OFFICIALS ARE SUSPICIOUS
Believe Defect Was Caused by
Malicious Persons Who
Have Operated Before.
The malicious removal of two bolts
from the switch strap at the Junction
of the International & Great Northern
railroad with the San Antonio Uvalde
& Gulf railroad caused the engine
baggage and mail cars of the Inter-
national & Great Northern south-
bound passenger train No. 5 to leave
the track this morning about a half
mile south of the Union Stock yards.
The train had just stopped for the
crossing of the Southern Pacific tracks
and was gathering headway on the
steep grade near the stock yards and
was running only about fifteen miles
an hour when the accident occurred.
It is due to this fact no one on the
train was injured.
Engineer Is Thrown.
The train was in charge of Con-
ductor L. M. Bowden with Engineer
John Dickerson and Fireman C. J.
Wagner in the cab. When the engine
left the track the fireman jumped and
received a slightly bruised knee. The
engineer was thrown from his seat to

In shutting off the steam and closing
his air brakes which accounts for the
other care leaving the track.
The track and roadbed was torn up
for a distance of about 100 feet and
traffic was delayed on the line until
about 1 o’clock.
The passenger coaches and the Pull-
man Bleepers were taken back to the
station and when the track had been
cleared the train was made up anew
and left tor its regular run to the City
of Mexico.
Not First Occurrence.
Officials of the line said that this is
the third or fourth time bolts had
been removed from switches or
switches spiked in this same vicinity
within the past two months but this
was the first time any accident had
occurred as the trouble always was
discovered before any trains had
passed.
The engine. No. lAS was damaged
badly and was tilted almost to the
overturning point The pilot was
buried about three feetln the cinder
ballast and it was necessary to build
a track around the locomotive before
traffic was resumed.
The engineer. John Dickerson. Is
one of the oldest tn the employ of the
company and is considered one of the
most reliable men on the line.

WANT BUDGETTO show
WARD EXPENDITURES
Starr Heights Improvement Club Ad-
vocates Each to Have Advantage
of Ito Taxes.
A yearly budget for the city which
will specify the exact amount to be
spent In each ward of the city and
the purpose for which it is to be
spent. Is to be advocated by the Starr
Heights Improvement club which met
yesterday afternoon and decided to
ask the aid of the city aidermen in an
effort to pass such a budget.
“The budget proposed would be
fair to all concerned" said an officer
of the club. “After the ward's pro
rata for general expenses is taken
out the remainder of Its taxes we
feel should go to that ward for speci-
fic Improvements. Such a budget
ought to satisfy both factions In the
city council and would be satisfactory.
I think to eyery ward in the city.” '
The club also appointed a commit-
tee to ascertain why a list of names
submitted by it had not been reported
to the council and those on the list
notified to build sidewalks. The club
desires to take advantage of the new
city ordinance and compel the laying
of sidewalks In the Sixth ward and to
that end submitted a list of delin-
quents to the chairman of the side-
walk committee. So far as can be
learned the council has taken no
action In the matter. The committee
to ascertain the reason for delnv Is

ROTAN WAS BEST PLAYER
Waco Player- a Remarkable
Amateur—Kampmann and
Hubby Staged Feature.
Most of the San Antonio golfers
who went to Dallas recently to par-
ticipate'' in the state golf tournament
which vloaed there last Saturday are
back in the city ready for the quali-
fying round for the E. B. Chandler
cup which will be played next Satur-
day on the local links.
The experts are one and all enthus-
iastic over the state tourney and over
the royal entertainment they received
at the hands of their hosts. It is well
known that the Dallas Country club
now possesses one of the handsomest
and bne of the best appointed club-
houses in the country and the visitors
found their every slightest wish grant-
ed almost before it could be uttered.
Result Was Fair.
The locals regard the outcome of
the tournament as in every way satis-
factory. In speaking of it F. M. Lewis
who was one of the San Antonio play-
ers to qualify said:
"No golfer in the state has any kick
coming over the fact that Rotan of
Waco won. It was simply a case
where the victory went to the man
who was best entitled to It. Mr. Rotan
Is a remarkable amateur and in the
present event he came straight down
the hardest side of the tournament be-
ing matched with Connerly and other
cracks In the first few rounds of play.
"Rotan was runner-uip in last year’s
tournament which was won by R. H.
Connerly of Austin but since that
time he has been constantly at prac-
tice. He was also runner-up in the
Massachusetts state tournament last
summer.
Hubby a Coiner.
"C. M. Hubby of Waco also made
quite a sensation on the links. He Is
a boy of only It but plays with the
steadiness of a veteran. TThe match
between him and Bob Kampmann of
our bunch was far and away the most
Interesting in the whole tourney. The

While Eczema Acne Tetter Salt Rheum etc. are troubles which affsew

are caused by Irritating humors or uratic acid in the blood. Such impuritl—-
inflame and irritate the delicate net-work of fibrous tissue which lies jus*
beneath the surface of the outer skin and the inflammatory discharge thud
produced is forced out through the pores and glands and is continually
kept up while the blood remains infected. This exudation causes the form*'

scratched off the flesh is left raw and more susceptible to other infection-
It can very readily be seen then that to produce a cure the circulation must
be purified and cleansed. This S. 8.8. will do. It goes down to the very
