QUITE a serious riot is reported at
Hidalgo, Mexico, over the title to the
town site. The title of eight leagues
of land was vested in the municipali-
ty five years ago by Governor Cnaves
of Coahuila. Two years later mer-
chant of Augua made good his title
before Governor Madero then the ex-
ecutive officer of the state. He at
tempted to gain possession some two
weeks since but the municipality re-
sisted his claim, and also all at
tempts at compromise. He appealed
for aid and troops were sent to put
him in possession. The people rose
against the small squad of troops
and ran them out of town. The end
is by no means yet and no end of
trouble is looked for. Real estate in
Mexico must be looking up.

SATURDAYS SUICIDE.
S. D, Clark Prefers Suicide to a
Sense of Shame.

Sense OF Shame.
About 4:30 p. IN. on Saturday the
startling news was spread through
the city that Samuel d. Clark had
committed suicide, and that his body
had been found in his cart on the
vacant lot, east side the river, below
Fourth street bridge. The LIGHT lost
no time in ascertaining the facts al
though too late for publication.
Samuel d. Clark was the senior
member of the firm OF Clark d Kill
gore. butchers, next door to the Fourth
ward hose house. He had mounted
his cart about o'clock in the MORN
ing feeling very Respondent and down.
hearted over his arrest the night be-
fore, and his deten ton in the lookup
until his partner heard of the affair
and bailed him out. Deceased was a
man who drank but had never been
drunk and down. He had taken but
little sleep for some nights and work
ing hard during the day time felt
very sleepy on Friday night while
waiting for his car, and as he says
was asleep and not drunk and down
when arrested. However that may
be he remained in the lookup and
was fined for being drunk, and this
fact so preyed upon his mind that be-
fore he started out on his rounds Sat
urday morning he told his partner
that he would not stand the disgrace
to his family, but no idea of his
committing suicide was entertained.
When the body was found, the cart
was under a live-Oak tree, the horse
standing quietly in the shade, the
body lying upon the right wheel of
the cart, a bullet hole in the right
temple, q SO calibre pistol tightly
clasped in the right hand and pool
of blood OH the ground beneath him.
Justice Heron was notified, held an
inquest, decided that the deceased
committed suicide and the body was
removed to the residence, SIS North
Flores street. from which place it was
buried yesterday morning at 10
o'clock.
Mr.. Clark was a native of Pennsyl-
vania, married, had a wife and one
child, about seven years old, and was
himself about forty years of age. He
held the position of Indian agent for
the Utes, in Colorado, under Cleve-
land, and removed from Georgetown,
in that state, to San Antonio some six
months since. He had never been ac-
customed 60 manual labor and his
changed circumstances seemed to
have dlsheartened him. He had
never before carried pistol and was
not known to have possessed one. AS
the pistol found in his hand was new,
and he had with him a box OF cart
ridges, it would appear that after
starting out on his rounds the shame
of being arrested was too much for
him and he bought pistol, deliber-
ately drove his horse into the vacant
lot and put an end to his existence. 1t
is one of the saddest tragedies ever
enacted in this city.

Not Anxious About it.

President Lott of the Arkansas Pass
has returned from the East and will
make his headquarters in this city
for some weeks to come. He says
that the very idea of receiver upon
such an az plication as KeiPs is all
surd and if sustained would hold
good against nearly every railroad
and business concern of any magni-
tude in the country. The matter OF
the receiver has nothing to do with
his presence in the city, he says, but
that he is here in the general inter
ests of the road.

PoIiShe dsColumnS.

Alderman Bolton was asked his
opinion of a communication in daily
paper in this city, regarding those
polished columns, and replied:
"Well, it is somewhat funny, but
then | would not make such dam
aging charge against the mayor UNI
der nom-de-guerre like Cactus does,
iflt is true, as Cactus insists that his
honor the mayor did, more than a
week ago, make contract TO do the
work of polishing the columns for
8, 300. Cactus ought to come out like
man in his true name, because
when the mayor brought this subject
up in he special meeting Of the
council on Thursday, he certainly
by his language led no one to believe
thai such a contract had been made.
To the contrary, when he said Mr..
Braden offered to do the extra
work for S2975 and that it was imper-
atiVe that the amount be apprOpria-
ted at once 50 as not to stop or retard
the work, and some one intimated
that 1t should be given out / asked
| him if the price asked for to polish
| the columns was fair and reasonable;
| he said yes, that Braden would not
make over ten percent profit at those
figures and was satisfied with the
assertion, taking into consideration
the risk Of the contractor in having
some Of the work broken or damaged
in the extra handling, though $37
apiece for polishing l should think
a pretty high figure. But then what
is $40 to the apparent unauthorized
expenditure in the past, during his
administration. On July LIST the
treasury reports showed clearly thai
the city was in the soup for $4,000
The council by vote OF eight to one
early demonstrated by their action
that it would not do to criticise the
financial affairs of the city, and VIVA

back, accompanied by another man,
then started as fast as their horses
could travel for Elko. On the road
they discovered by the rising dust
TINT they were being followed, but
they pushed on and succeeded in
reaching the summit within a fow
miles OF town when they were over
taken by about a dozen masked men
who, with guns presented, demanded
the prisoner, and, under the circum-
stances, SkaggI could do no less than
surrender him, which he did and
camo on to town.
Upon hearing his story there was
but one opinion and that was that
Kendrick had expatiated his enor-
nous crime in taking the life Of an
innocent man by being executed with
out judge or jury. Shortly after
noon, however, Sheriff Barnard and
H. j. Keith came in with Kendrick
who was Immediately locked up in
Jail.
After getting possession of tho
murderer the mob started on their
return toward Lamoille, as there was
no tree in the neiIhborhood whore
they took him largo enough for a gal
lows. On tho way they came sudden
ly upon Barnard and Keith, who were
travelling in a buggy in search of
Kendrick, and without being COM
manded to do 9 % the prisoner was de-
livered to the Sheriff, and the party
continued their journey toward La

tional item nipped in the bud by the
inopportune appearance Of the Sher-
i'll, whose presence was welcomed by
Kendrick who without doubt cor
cluded that he had seen the sun rise
for the last tim; and the makers
will hereafter have occasion to re-
joice that the blood of q fellow being
