IL will be recalled that Officer Work arrested
these gentlemen ne suspicious characters and
hired his pistol at them. They subsequently pre-
ferred charges against him. and the trial board
after hearing the evidence recommended his
dismissal from the force.
An effort has since been made 20 save.the
onicer and that accounts for the affdayits pre-
sented today.
There Is one affidavit from A. Miller in which

tween Burgess and Bradshaw m which they
concocted a scheme TO destroy the value %

Chas. A. keefe, in which it is stated that Bur-
CESS cursed the officer and he and bradshaw
appeared as though they had been drinking,
the latter of whom was very violent aud lac en-
pected every moment that lac. with the as-
sistence OF Others would assault the officer
An aiildavit from Miss Peak il also prcsente

MISERY ON THE RIO GRANDE.
So Great Distress Has Not Been Seen In
Twenty-Five Years.

HAVANA, TEX, August s.-Those who have
lived twenty-five years on the Rio Grande have
never seen SO much misery among the Mexican
population as this year. The staple crop of
the Rio Grande valley is corn and the Mexican
friiole, but the drought has been 80 terrible
for the last eighteen months that scarcely
anything has been raised and stock has
died by Thousands. Many who two years ago
were considered well of have nothing LETT but
their lands. Hundreds Of laboring men have
left the frontier counties and finding
work north of the Nueces river. IL the
drought continues until the cold northers come
there will be but little cattle to live through
the winter, and many families will suffer for
the necessaries of life. The drought is not con-
fined to few counties in Texas, but extends
far into Old Mexico.

This morning, few minutes before II
O'Clock, two expert house thieves broke into
the handsome residence Of Mr.. John vinton
Dahigren, 1910 18th street. A half an hour
later both Of them were safely under lock and
key at the X street police station.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dahlgren are away from home
Just now, and these two men evidently
thought it would be a first rate time
to clean out the house, SO taking advantage
OF q time in the morning when the house was
left unoccupied they broke open window in
the back part Of the building.
THE BURGLAR ALARM SPRUNG.
The house was fitted with burglar alarm
connected with the Office Of the Mu-
tual District Messenger Company and
at just 1853 q. m. the alarm
sprang and Special Officer Addison at once
started for the house. When he reached there
five minutes later he dispatched a messenger
for assistance while he watched the house.
Officers Maddigan and Hanley, from the
street station, and Special Officers Malloy and
Dorsey responded promptly.
They entered the house and in the front room
on the second floor found the two men busily
engaged in rifling bureaus and closets.
THE THIEVES CAUGHT.
They were put under arrest and placed in
the patrol wagon, which had arrived in the
meantime.
They were taken to the police station and
searched. The search brought to light jew.
elry, diamonds and other valuables to q
probable value of $1,000. The articles were
taken in charge by Lieut.. Guy.
Mr. Dahlgren left some fine cigars in his
smoking room and the burglars were c0lml,
smoking these and taking their time to the
work when they we're arrested
At the police station they gave the names Of
George Knox and John Pierson and claimed to
be from Germantown, Pa
APPEARANCE OF THE BURGLARS.
They are respectable-looking young men and
are thought by the police to be strangers in
the city.
There was large amount Of jewelry in the
house. much Of which they had secured and
would no doubt have gotten away. with had i,
not been for the burglar alarm.
The prisoners are held and the police will en-.
deavor to learn something Of their identity be-
fore they arc taken into court next week.
