TWO TEXAS ADVENTURES.

They Fall Into the Hands of Alameda
Street Women.
William Bowen and 2. s. Seymour,
two young men from Midland, Tex, had
an experience last night upon Alameda
street. They were taking in the city.
They arrived from Texas on visit day
or two ago end stopped at the Natick
house, on First street. Last night they
drifted into crib on Alameda street,
where George Palmer piled her trade.
She got another girl, named Ada Blacnh-
ard, and they sought to entertain the
young men from Texas.
One of the visitors very soon missed
$25 which he had in his pocket, and
accused the girl OF the theft. She de-
MED it, and tried to patch up truce by
saying they would get hack and all
take ride. The boys had become
stirred up, however, and went after the
police. Sergeant Morton and Officer
Mackenzie we're found, and the women
were arrested and brought to the station.
They were locked up, and the Texas
youths put up $40 each for their appear

consisting Of gentleman, his wife and
sister, O young high school girl. They
started in at the joss house, where all
the magnificence OF the heathen god was
examined with much curiosity. The
officer wore his Uniform; and before the
joss house was done the party had in
creased by several ladies and gentlemen.
Like SNOWFALL the party increased as
they went along. By the time some of
the narrow passageways in the buildings
visited were thoroughly explored there
were by actual count 45 men, women
and boys tagging along. They got mixed
up in the dark Railways, and before the
sightseers had gone the rounds the police
man lost his original party and never
found them again, while the crowd
In attendance had become 60 inextrica-
bly, confused that it required about 20
minutes to get them all safely out OF the
labyrinthine passages, where they were
trying to inspect the methods of life in
cident to the quarter.
On every side yesterday could be heard
the screechiug of the tom-tom and
