BUNCO MEN
ARE A LIITTLE TOO
NUMEROUS
"There will certainly be something
doing around this town,” said one of
the night watchmen last night to a
Times reporter, "unless steps are
taken to get rid of these ‘sure thing'
men. 1 have been an officer in this
city for a good many years, hut with-
out a doubt there are more bunco ar-
tists here now than 1 have ever seen
before at one time.
"They are simply coming in bunches
and some of them are mighty tough
customers. One night last week there
was a gang of six in from Colo-
rado. To my certain knowledge two
of them have served sentences in the
penitentiary and one of them is wanted
now for an offense committed in that
state. Two or three nights after that
four more in a hunch came in, and in
fact for about two weeks now they
have been straggling to El Paso until
the town is literally alive with them.
Thev have no money and live from
hand to mouth the* best way they can.
R1 Paso is a mighty convenient place
for these crooks to land in. If they
get into difficulty here they simply
step across the fiver where they are
comnnratively safe."
A number of weeks ago Chief of
Police White commenced a vigorous
fight against the hobo element and
with such good success that he has
succeed in ridding the city of ttiis un-
desirable class. These "sure thing"
men, however, tiro not in the same
category with the hobos, t sually they
are supplied with a small amount, of
money. They dress passably well and
do not resort to the same means of
making a living as the hobo by beg
ging on the street corners. They are
touch us, for we pay the Juarez officials
a certain sum every month to protect
us, and they are doing it. The d—n
Times can roast up and be d—n, it
don't hurt us and it is not going to
make the Juarez officers go back on
ns."
Of course. The Times man did not
place any credence in the claim of the
buncos that'the authorities of Juarez
were receiving hush money from
them, and when those authorities read
this they will be Inclined to make that
town a little too uncomfortable "for
the buncos. Mr. Thrope can point out
the men who claimed to he dividing
their stealings with the Juarez officers.

Houston Man Says He Smuggled
When in El Paso Recently.
it is probable that a Houston Post
reporter will he called upon by a fed-
eral grand jury to give the name of a
man who acknowledges that he en-
gaged in smuggling when in El Paso
recently. The Post says:
“There is no doubt about it,” a gen-
tleman said, who has recently returned
from a trip to El Paso, “smuggling is
a practice the most honest American
will resort to when he gets a fair
chance. I used to read in the papers
about the rich New Yorkers smuggling
in goods from Europe, and blamed
them a great deal for breaking their
country’s laws and defrauding the gov-
ernment of its revenue. But when you
get face to face with it the whole mat-
ter takes on a different complexion.
You get to feel you have a natural
right to bring into this country any-
thing you have bought and paid for,
without paying the government an ad-
ditional bonus. When 1 was in El
Paso and crossed the Rio Grande to
Juarez, I found all the Americans

suit in the district court. The defend-

under cross-examination all day. The

gotten his witness into.
Shortly before the close Burns was
asked what accounts I19 referred to
as having been kept between himself
and Doyle. His reply was that he
could not remember the exact nature
