LAREDO, Texas, «March 9.~—A shovel
sticking in the soft earth of the open
grave and around the handle of the
implement a card with the word “-Re.
coerdos," (Remembrance) was the
single trace todnyof the mysterious
alight visit of a party of unidentifiedl
men to 'Hldalgo, Mexico, cemetery, who
rlisirrterred the body of Clemente Ver
gore and returned it to Texas for bur
lot by his family. V
Vergara's body secretly was placed
at a lonely spot on the Rio Grande, for.
ti-«llve miles above Laredo, in the early
dawn on Sunday morning, to be found
by a. United States oliiciel, a state of-
dicer and a county deputy sheriff, but
who was responsible for its removal
from Mexico was a question still on.
