Several Reported in Which There
Appears to be Nobody Hurt

There was a run away on Hous.

mans burro attached to a cart.
A runaway of a saddled horse
took place yesterday evening on s.
Laredo street.
A runaway horse with the rem
nants of a harness dangling about
him, ran into a chile stand on
Milan Square yesterday evening,
after coming out of East street.
The horse was captured by Officer
Ingle.
officer Gonzales captured a run
away horse with a piano-bOX bug
CIV on West Commerce street last
night.
Early yesterday morning while
riding furiously in answer to a tel
ephone call from Government Hill
that a woman was being killed by
her husband, Policeman Cows big
horse became unmanageable and
ran away with his rider for two
blocks. Mr.. COy's pistol dropped
from its holster, his cartridge belt
fell off and he was considerably
shaken up, but was not thrown
He had just eaten a hearty supper
or lunch and the ride jOlted him
up so badly as to cause him a severe
spell of illness and Officer Monte2
was substituted for him last
night.
Tuesday night last, almost a
runaway was caused on Houston
street in front Of |. 0. O. +. hall
Mr.. Paul Bach had left his buggy
standing close to the curbing while
he attended the meeting. When
he came down and went to step in
to the buggy, he found that one Of
the front wheels had been broken
off, probably by some passing hack
which carelessly drove by too close
! to the buggy, although having the
whole street on the other side IL
which to pass.

sTHB LOITER.

THE PELADOs- HOME-By the
appellatiop, "peladO," is generally
meant a good for nothing element
of the commoner class of Mexicans.
You can scarcely call the term
synonymous with "hobo'or tramp,
for the pelado is a far more in
dustriOus creature, but heaven
knows how little tnat does say in
his favor. He is a man of family,
usually very large family,
aud the proud posses sor OF house,
usually a very small, rude, brush
covered concern, put up on any
vacant lot. 1t is known as a
jacal and is furnished with bed
ding and few cooking utensils.
Here he sleeps, eats and lounges
away in abject laZiness, the heated
parts Of the long summer days.
His wife and very frequently an
individual who passes only as his
wife, looks after the affairs of the
jacal, from attending to the wants
of her numerous children and their
lOrdly protector to supplying the
wherewith to run the institution,
for although the peladO now and
then puts in good, hard days
work for which he receives re-
Enumeration Of from - cents to
Sl.2j, his more industrious half
plays in particularly fine luck, if
she succeeds in anchOring on to
fifteen or twenty cents Of his
wages. Some times, through
pawning some body else's pair of
shoes, tools or trinkets, he will
find himself the pOssessOr of as
much coin as one or two days hard
work will bring. OF this, the lady
of mis- jaCal gets sometimes pro-
portion, the size of which de-
ponds upon the stage of the
debauch at the time when she
finds him. This is the extent of
his contribution to the "jacalhold"
expenses. in return for which he
can sleep at the place during the
nights when not in the city lock-
up or gaming room, lounge around
during the day when not roaming
about the saloons or cockpits and
call the lady Of the jacal his own
birdie, when he is sober, and kick
and cuff her and all her little ones
to his hearts content, when reek-
ing and fuming with trans-San
Pedro liquor. That the very Occa.
sional contribution, which the pei.
ADDS dusky cOnsOrt succeeds in
wringing from him does not meet
the running expenses of the little
jacal with it's large family, is very
evident, and this financial void the
jaCal woman fills by some clever
begging and stealing, in which
such of her little ones as are ole
enough, play a quite important
role.

A Satisfac tory Explanation.

To the Daily LIGHT.
/ see the LIGHT refers twice to
delay in delivery Of telegram to
Emil Blum, relative to members of
Belknap Rifles going to Austin, etc.
The facts are as follows: The mes
sage was read at 1880 p. m, care
of the Harmony club, and was sent
out promptly at II p. m. The boy
found the Club closed we reported
back to Austin at once this fact,
and heard no more from it. If
senders OF messages want their
messages delivered after our de-
livery hours they must give resi-
dence address and arrange for de-
livery charges; we did our part in
this case. It's a good idea to hear
both sides of any question anyway.

His Face Was His Fortune.

On the southern edge of Phelps county
lives Scott Swartzlander, who is consid-
cred the ugliest man in Missouri, and
there are some of his neighbors who will
bet his equal cannot be produced from
any quarter.
Swartzlander, who is 30 years old, has
white hair, eyes like a Chinaman, no eye
brows, a nose of abnormal proportions,
which lops over almost to his cheekbones
and is ornamented at the end with a
beautiful comic bulb.
He is lark and tall, and there are nu-
merous other imperfections that add to
this picture of general and particular
ugliness.
Swartzlander was arrested. once for
cutting timber on government lands in
Pulaski county, and when his trial came
up at Springfield before the United
States court the prisoner was promptly
arraigned. While the district attorney
was reading the judge said, addressing
the district attorney:
."You may enter nolle p-Osequi in the
prisoners case. After careful scrutiny
of his physiognomy am convinced that
any man who is compelled to carry that
face is punished quite enough for the
amount of lumber which he is charged
with having unlawfully taken from gov
ernment lands. You are discharged. Mr..
Swartzlander. Go as quickly as you can
and don't forget to take your face with
you. st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
