Gov. Aaron Saenz of Nuevo Leon

of the military zone of that part of
Mexico, have gorie to the town and
conferred with Fldenelo with regard
to the situation. It Is declared that

employees of the ranch were.several
who were afTllcted with paralysis,
blindness, and oilier chronic disorders. I
Fldenelo called these sufferers together
and informed them that he
would cure them of their ailments. At j
tills seance he went through the performance
of boiling various kinds of
wild -herbs In a great cauldron und I
then, while he chanted In a mysterious
way, he threw a pailful of the brew
upon the patients, telling them thai
they were, healed. Strange to Bay,
