BROWNSVILLE, TEX, Sept. a. - Rio
Grande City is in the hands of an armed
Mexican mob of about 400 of the lowest
class Of bandits and smugglers. The
county officers, American and foreign, are
barred in their homes. The trouble arose
over the shooting on Saturday of Caterlono
T., Cara, editor Of the Camercio Mexicano,
Mexican paper published at Corpus
Christi, by United States Inspector OF Gus
toms. Leebree. Cara was shot in the
stomach and mortally wounded. Leebree
mounted horse and flea to Ringold bar
racks. He was pursued by mounted Mexi-
cans who shot at him. Colonel Clenden-
ino. in command of three companies Of
troops, put Leebree in the guard house., A
mob of 200 Mexicans demanded MIN. Clen-
denning refused and ordered the mop 0! 0nt
wires were cut at midnight and no further
news are obtainable. Trouble arose over
the killing Of Blackmailer Beesendy some
months ago by Leebree. Cara libelled
Leebree in his newspaper. Leebree
brought suit and had Cara arrested and
his political friends rallied to MS support.
His party declares that no American can
hold office in Star county.

The stranger waited placidly during the
outburst, and Mrs HabletOn, having stopped
for want Of breath, he interposed quietly:
"Can speak to you for few moments"
can who's stoppin' OF you" said Mrs.
Hableton, deliantly.
"Wen. really" said the other, looking up
at the cloudless blue sky, and wiping his face
with gaudy red silk pocket handkerchief,
sit is rather hot, you know, and"--
Mrs. Hableton did not give him time to
finish, but walking to the gate, opened it with
jerk.
use your legs and walk in" she said, and,
the stranger having done so, she led the way
into the house, and into a small, neat sitting
room, which seemed to overflow with anti
macassars, wool mats and wax flowers. There
was also row of emu eggs on the mantel-
piece, a cutlass on the wall, and grimy
line Of hard looking little books, set in stiff
row on a shelf, presumably for ornament, as
they looked too unpleasant TO tempt any one
to read them. The furniture was of horse
hair, and everything was hard and shiny, so
when the stranger sat down in the slippery
looking armchair that Mrs Hableton pushed
toward him he could not help thinking it had
been stuffed with stones, it felt so cold and
hard. The lady herself sat opposite to him
in another hard chair, and, having taken the
handkerchief off her head, folded it care
fully, laid it on her lap, and then looked
straight at her unexpected visitor.
''Now, then," she said, letting her mouth
fly open so rapidly that it gave one the i'm
preston that it was moved by strings like a
marionette, "who are yous what are youa and
what do you want"
The stranger put his red silk handkerchief
into his hat, placed it on the table and an
swered deliberately;
''My name is Gorby. I am detective. l
want Mr.. Oliver Whyte."
''He amt here, " said Mrs. Hableton, think
ing that Whyte had got into trouble and was
going to be arrested.

"Theu where is lei"
Mr.. Gorby answered abruptly, and watched
the effect of his words:
"He is dead"

coat was, wnere ne nved, and, having found
out these facts, ascertain his doings on the
night Of the murder Mrs. Hableton had de-
scribed him, but was ignorant of his name,
and her very vague description might apply
to dozens Of young men il Melbourne. There
was only one person who, in Mr.. Gorby's
opinion, could tell the name of the gentleman
in the light coat, and that was Moreland, the
intimate friend of the dead man. What
puzzled the detective was that Moreland
should be ignorant of his friends tragic
death, seeing that the papers were full Of the
murder, and that the reward gave an excel
lent description of the personal appearance
of the deceased. The only way in which
Gorby could account for Moreland's extraor
dinary silence was that he was out of town,
and had neither seen the papers nor heard
any one talking about the murder If this
was the case he might either stay away for
an indefinite time or might come back after a
few DAYS. At all events it was worth while
going down to St Kilda in the evening on
the chance that Moreland might have re-
turned to town and would call and see his
friend. So. after his tea, Mr. Gorby put on
his hat and went down to Possum Villa on
what he could not help acknowledging to
himself was very slender possibility
Mrs. Iableton opened the door for him,
and in silence led the way into her own
sitting room.
They were barely seated when a knock
came at the front door, loud and decisive, on
hearing which Mrs. Hableton sprang hastily
to her feet THAT may be Mr.. Moreland,"
she said. 81 never ave visitors in the
evenin', bein' lone widder, and if it is i'm
I'll bring i'm in ERE"
She went out, and presently Gorby, who
was listening intently, heard g. mans voice
ask if Mr. Whyte was at home. mo, sir, he
amt" answered the landlady, 'but there's
gentleman in his room aszin' after i'm.
Won't you come in, sirF'
For a rest, yes, " returned the visitor, and
Immediately afterwards Mrs. Hableton ap-
peared, ushering in the late Oliver Whyte's
most intimate friend. He was a tall slender
man, with a pink and white complexion,
curly fair hair, and dropping straw colored
mustache--atogether a strikingly aristo-
cratic individual He was well dressed in a
fashionable suit Of check, and had a cool,
nonchalant air about him.
And where is Mr. Whyte to-nightp' he
asked, sinking into chair and taking no
more notice of the detective than If he had
been an article of furniture,
Haven't you seen him latelyf' asked the
detective. quickly Mr.. Moreland stared in
an insolent manner at his questioner for
few moments as if he were debating the ad-
visibility of answering or not AT last he
apparently decided that he would, for slovefy
pulling off one glove he leaned back in his
chair.

MRS. BABLEToN CNBOS0MS HERSELF.
Postum Villa was an unpretentious looking
place with one bow window and a narrow
veranda in front It vas surrounded with
a small garden and few sparse flowers in it
which were hrs Habletons delight When
not otherwise engaged she tied an old hand
kerchief round her head and went out into
the garden, where she dug and watered her
flowers until They all gav1 up attempting to
grow from sheer desperation at not being leit
alone She was engaged in her favorlte oc-
cupation about a week after her lodger bad
disappeared, a shadow fell across the garden,
and on looking up she saw man leaning
over the fence, looking at her.
He was a burly looking man, with jovial
red face, clean shaved, and sharp, shrewd
looking gray eyes which kept twinliling like
two stars. He was dressed in a suit of light
clothes and wore stilIly starched white
waistcoat, with massive gold chain stretched
across it, Altogether he gave Mrs. Hableton
the impression Of being well to do trades
man, and she mentally wondered what he
wanted
What d'y wantln she asked abruptly.
Does Mr. Oliver Whyts live here" asked
the stranger.

since the murder, and as the lodger has not
been seen or heard of, the laudlady will
naturally make inquiries. If, however, as |
surmise, the lOdger is a stranger, she will not
know where to inquire. therefore, under
these circumstances, the most natural tning
for her to do would be to advertise for him;
SO I'll have a look at the newspapers"
Mr.. Gorby got a tile of the different news
papers, and looked carefully in the columns
where missing friends and people who will
hear something to their advantage are gen

himself. ION Friday morning. between

MIR. GoRBY MAKES FURTHER DISCOVERIES.
When Mr. Gorby left Possum Villa no
doubt remained in his mind as to who had
committed tho murder. The gentleman in
the light coat had threatened to murder
Whyte, even in the open street-these last
words being especially signiacant-and there
was no doubt that he had carried out his
threat. What the detective had now to do
was to find who the gentleman in the light

The Ninth ward boys, who have a verypretty
