OPIUM IN A CORPSE,
One Method Of Embedding the Drug
Into the United States

One Method Of Embedding the Drug
Into the United States.
A remarkable smuggling story was
related to a Sen Francisco Examiner
correspondent by reliable resident
OF National City. According to the
story a corpse was brought across the
line from Mexico, ostensibly to be
shipped to relatives in San Francisco.
1t was not examined very closely, as
the mourners would have resented
too close an inspection of the dead
body, but the informant happened to
be there and his curiosity was ARGUS
ed. He therefore investigated. No.
sooner had the solemn procession got
well away from the line than it chang
ed its course, and instead of going on
toward San Diego went rapidly to-
ward the east, climbed the hills till it
reached Otay mesa, and stopped at
house, where the coffin was taken.
1t was by this time growing dark
and the person who was following was,
puzzled how to continue his investi-
cations. He rode boldly up to the
corral and put up his horse, the occu-
pants of the house being too busy to,
notice his arrival. He then walked
to the house and looked through the
window cautiously. He saw that the
supposed corpse had been turned over
and the whole crowd ofmourners we're
busily engaged in taking out small tin
boxes of opium from the cadaver and
putting them on table.
The observer, feeling that he al
ready knew too much for his own
good and fearful of detection, went
quietly to the corral, saddled his
bronco and departed. He knows the
names of the parties, but will not dis
close them. Hesaid, however, that the
procession was composed OF Mexicans,
but the house where the supposed
corpse was taken belonged to an
American.

LOOK HIM IN THE EYE,

That Is an Easy and Certain Way
to Know Good Horse.
~ never ask about horses traits"
said a horse buyer the other day.
"All want is a good square look in
the face. Once in hundred times I
may mistake the head, but not often
er than that, I believe" It doesn't
require an expert to read horses
faces, either. A person who has never
handled g. horse can saunter down
Broadway any afternoon and point
out the good docile family garbage
horse, the biting horse, the PREACHER
Gus animal, the one likely to kick or
run at any moment, or the proud,
high.splrited horse that may be dan
gerous and yet not vicious in the
least.
The kicking horse, according to the
Sporting World, can nearly always be
singled out by the vicious CLEAN in his
eye, which stamps him a born kicker
OF all horses though, the miserable
looking horse attracts the most at
tention. This is the horse prosecuted
by the check rein. Like women and
men who wear shoes a size too small,
he shows the outward evidence of
misery. Many good natured horses,
horsemen say, have been made fretful
and vicious by being enslaved by the
infamous and cruel check rein. There
are horses broken down by long and
continual service for man, which show
sad facial expression.
These may be found hitched to
drays around town, to rickety wag-
ons OF peddlers and ragpickers, and
occasionally to wagons ofcontractors
and teamsters. Once, perhaps, they
were full of the buoyancy OF youth,
but constant drudgery has made them
mere tools, barely animals.
