tall handsome young man stood beside her
with his arm tenderly encircling her slender
waist. He was evidently trying to comfort her
with hopes of rescue; but the sweet creature
saw to plainly that unless something unlocked

bottom of the great ocean, far away from
sweet home and dear friends. The young fell

were lost when one of the sailors raised a loud
cry, and looking over the bow of the boat the
passengers saw something dark standing out
toward them, and as the vessel drifted a little
nearer, all saw that ii was Il great sign hang

were these words: Emerson holds the bridge

Clothing for the Million.

The chief attraction at present is the
mammoth display of gentlemen's cloth
ing at Mr.. L. WOlfson's White Elephant
clothing emporium on Main plaza. 1t is
rot saying too much that every gentle
man In the state could be furnished with
a suit of clothes and then there would be
plenty left for cow boys; and these are
fastidiOus, too. The fact is, WOlfsOn
keeps himself supplied from tirst-class
manufactures only and hence can supply
the demand for superior article for less
money than 1t can be procured anywhere
else. Thin and light fabrics in colOrs
and black are at present exhibited, and
owing to the heated term have big
run; seersucker, alpaca, light merlnO and
large number Of fine materials can be
had in suits or separate pieces. Dress
and wedding suits in the various grades
of fine quality in texture and make up
to the finest "dOeskin" and imported
broadclOth are among the specialties in
the immense stock now displayed. There
lie no excuse for anyone to go ragged or
badly dressed while WOlfson holds out
inducements in low figures for dress
goods and ready-made suits by the car
load and enough to clOthe every gentle
man In the state. 7-l2-tf

to see men in a state Of beastly intoxica-
ton, but 1t Is enough to make the angels
weep to see woman dead drunk"

Burglars Caught.

Bob jackson, Il negro employe at the
international railway freight office,
thought he would burgle little last
night, and accordingly cut the blinds Of
Moore's lottery office, on Aoequia street,
with his knife, crawled partly in and
grabbed Col. Moore's pantaloons lying
across the bed on which the colonel was
asleep. The light was In the Office, and
Col. Moore awoke and frightened the
burglar away. The colonel recognized
the man, however, and knew him, and
Officer Massey arrested him later. He
dropped his knife In his fight, and this
is held as evidence against him. A man
who has a good position and will yet
steal ought to go over the road.
Assistant Marshal Cardenas, yester-
day, arrested a negro named Jim Har-
per, who stole $40 from Garroni's Clip
per hall saloon last week. THE LIGHT
published that negro was frightened
off from back window by Mr.. Garroni
at the time, but II was not known then
that while GarrOni was watching the
back another burglar entered by the
front and committed the theft.

Martin Killing, Aug kissing and Val
Gorrell, chartered a team and went out

Justice Adams Court.

At 8 O'Clock Saturday evening Will
liam Niederluck, alias William Miller,
Bill Whitford and Ed. Levy, were ar
raigned before Justice Adam, and the
defendants having waived examination,
the justice fixed the bond of each one at
the sum Of 81, 600 and being unable to
give the bonds, the parties were CON-
mitted to the county Jail to await the
action OF the grand jury.
This morning at 10 O'Clock Justice
Adam called his civil docket-there be-
ing As cases upon 1t. Sixteen judgments
were rendered by default or confession,
but as some Of the parties object to pub
LEGATION of the judgments against them,

The Belknaps Called Out.

The Belknaps Rifles were aroused
from their slumbers at the armory on
Houston street about 2 O'Clock this
morning by a woman's cries OF "help
helpl Belknap Rifles" The boys, who
are always gallant and the first to res
pond in cases OF necessity, were doubly
prompt In their response this time as 1t
was woman's voice calling. Hastily
attiring themselves, Indian fashion, In
their blankets, they flew in the direction
OF the cries, which came from small
room nearly opposite the armory. They
arrived in time to see Officer Seffel at
the door, and woman inside was telling
him not to enter. A little girl was the
one who had called out the Belknaps.
The cause of the outcry could not be
learned, as Seffel was dumb as an oyster,
but man named McClelland was
arrested and fined this morning before
the recorder for being drunk, and 1t Is
supposed this charge was preferred
by the officer in order to hide a graver
ofiense committed, or being attempted
by him.
