above stated. With the exception of "A
few years spent in Massachusetts the de-

widely known and esteemed. She taught
large number of district schools, and
then for some years was very efficient
teacher in the old Academy building.
She had unusual energy and decision of
character and led busy and helpful life.
In her later life the most conspicuous
qualities of her character have been her
readiness to answer the calls that came
from the sick and the suffering, and her
unWearicd devotion to her widowed
mother. Her death was sad surprise to
all her friends, and is greatly lamented.
She was consistent member of the
Bethany Baptist church. The funeral
took place ON "Wednesday and was con
Quoted by her pastor, Rev. c. '. Hanson.
The attendance o. friends and relative,
was very large. The venerable mother has
the sympathy OF all in this sudden and
sore bereavement.

The Gait Gazette of the 4th instant saws
"On Sunday last Elmer Smith and Gerton
Ferton succeeded in killing a mammoth
wild boar that has for years past lived on
calves, sheep, ETC., down in the Pocket.
The citizens of that locality for some time
past have been trying to kill his hogshlp,
and many shots have been fired into bis
carcass without effect. He was ready for
battle at any time. and only short time
since he chased man on horseback out of
an open field. He was known and feared
by all the settlers of the vicinity, and when
the news of bis death was confirmed last
Sunday, three rousing cheers were offered
for his captors. The men were in wagon
when they met him, and the boar showed
fight right off. They peppered him with
shotguns, which had no effect whatever,
and clubs were brought into requisition in
close quarters, which were effectually used
over the animals head. Two well-directed
shots from a revolver finished him, and his
captors hauled his carcass in triumph to a
place of safety, where they skinned him
and divided pieces of the hide among their
neighbors. The thickness of the skin and
membranes measured from two to three
inches, piece of which can be seen at this
office"

An Early Morning Disturbance.

Saturday morning about clock, row
which came near resulting in tragedy
occurred in Smiths restaurant, K street
between Third and Fourth. 1t appears
that man named Soldaniels and a couple
of women were eating in the restaurant
when Dan Eagan, alias Montana Kid"
his wife and another woman entered.
The KIDS wife did not happen to be on
friendly terms with one of the women who
was ct Soldariels' table, and after an ex-
change of a few words the two men be-
came involved in the quarrel. A tussle
ensued, and after scrap" of few min
utes the burly ruffians were separated
After this Mrs. Eagan said something back
TO Soldaniels, and, she says, he made for
her with a carving-knife, but before ne
could do any carving bottle of catsup
hurled by the woman landed on his cram
ium and had the effect of knocking him
down. Officer Lowell had by this time
arrived, and he escorted Soldaniels TO the
Police-station, where his wounds, which
are in no way trifiing were attended to.
The Eagans were arrested on a charge of
disturbing the peace.

ELI MAYO.
He Slabs a Man on Account of the No
torious Kate Dawson.

torious Kate Dawson.
Eli Mayo, he Of tax-title fame, and un-
sayory reputation generally, is again in the
tolls of the law. Last evening about G
O'Clock man put in his appearance at the
Pacific Water Cure, Seventh and L streets,
and informed DR.. Clayton that he was
wounded unto death" He showed a
dangerous knife wound just over the heart,
an inch deep and couple of inches in
length. He was very much excited, and
weak from the loss of blood. He said his
name was ]. w. Hits, and that he had
been stabbed by Eli Mayo. Hits evidently
believed that he would soon be dead. 1t
was evident to all that saw him that he
was dead drunk. He said: IF l die,
write TO my mother, Mrs. Jane Manion,
Shoals, Indiana, and tell her her boy died
game" He was taken to the Receiving
Hospital and "sewed up" by the City
Physician, who says the wounds are not
serious if properly cared for. Hits, il ap-
pears, is slightly enamoled with the charms
of certain dashing female, known in po-
lice circles as Kate Dawson. She has been
putting up, it is said, at Mayo's place for a
time, and Hits called TO see her, but was
refused admittance by Mayo, who is jeal-
Gus OF Kate ana does not propose to allow
her to make any leap year mashes. He
informed Mr.. Hits that the latter's pres
ence was offensive, and ordered him off the
premises. Hits was filled up to the muz-
zle with sour beer and poor whisky, and
love for Kate, and he defied Mayo The
latter took knife and proceeded to carve
his rival, when Hits skedaddled without
having seen his lady-love. Eli Mayo, was
arrested and admitted to bail in the sum of
$1,000. with G. C. Brown and B. w. Cay

EDS. RECORD UNION: Residents in the
southeastern portion of the city are pre-
pared to donate a handsome purse to the
police officer or midnight prowler who will
arrest or forever silence the Mexican youth
who makes night hideous in that locality.
The said descendant of the ancient Aztec
race carries a huge bucket on his arm,
and presumably dispenses jack-rabbit to-
males; but no person can tell, from the
unearthly yell he lets out every few
minutes, just what ails him. His
cry comes upon the startled ear of the
slumberer sometimes like unto that OF
some lost soul fioundering about in Stygian
darkness. AT others, it sounds like a cry
of fire; and again, it is heard above the
wintry blasts like a cry of pain forced
from some victim of the nocturnal footpad
or thug. In every case it is a gross dis
turbance of the peace of the neigh borhood
and the nuisance should be abated If not
the long suffering citizens may organize
and go coon-hunting some bright night
Probably no policeman has ever ventured
| within range of this lGsuS nature, or, if so,
he must have been too badly frightened by
| the creatures unearthly yell to interfere,
| for the fend keeps up his nightly marrow
| freezing work. Is there no relief for a
suffering people2

City Driveway Improvements.

The disposition is manifesting itself
among the enterprising residents of G
street to have that street graded and gray
eled the coming season, as it would then be
the leading driveway, and soon become the
most popular avenue for turnouts in that
section of the city. Seventh street is al
ready grayeled from the south side of the
city over to G, and with the latter put into
fine driving condition, and leading as it
does directly TO the entrance of Agricultural
Park, would at once come to the front, it is
claimed, as the principal street on that side
of the city. + street was graded most OF its
length last summer, and many of its resi-
dents are anxious to have it finished with
gravel, knowing that if this is done-unless
q street sooner gets away with the plum
the drive out Seventh or Tenth to F. and
thence to the park, and from there along
Twentieth to n, which is also TO be com
pleted as a driveway, will give to f the
prestige it held in former days, when it
was the favorite home of Governors, Judges
and our most prominent men.
In this connection it may also be men
toned that the people residing upon Six
strong purpose to have that street graded
and substantially finished out over the
levee, to connect with Del Paso road on
the grant. 1t is said that the property
owners on Sixteenth are willing to be
taxed sufficiently for this improvement,
and that the matter will probably be
brought to the early attention of the Super
yisors and the City Trustees.

oidentany Shooting Relative.
About O'Clock yesterday morning
George W. Lorenz, teller OF the Peoples
Bank, came near killing his brother-in-law,
William Tate. Mr.. Tate had been out late
and returning home says he was assaulted
by an unknown party at Tenth and ]
streets and received a severe blow in the
back Of the head, inficting an ugly wound
which dazed him. Instead of going to his
nome he walked upon the porch of his
brOiher-iu-laW residence his house being
an adjoining one. Instead Of going to the
door, il appears he wentsto a window and
was rattliug the shutters. Mr. Lorenz hear
ing the noise and supposing it to be a
burglar, took his pistol and stepped out on
the porch and demanded to know what
was the matter. Seeing that the party was
in a dszed condition he did not fire. Tate
came toward him, and then making n
spring, grappled holo of Lorenz, evidently
supposing that his brother.in-law was The
party who assaulted him. In the struggle
which ensued the pistol was discharged.
the bali passing close 10 the side of the
head Of Tate. The report and flash of the
weapon seems to have brought Tate to his
senses for ne cried out: George YOU have
killed men and sank on the porch. Lorenz
was overcome by this announcement he
thought he had killed his brother.in-
law, and rushing in next door, in
formed Mr.. Tate that he had killed
his son, and called a neighbor
TO help him carry the llfeless remains into
the house, imagining of course that the
deadly bullet had torn of half of his
brother-in-law's head. While Lorenz was
off alarming the neighborhood his wife
went out on the porch, got her brother in
the house, and made the discovery that the
only damage from the shot was a severe
powder-burn on the forehead She went
to the door. and called to her husband to
let the neighbors alone for the boy was not
shot only " frightened nearly to DEATH"
Lorenz came back as fast as he went away,
and he says the proudest moment of his
life was when he saw his brother-in-law
walking on The floor. My cup of Joy was
