terday entered the confectionery OF
HsrDisch IL Bar, on Commerce street
and ordered soda water. 1t wa.

juts over the river. The man paid
for the soda water and the waiter left
A moment afterwards all three were
struggling in the water.
Henry Bobn, who heard the splash,
sprarg into beat and rowed to the
drowning people. Mrs. Wesson was
hauled INFO the boat; her husband,
whose head Was under water, cluug to
her legs.
BOhn grabbed him and pulled him
halt way into the boat, when Wesson
exclaimed Let me go " and placing
his feet against the side Of the boat
jerked loose and sank. His body was
found half an hour later.
The baby hoa,ed down stream and
disappeared.
The woman was taken to drug
store, but Was too nearly crazei to
give any account of the occurrence.
The couple came here two weeks
ago and boarded at the Maverick
Hotel. Wesson, who was from Naya-
sofa, Texas, was a young lawyer of
excellent family, and was for two
years county attorney of Grimes
county. He was well supplied with
funds. He married in Colusbus a
Miss Bryan, known as one of the most
beautiful girls in the northern section
OF the state.
Wesson came to San Antonio to
practise his profession. His brother
arrived couple OF days ago to take
him back home. 1t was alleged that
he had been in ill-health and that his
mind was affected, and this gave rise
to runner that he had thrown his
wife and child into the water and
Jumped after them.

MELICAN METHODS.
They Are Not Always Satisfactory to
sChinese Litigants.
Ah Pang and Sam Chung Imagine that
the Courts are Run for Their
Exclusive Benefit.

Sam Chung runs waSh-house on l.
street. between Seventh and Eighth, and
All Pang worked for him just long
enough to get all the clothes of Chung
patrons as badly mixed as the babes men
toned in the Pinafore opera
The result was, he got his walking pa
pers, but no money for his alleged serv-
ices. So he hunted up attorney G.. G.
Davis and attached his employers prop
erty. In the meantime Chung disposed
OF his horse and wagon, and when a
Constable was sent down to his place
with the attachment papers he found
only what was inside the shop, and this
he levied upon.
Sam Chung went up to Justice Henry's
office and charged around at great rate.
He declared, in his best English, that he
would never pay a cent of wages to All
PanG.
Him heap no good " he exclaimed.
Him alice same get close mixed up
! One woman, him get alice same mans
shlrt-no can put um on! Man, she get
woman's shim-wnat you call um? Me
talkee Ah Pang bout it; he say, 'Oh. go
lagn Me tellee him l lose bis'ness-I nc
wantee him no mo-! Him alice same
d-n fool! i no pay him notingp'
The more the Celestial talked, the more
| excited he became, and as he accompanied
his sidewalk Grafton with the widest
gesticulations he soon had gang Of his
countrymen around him, who gaZed in
open-mouth wonder at the proceedings.
| Failing to be on hand when the case
came up for trial yesterday, judgment by
| default was rendered against All Chung.
and when he heard it, and that a keeper
had been sent to close his place, he be-
came almost wild.
About noon attorney Davis met his eli
ent, the keeper, and Sam Chung on the
street. They were on their way to the
Justices Court.
All lite ~ cried the plaintiff, gleefully,
-! gettee money! Chung him pay me
tirteen dolla'u'
'Yes, but it isn't all right % exclaimed
the attorney. You've no right to settle
the case out of court! You've got your
money, but where does the court, and the
keeper, and the Constable and myself get
on? You come along and pay that money
into court"
1t was with difficulty that All Pang was
made to understand the necessity for so
doing. He had sued for his Sl3, and had
got it-that was all the interest he had in
the matter.
However, the money was paid into
court, and then Sam Chung was told he
must put Up for the costs, which amount
ed to some Sl4

pay All Pang for workee-I no pay
C'nstubblei L no sabbee Mclean way

lascle! pnstubble go hellee-I go
homer'
And off he posted, with the keeper at
his heels, to once'more take charge of the
wash-house. At last accounts Sam Chung
and the keeper were disputing as to
which was the boss of the place; All Pang
had gone to consult some of the leading
Cinnamon as to how he should get his
money out of the court; lawyer Davis was
holding down a chair in the Justices
office, waiting for the settlement Of the
case, that he might get his fee, and the
court and bailitf were wondering whether
or not they were going to come out even
on the days work.
