TOOK MORPHINE.
just Because He was Tired Of Life

Just Because He was Tired OF Life.
Yesterday afternoon about $3.50
O'Clock the police station received q
telephone message to send officers to
Mss. YouDg's residence, on South
Flores near Arkansas street. The
station dispatched Assistant Mar
shall Hennessy and Policeman Beck
on horseback. They found peach
peddIer named Bots suffering from
the effects OF an overdose of what was
evidently morphine and he appeared
pretty far gone. DIR. Wright, a
physician was called in and he, 1t Is
alleged, pronounced the case as hope
less. The officers, however, went to
work and by dInt of vigorous
measures in rubbing and beating,
etc, succeeded finally In arousing
the man and today he is out
of danger. He had stated the
evening previous. That ne was tired
of life and was going to kill himself.
Yesterday afternoon, after trying to
awaken Bots, who had kept his room
nearly all the day, the family became
alarmed and summoned aid. He had
applied to one drug store for some
morphine, but was refused. An emp
ty box labeled morphine was found,
and 1t is supposed he had secured the
drug somewhere else.
BOis was much better this morning
and has been removed to the city
hospital,

AN OUTRAGEOUS ATTEMPT

To Ruin the Character OF a Sweet
Young Girl, Who is Earning
an Honest Living.
A reporter Tor the LIGHT was stop
ped at the court house yesterday and
was told the following remarkable
story by young man named Clark,
who Is in hign society circles in the
city:
"There is young girl about sixteen
years OF age, vino is IN the high stand
ing and the estim alton OF all good
people ana who has been clerk in
one of the prominent stores of the
city for some time She is intelligent,
handsome and very attractive, and as
consequence, the many customers
en- tering the store would always
try and secure her If pos
siOle. There is q woman who
runs a house of disrepute across the
San Pedro, who, like many others,
had taken great fancy to the young
lady. She made frequent visits to the
store and purchased goods of no one
except this popular subject. She
gave her name as Mrs. Lsugtry and
said she had most beautiful home, a
handsome carriage. and, in fact made
her believe sue was one of the most
Christ-like beings under the canopy
of heaven. One day she drove up TO
the store, purchased some goods and
made the remark to her supposed vic
tim, that she would be pleased to
have her take tea with her at her
beautiful residence on Sunday eve-
ming. and that she would take her
out driving, at the same time pointing
out her handsome carriage and
horses, which were SO attractively
arranged Oh the street. in front Of the
store. The innocent girl was delight
ed at making the acquaintance of
such q seemingly smia ole character,
and. thanking her for her overly
kind invitation, consented TO go, both
to tea and for q drive. That evening
she WAS walking up one of the ave-
nues of the city with a young man,
when MRS. Langtry" passed in her
elegant turnout. The young lady
remarked that she had been asked
to dine with that lady, also to take
drive and that she had consented.
Naturally the gentleman realized
what had been going on and at once
informed the girl that the woman
was one OF the most notorious charsc-
tiers in the city, thus saving her from
life long disgrace and, no doubt.
a down fall from womsnly
character. This is the work that is
going on In the midst of thousands OF
spectators right here in San Antonio.
Has it come to pass that q virtuous
girl cannot attend to her honest daily
toll without being tempered with by
women of vice who are on the look
out for the virtues of pure-minded
and thoroughly respectable and ad-
mired ladies? "True women are the
pride of men; let all lend hand to
confine this sccursed evil to its own
walls"
This wolfan claims to have in
f1uepce with some Of the officials. The
proper authorities can learn name and
further particulars at the LIGHT of.

Some people are awfully stuck on
Steve Hogg,
He's not in it.
Then again there are some who will
vote for George Clark,
Is he In il?
The people, they quarrel pro and con
every way,
AS regards the result on that great
remote day,
And they talk and they fight then a
drink they do take,
For that's in it.
Now Clark is the man who will "turn
Texas loose"
In minute.
The race he has entered he doesn't
want to lose,
And he'll win it.
Though Hogg is o noun tain of vain,
pompous flesh,
Cur champion is plucky and equally

And he'll stand like tartar, so bold

When he's In it.

determined to surround the building and guard
IL until daylight. The men in the store were

was made. When day broke it was seen that
