Fatty McGinnis, the notorious thug and
thief, who has been bounced from nearly
all the cities of this great Union, and to
whom our mayor gave walking papers n
few days since, was heard from yesterday
morning. He wired one of his comrades
here, yesterday, from FL Paso, saying
that he had arrived safely at that
point and liked the looks of
things there. He further stated that the
outlook was good, which means many Lard
blows on his part, and the robbing Of every
one that comes his way. The mayor of III
Palso had best take this famous character in
hand at once and shove him on to the Pa.
ctc board.

The new police board has met and cut
off three heads from the force, and among
them one office, who was the last that any
one expected who knew the guardians of
the peace and their habits. Three of them
went, two OF whom have been on the force
for years, and the records of the
court and the criminals they
have rounded up show their
good work. They have performed their
duty faithfully, going through the hot sun,
sleet and storm in the discharge of their
office to protect the interests of the city.
All of them have more or less faults, which
is general with the human family, yet it
