A Fatal Sleep
 
Laredo, Tex., Jan. 2 – A telegram was received here today from Aguilares on the lines of the Texas Mexican railway in Eucinal county, announcing the death of Private Lynch of Troop K, Third Cavalry, commanded by Captain hunter, now in the field after revolutionists in the lower country.  It occurred accidentally.
 
The troops were on the move, and Private Lynch was driving a mule team attached to one of the large supply wagons.  He went to sleep, fell off the lead mule and the wagon ran over his head, crushing it and causing almost instant death.
