NEW BRAUNFELs PICNIC.
Small Crowd But Great Time Ex-
perlenced BY All.


Buck Hice's first excursion of
the season happened yesterday.
New Braunfels was the place to
which the train carried the $50 ex-
cursionists who availed themselves
of the chance to get out of nice,
dry city into wet, miserable,
high priced little village. Three
bands and a colOred quartet fur
nished the music. Among the
gun club members who attended
were Messrs. Samuels, Kelly, Franz,
Critzer, Biesenbach, Learn, Wagon
fuhr, Gloeckner, Ed. and Albert
Dreiss, J. Frank, Thiele, Veith,
George, Faurote, Vernon, Phillips,
Rothwell, Paris and Hice.
The first train was late in start
ing and met heavy rain at Day.
export, which continued all
the way to New Rraunfels, where
the unhappy excursionists found
everything muddy and dirty. The
day was spent in dancing, eating
and drinking and other amuse-
ments, The picnic grounds were
rot we'll policed and several fights
took place in consequence, though
Alderman Hice did all he could to
preserve order and had several
scraps" in doing so. A great many
people stayed in New Braunfels in
preference to wading in mud, but
they Jared little better on account
Of the heavy drain made upon
every pocket for extra prices
charged for eatables and other
purchases.
The trains were not run back to
the city on schedule advertised
and this caused great inconveni
ence to many who were tired o.
the affair. Mr.. Hice is unstinteC
in his complaint of the Treatment
received from the railway com
pany and lays the blame for thii
on them. He says the next excur
sion will not be to New Braunfels
1t will be to Austin in a few week
time. He will charter the dan
steamer, Ben Hur, have a run VI
the big lake and have dancing OF
the boat and a good old fashioned
steam boat excursion, generally.

Bit by a Dog.

Mr.. Albert Maverick was severe
ly bitten on the hand by bull dog
belonging to T. F. Kerr, in front Of
France & Thiele's gun store, at
about 1920 o'clock this morning.
Mr.. Maverick had just alighted
from his bicycle and was entering
the door when the dog attacked
him without warning. Mr.. M. i'm
mediately proceeded to Schasse's
drug store, where his wounds were
cauterized. The dog had always
accompanied Mr.. Kerr and was
never considered vicious.

Democrats of this county as a local
matter IN 1873 by which we got rid of

now. We gave the Republicans some
ministerial and minor offices and one
representative in the Legislature, the
candidates to be approved by our
executive committee and all acting

| met recently deputy United
States marshal, who gave me history
of how he and his boss are carrying on
business in the northern district. He
is reliable man in every respect, and
have known him long and well and
can youch for his veracity. He said
that every man under the marshal
had been politely but distinctly in
formed that II he became intoxicated
he would be discharged without cerc-
mony. A clean and efficient officer
who had a weakness now and then for
red liquor on one occasion had little
too much, which he attempted to con-
ccal, but finding that his sin had
found him out, made the most humble
apologies and promises of future good
behavior, but all in vain. He was
made to walk the plank, though q
good officer when free from liquor.
| Another rule they made and adhere to
rigidly is that any officer who arrests
man merely for the fees, and has no
good ground to believe the man guilty,
will be discharged. You see by these
rules that U. S. Marshal Guyton runs
his Office on a high plane. What Il
pity it is that he has not under him

them out and put decent, sober and

paper and not pay for it on the ground
that he did not subscribe for it. or
move away, leaving it to come to the
