RICHES ~ 4 HOLE.
At the Bottom OF a Texas Pool s, $500.
900 I'm Gold and silver.

In the early part OF the present century,
when San Antonio was the home OF many
wealthy Spaniards and the commercial
centre Of all OF northern Mexico, a mule
train started for that city from the CITY
or Mexico. There were thirty mules. each
loaded with 5000 silver dollars and a con-
siderable amount of gold coin, the total
amount being about $500 900
The caravan was In charge OF CAPTAIN
Palacio, Flores, a prominent and trusted
employe of the Government In addition
to the drivers Of the mule train there
were about fifty weli-armed and equipped
guards. The old and well-worn national
highway through San Luis Potosi and
Monterey was taken. and the dangerous
mountain defies south Of Saltiiio were
passed without any attack on the train
being made. The Rio Grande river was
crossed few miles above Laredo, and the
train made its way rapidly toward San
Antonio.
In those days the national highway
passed through what is now Dimmit coun-
ty. Tex, following the bank OF Pena creek
for several miles. On the bank Of that
stream was a favorite camping place,
which Is now called Brand Rock Water
Hole This hole Is located at sharp
bend in the steam. and is OF unfathomable
depth. although IL evidently has a natural
bottom, as the water In IL does not pass
into any interior cavity.
When this camping place was reached
Captain Flores decided TO remain there a
few days. resting the mules. preparatory
to making the one hundred miles still
remaining between there and San Antonio.
He considered that all the dangerous
portion OF the country had been passed
through, and only left ten men on guard
the first night. Even this number seemed
unnecessary, as there were no signs OF
any attack. and no pickets were posted
next day. ASA.
1t was about noon on that day when
a band OF brigands suddenly rushed upon
the unprotected camp out OF dense
liveoak thicket Captain Flores and his
men were taking their MONDAY siesta
when the attack was made. but they did
not submit without a desperate struggle.
The bags OF gold and silver were piled in
a heap near the deep water hole and
when Captain Flores found that the bri-
gands were about to get possession OF
the wealth he ordered the drivers to
throw 1T all into the placid pool. The
command was obeyed, and the brigands
massacred every member OF the mule train
party. with the exception of a driver
named Alejondro Lajero, who succeeded
In making his escape. proceeding to San
Antonio. where he gave an account OF the
terrible adventure, airecord of which''was
made at that time and Is still In exist
cree here. His story was dscredited
until the parties 10 whom Il had. been
consigned made an investigation. and
found the bones Of the victims and evil
dences that the bandits had tried to re-
cover the wealth from the pool.
Attempts were then uads to explore

THOUGHT HE MAD EN-.
The Effect Of a Living Ornament on
Man with n Troubled Conscience.

A tipsy travelling man took an impress
sive VOW never again to taste liquor
Yesterday He was IN earnest. too He
had good reason to be, for he thought
he had 'em. This is how IL happened:
l.. B. Dyke a Colorado mine owner, on
his way from st. Augustine. Fla. went
into the bar-room of the Great Northern.
Among other curious things picked up
In the city Of the Southeastern PENN
sula he had fine chameleon, a little
fellow with body about an inch and
a half long and a tapering tail two inches
long This he wore as a scarf-pn, hav-
ing IL tethered 10 his tie by Il fine gold
chain. AT the bar stood travelling man,
who was telling his companions in
maudlin tone of wonderful connection
of mixed drinks he had discovered. Hap
pening to glance at Mr.. Dyke he caught
sight of the chameleon. The glance was
a casual one, but soon became fixed in
intensity. The cha meleon seemed to fas-
cinate him. He was able to look away
from II but for an instant at a time,
and then his gaze was divertedd towards
the untouched glass of liquor i'm front Of
him. Finally he seemed unable TO stand
the suspense longer and approached Mr..
Dyke.
Pardon me-" ne said in a husky voice,
but that's a queer scarf-pin you wear"
you are mistaken. sir; wear no
soarf-pin.'
'What?"
II wear no pin In my scarf" AS II
TO emphasize his denial he brushed his
hand lightly over the pin The chame-
leon ran rapidly to the end of the chain
and rested Oh his coat collar.
Great heavens. man, II moved! It's
alive" exclaimed the travelling man.
Its on your coat collar now"
"Oh, I guess you're mistaken. See:
there is nothing there" and again the
hand touched the animated pin. This
time the chameleon ran down out or
sight beneath Mr.. Dykes vest.
mo. there is nothing there" said the
travelling man slowly. He stood there
fully minute. apparently Obvious to
all surroundings. A fearful possibility
seemed to present itself to him. Finally
he raised his right hand. II swear
will never touch another drop of liquor
again as long as live. I've often heard
of them, but never thought I'd see EN-"
and. leaving the liquor untouched. he
slowly walked to the elevator and had a
bell-boy show him to his room.

men wear them for ornaments"
