formed and more are in prospective. The

ganized under the State military law as
High School Cadets, with Professor Esterlv
as Captain. Another company is named the
Ell Paso Guards, Captain Walter Davis, son
OF Ex-Governor E. ]. Davis Both Captains

The only time before that Ell Paso nos.
sessed military company was in the sum-
mer OF 1886, during the height of the Cut
ting excitement, when Paso del ,Norte, lust
across the Rio Grande, suddenly garrisoned
a large military force to prevent the forci-
bic rescue of Cutting by the Texas COWBOYS
There was apprehension in Ell Paso that bv
some overt act By hot-headed Americans
the Mexican army might be tempted to
rush over the river to FL Paso and sack the
city IN retaliation. To guard against this
large number of citizens, armed with the
abundant stock of rifles in mercantile es.
adjustments, formed regular companies
ready TO form a line at the signal of the
alarm-bell. When Cutting was released
these companies disbanded.

Colonel A. M: Swope and Colonel William

Colonel Swope denounced Goodloe in the

shed his coat to show that he was moi
armed, at the same time continuing bis de.
nunciation. Friends of both parties inter.
vened and prevented hostilities, but a per.
sonal encounter is expected as soon as they
meet again.
Goodloe's only reply to the vituperative
assault was that the hotel was no place fo1
such an affair. The street is filled with ex.
cited people, and scores of friends of each
party have prepared guns. 1t is understood
Goodloe has challenged Swope and that
preparations for duel are under way.

Marriage and Escape of a Fifteen-Year-

NEW YORK, May 9th.-Hirsch Gelger, Is
years old, was accused in the Essex Market
Court yesterday of deserting his wife, aged
about 40. Three weeks ago the woman
asked the boy for $50 600 for having trihed
with her affections. Having no money he
was put in Ludlow Street Jail. The woman
visited him there and told him he would
remain a prisoner for life unless he mar
ried her. She frightened him SO that at
last he consented, and went to the office of
an Alderman and the knot was tied.
Hardy had the wife kissed him when he
darted out of the door and fled at the TOP
OF his speed. The woman met him on
Grand street and promptly caused his ar
rest for desertion. The boy looks like
mere child.

eral BEEN vas Murdered.
CHICAGO, May 9th.-It is asserted to-
night that the will of General Martin BEEN,
whose mysterious death caused so much
comment, contains a note commanding
that if anything should happen to him an
investigation should be made. The will
was drawn up less than week before his
death. The Probate Court refuses an in
spection of the document at present.
A peculiar feature of the tragedy is the
fact that if General BEEN was murdered
his life insurance can be collected by his
sister in Alton, to whom it is payable bnt
if, as Mrs. BEEN claims, he was not MUIR
dered at all, but committed suicide, his
relatives stand no show for the money.
The relatives appear to believe that he
was murdered, and are actively co-operat-
ing with the Chicago Union Veteran
League in ferreting out the mystery.
