to a meat wagon. An electric car
on the Colerain avanue line came
gliding along.
Fizz ! Bang! Rickety-rick!
The startled equine was dashing
over Twelfth street toward Vine.
Pedestrians on either side of
Twelth street stopped and watched
the fiery untamed steed as it dash-
ed into the doorway of the West-
ern German bank at Twelfth and
Vine. Officer Jack Brenneman
came along and it was all over.

fear about the safety of their
money.—Exchange.

had the woman out of danger al-
though she was unconscious when

COLORED CITIZENS ENRAGED. |
A Mass Meeting Called to Consider
the Harris Murder.
The colored citizens of San An-
tonio since the murder of Ander-
son Harris have been enraged and
much talk of lynching Brown and
Vidal has been indulged in. Yes-
terday afternoon several thousand
circulars were distributed over the
city reading as follows:

Antonio and Bexar county is here-1
by called to meet at the Eureka J

derson Harris and to pass resolu-j
tions of condolence to the bereaved

There has been considerable talk
also since the crime was commit-i
ted relative to the queer actions of i
Mrs. Harris as Austin Brown
called on her the morning after the ■
murder and the two engaged in a
lengthy conversation privately. 1
Some of the authorities talked se-j
