An Alarm Clock Exposes a Number
of Petty Thefts.
For some months the residents of
that portion of the city near the I. &
G. n. depot have sustained
small losses from thefts. Sunday
night week ago the store owned by
the Volmer Brothers was burglarized
and amongst other things taken was
an alarm clock, whose alarm was set
by key not attached to the clock,
and which was set at $50 a. m. A
Mexican family named Rosa lived
across the street from the Volmer
Brothers, and after the robbery they
were surprised to hear every morning
at $50 O'Clock, an alarm clock SCUM d
in the Mexicans' house. This ex.
cited their suspicious and the city
detectives were notified. Van Ripper
and O'Meara went to the Mexican's
house but were refused admittance.
Thereupon they returned to head
quarters and had q search warrant
sworn out and armed with this en-.
tered the house and searched 1t.
They found clock that an
swered exactly to the one lost
by the grocery men and also found
that the Mexican had no key to it.
therefore could not change it from the
hour it was set. Besides this several
other articles which the detectives
have descriptions OF were found.
Some of them were some fine mats
which were stolen from the house on
West Commerce street, which 10 run
by Mrs Atkinson, Here, three weeks
ago, q man entered the house, took
everything he could find, played u
tune on the piano and then coolly left
the house. A girl saw the whole pro-
cess but was go badly frightened that
she could not give the alarm.
After searching the place, the de.
tectives returned to the city hall and
dispatched Mounted Officers Brown
and Beck to make the arrest. The
only man found was q youth named
Victoriano de la Rosa. He was ar
rested and placed in jail, charged
with being q suspicious character.
Yesterday his father, Theosa de Ia
Rosa, was arrested under the same
charge. Graciano Ramirez, a brother
in-law to young Rosa. is already in
jail for carrying pistol. He recently
attempted to shoot o s. Mills, at q
was fined $3.50 and 60 days in jail.
Charges of q more serious nature will
be brought against them.
1t is thought that these people had
something to do with the attempt to
rob Mrs. Rice, some mon this ago, W hen
one got shot for his trouble.

A Bold Act.

An apparent tramp called at the
residence of ]. w. Fortune, on Madi-
son street, this morning at 8 O'Clock,
and finding no one at home excepting
the four little children, demanded q
"hand.out" of food. The little ones
informed him that their mother was
not at home and that they could not
grant his request. He then asked for
q shirt and did not receive 1t. Then
he insisted on having . spool Of
thread and this was given him. He
frightened the children terribly and
one of them ran across the street and
telephoned for the mounted officers,
who appeared quickly on the scene.
The intruder seeing them coming ran
and could not be found.

DANGEROUSLY WOUNDED.
Al. Nolan Stabbed by a Negro in Hi
Own House.

Al. Nolan Stabbed by a Negro in His
Own House.
Saturday night at about IL O'Clock
Al. Nolan, q hack driver of this city
was sitting In his house on Was ning-
ton Square, rocking his baby to sleep,
when a negro commenced to pound
on the door and demand admission
Nolan told him to leave. Upon hear -
ing this the man burst through the
door and rushed at Nolan. Al. quickly
laid the child aside and struck his
assailant IN the face. Not, however,
until he had received several serious
stabs from the knife in the
negro's hand. Nolan finally sue
ceeded in overpowering his would
be murderer and held him
until Sanitary Inspector Cara
arrived aud made the arrest. Both
men were taken to the police head
quarters. The negro, whose name Is
Jim Scott, was locked up in the Jail
under the charge of assault to kill
and Nolan was taken to drug store
near by, where his wounds were
examined by physician and dressed.
He had several gashes on mis-
body, the most severe being on
his arms and all were badly swollen.
The cause of the swelling, it is
thought, was that the knife used had
its blade POISONED. HsrtshOrn was
given him and after some time and
hard work the poison was counter
acted and the patient will recover.
There was no reason given by either
of the men for the assault, but it is
thought that an old enmity exists be-
tween them.

A THREATENED REER WAR
To Freeze Out the Local Brewerics
is Wisely Abandoned

1t has been represented that Mr.. A.
Busch, of the Anheuser Busch Brewing
company, ST. Louis, came here to over
look the Lone Star Brewery, of which he
holds the controlling power and to make
arrangement for the extension OF its buSi-
ness. That in part may be true, but il is
stated on good authority that Mr.. Busch
had the idea of starting beer war"
here by an immense cut in prices with the
idea of freezing out the other brewer1eS.
This is no new system, for IL Is being
practiced now in Fort Worth, where the
Anheuser- Busch beer is SOLD at - per
barrel to freeze out the local brewery.
and the same game was recently played
by the same company in Kansas City.
Mr.. Busch, however, very prudentIy
came here TO overlook the ground and
make careful inquiries into the situation.
He found that San Antonians were proud
of their breweries, that the local beer
was good and that in the event of beer
war it was more than probable that
the people would increase the liberal
support of the other local breweries
and that by this means much money
would be- sunk and the end frustrated.
For this reason war was not declared and
all remains in Statu quo.
On the same auth ority it is learned that
while Mr.. Busch carefully examined the
Alamo Brewery and its business, IL is
scarcely probable that he will buy it. He
would like to hold all the breweries and
would place them all under one manage
ment, reducing the expenses, monOpOli2-
ing the trade and making business more
profitable. To do this he would only
have to acquire the controlling interest.
This he might possibly get in the City
Brewery but the Alamo Brewery must be
sold out clock, stock and barrel for the
benefit of the creditors of the Sam Nav
erick estate. This is the rock upon which
the local com bination has split and there
is little chance of the situation being
chanppd

went to cash the check there was no

had been. Dunmore reported the matter
to the authorities with the above result.
When arrested Seller had $3.50 on his per-
