LITIGATION Ended.

The Yrigoyen suit which has so long
been pending between a Mexican nam
ed Yrigoyen aud the Corralitos COM
pany, has been finally decided in favor
of the company by the supreme court
in Chihuahua. Mr.. Davis, manager OF
the company, was advised today of the
decision.
Mr.. Davis states that this suit had
no found alton other than a ridiculous
claim made by Yrigoyen that he had
denounced the COrralitos mines as
abandoned" The fact was that at
the time of his announcement more
than hundred miners were actually
employed in them and two hundred
more men and boys were sustained by
the freighting, smelling and other
Industries carried on by the company.
This case was thrown out of court
IN Casas Grandes where the
claim was known to be
an absurdity. 1t was appealed to
Juarez and decided in favor of the
company. A new appeal was taken to
chihuahua before the Supreme Court
where it was again decide d in favor of
the company, thus ending an attempt
to get something for nothing.
The case has had some local import
ance on account of letters published by
YrigOyen and his associates from time
to time in local papers. 1t has now
passed out further cOnsid Grafton.

The LeVee.

Mayor Magoffin's idea regarding
the leve, is mainly to secure the re-
movaI to the river bank, the move
ment through the city of the great
pumber of freight trains and the i'm
meEse amount of switching conseq uent
upon such traffic. AS the city grows,
the noise, particularly the whistling
the traffic increases with the growth
of the country. Tie mayor says the
time is not far distant anyway when
the route through the heart of the
city must be changed. The Texas law
allows the city of Ell Paso to demand a
union station. aud while the city is not
yet pushing the roads to thus unite, it
is only question Of time before this
matter must bs seriously considered.
The best place for a general union
thoroughfare would be on dixie
along the bank of the river, and while
any other road coming into this city in
the future might want to enter in
some other way than over the dixie
road, it is not likely that such would be
the case.
While the passea ger traffic might
not be transferred right away, it would
certainly follow ere long, and then the
central part of the town would be free
from the noise and more or less danger
that must ecessarily keep pace with
the growth of traffic. One great ad-
vantage to the railroads as well as the
pu olic would be the stopping of all this
transferring between the Southern Pa
citic and the Texas & Pacific. At pres
ent the railroads seem to be afraid of
showing their hands to each other, and
all want some one road other than
themselves to take the iniativ9. But
the benefits can not be gainsaid.

The sentiment in favor of a new
school house in ward 2, is growing. In
fact it has attained to such magnitude
that talk of au adobe structure Is being
abandoned, aud $4,000 school house,
a structure the ely would have go3d
reason to be proud of, is being now
talked Of. There is to be shortly q
conference between the city council
and the board of education on this
matter, and the chances are that there
will be a commodious new building
ready for the ward 2 children after the

turning out sal soda, laundry and toilet
soap and their reception by the public is
favorable. Thelaundry soap: Bonita" is
unadulterated and does not roughen the
hands as most laundry soaps do, but
but leaves them soft and tender which
is owing to the high percentage OF
coca nut oil that enters into its
manufacture. Ask your grocer for

MIDDLE-AGED BUT
STILL A CHILD
Death of a Woman Who
Was Thirty Three
Inches Tall.
Her Mind Was No More Devel.
oped Than That of a Little
Baby.
Medical Science Marve,s That She
Lived So Long-Sle Was Thirty
Four Years Old

Catherine Meagher, who though "a
years OF age was only thirty three inches
tall, died on Monday at the residence of
her parents, 304 Valencia street, OF inani-
ton. The case is one of the strangest
that ever came to the notice of the local
medical fraternity and will doubtless be
closely investigated, If the parents will
permit of it, in the interest of science.
Catherine Meagher was born in New
fcundland in 1863 her parents being of
normal height and development and with
nothing about them to indicate any
hereditary popularity that would prod uce
such an offspring.
The child was apparently normal at its
birth, but it was soon noticed that the
only portion of its body that developed
was its head. Nor was the mental devel-
opment in proportion to the increase eff
the cranium. AT eight years old the child
was small for it's age and it's head was of
abnormal size, and after that time there
was no noticeable increase in the size of
the body. The head steadily grew until
the time OF her death it was a large as
that of an ordinary human being.
Other children-girls and boys-were
born to the Meagher family, and all were
normal in size and intellect. few wears
ago the family removed to this City, and
ever since their advent here the unfortu-
nate woman was kept in seclusion. She
had the hands and feet of a baby, the
body of child of and the head of
fully grown person.
The case is remarka BILE from the fact
that persons so afflicted seldom live be-
yond early childhood and even more sell
dom reach the age of 20. She never even
learned to repeat the letters of the alpha.
bet and was constant care 10 her par
ents, though they paid every loving at
tentlon to their unfortunate daughter.
Death came inst as it does TO babies, from
simple lack OF vitality, and the greatest
wonder is that she survived through the
days of her childhood and through the
period that in normal beings would be
early womanhood.
The physician who attended in the case
watched it carefully ana did all in his
power to keep the vital spark from flick.
ering out, but medical science was of no
avail, and the feeble life germ gave way.
The Meagner family refuses 10 give in
formation except to the physician who
attended, and desires the sorrow of their
life to be laid away with as little publicity
as characterized her life

Strange Hallucination of a Man
Hurt in a Railway
Accident.
HIS PLEA TO A KIND-HEARTED
UNDERTAKER.
Would Not Rest Satisfi Until H
Had BEN Show His Severed
Member.

John Qualters, who was badly injured
by being struck by train on the Oakland
broad gauge early on the morning of
March %, has furnished the officials of the
Oakland Receiving Hospital and Morgue
with a sensation that has not been equaled
for many days.
The unfortunate man was found through
the bowling of his little dog, who stood
guard over his master MANNED body and
raised his little voice in an appeal for
help until assistance came. At the Re-
ceiying Hospital it was found that in ad-
dition to dislocated shoulder and other
painful injuries his right leg had been
crushed just above the ankle.
The physicians in charge of the Re-
ceiving Hospital, where Qualters was
taken, tried hard to save the foot, but it
was finally decided that amputatlon was
necessary to save the injured mans life,
and the leg was severed above where the
bone was crushed and sent TO the Morgue
10 be disposed of.
Qualters improved and seemed to pay
little attention TO his loss until the mig ut
following the operation, when the at
tendants were aroused by screams from
his cot. When they went to him he
seemed to be suffering agonies.
He said that the toes of his right foot
were all drawn up against the sole of the
extremity and that their unnatural posi-
ton was causing him the most intense
pain.
His attention was called to the fact tn at
the loot had been ampucated and was
then at the Morgue several blocks away.
II know that" moaned Qualters, but
1t hurts just The same. | know that the
toes are doubled up and l can't stand the
pain"
1t was no use to argue with the patient.
so finally to quiet him the foot was sent
1or and shown him. When he saw that
the toes were in their natural position he
Immediately declared that the pain was
leaving him and within a few moments he
was as comfortable as his wounds would
permit. He insisted that the foot should
be kept at the hospital until morning
which was done TO satisfy him, and he
slept quietly for the remainder of the
night.
In the morning when an undertaken
came to remove the foot and give 1t burial
Qualters asked to see him.
when you put it Under ground" he
pleaded, "please see that it is boxed up
neatly, and be sure that the toes are
straight out as they should be. | know
that If they are not kept in that position l
shall feel It, no matter how my leg Is, and
l don't want a return of that awful pain
\ ou will do that for me, won't you?'
The undertaken promised and Quaiters
seemed satisfied. His chances of recovery
are bright despite the severity of his IN
juries. and he is already talking of the
wooden foot with immovable toes that
will take the place of the one that caused
him SO much trouble.
