| Eight DAYS ago negro boy named Sam
| Stevens was arrested by the local police
| for passing counterfeit money. Detect
i've Shelly and Marshal bruce put him
under a severe cross-eXaminatlon. under
which Stevens broke down and made Il
confession, duplicating several others.
Investigation of the premises occupied by
the parties implicated resulted i'll the
finding of moulds, casts and other coun-
| terfeiting paraphernalia, but Detective
| Shelly was working on trail with crust
on it, the parties having left the city
on the night when Stevens was arrested
| They went direct to Wilson county.
where they got into trouble for alleged
theft of bale of cotton. The party,
consisting of three men and a woman
and girl, were travelling in two farm
wagons and an express wagon. 1t Is
alleged that en- route they stole a bale
of cotton of Il Mexican farmer and con-
tinued on their way to FlOrcsville. The
Mexican, on discovering the theft. struck
the fresh trail with a small posse and
overlook the outfit. Both sides are al
legged to have drawn pistols and rifles.
but the Mexicans hastily withdrew and
summoned more help. A justice of the
peace at the little settlement of Fair
view. Wilson county, got to horse inn
mediately and at the head of an armed
band set out after the alleged thieves.
They, in the mean time. it is alleged. had
dumped the bale of cotton in the brush
and were making haste to get out of the
neighborhood. For minute it appeared
os thouph tho Marty and the DOSSp would
come to a pitched battle. but when the
armed band surrounded them they sub
mitted to arrest. The posse took the
men, consisting of j. \. Palmer and Geo.
Dixon, all of them residents of San An
tonic, to Fairview and then to Flores
vile. where they We're given preliminary
trials. Palmer and Dixon Were held on
the charge of the theft of the bale of
cotton. Another of the party. about
whom the police are DESTROYS of obtain
ing information, accompanied by his wife
and child. after few days, left Flores
vile in their wagon. Palmer and Dixon
were arrested under the aliases of Jones
and Williams. Detective Shelly saw an
account of the arrest of the men i'll the
newspapers. and, taking the negro Steven
to the preliminary trial at Floresville,
had Palmer and Dixon identified as the
alleged pals of Stevens in the counter
feiting business.
An attempt has been made to have the
men brought to San Antonio for their
trial. first on the charges of counterfeit
ing The whereabouts of the fourth
party could not be learned. He drove off
in covered wagon. with tent and tent
poles strapped to the side and drawn by
two rather shabby, thin sorrel horses.
His wife and daughter accompanied him.
Afiidayits are out against him also.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF the Supervising Special Agent of the
Treasury.

Washington. Nov. ID. j. Crowley,
supervising special agent of the treasury,
in his annual report, states that the mum
Der of arrests made during the year Tor
violations of the customs law was IS;
number of seizures, 1856; suits COM
menced SO; amount involved in suits:
S97, 213; monies recovered on account OF
seizures. $10,S0I; on account of fines, ETC.,
S34 1858: on account of underyaluatlons
and erroneous classifcations discovered,
$4,000
The receipts for the year exceeded
those of the preceding year by SS,OoS, lSS.
while the costs of collection were not
appreciably increased:
Opium smuggling, the report says, has
decreased largely during the last year. as
the result, principally, to the reduction
of the rate of duty from So to Sc.
The Joint resolution of congress. ap-
proved March /, 1895. prohibiting The
transportation through the united
States of merchandise destined for places
in the free zone in Mexico, Mr.. Crowley
says. has been nullified by the practice
which now obtains of shipping goods 10
the free zone by way of Mexican seat
ports. and the only apparent result ac'
complshed by the legislation referred &c
has been the loss of business to Amerl,
can railway companies. 1t is suggested
that the removal of the restrictions I'M
posed at least TO the extent of allowing
the Transportation of goods consigned Il
places in Mexico from the seaboard tt
the Mexican frontier under the usua
TRANSFORMATION entries would involve NJ
danger of loss to the revenues OF Inc
government.
