WHO IS SHOOTING AT NIGHT
IN THE SEVENTH WARD?
Mysterious Discharge of Fire-
arms at all Hours Leads
to Many Complaints.
Residents of tbe Seventh ward are
loud in their complaints over a lot of
promiscuous shooting that has been go-
ing on in the vicinity of that section
between Labor street and the Southern
Pacific track. Almost every night sev-
eral shots are tired it is said and Mon-
day night shortly after sundown four
shots were fired somewhere betweeu
Devine and Leigh streets and east of
Labor street. Yesterday morning about
1 o’clock two more shots were fired
and at 10 o’clock yesterday forenoon
two more shots were fired all in the
same neighborhood. Last Saturday
night no less than half a dozen shots
were fired in the vicinity of Labor
street and Callaghan avenue. No re-
port of this shooting has ever been
made by the police and it has been
suggested that a plain clothes man be
stationed in that vicinity in the hope
of locating the shooters and giving
them their just desserts.
BUGGY MADE TOPLESS
WHEN AWNING HIT IT
An odd accident occurred yesterday
afternoon about 4:30 o’clock as a buggy
was passing along South Alamo street.
An awning such as rolls up in the
shape of a curtain was hanging from a
gallery over the side walk on the east
side of the street to keep off the af-
ternoon sun and as a buggy was
passing along in front of the place a
gust of wind swept into the street the
lower end of the curtain which was not
fastened.
A heavy pole at the bottom of the
curtain struck the buggy top and tore
it completely off the buggy together
with the seat on which the driver was
sitting. But for the fact that the horse
hitched to the buggy was a gentle ani-
mal there would have been a runaway.
The accident happened so quickly
that when a street car came along about
that time the conductor thought the
car had run into the buggy and caused
the wreck and at once got busy taking
down names of witnesses. The street
rar however had nothing to do with
the accident.
COUNTY LETS CONTRACT
FOR POOR FARM WORK
Loessberg & Reinbold on a bid of
$713 yesterday were awarded the
contract to build the stables and barn
at the new poor farm located on the
land recently bought by the county from
Dr. William Meier. Construction work
is to begin at once.
After the meeting yesterday in
which the county commissioners over
which Judge Phil H. Shook presided
had awarded the contract the personnel
of the court went in a body to inspect
the work which is being done at the
place. A hospital is already practically
completed a windmill and pumps and
tanks are installed and everything is
ready to begin actual construction of
the main buildings. Bids for this work
will be sought in the near future.
Mayor William Lusk of Brenham is
a visitor to the city today. Mayor
Lusk says Brenham like San Antonio
and all Texas cities is taking on rapid
growth.
There are
Reasons
Why so many people have
ready-at-hand a package of
Post
Toasties
The DISTINCTIVE
FLAVOUR delights the
palate.
The quick easy serving
right from the package— re-
quiring only the addition of
cream or good milk is an im-
portant consideration when
breakfast must be ready “on
time.”
The sweet crisp food is
universally liked by children
and is a great help to Moth-
ers who must give to the
youngsters something whole-
some that they relish.
The economical feature
appeals to every one—par-
ticularly those who wish to
keep living expenses within
a limit.
Post Toasties are espe-
cially pleasing served with
fresh sliced peaches.

Six Thousand is
Given to Eagles In
About One Minute
August Busch Son of Famous
Brewer Does Something
That Wins Applause.
The San Antonio aerie of Eagles has
received word of one princely individ-
ual gift of $(>000 made by August A.
Busch of St. Louis to St. Louis Aerie
No. 41 to complete the sum devoted to
prize drill awards at the Eagles’ con-
vention recently held iu the big Mis-
souri city. The story of the contribu-
tion is interesting.
James C. Shanessy president of the
St. Louis aerie was called to the tele-
phone at headquarters Monday of con-
vention week. The speaker was August
A. Busch son of Adolphus Busch and
first vice president of the Anheuser-
Busch Brewing association.
“Hello” he said. “Is this Mr. Shan-
essy f”
“Yes” was the reply.
“I understand that you Eagles need
a little money” said the brewer.
“We certainly do” was the response.
“How much!” asked 3usch.
“Well” said Shanessy “five of us
raised $12000 toward the prize money
for this convention but we need $6OOO
more. ’ ’
“Six thousand!” said Busch.
“Yes—six thousand” replied Shan-
essy.
“It’s yours” said the brewer. “I’ll
mail you a check at once. St. Louis is
a good town and the Eagles are good
fellows. It would never d> to have
them go away and knock the fourth city
in the United States.”
Shanessy hung up the receiver with a
trembling hand after a vain attempt at
thanks and rushed out to spread tho
joyful tidings.
Busch went later to Faust’s restau-
rant accompanied by Robert W. Aull
former park commissioner of St. Louis.
There he met James C. Shanessy Wil-
liam J. Flynn Louis Geismann R'udolph
I. Hollman John F. Eleter of Kansas
City and Senator Thomas F. Grady of
New York who had assembled to con-
fer about the matter of the deficit.
“I will make good any deficit vou
may have” said Busch.
