do not help the more. Stockdale, with
mere bagatelle of ability, alongside San

"MAY NEVER RETURN"
The Committee Looking Over the
Site Of the Proposed Depot.

The committee appointed by the city
council, consisting of Aldermen Newton,
Beckmann, Daugherty and Engineer Pan
coast assembled at the Clifford block this
morning, and in company with President
Davis, Chief Engineer r. H. Gresham
and DR.. Clifford, of the Gulf Shore road,
left for the site of the proposed depot Of
the San Antonio and Gulf Shore.
Alderman Daugherty kept the crowd
in good humor in his usual jovial man
ner. A reporter asked him when they eX-
pected to return to make their report.
The little alderman replied: That's
very uncertain. They may meet us out
there with shot guns and we may never
return, or those big dogs might chase us
and the road clean down to Yoakum."
