A Herd Boy Strangled.
A herd boy lost his life the other
day under painful circumstances near
Geses les Champ Canada. The lad
had been amusing himself tying one
end of a rope to the tail of a cow Le
was minding and passing the other
end round his own neck. The cow
becoming frightened started off at a
gallop and before the boy could untie
the cord from his neck he was thrown
down and dragged a long distance.
When the animal was stopped the
boy was picked up a mangled corpse.
ECHOES FROM WEST END
H’dq’bs Daily Light. I
West End Oct. 30.1891.1
Who is going to b<* our next alderman-
at-large. No one offers to solve the ques-
tion. I know of none here anxious to be-
come a council member although we
might find a real estate agent who would
patriotically absent himself from his busy
Houston street office to attend council
meetings if proper pressure is brougnt to
bear on him to bring him out. Real
estate men do not own but they control
the bulk of San Antonio's wealth and one
might find profitable employment. If
squandering of money has been indulged
in—as has been charged—one of the du
ties of the new aiderman will be to work
for “an efficient governmenteconomically
administrated” and to show the truth or
falsity of the rumors thickening the city
clouds.
West End has no objection as to the
style of headgear that new alderman may
wear: the hat from l'aree has been worn
threadbare and 1 would not refer to it at
al) were it not right to say that if an-
other imported hat lias to be added to the
covering of the brains of the council a
hat from Europe next to one of American
make would suit better than a sombrero
from Mexico in a Texas city chamber
that nas the honor to have in its domain
so nice a place as West End. Scheid.
Deaths
Oct. 29.—Ramon Galati aged 70
years disease of bladder 317 North
Coucno street ward 3. Deceased
was a stranger from Bau Bueuaveu
tura Mexico.
Oct. 30.—Albert Smith. 3 months
inaluition. Died at Bt. John’s hos-
pital ward 3 buried by the city.
Diamonds in Kentucky.
A company interested in a tract of
laud iu Kentucky not far from Ports-
mouth Onio has brought an expert
irom the diamond fields in Australia
to inspect their property. He says
that there is every reason to believe
that it is a diamond field. The ground
seems to be the crater of an extinct
volcano Over a bushel of small but
fine garnets have been taken out in a
few days’ search and one of them is
pronounced by Cincinnati lapidarh 8
to be worth seveial hundred dollars
Committed Murder to Go to a Circus.
Alfred Russell and Thomae Lawton
are under arrest at Colorado Springs
Colo charged with the murder of
John Heining on the night of August
7th last and both have made a partial
confession of the deed. Each man
claims that the other shot Heming
and forced him to participate in the
deed. The assassins wanted money
to go to the circus and agreed to bold
up any one they might meet. Lawton
is 19 years old and Russell is 24
There was a reward of $5OO offered by
the Rapid Transit company and $lOO
by R. J. Eaton secretary of state.

the stores are open till midnight and

body takes a siesta they are locked
up.

Three Babies Burned
Three children were burned to
death on the Crew’s plantationacross
the river from Helena Ark. The pa
rents of the children left them iu the
house while they went out in the
field to work. The children were or-
dered to bar the door to keep the
house warm. Flames were noticed
coming from the house soon after but
no one was able to break open the
doors. The house fell in and the
three children were cremated.
It was Loaded.
Edward George a Cincinnati youth
and some companions found a bomb
a paste-board affair on the campus
where some fireworks were exploded
the night before. Eddie was curious
to know whether it was loaded and
concluded to try it with a match. He
was satisfied instantly and bis com-
panions carried him home. It is
thought that he will recover but
whether he will ever have the use of
his eyes ag'»in is doubtful.
Smuggling Horses Eom Mexico.
From the h’cago Blade:
Henry Terrell deputy United
States attorney for the Ban Antoulo
Texas district states that there is a
heavy business in smuggling horses
aud cattle from Mexico into Texas
Since the passage of the McKinley
bill which places a duty of 30 per
cent per nead on cattle the smugglers
have found the inducement to carry on
a profitable business irresistible. It is
a hard matter to get all the offenders
owing to the fact that the river is a'
a low stage during the greater part of
the year and the animals are driven
to its banks and allowed to stray
across. When they reach this side
they are again rounded up and sold
at a big profit.
New Proverbs.'
As a pink pearl iu a scullion’s ear
so is a fair woman without a good
dressmaker.
W hoeo telleth the truth concerning

to heavy damages.
Better is a chop with a peer than a
seven and six penny dinner with a
person of no posiiion.
