plattsmouth Boy to His Sister. The following very interesting It tier in regard to the actual eou.Jitioiis in Vera Cruz, Mexico, has been received here by Mrs. Anthony Nesladek, from her brother", Walter Haines, a former I'ialtj-mouth boy, who is at prcs eiirwith the signal corps in the warlike southern republic. Mr. Haines is well remembered here, alth..uj-'h it has been several years .-:nce h. removed from this city. The b tter is one that tells freely tin- actual conditions that pie vail there: Vera Cruz, Mexico, May 31. Hear Siter Your kind letter r- ad and was ylad all were well. This war is turning out to be a j ke, frm the way things look to K:4 soldiers and sailors. It is about the same as it was when v.. landed here, only things are i, i as they should be according t. the naties' point of view, as tl ey don't savy this eb-aning-up I ,'oVess; they are all being vac- luated and imule to clean up in fiieral. I suppose that this is as loan as this city ever was and eer will lie. I am stationed about two miles from the terminal l; -a biuarlers and in one of the Waters-pierce Oil Co.'s otlices; tl e headquarters of the Fourth ii. fantry are here and this is half a mile from one of their outposts. Suppose you folks hear a dozen different reports ami all kinds of lumors that are not true, and it will always be that way, but the only way to get the right of it is be right on the job. Our wire k is installed on a passenger cnai li and we run through the federal lines every day. twice in tr forenoon and in the after noon, niakinir the trip out to the gip in the traek where they have it torn up, and bring back the iefu-'ees who come down from th- city on the Mexican railroad. The; train proceeds through the li with a white flag and we are i:-'t mole-ted by them. The navy has four hydro's here and they do the scouting. We have all our outposts and the trenches all fixed up and I don't think all the Mexicans in the country could trke one of them. The -poor devils do-fl want to fihf they are made to. They are starving, and I look for them to come in and give up any time now, as the rebs are pressing them a little closer very day. and will sooner or 1 : f or lrive them in. It sure is a strange state of affairs, and that I think we will be a biur time try ing to straighten out, if we ever do. Say, Sis, if you will read what Jack London has to say in Collar's Weekly the 23d of this month, entitled "With l-'unston's Men." I think that you will have it pretty straight, as he has put it down right. The pictures of his. and the line-up he gives is about as correct as you can get it. so get a copy of it, if you have pot already one. Yes. if. is cer tainly a mixed-up affair and I gues it will be some time before we will be back o the states, at least that's my opinion of it. Well. I will mail you a copy of today's Herald ami you can see where they allowed the fierman ship Ypiranga to unload those arms at Puerto, Mexico, that means encouragement to Hue rta's men, but from all reports as to their way of lighting they will waste nine out of ten cartridges before they make a hit. The men are very anxious to do something or go back home; I bey all holler, "War is li I," and I guess it is. I will send you a few postals of the prison, San Juan De I'lloa, soon. It was a si'-rht to see awful, but it is all cleaned up now and thousands go to see it all the time. (Jive my regards to (hc4 folks and write soon, as we like to hear from our homes. It takes the mail 3fi hours to come from Gal veston to this port; the destroy ers carry it for us. You ought to get this about the rth of June. I.ove lo all. (iood-bye. Your brother. Waller H.

HENRY COOK OF UNION -IS CHARGED WITH BEING OF UNSOUND MIND Last evening Constable O. W. Clark arrived in the city bringing with him Henry Cook, a stranger, who claims to be from South Omaha, and who for the past week has been staying in the vi cinity of Union. The man is evidently decidedly off in the up per story and his stories of his being pursued by large crowds of men who threatened his life greatly frightened the residents at the farm of Mrs. A. J. Ander son, where the man was working for a few days. The trouble was first noticed when he reported having seen a large number of men crawling under the fence in the pasture at the Anderson farm, and an investigation was made, but no men were found, and Mr. Clark was summoned, and to him the man related a harrowing story of how the farm was sur rounded by armed men, hiding behind bushes and generally an noying him. The county attorney was notified of the situation and advised that the man be brought here, where the authorities could look after the case ami see that he was placed where he could not harm himself or anyone else.

FINE CASS COUNTY CATTLE ON KANSAS CITY MARKET Some very fine western cattle were marketed at Kansas City last week, being shipped from the vi cinity of Murray, this county, ami they brought Ihe lop prices on Ihe market, as they were exception ally fine stock and in the best of condition.
