Says He Was Robbed.

A greenhorn from the country was at
police station this morning complaining
to Detective Hughes that he had been
robbed of $50 in greenbacks last night at
the Fashion theatre. He said he went
there early last night with Sl5 in silver
and $50 In greenbacks. lie spent the
silver and was robbed of the greenbaoks
he says. lie says he don't expect to get
the money back, but the pocket book he
lost contained n pawn ticket on Franks
pawn shop for valuable gold watch be-
longing to friend. The man Is stopping
at the Central hotel and registers from
Rossville.
Harry Thornton and others who were
about the theatre and wine rooms last
night, say that the man was very drunk
and spent his money very lavishly, not
counting 1t when he drew 1t forth to pay
for the many bottles of wine with which
he treated the crowd around him, and 1t
Is well known fact that 1t takes but
few bottles of wine TO cause sum of
money like this to disappear. 1t is the
same old story of the fool and his money,
and If he really did lose that amount.
the wisest course would be to take his
loss phllosophically and say no more
about 1t. One thing, however, Is certain
that no blame can be attached to the
proprietors or employees of the Fashion
theatre, which popular place of enter
tainment is conducted on an admirable
system of management. When 1t Is
known that champagne In the wine
room is sold at the rate Of Sc n bottle, 1t
can easily be conceived that man
could easily spend large amount II so
disposed. All through the establish
ment notices are posted on the walls in
prominent letters, stating the scale of
charges, and attention is drawn by the
would be purchaser to the fact.

already said, but for the few questions
he asks If the county furnishes feed for
the horses of the cook and the steward,
will say that during my adminstra-
ton the cook and steward always bought
them in town with their own money.
As for the vegetables sold by me from
the poor house, was authorized to sell
the surplus aud turn over the money to
the County court, for which | hold re-
ceipts. am satisfied that the citizens
OF San Antonio after reading Mr.. G.. G.
Braden's letter have satisfied themselves
about him, as he surely says that loud
quarreling brought him to his window
with gun In readiness. but seeing the
idiot, George Washington, making his
way to the city, instead of trying to
stop him, let him pass, causing the de-
plorable incident to one of our worthy
officers. Respectfully.
