unless matters are fixed up in the
meantime, which is not likely. Mr..

Why they We're Arrested.

The Mexicans Juan Esquival and
Petronell Mendoza, whose arrest was
chronicled yesterday were wanted for
robbing a railroad man named Baker
of a watch, a San Antonio IL Arkansas
Pass railroad time check, and s. in
silver. The crime was committed on
Saturday night while Baker was I'M
der the influence of alcoholism. The
watch and check have been recOv-
cred but the money has been spent
and is therefore lost. The men
were in the paymaster's office,
getting their time checks cashed, and
one of the Mexicans presented a time
cheek in the name of VIM. Baker for
SCI. The other Mexican stepped up
and said the check belonged to him.
While they were squabbling, the fore
man stepped up and asked to see the
check and found it had never
been properly transferred and was
about to detain the men when
he found they had crept down stairs.
He pursued, and as they got TO the
sidewalk began running but were
caught. Baker says he was at chile
stand on Military plaza the night be-
fore and took cup Of coffee. After
that he did not remember any more
until he awOke next morning in the
bat cave, on a charge Of being drunk.
He thinks he was drugged and robbed
by these Mexicans. ..

A MAD MOTHER.

Only Slightly Demented and APP
parent!y from Exposure.
In the county court yesterday after
noon a Young woman named Amanda
Winters, alias Johnson, was tried for
lunacy and convicted by verdict of
Jury of six. She talked very rational
" during the trial, and told her
maiden name, Slaughter, BIRTH
place, Atascosa county, her husbands
name Winters and how he was killed,
etc. She stated she had four children,
two girls and two boys, now in the
care of her father-in-law, at Pearsall,
where she formerly lived, and this
was corroborated by witnesses. Her
actions since she has been here, about
one year, in going about the streets
DolorOsa street and others) in nude
and semi-nude condition, and also in
taking possession of a small fruit and
candy store ON South Flores street
during the owners absence during
the reunion, was the evidence of her
insanity. and other evidence, that
she had been tried once
for lunacy in Pearsall, although
acquitted, and the fact that the
mother and one sister had become in
sane was introduced. She has been
tried in the recorders court for
vagrancy and was once an inmate of
the county poorhouse as a pauper.
A better way for the county judge
to have disposed of her case would
have been to buy her a ticket for
about $3.50 and send her back to her
friends and children in Pearsall. She
is not violently insane and, indeed,
docs not appear but very slightly de-
mented
