A brave and daring expedition by G. W. ("Fat") Newman into the heart of Mexico to carry relief to American families cut off by the rebels led to the press report in October of the probable death of Newman in an encounter in Durango state. A letter to the secretary from Newman a few days after his return on November 6 happily states that the report of his death "was greatly exaggerated". Newman has been living at Eagle Pass with his wife during the Mexican troubles and since the mining property where he has been employed as engineer was totally destroyed by fire in August. Late in September, Newman started for Mapimi, Durango, with a large supply of provisions for the relief of Americans in distress in that town. He returned on November 6, after, as he says, "a rather strenuous trip of fortyfive days, horseback, covering about 900 miles, bringing back with us two families, children, and three men. Several rebel bands were encountered, but as I knew practically all the leaders in Coahuila, encountered no trouble".
