UNCLE SAM A BEAR ON SILVER.
The Government Bids II 1-2 Cents
for the Days Offerings.


Washington, July 10.-The treasury
department to-day again arrayed itself
firmly against the silver brokers. It was
the customary day for making a proper
tional purchase of silver on the July ac-
count, and 4sS, 600 ounces were offered
The prices asked ranged from y to 75
cents. They were regarded as too high
bv Acting Director Preston, who made d
counter proposition by offering II y cents
per ounce. That is one-half cent less
than the department paid for its silver
last week, and apparently the silver men
are reluctant to come to these terms, for
llp to the close of Office hours no accept
ances We're received. However, some be-
lated telegrams may come to hand before
the calendar day closes, in which case
they will be opened tomorrow.

CRIES OF MURDER
HEARD ON DIGNoWITY HILL
LAST NIGHT.
A Shot Fired, One Man Injured,
and H. L. Dignowity Placed
Under Arrest.

In the peaceful neighborhood on
Dignowity Hill, last evening, about
$3.50 o'clock, cries Of "Murderw
were heard, coming from the di-
rection of the residence of Henry
l.. Dignowity. Captain Bill Davis,
the father-in-law of Mr.. Dignowity,
was told by his son, of the cries,
saying, papa, Digpowity is killing
Sallie." The two rushed over to the
house, and what took place can
best be related by giving the testi-
mony of Captain Davis.
Captain Davis said in court:
1--WE started over, my son going
ahead of me. / met my daughter,
Dignowity's wife, coming out. She
said Dignowity had kicked her and
her child out of the house, and was
going to kill them, and was going
to kill me too l got my shot gun
to kill him, and the neighbors in
terfered. A shot was fired as / was
leaving, and the supposition is
that he (Dignowity) did the firing.
He has made threats to kill me,
several times, but was not man
enough to do so in my presence"
The evidence of Mr.. Davis son
was then heard. He said:
81 heard screams of "murder"
and / knew it was my sister. When
| went over / asked her what was
the trouble, and she told me. ]
then said, Henry, you can't harm
my sister while | am here. He
made a few remarks and l picked
up a rock and struck him over the
head. He got the best of me, and
struck me several hard blows, and
kicked me out at the gate. | then
started home with my sister and
he fired at me-"
1t was at that time the officers
arrived and arrested Mr.. Digno-
witty on the charge of being dis
orderly.
In court, after the evidence of
young Davis had been taken, the
recorder asked Mr.. Dignowity if he
had any statement to make. He
said:
81 returned home last evening,
and my wife who is subject to fits,
was suddenly taken with one"
"There amt no fits in the family,
your honor" interrupted Captain
Davis.
an the fit she cried murder and
1 thought nothing of it, and tried
to console my little child, who was
crying"
The recorder then said: "Well,
Mr.. Dignowity, you pleaded guilty
to the charge of being disorderly
and will fine you 5000"
Mr.. Dignowity, it has been learn
ed, has given notice of appeal.

ARRESTED FOR KIDNAPPING.
An Atascosa County Man Steals
Away His Child and Is Ar

Some time ago w. T. Morton, re-
siding in Atascosa county, had
some difficulty with his wife, Cora
Morton, and the two parted, the
latter coming with her son,
Stanley, aged 2 years, to this city.
She has been stopping on South
Flores street. Not long since, the
wife, fearing for the safetyof her boy,
appealed to Judge King, who, after
hearing the circumstances,granted
an injunction, enjoining Morton
from bothering or taking the child
away.
Yesterday Morton arrived in
San Antonio, and began to search
for his wife. Learning that she
was quartered on South Flores
street, he repaired about $3.50
o'clock this morning, to the house.
On his arrival he said he simply
desired to see his little son, whom
he loved so dearly. His request was
granted and when the child was
brought before his father, the lat
ter grabbed him and ran. AS soon
as possible word of the kidnapping
was communicated to the police
authorities, and Officers Beck and
Perez went in search of the man and
boy. They hunted for some time
and at last found them. Stanley
was taken to his mother and the
father was. placed under arrest on
the charge of kidnapping, and was
taken before Justice Griff Jones to
answer to the charges preferred.
He was placed under $1,000 bond
and will have a preliminary hear
ing at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
