THREATENING ACTIONS.
A Revolver Drawn by a Mexican
Near the l. and G. n. Depot.

near the 4. anu u N. DepOb'
At about 80 yesterday afternoon 5. O..
Mills, who is working on a new building
going up near the corner of San Marcos
and Morales streets, stopped his work for
few minutes and stepped off from the
building. He met a Mexican laborer
named Graciano Ramirez, who told HIM
to go back to work. Mills paid no atten
ton to him but the Mexican became more
personal and ordered him back. Mills
told him that he was not the boss and
started to leave. The Mexican then said.
in his own language: Isn't what | say
good ," Mills said it was not where he
was concerned The Mexican then pulled
a revolver, cooked and leveled it. Mills
jumped at him and caught it by the bar
rel and placed his thuHb between the
cartridge. and the lock- The latter came
down when the Mexican pulled the trig-
ger, and buried itself in Mills thumb but
did not explode the cartridge. Mills
struck his adversary, knocked him down,
and wrenching the gun from him sent for
the police and had him run in.
This morning at the trial before the
recorder it appeared as though the MeXi-
can had tried to XIII Mills without any
cause whatever, and he was therefore
fined $3.50 and 60 days for carrying piStol,
while the case OF drawing pistol in a
threatening manner was dismissed. Mills
lives at the corner of San Marcos and
Perez streets.

SeIfCoiIected Brides.

Chicago Journal.
- It's q surprising fact that the bride
is almost always the one to bear the
trials and entertainments of the we'd
ding ceremony with the most forti-
tude aud sang. froid, despite the fact
that she invariably is the focus tor
every eye. A shy, modest-looking
little creature, robed in white, will
stand perfectly erect, looking the
minister calmly and sgusrely In the
eye, without for al instant losing her
self poise, while the big, blunt,
footer of bridegroom by her side is
pale and nervous and trembling.
The bride very seldom makes any
mistake, either during the ceremony
or at the still more trying reception
sfterward; while the man is almost
always sure to put both feet in it, and
then founder about in despair, until
his better halt comes to his rescue
and gives him the first chance to ap.
preciste the advantages of having
some one 10 take care of him.
During the ceremony the chances
for the groom to make mistakes are
not macy. The most common one is
for him to get names mixed up. At a
recent wedding at the most fashion
able church below Twenty-third
street the groom calmly announced:
81, Annie, take thee, Harold, to be
my lawful welded wife" The bridal
party, who were the only ones who
heard IL, were cOnvulsed, and even
the stalwart young minister could
not repress q twinkle in his eyes.
Another much ratified young man,
when asked if he took the young
woman to be his welded wife, stared
nonpulsed at the minister for fully
ten seconds, then asked, blankly:
BEG pardon. were you speaking to
me?" Still another, when h uded
the ring, instead of passing it along,
began nervously trying to put it on
his own finger, and was only aroused
by a sharp little pinch.

Another Held for Arson.

Yesterday afternoon Justice Adam
finished the fire inquest which has
been secretly held for several days,
on the fire in the Heideman manu-
featuring company's room on Main
plaza. He gave verdict holding
Selig Deutschmann, principal member
of the said company, on the charge of
arson requiring him TO give bond Of
$1,000. Deutschmann was arrested
and gave the bond. The evidence on
which he is held is that few minutes
after the fire started he was seen at
the building, when he stated that he
was in his room at the time the fire
started, on Losoya street.
Deutschmann says he can prove an
alibi by Mr.. Lang and others. He
says Breusing only swears that he
heard his voice and did not see him.
If there had been an open examine
tion he could haveproduced witnesses
to show every place he went on the
night of the fire.

SEEMING for Bass,

Mr. James Bennett. who is Summering

\ MEXICAN "TRUE CHRIST"
treaties Rebellion in the Village of To-

creates Rebellion I'm the village of To-
machic, chihuahua.
Ell PAsO, Tex, May 12.-According to
information received here a remarkable
condition of affairs has existed in the
Mexican village of Tomachic, in south
west Chihuahua, 200 miles from the city
of Chihuahua. For several months the
village has been in open rebellion
against the government. The trouble
was caused by the appearance in the
village some time ago of an old
man who proclaimed himself as
the true Christ. He impressed
himself so thoroughly upon the
slmple-minded villagers that they
abandoned their work to follow the al
legged Christ Troops We're sent by the
government to the village, with orders
to stop the meetings of the followers of
the man. The people, however. ex-
horted by their leader, attacked the
soldiers and drove them to the noun
talns, several being killed in the fight.
"A detachment of cavalry and infantry
have been sent to the place under
orders to attack it on all sides. capture
the alleged Christ and clean his follow
ers out. They are said to be nearly
starved, but stOutlv believe in the man.
