about two years ago and went one night
to Saltillo. the capital of the State. II was
the first time he had been in the town, and.
after transacting a little business, he
started out to see the sights. AS he en-
tered an isolated street he was suddenly
confronted by a brigandish looking fellow
who. In glib mongrel Spanish. demanded his

Naturally. the surprise caused by the

AT the preliminary trial of the would-be

he asked If IL were not an offense for
strangers in the country TO carry concealed

he demanded the arrest of the young sales

the charge was true. This was admitted.
He was then asked If he still had the
weapon concealed on his person. The young
man said he had, but pleaded that its pos
