A MEXICAN OUTRAGE.
An American Pursued and Badly
Beaten.

are f further her particulars ofsthe late alleged
Mexican outrage. Last Friday two work
men at the Atchinson, Topeka and Santa re
round house at Calvert station near mere,
saw two Mexican officers pursuing man
short distance above the house.
The officers fired at the fugitive SIX times
and finally overlook him. They were seen
to strike the man on the head several times
with their revolvers After seizing him they
did not carry him to Ell Paso but crossed the
Rio Grande by fording. The officers Sald
the prisoner was an escaped Mexican thiet
and although Santa Fe workmen knew the
Mexicans had no right to pursue a 1ugutlve
into Texas, they did not interfere because
Now comes the discovery that the fugitive
was an American, Columbus Brown, born
and raised in California. 1t seems. Brown
had been charged by store keeper IN faSo
del Norte with an attempt to steal a snawl
for which he was convicted on the store
keepers statement and sentenced to work on
the streets.
He sought the first opportunity to escape,
and was pursued as previously stated. When
the Santa Fe workmen saw Brown 1t was al
ter he had been cruelty beaten. His lace
was covered with blood. and he was forcibly
dragged along by the two officers: Not be-
ing able to distinguish the mans features,
the statement was readily accepted that
Brown was Mexican.
The Whereabouts Oh DroWn Slilco Hio hlu-
mapping is mystery, and efforts to, aseer-
tain where he had been incarcerated, thus
far have failed Two reporters crossed the
river last night, and tried to ascertain from
the prison guards the names Of the officers
who had pursued Brown into Texas, but the
guards would not say anything.
The affair has aroused great deal OF IN
dignation. There is talk of indicting the
Mexican officers as soon as their names are
ascertained and then formally demanding
their extradition. The reporter ascertained
that Brown had vehemently denied the
peared to be without friends or money. Con-
sui Brigham has taken hold of the case and
is trying to find the present whereabouts of

The young man in the case is a member of

leading French lawyer of the city. The
young lady is Miss Josie Bearce, II years of
age. Belleaux before his departure to Au-

years, had paid considerable attention to
Miss Bearce, against the wishes OF her par,

that the young lady was visiting few miles
from the city. Procuring team he went
there and induced her to leave with him. In
innate friends of both parties on the train

The Planets in October.

Uranus is morning star in October. Jupi-
ter is evening star until the 9th, and then be-
gins his course as morning star. Saturn is
morning star and is the most eligibly situat-
ed for observation of any of the planets dur
ing October. This beautiful planet may be
easily found, for Castor and Pollux are on
the north, and Procyon on the south, and he
is the only bright star between them. Venus
and Neptune are morning stars, while Mars
and Mercury are evening stars. The Octo-
Der moon fulls on the 10Th. The apparent
movements of the sun will interest the anna
teur astronomer. During October, the days
continue to lessen rapidly. On the 1st, the
length of the day was II hours A. minutes T;
on the 31st it will be 10 hours 81 minutes.

AN ALLEGED DEFALcATIoN
In the Post office at Brooklyn, N. Y.

New YORK, Oct. A somewhat sensa-
tional story is current in regard to an alleged
defalcation in the Brooklyn Post Office, but
nothing positive concerning it is known.
Some time ago Colonel Charles Morton, who
was assistant postmaster under Postmaster
McLeer, ,disappered suddenly while an inves-
tigation was being made of his accounts.
Later he returned and was arrested charged
with having embezzled some $500. He was
tried and honorably discharged. Recently
Postmaster Hendricks, who succeeded Nc
Leer, discovered that large number of
packages of stamps in the safe had been
tampered with, and that packages which
should have contained twos held only ones.
He sent for Colonel De Bevoise, who had
been chief clerk up to within,a months ago,
and the latter said he would make good
whatever deficiency there might be in the
accounts. Last. Saturday COL De Bevoise
died suddenly and it is rumored that he COM
mitted suicide, though it was given out that
he died of heart disease. Many believed
that De Bevoise mixed up the accounts to
shield Morton's Irregularities, hoping that
the deficiency could be made up, in despair
of which he finally took his own life. No
one knows the exact amount of the deficien-
cy nor who is responsible for it. ALI of the
story that is known is based on runlor and
positive information is not to be Obtained.
