BETRAYED HIS TRUST.
A GERMAN SINGER IN DISGRACE.
He Has Left the City in a Hurry
to Escape Prosecution.

The German social circles of this
city are quite disturbed over the
sudden disappearance of Mr.. Ru-
dolph Baumert and family.
There are only a few persons
who know the reason of Mr.. Bau-
merits departure and all seem to
be in the dark as to where he has
gone. Certain it is, however, he has
left the city.
He gave out to his acquain-
tances that his aunt, in Germany,
was seriously. i'll and he was called
to attend her
He was an active member Of two
leading German singing societies.
He possessed good second bass
voice and was very popular. He
held the position of stock clerk for
Mr.. George Dullnig for two years
past, and this is where the trouble
comes in. Mr.. Dullnig and his
head clerks, some time ago, no.
ticed that ,o2e'of their old custo-
mers had dropped off. They could
make nothing out of it, as to why
she should leave. They found later
that the customer had not dropped
off, but had simply been going to
the back way and getting supplies
Mr.. Baumert was suspected,
watched and caught up with. He
made a false return Of bill OF
goods sold and then pOcketed part
of the proceeds.
allow long this has been going
on l don't know" said Mr.. Dullnig
to LIGHT reporter yesterday
"But we caught up with him
through a lady he had sold
some goods to and made only
partial return, and wher
1 charged him with it, he turned
pale as a sheet. I told him l would
give him twenty-four hours to
leave the city, and he left. | an
sorry, now, that he has gone, for
would have laid the matter before
the grand jury next week"
Baumert lived in an alley be
tween Centre and Goliad streets
near Water street, in one
Of Mrs. Haller's houses. HI
disposed of his household goods
at sacrifice and since then he anC
his family have not been seen il
the city. If he should return it il
highly probable he will be prose
cuted by Mr.. Dullnig.

SHORT STOPS.

What the People are Saying.
On next Tuesday registration of
voters will be opened at the county
court house. Each voter who pre-
sents himself for registration must
give their names, street address
and county precinct in which they
live.
1t is the duty of every good citi-
zen to register in order that he
may be entitled to vote. 1t re-
quires but very little time and in
convenience. If fact every citizen
should look upon the requirements
surrounding his right of franchise
with pride and pleasure.
The law requiring registration is
intended to secure in advance, a
list of legal voters and thereby ex-
clude from the right to vote illegal
voters who might be pushed into
the voting places by the mob, and
also to reduce the chances for re-
peating and fraud.
The present law must be amend
ed and made more perfect, but i'm
perfect as it is, if honestly carried
out, lisa great Improvement over
the old slip-shod method.
Every intelligent American citi-
zen, native or foreign born, feels
disguised when he witnesses the
ballot-box invaded by ignorance,
and controlled by trickery. The
Australian law is an effort to guard
the ballot.box.
Complaint has been made that
election officers have heretofore ig-
nored the plain provisions of the
law and openly violated the secrecy
of the ballot-box. The same off,
GERS, if no restraints or guard were
put upon them, would stuff the
ballot.bo
The registration should be
guarded by a strict challenge of
voters as to their right to register.
The qualifications are first of all
American citizenship; one years
residence in Texas and six months
in the county.
There. are sixteen precincts in
the city. Pick out your county
precinct; there are two precincts in
each city ward. Don't make any
mistake.
