CITY HALL HAPPENINGS.
Ben F. Johnson Registers a Little
Objection—Notes.
Last evening Acting Mayor El-
mendorf sent communications to
the various job printing houses
except the Light job office
asking for bids on 5000 sheets to
be furnished the city assessor.
Ben F. Johnson of Johnson Bros’.
Printing company visited the
city hall this morning to ascertain
whether or not the city has a right
to advertise for bids for job work
when a contract for all work has
been entered into and the bond
put up. He was informed that the
bid of Johnson Bros. did notspeci-
fy prices for sheets such as are to
be printed and therefore he could
claim no right to the work. Coun-
cil for Mr. Johnson claims he is
entitled to the work and a thor-
ough test of the law and contract
will be made.
Mayor George Paschal sent a
telegram to friends in the city
yesterday stating that he will be
home Saturday night.

The Missing Boy Returned.
It will be (remembered by the
Light readers that about 2 weeks
ago the young son of J. A. M.
Thompson suddenly disappeared
from his home at No. 431 Soledad
street and his relatives feared for
his safety thinking that perhaps
he had been molested by a gang of
negroes who had had a combat
with him. Yesterday however
the lad turned up and said he had
been on a visit to strangers in
Waco. The father reprimanded
the boy for his conduct and as a
result he is again missing. He left
the house about 6 o’clock last eve-
ning and has not since been seen.
His father thinks he is on his way
to Chicago.

CHEAP COAL.
In view of the hard times I have
concluded ty put my Lump XXX
McAlester Indian Territory coal at
the very low price of $7.50 per ton
delivered at any part of the city
within reasonable distance. As
this is the very best coal that
comes to San Antonio by all odds
the public can have now no good
reason for not burning it.
I also have a stock of Pennsylva-
nia Nu t and Egg A nth rac i te whi ch
I shall be pleased to furnish to
those who use this class of coal.
All orders will be promptly tilled.

A Dangerous Place.
Crockett street opposite the new
Beauregard place is in a dangerous
and disgraceful state. Now that the
sidewalk is made that part of the
street recently purchased by the
city is left in a rugged condition
and a pipe about two feet high pro-
jects from its midst. < >ll a dark
night this might create serious
damage to traffic. This unsightly
obstruction could be removed by
two or three hours work by the
Street Commissioner’s force and
should be immediately done.
More Tramps and Tramps.
The acting chief of police Cap-
tain Jesse A. Bennett yesterday
received a telegram that another

from Del Rio and would arrive
here yesterday. The captain de-
tailed a number of police officers to
arrest the gang as a telegram was

the number had committed a rob-
bery. They were not arrested how-
ever as they alighted from their
box car before they reached San
Antonio.
He is Twenty-two.

his twenty-second birthday anni-
versary on Wednesday night at his
residence No. 631 Crockett street

freshments constituted the pleas-
antness of the evening.

The New Stables.
A Light reporter visited Engine
House No-4 on the corner of San
Pedro avenue and Romana streets
yesterday afternoon and was shown
the new stable for the police pa-
trol wagon horses. The room is
large and four stalls have been
built in modern style with soft
dirt bedding. There is a neat
apartment for the harness and a
room in which the wagon can be
washed. It is a complete stable
in every way and the patrol hor-
ses will be properly cared for this
winter.
A Bold Robbery.
Sneak thieves entered the_ house
of Eva Doyle on South San Saba
street Wednesday and stole sev-
eral suits of costly underclothing
some rugs and ten pairs of lace
curtains which were highly val-
ued. The matter was immediately
referred to the city detectives and
an investigation has been made
which may prove successful as the
officers are of the belief that the
right party is suspected and are on-
ly waiting for sufficient evidence
to warrant an arrest.
