BOY FOILS A
HOLDUP MAN
The wit of Earl Jones 13 years old
son of Thomas Jones 219 Burnett
street formerly with the Pacific Ex-
press company foiled a holdup game
on avenue D last night. Earl who de-
livers packages for the Wagner drug
store was riding his wheel down ave-
nue D when he was accosted by a
pedestrian and asked for “a light”
from his bicycle lamp. The man ap-
proached and quickly gripping the
boy by the lapel of the coat asked him
if he had any money. Receiving a
negative reply the man quickly
reached in the boy’s pocket exclaim-
ing "Don’t lie to me.” He found no
money and allowed the boy to ride
on. After he was a safe distance away
Earl reached into his other pocket
and assured himself that the 14 he
had there was still sate. The boy is
a grandson of A. B. Smith. 326

OIL COAT ON
LOSOYA STREET
The street department thLs morning
made a practical demonstration of
the mayor’s plan for oiling the ma-
cadam streets when a coating of
crude oil was sprayed on the newly
laid gravel pavement on Losoya street
In the rear of the Grand opera house.
This part of the street was origin-
ally paved with wood blocks which
wore out and recently they were
taken up and igravel substituted. The
gravel was alternately wet and rolled
until Its surface was as smooth and
almost as hard as asphalt. The final
finish was given today with a coat
of oil.
This is the treatment that was used
on West Commerce street between
Military and Market plazas and it has
worn well. The mayor is now consid-
ering a scheme to oil the macadam
streets in tne residence sections.

COOL WEATHER NEAR.
Low Pressure Mav Bring Rains for
San Antonio
The low pressure storm area wfilch
was central yesterday over the pan-
handle of Texas has spread out today
until it covers practically the whole
southwest and middle states with its
center extending from Corpus Christi
to Oklahoma.
It has brought very heavy rains tn
some -parts of Texas and the states
to the north and east of't and Major
Buell the local forecaster says it may
bijing rain to San Antonio. However
he says the force of this storm has
greatly diminished by being diffused
over a greater area.
“High winds are still probable for
states north and east of us” he said
"and another storm is developing over
the Rocky mountain plateau region
that will probably follow right behind
this one. bringing colder weather and
rain with it. I look for cooler weather
tonight and tomorrow.”
The temperature this morning was
seven or eight degrees lower than it
was yesterday thus fulfilling the pre-
diction of yesterday.
