The people of Starr county, are said to be suffering for the actual necessaries of life.

DeputT U. S. Collector of Customs, W. G. Chamberlain, has written a letter to the press from Rio Grande City, in which he makes a strong appeal for aid for the destitute of that section.

He says women and children of Starr cdunty are starving to death that three-fourths of the cattle have died and that the real situation is withheld for speculative reasons.
