The Report of a Few Notes Taken

news it contains, and because it gives
a faint insight into some of the exper-
fences of"us reporters:
SAN ANTONIO, Dec. I, 'ss.
Daily LIGHT:
| am somewhat of o stranger in
your city, and have made but few ac-
quaintances thus far among your
people. / met one of your reporters,
however, Frank c., and as he hap
pened to be from my state, Illinois,
and same town, felt privileged to
keep up the acquain lance, and found
him willing. We had an appoint
ment for today at the LIGHT office,
and called, but did not find him.
He is never in, 1 think. L called
again later, and found him taking a
nap on his desk, after the days work
was done. Accusing him, we went
to dinner, or luncheon, and talked
over the republican news of our old
state. After that we strOlled down
the street, and to show you what
A REPORTERS LIFE
Is like, we had not gone ten steps
when the news came that man had
been killed on the Arkansas Pass rail-
way.
Twill you Gomez" asked the re-
porter. Cert" said L and off we
struck for the scene. We found the
sad news but too true.
Yardmaster Chas. F. Williams, a
young man of about 80 years of age.
while performing one of his many
duties, had been run over and so
seriously mangled that death re-
suited in about two hours, or at
o'clock. He was about to cut off two
cars from moving train and his foot
caught between the main rail and q
guard railn the switch. The train
struck him and threw him
UNDER THE TRUCKS
And several cars passed over his
body from the knee of his right
leg, over his right side. Poor fellow
His relatives live in Michigan. He has
been working in Fort Worth and he
has relatives there. Being member
of the Fort Worth Knights of Pythias
lodge, the Knights of this city took
charge of the victim and conveyed
HIM to the hospital. All night the
brothers watched by his corpse,
awaiting kilograms for the informa-
ton as to the disposal of the body.
Retracing our steps from the scene
of death, we took supper and then
went to Kalteyer's drug store. Here
while the Fashion theatre
BAND WAS PLAYING
On one plaza, and the TivOli band was
gyrating on the other plaza, we met
and | was introduced to the city
health officer. DR.. BraUnnagel. We
talked over cases and municipal
health and then smiled, and bespoke
Alderman Kalteyer. He did not want
to be interviewed. But I think my
friend wanted to get his views about
a suggestion regarding his candidacy
for the mayoralty which had been
mentioned in the paper of this day.
He is probably willing, l think, but is
as yet afraid to make the race. Think
he would make good mayor, though,
as he is progressive business man
and has travelled good deal.
We struck a good gait away from
we came to the Dullnig building.
Here we learned that meeting of the
Order of the Golden Rule was to take
DldC6. L u6I6 are UNO vi
THIS ORDER
In the city and both have good
membership, but the members think
that by consolidating they may make
a much stronger lodge and this is
W hat the meeting was to be held for.
r. B. Johnson, Capt. VIM. Holt and
others were standing around the en-
trance to the lodge room and after
shaking hands we set forth to see the
play of Lights and Shadows" by
Harry Kennedy's company at the
Grand Opera house. You have a fine
opera house, to be sure. 1t is one of
the prettiest / ever saw. Although it
was $50 o'clock, the curtain had not
been lifted. We learned that the
scenery, about carload and a half,
had not arrived until $50 and was not
nearly in place, so we strOlled up
street and met Mr.. Joe Hauck, a
member of Sunset Hose company. He
had just
BEEN TO FIRE,

company with two members of conf

Returning to the theatre, the cur
tain went up and we recognized the
familiar face of Miss May Newman,
| Mrs. Kennedy who was here last
season as LISA in the "White
Slave" and Frank Roberts, who sup
ported Louise Bale. Mr.. w. T. Doyle,
of the Held by the Enemy COM
pany, was also in the cast.
