An Explanation by the Animated Encyclo-
pedia of the Hord Hotel.
“Do I look liken b-a-nd man?” asked George
Grandjean clerk at the Hord hotel of a Light
arrester to-day.
’’Not very."
But Grandjean said he must lie and told the
reason why.
A rough looking fellow tall and stout came
into the hotel this morning iiii.l annoyed guests
by making offensive remarks. He was drunk
that Grandjean knew ami wus big that Gniml-
jean thought about.
He had to be moved however and so Grand-
jean in default of a more muscular man un-
dertook the job. He got a black eye and sev-
eral bruises but he was the victor. Subse-
quently a friend of the drunken man entered
tiie hotel ami threatened Grandjean tint did no
lighting. The names of tiie two are not
known by Mr Grandjean. He describes the
first ns having the appearance of a railroad
uiun but “from the size of him looking some-
what like a stone eutter.”

LAREDO LETTER.
Laredo Nov 11 1882.
Evening Light.
Night before last a man by the name of
Frank Hough was found dead at Louie Dwj-
er’s butcher stalls; he was of German descent
about fifty five years of age. His death was
supposed to be from excessive drink.
Yesterday the Hons. John Hancock and J.
D. Sayers arrived from God knows where
but they stopped at the Wilson house. They
had a great many callers. We are looking
for George p. but he will hardly stop on this
side. He might get a position in the Mexi-
can army as a revolution is anticipated.
Mr. P. Babcock was arrested yesterday and
tried for insanity was judged insane with-
out restraint. Bab got otl a good joke on the
judge comparing the court to a kangaroo court.
If the truth could be ascertained there is more
cranks in Laredo than Babcock since Finlay’s
defeat.
The citizens are getting up another fiesta rr
fair. lam requested by leading citizens to
say that all arrangements are being prepared;
this morning the grounds will be laid out.
Capt. Victor Marel of quarantine notoriety
will have charge of the grounds. Great credit
is due to the citizens for they are energetic
people. A much larger crowd is anticipated.
Horse racing and sporting of all descriptions
will be on the programme. Breeders of fine
stock are specially invited Game chickens a
specialty. Where is Pat Kavanaugh.
Mr. Charles F. Bennett has opened a fine
club room; something that was never thought
of in Laredo before. Laredo is ge’ting mure
and more on the enlightened liSt every day.

J. S. Woldert at present of Tyler Texas a
veteran of the Mexican war who was a few
days ago visiting this city was one of the first
pioneers of this state. After the war he went
back to the fatherland but returned and with
him came his bride. Their voyage was on the
large sailing vessel Ernestine which in the
fall of 1853 ran from Bremen to New Orleans
Aboard of it at the time was a gentleman now
attached to this office then a cabin boy.
‘•My Partner’’ at Turner Hall.
Bret Harte never created a character moie
true to western life thin did Bartley Campbell
when he conceived Joe Sanders the hero of
“My Partner.” Joe is a sturdy miner reared
among God’s green temples and unconsciously
acquiring in their pure atmosphere a more en-
nobling sense of justice than do the people of
smoke begrimed cities. He loves Mary
Brandon whose own love has been bestowed
on his partner Ned Singleton and who has
surrendered to his partner's trust woman’s
dearest treasure. He declares his passion
and Mary weighted with her guilt faints.
Then Ned arrives and Joe learns all. At pis-
tol’s point he makes Ned promise to marry
the woman he deceived. Subsequently Ned
is killed by an enemy to Mary’s father and
the stain of the crime is placed on Joe San-
ders. While he is under arrest Mary who
distracted by Ned’s death had wandered on
the moun’ains returns home and meets with
silence the questions of her father to satisfy
whom Joe announces that she is his wife. To
make good his assertion he is compelled to
make marriage vows in the presence of a jus-
tice of the peace. Then after all hope has
long since fled a fortunate discovery is made
and the real murderer is apprehended. Joe
true to his love continues the deception for
he looks on Mary as “My Partner’s widow.”
who is now his wife.
