A QUEER TRANSACTION.
A Former Resident of san Antonio in ia
For Making Counterfeit Money.

A Former Resident ofSan Antonio in Jail
For Making Counterfeit Money.
Some time ago an aged man named
Phillip Mengle, struck the city, and for
"A while worked as mason. He mace
frequent visits 10 Austin. and on one OF
these was recognized rs being the part
ner of he notorious cOunterfeiter, Ben
Burst, who is now doing time in the
penitentiary, and Deputy United states
Marshal Bales had his eyes on him,
but could not catch him in no crooked
business. Then by an accident Of fate
Mengie removed to Austin, where he
worked as n mason. Suddenly he wanted
more retired place, and hired himself
to Theisen, a briCkmAker OF Bull creek,
in the cedar brakes, to chop wood.
Bales suspected something was on the
move and got Il detective employed at
the same place as fellow wood cutter.
The place is retired and suitable for Sc
cret operations Soon Mengie proposed
to make counterfeit coin. his cOmpan
ion assented. Then Mengie produced
the outfit for the work, and il was ar
ranged that they would meet secretly on
Sunday and 90 10 business. Mengie was
there at the appointed time, and not sus-
peCting anything went TO work coming
half dollars and nickles. suddenly
Bales appeared on the scene and arrest
ed the old cOunterfeiter red-handed, rs
it were. Mengie said that the wood
chopper detective got the outfit and
brought him into the nefariouS business,
but this is disputed MCngie is now in
Jail, not being able to put up the $1,000
bail that is required to secure his pres
ence in the United States court.

A Young Criminal.

When the little pilferer, Buster Ros-
enberg, was placed on trial for yagrancy
in recorders court he made great show
Of innocence, and resOrted finally to the
sympathy" dodge, breaking out and
crying loudly when Capt. Hughes, the
detective, stated where his mother lived
and what she did for a living. The Cap
tain gave her pretty hard name, saying
her associates were very bad of the
lowest, in fact, and that she lived oppo-
site the Washington saloon, IN what is
known as The Corral" and that she
lived off Of what Buster stole for her.
The boy is hard case, scarcely IL years
Of age, yet with the look Of hardened
criminal, while disease of the worst sort
is plainly depicted on his mothers face,
and degrading death has already
stamped its mark there.
Buster was convicted and fined $40 or
2Odays in Jail. He will no doubt serve
these days, as his mother can never raise
so much money, it appears.

Courthouse Gossip.

The talk is that the Union Democratic
Club is opposed to the plan of allowing
the MeXiCanS to control and rule the
democratic party as they have done in
the past, ana that ii is hostile 10 both
Callaghan and CassianO. There is n
gOOdly number of the members of the
club that will be in the convention, ana
it is said they will kick like forty mules,
when the MeXicans attempt to run the
convention; and will bolt, in case CASH
anO, Sanchez, Martinez, etc, are nOmi-
mated by the convention, which meets
on Thursday. On the other hand, if
Jose CassanO is not nominated, il is
thought bolt will take place. and that
the ticket will be badly beaten, through
the detection of the Mexican vote.
1t is reported that Ferguson, is a can
didate for the nomination for the legis-
lature.
The idea is expressed, that. inasmuch
as the Democratic Union Club is op-
posed to the tamale and chile crowd and
rs Oscar BergstrOm is Il leading member
OF that club, that the Mexicans will cast
solid vote against him should he be
dominated for district attorney, which
would certainly defeat him.
If the ticket should be mainly COM
posed of MeXicans, its defeat will be
inevitable since the people are sick of
the rule of minority of the voting
population upon race grounds. and will
vote the ticket down with a rush
1t is predicted that the convention
will be stormy and discOrdant one.
and that harmony between the Two ele-
ments that will he represented on the
floor of the convention, will be sheer
impOssibilty. Oil and water cannot
mingle. A large number of democrats
are opposed TO making nominations.
The convention will prove failure.
Callaghan, Cassiano. Sanchez, Gus
Houston and Fred Cooke will not be
suffered to run the convention. There
will probably be II stormy scene between
the factions.
Candidates are anxiously waiting to
see just what the convention will do.
