There is no question but that the city
is infested by an organized band of
burglars, as evidenced by the raids
made recently. There are too many
well dressed loafers lounging about the
ely who have no visible means of sup
port, These parties are far more dam
gerous as Migrants than the tramp
species, and it is time they were re-
ceiving instructions to move
on esterday morning about

nue. and Masten streets awoke to find
burglar inspecting the drawers of the
bureau in the most nonchalent manner.
He carried dark lantern and it was the
strong odor of the OIL that awolIe Mr..
tlippen and his wife. They did not
observe the burglar at first and began to
question each other as to what caused
such smell when the bur-
glar took his leave with A
suddenness truly startling. Mr.. Film
.pen,a soon as he took in the situation,
bounded out Of bed and after the thief,
at whom he fred two pistol shots as he
passed out OF the gate opening on Mas

or not his shots took effect. The burg

and pulling the bolt. which enabled him
to gain admission by hoisting it. He
lighted the gas in the dining-room and
hall, and had evidently been moving
about with the utmost freedom. Several
small articles were missed from the
house.
The bedroom of Mr.. w. Weeks, was
burglarized and an overcoat and a lot of
clothing stolen.
About the hour of 4 am. a
burglar invaded the premises of
Mrs. @. II. Waldbridge, corner OF Lamar
street and Ross avenue, and taking a
shutter from a window of Mrs. VALID
bridges bedroom, attempted to raise
the sash, when she fred two shots at
him, one efwhich took effect, knocking
him down for time. Blood was found
on the spot where he was
seen to fall. az could have
killed him easily" said Mrs. Waldbridge
to a HERALD reporter, "but he was then
at the east window and / was afraid |
would shoot some one in the next
house. The burglar wore a cap and
carried a darklantern, from which he
flashed the light several times through
my ROOM"
Mrs. Waldbridge is prepossessing
little blonde, full of spirit and nerve.
1t is hardly probable that she will again
be molested by burglars. The burglar
was probably the same one that visited
the residence of Mr.. Flippen,

CONCLUSIVE CASE OF CAT
IN THE GREAT COTTON swlNpLE.
Some Feionious Feline Must Have Eaten
Up Col. Tom Browns Overcoat,
With Bogus Bills of Lading
aud Other Proofs.
The Cotton Cases.

The interest in the cotton swindling
cases was considerably heightened yes,
serday morning when the startling news
spread over the city that the valuable
papers OF evidence, consisting of the
original bogus bills Of lading on which
Joe Lohnstein, who is on trial, procured
the money; letters from the defendant
70 parties to whom he negotiated the
bills Of lading, and stubbs of the
bills OF lading issued by Il. ID. Easton,
one OF the eonspiratOrs who was agent
OF the Texas IL Pacific railway at Sher-
man, had been stolen from Col. Tom
Brown, the roads attorney, who is as
sisting County Attorney Clint in the
prosecution of the cases. Yesterday
morning Col. Brown, who is stopping at
the Grand Windsor MOTEL, arose about
O'Clock, and placing the papers which
had grown to be good-sized bundle
which he had placed under
his pillow on retiring, in his overcoat
pocket he went to early breakfast.
There were only three persons at break
fast, all gentlemen wen known to him
as men Of irreproachable character,
he nung ms overcoat in the cloak room
ADJOINING the breakfast room and placed
ms hat on the same hook. When he
had finished breakfast he discovered
that the coat, 8 red brown, was missing,
ana with 1t the valuable papers. His
nat alone hing on the hook.
IL was plain that soma
interested party or hired thief had
made away with the coat and papers.
None OF the three gentlemen at break
last had taken it through mistake, and
the county and city officials were at once
notlhed OF what had occurred. The news
thcf tnA nYi ni I'M oil fra, 2.
tnese famous cases had been stolen was
street talk, and the court
room was crowded with spec
tators, who listened more eagerly
Than ever 10 the testimony of witnesses.
One or two witnesses for the prosecu-
ton were examined, when il became
apparent that the lost papers were nee
essary III the successful prosecution of
the case, and court adjourned to- PM,
IN order to give the attorneys for the
prosecution time TO consult, When
court convened County Attorney Clint
stated that it was impossible
for them to proceed further at that iunc-
ture, and court adjourned until 0
O'CLOCK this morning to give them a
showing to regain the lost papers. The
indications are that the great cotton
swindling cases will end in a grand
farce, not occasioned by the want of
energetic and able prosecution, but by
csrlesshess on the part of one of the at
torneys and the part played by the un-
known hief.
The officers are doing their utmost to
ferret out the matter, but with little
snow Oh success, as the coat and papers
are, no boubt, by this time in ashes.
County Attorney Clint says that The
loss OF the papers will not materially af-
1ect the case and that he will proceed
with the prosecution.

The Late Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines.

The recent death of Mrs. Myra Clark
Gaines, in New Orleans, calls to mind
sequence of facts hardly matchable in
their interest. Mrs. Gaines was so years
old when she died, and great part of
her life was spent in litigation in the
courts of the United States.
A little more than eighty-two years
ago an Indian trader, of Mississippi,
Daniel Clark by name, went to Phila-
delphia 10 spend the winter in that CITY.
While there he wooed and won as his
companion, a French woman named
Zulime Carrier, who had been living
with a man named La Grange, also of
Gallo nationality. In its opinion on
the facts stated, which took place in
1905, the supreme court of the United
States has decided that the woman was
privately married to Clark, and had not
been the wife of La Grange.
Myra Clark, the only child of the
couple subsequently declared TO have
been previously married, was born in
the year 1906. Clark sent Zulime to New
Orleans, became engaged to be married
and denied that he had been married to
Myra's mother. This woman returned
from New Orleans and endeavored to
prove her marriage to Clark, but with
out success.
Clark did not neglect the innocent
Myra, whom he treated like daughter,
and had educated with care. He re.
sumed business as an Indian trader,
making New Orleans his headquarters,
and in time amassed enormous wealth.
He died in 1913, and will was produced
which showed that all his fortune was
left TO his mother and the city of New
Orleans. The executors took care of the
estate and Myra was left penniless.
At 20 years of age she was married to
gentleman named Whitney. Shortly
afterward she contested the will, claim
ing that she was the only Legitimate
daughter of Daniel Clark, and that the
property he had left properly belonged
TO her. Her husband died before the
trial of the suit, which she pushed with
the utmost energy, and when she mar.
ried Gen. Gaines, In second nuptials, he
gave her his best assistance in the
preparation of his wife's case. The trial
came off at New Orleans and Mrs
Gaines was defeated. She then carried
| her case to the supreme court at Wash
, ington, and was again unsuccessful. Ii
1852 her second husband died.
Shortly after this date she found 1
will executed by her father, which Ger
titled that she was her only child, anC
creating her his sole heiress. With thi,
document to strengthen her case, sh,
applied to the court in New Orleans tn,
: second time, and los. as before. In 1851
however, the supreme court of tn
United States, TO which she had ap
pealed after her defeat in the lowe
court, gave judgment confirming tn
will she discovered In the beginning O
I her second widowhood, and giving he
) the whole property left by her father
VIII With the optbreak S of the war came in
evitable delay, and Mrs. Myra CLAIR
/, Gaines died without having receive,
from tho city of New Orleans anythin
; like the property and money t. whic
, the long delayed favorable judgment Il

interested in horses, arrived in the city
yesterday, fresh from tour of the west
ern counties and his rancho. He re-
ports that stockmen are much de-
pressed, owing to the unparalleled loss
OF stock from the cold weather.
he is of the opinion that the
sheep herds Will almost be annihilated
while nearly one-half of the cattle,
which are in poor condition, will die,
II me cold weather continues few DAYS
more. he says that even the horses,
which stand the cold better than other
stock, are dying in large numbers.
