started, not even seam in the deck
was opened and the crockery stored
below never suffered single crack
No trial of the engine was made, the

Rather Strange Neglect.

Private Schubert of the 3rd United
States cavalry was found dead a few
days since in the Frio road, some
miles out from Uvalde. Justice Mans
field of Uvalde went out to view the
body and hold an inquest. The man
had evidently been dead some days,
was dressed in cavalry pants and
boots and was supposed to be SOL
dier. Nothing was found on his per-
son by which he could be iden tified,
but he was subsequently, identified as
a soldier of the United States cavalry,
and the statement is made that he
was dismounted and ordered to walk
as a punishment for getting drunk en-
route from this post to Fort Clark,
that the command passed on and left
him and made no subsequent attempt
to ascertain what had become of him.
II this statement is substantiated by
facts, which seems highly improbable,
tits Gel tainly very singular procedure
and one that calls for investigation at
the hands of the proper military au-
thorities.

Death to the Cattle.

CHICAGO, July 3O.-A special dis
patch from Winfield, Kansas, says:
Cattle men from the Indian Territory
report Texas fever as playing havoc
among the cattle in the territory.
Over forty head were seen dead in
one pasture alone, and in others num-
bers varying from seven to twenty
five. They also stated that hundreds
of cattle were dying in Oklahoma and
predicted there would not be living
head of the cattle imported into that
country from the states of Kansas
and Nebraska within month. The
fatality among cattle in Oklahoma is
not caused so much from Texas fever
as from the effect the southern climate
has ON them. Reports from Guthrie,
Oklahoma City and other points in
the territory verify this statement.

What President SchryVer says
About the Matter.

A. G. Schryver, president of the San
Antonio Fair and International Expo
sition, and who has just returned to
the city from an extended trip north,
was seen this morning with reference
to fair matters. Mr.. Schryver says
that matters are all ripe for a very
successful fair this fall and only one
thing is neutrality-suspicious..
supplied said he. "rhere is no use
of talking, the way must be provided
for people to reach the grounds. 1t
surely cannot be that the people of
this city will refuse us the privilege of
putting motors on the road necessary
to move the people," From intorma-
ton given in answer to inquiries
made, THE LIGHT understands that
the fair people will present
a scheme to the city council at
its next meeting looking to the
opening of some line or lines of trans
portation to the fair ground. What
this will be has not been fully decid-
ed upon as yet, but it will be in few
days. A united effort will be made
by the fair ground corporation to Sc
cure some action of the city council
under which they may at once COM
mence work, either under their own
corporate name or some other, and
open a road to the fair ground of such
carrying capacity as will accommo-
date the thousands who will require
transportation at that time. Only
thirteen weeks are left in which to
decide upon plan, secure municipal
franchise, build and equip road and
lost. The city should certainly meet
the fair GROUND people half way in
this matter and lay no unnecessary
hindrances in the way. Some road
must be opened or the fair manage
ment will be fearfully handicapped
and the city brought into disrepute
next fall,

Newton Scores One.

In the indictments found against
Harry Newton by the grand jury, as
is well known, was one charging him
with attempted robbery and this upon
the testimony of Bunch Williams, the
hack driver. Mr.. Newton has caused
Williams arrest for perjury and i'm
support of his charge has secured the
deposition of Williams employer, who
Is about to leave the state. This gen.
tleman, J. E. Bryan, of the livery firm
of Bryan & Co., st. Mary's street, in
his examination before Justice Nc
Allister yesterday testified as to what
Bunch Williams told him on the night
on which he charges that Newton
tried to rob him. Describing the oc-
cupant of his hack then Williams
said:
HE was heavy set man, and he
kept his hat pulled down over his
face, so no one could see his features"
Mr.. Bryan also stated: II heard
Bunch make a statement about New
ton at the time of the examining trial
of Newton. He went up to look at
Newton to see if he could recognize
him as the man he hauled in his hack
to the Mission, and he said he could
not.
81 myself asked Bunch if Newton
was anything like the man that tried
to rob him, and he said Mop
81 was keeping the books at the
stable. 1t is marked in the books as
occurring on April 5, 1889.
Bunch Williams said he could not
recognize the man,
