Still a Mystery.

The runaway, which occurred
Saturday night from the corner of
Iowa and Plum streets, in which a
little Mexican lad was seen to be
caught in the stirrups of a saddle,
is still mystery.
Burt Adams, the boy who tried
to overtake the runaway, turned
back after reaching the Salado and
reported that he lost all trace of
the horse and rider on South
Heights.
This morning a farmer named
Toroski, while coming into the
city, saw a riderless horse near the
Salado and a great deal of blood
was on the saddle, and from this it
is presumed that the boy is lying
in the brush dead.
A party will start out this after
noon on a search for the body

Over the State and in the City.
The Bronchos played their first
baseball game yesterday, the OPP
posing team being the amateurs,
which were defeated by score Of
% to 5. About q thousand people
were present, and they were all
pleased with the new park, but not
quite satisfied with the transport
tation facilities. But Col. Mickle-
john promises to remedy this.
AS for the team that is to repre-
sent San Antonio in the Texas
league this season, there is one
consolation-it is two to one better
than last years Missionaries.
The Bronchos did not show up
as we'll yesterday as was expected,
but this Is attributed to the oppos.

each player were noticed and COM

Percy Griffin, at short, only
played few innings, when he was

also batted and ran the bases we'll.
Crotty at second and Gull at third
did not show up as we'll as was ex-

fair to criticise yesterdays exhibit

Massachusetts, a four-and-a half
day ride, and not having had

till then, much could not be
expected Of him yesterday. Crotty
also, is not yet in working order.
Centerfielder McKeever replaced
Griffin at short and played good
game. He covers lot Of territory.
