A boy named Garcia, who twice placed

of a train, will he shot tomorrow at
Pachuca, under the new law suspending
constitutional guarantees in the case of
persons obstructing public mails or rail
way trains. Garcia's father has commit
ted suicide by Throwing himself in front
of train ON the same road, being frantic
with grief over the fate of his son. The
new law is being universally enforced,
the penalty having been inflicted on a
man in the state of Jalisco for obstructing
the track of railway. American rail-
way men approve the plan, as do also the
Mexican railway operators and employees.
Experience has demonstrated that moth
ing but the death penalty will stop rail-
way wrecking. The same law was in
force two years ago and then was sus-
pended with the result of an increase IN
attempts to wreck trains.

CHAPTER III.

And now comes the tragical part of
the whole proceeding in the story told
Justice johnson by the father and which
was later CLEANED by the reporter from
Justice Johnson. The narrative is that
on the day of the marriage the gentle
men named above as kidnappers and the
bridegroom called at the residence of the
bride elect with the intention of perform
ing the marriage ceremony.
The mother of the girl protested very
vigorously against the marriage and
stated that the girl was not of age and
could not marry without her parents
consent. While the mother was still
protesting, n brother of the girl APP
peared on the scene, coming from the
house, carrying rather an ugly looking
gun. He was quickly disarmed by Dave
Mckenzie and the war of words con-
tinued Finally. so it is charged, the
Rev. Mr.. Strayhorn said that if the
people would not let the young folks
marry there at home, why. if the crowd
would 90 over into a near by grove, he
would perform the ceremony there. His
proposition was accepted, the marriage
ceremony was performed and thus was
laid the train for the big powder eXplo-
sion that promises to go off in the JUS
tees courts here in the near future.

A MARRIAGE BETWEEN TWO
AUSTIN PEOPLE CREATES A
CONNECTION.
THE FATHER SUES OUT PAPERS
IN THE JUSTICES COURTS
AGAINST EVERYBODY.
The Marriage License Was Secured on
the Statement That the Girl Was
Is Years Old-A Preacher Mixed
up in the General Row.

Since time immemorial we have been
told that love has had hard row to hoe
IN this world While everybody loves q
lover they are constantly protesting
agmst his enjoying a realization Of his
VOWS. While this is the case in many in.
stances the world over, it is especially
the case here in Austin. The first parti.
cipants in this little story made their ap.
pearance on Saturday last. AT this time
one Alick Mckenzie appeared, so the story
runs, in County Clerk Hornsby's office
land told Chief Clerk Ed Huppertz that
he and young lady named Nealie Glenn
wanted to get married. Colonel Ed told
Mr.. Mckenzie that that office was the
proper place to come in such cases and
that he could incubate the necessary pa.
pers while he waited. He asked the age
of the young lady and Mr.. Mckenzie
stated that it was IS years. Colonel
Ed looked up at the ceiling and said in
solemn tones: do you swear to it."
Il do" was the reply.
This settled it. The marriage license
was issued, the young man disappeared
and nothing more was thought of the
matter. Dozens of marriage licenses are
issued monthly from this office and moth
ing is thought of such transactions, and
such was the case in this instance.
