About the year 1851 the most influential
man in San Antonio was an alleged desperate

Antonio with a fearful record. He enjo, ed

so of men, and was respected accordingly

"How much does horse know ~
That was the question | asked Professor
Bartholomew, the successful horse-'rainer,
one afternoon. as met him in the hall
where he exhibited his educated horses

A Thrilling Lake Adventure.

The death Of Mrs Emily Johns recalls
one of the most remarkable incidents of
navigation on Lake Erie Of which there is
any record or recollection. Mrs. Johns was
an aunt Of the late Captain Gilman Apple
by who commanded crafts OF different kinds
on the lake for more Than forty Years. In
1910 Captain Appleby lived at Conneaut
Ohio, and his aunt, then young woman,
was visiting at his home. She lived near
Buffalo. Captain Appleby owned the schoon-
er State Of Connecticut, and was building
at Couneau, a steamboat afterwards known
as the North America. While Mrs Johns
was at her nephew's home she suddenly be-
came very homesitk and no solicitation could
induce her to remain at Conueaut. Her
nephew was desirous that she should remain
a few days until the North America was
ready for launching, and return to Buffalo on
board the vessel. but she would not do
so, he placed her in charge Of the crew of
his schooner which vas ready to start for
Buffalo. Two DAYS aiterward the crew of
the schooner returned to Conneaut in annth-
er vessel. They reported to Captain Apple
by that Just after they had passed Erie they
were caught in one Of the sudden and yio-
lent squalls 10 when Lake Erie il liable
and which are terror 10 all sailors on the
lakes" The schooner was capslzed, but

time. did not sink Mi. Johns was in the
cabin, and the crew. believing she was

selves. hurried away III the schooner, boat, ,

.,The Deuce of Hearts.n

The "Deuce OF Hearts" Will BIO given at
Ford's next week. This play is the great
comedy hit OF tho season. Critics say It has
not been excelied for years, and predict that
II will pass into the very short list OF genuine
American standard comedies. The author is
Mr.. John Harrison. He has chosen that favorite
topic OF modern farce, the superiority OF
woman VS., the helplessness OF man, and has
worked out the theme Of misguided woman
hAter being brought to his senses In manner
that reflects the greatest credit upon his
abilities for dramatic composition. The play
10 witty and sparkling, clean In plot, dialogue
ana situation and Is bound TO give enjoyment
10 all those fortunate enough 10 witness It's
rzgae rformance. The press is unanimous In Its
praise. II is doubtful II any new play OF late
days has ever received such unstinted and un-
qualified appreciation. The company, headed
by the Baltimore favorlte, Mr.. George ElesOn,
and that charming soubrette, Miss Dalte, Is
PROFESSIONALLY one OF tho best on tho road.

VIOLENCE WON'T BE TOLERATED.
People on Strikes Must Act Within
the Law.

The case of Thomas Reeder, an appeal from
the Police Court, charged with assault aud
battery on Henson Makel, came on for trial
before Justice wylie, In the Criminal Court,
this morning.
In the court below Henfon Perry was charged
with him In making the assault, but was dis.
missed by Judge Smell, and Reeder was fined
$50.
The testimony developed the fact that the
trouble grew out OF tho recent hod'carrterS'
strike and showed that Makel was working for
50 a day on building In Washington street;
that Reeder and Perry came there aud tried
10 induce him to quit. He refused to do so,
and Reeder knocked him down.
The jury found him guilty.
MIR. J. Med. Darlington, counsel for the dc.
PENDANT, admitted that there had been q tech-
meal assault, but thought the tlue imposed
excessive, and that Judge Smell In passing
sentence had been misled as to the story that
the hod-carriers (union and non unionl, and
asked that lighter sentence be Imposed.
Judge Wylle said that punishment was In
nicted for two reasons; one or which was an
example, and II seemed that the sentence
came under this head. Here was a man work.
ing for wages satisfactory to himself. This
was an Independent country, and because Il
man would not work for wages to please
and beaten. Such conduct was
not to be tolerated for an instant. These
were laws they must obey and that man had
the right TO work for what wages he chose.
The only fault found was that the court be-
low did not impose punishment enough. II
was perfectly satisfactory 10 his mind
that the assault was premeditated. The two
men had hung around the neighborhoOd dur
ing the day watching for the opportunity, aud
when 1t came the attack was made.
He then sentenced tho defendant to sis
months In Jail, and said that II ne had another
such case no would double the sentence.
