Passed TO a Well Earned Pest.

Mr.. John HalDerdier, aged IS years,
resident of Castroville, who was
well known in this city, died at Cas-
troville, on Wednesday last. The de-
ceased was an old timer. as he came
from Leon de Verden, France, on the
18th of February, 1912, with Henry
Castro's colony, and was one OF the
founders of Castroville. At the time
of his arrival he was the father of five
children, who went with him to Cas-
troville to till his field, when ne met
with adverse fortune, his house being
Quilted twice by fire. His family sepa-
rated at the death of his wife in 1856
and some emigrated to other parts Of
the state. He resided permanently
at Castroville, where the larger por-
ton of his children also reside. Those
living from home may be mention ed
Mrs. Hoefgen, the wife of Peter Hoef-
gen, carpenter, who has resided in
this city for the last 80 years.

He Fired Off Pistols and Frightened
Them.
The latest divorce suit filed in the
district court Is brought by Mrs.
Katherine Klockenkemper against
her husband Henry Klockenkemper,
a jeweler, on Soledad street. The
grounds for the divorce are for cruel
treatment and abandonment. Petition
er alleges they were married in San
Antonio in 1866 and lived together
until about the beginning of the pres
ent month. Petitioner then relates
the names of their eight children, the
issue of this marriage. The oldest
child is Mary, ageo q years and the
youngest four. The wife alleges that
defendant in September, came home
drunk and cursed her shamefully and
in November he came home drunk
and fired off pistols and greatly
frightened them. For this he was
fined by the recorder next day. He
also cursed the mother and threat
ened to throw the daughter Mary in
to the street, choking her by his
hand, until they had to call in the
neighbors.
Mrs. X. also prays the court for
alimony during the tendency of the
suit, and for an injunction restraining
her husband from selling or disposing
of any of the community property, the
homestead, horses and carriage or
jewelry store, valued at $4,000, until
the court decides the suit. The court
has issued an order granting the wife
$50 per month alimony.

Several suggestions for Mayor already

success would be with either of them
is doubtful. To my surprise [ never

Kalteyer is qualified in every respect
to be Mayor; also he has the great adj

A Stirer up of Strife.

The Daily Independent of 18th, of Feb contained a comment on an article from the Wheel Enterprise. It was read with interest by many of Col. Eds old Prescott friends. IL was Il sail trimmer. No one would be surprised to see the Independent come stcaming into port as n Wheel cfaft.-Prcs- colt Dispatch.
 The Independent never trims 1t always says what it thinks, and will hardly steam into port as the craft of any party or organization. It is wholly and thoroughly indepen- dent in politics, reserving the right to support the best men for office regardless of their party affiliations, and for this reason gives it's support to men like McRae in preference to those of the Hit. Ansley, ct al sort. It will ill the next campaign support Mir. McRae not knowing whether or not he is . wheeler, but knowing that he has too much patriotism to attempt to array one class of busi- ness men against another. We are i glad however that our 'old Prescott friends" read our paper with inter est. and if more of them would do so l there would be fewer followers of papers like the Dispatch whose only aim seems to be stir to up strife be- l tween the farming classes and the mer chants and professional men. When we sail we always manage to land on the side of law and order, and op- pose strikes and boycotls which only involve the people indulging in them in trouble. We will never sail into port with the Dispatch, but for the agricultural wheels we have ever, and will always cherish the very highest respect, and advise them to sail" clear of those interlopers "he only produce discord in their ranks and whose only desire is office and self aggrandizement, one on whom
