The 5 Protestant missions here have schools and various Mexican 
assistant preachers, but they labor at an up-hill business owing to 
the opposition of the priests and the indifference of the people, 
!%en missions were first put here the opposition was very bitter 
and incited by fanaticism and priests a mob assassinated two mission¬ 
aries, At a later period the missionaries were notified that the 
mob ms coming to destroy them at a certain time, so the missionary 
in charge barricaded his doors, armed himself and a few amnorters 
with rifles and awaited the attack, At the aonointed time, the 
mob appeared in large numbers and as they were about to begin the 
attack a sharp earthquake shock was felt. The mob became panic- 
stricken and fled at once, and it ms afterwards given cut that the 
heretics had been aided by the devil. The "heretics”, or the other 
hand, attributed to another source. 
However the thing occurred, the effect was such upon the fanatics 
that they have never made any serious disturbance since. At times 
someone throws a stone into the room where a service is being held 
and at once takes to his heels # but beyond such petty annoyances
