The friends of prominent Ameri-
can business man of Houston, Texas,
who registered at the Hotel Guardiola,
Sunday afternoon, called at the offices
of the chief of police last evening for
the purpose of invoking that official q
assistance in locating the whereabou is
of the party in question. They express
ed fears that the missing mans mind
has become suddenly deranged, basing
their opinion on the fact that soon after
his arrival he destroyed large quanti-
ty of bank bills representing hand
some sum by casting them into the fire.
Out of consideration for his business,
social and family relations his name is
withheld from publication. The hope
is furthermore entertained that the
mental alteration is of temporary ma

persons.

acquaintances, passed u very restless

BRUTAL HOLD-UPS.
Ramon Arias Brutally Assaulted, shot
and cut, and left Unconscious.


San Elizario was the scene of a brutal
affair at p. M, yesterday. Three
unknown thieves got into the house of
Constable Ramon Arias while he was
away last evening, and were ransack-
ing the premises, when he unexpected
ly returned.
Immediately on entering the door,
Arias was attacked by the thugs. They
aimed long knife at his vitals, but
missed them, and cut his clothes On
the sides and his arms. Then they
struck him in the head with the but
ends of their guns, as he fought
valiantly for his life, and
finally shot directly in his face.
The bullet struck Arias
in the forehead, but glanced off, leav-
ing only a flesh wound. However,
he was knocked senseless, and the
thieves thinking they had killed him,
hastily decamped taking with them $50
in cash Arias' brother had earned, but
leaving a lot of clothing they had
gathered up ready to take away. The
officers are on the trail of the rascals.

PASTOR RESIGNED.
Rev. L. r. MilIican, of the First Baptist
Church, Resigns.

| The Baptist revival was brought to
sudden termination last night, when it
was announced that Rev. Tardy would
have to leave for the east today, to
attend to his pastoral duties at Pales-
tine, Texas. Then there was another
surprise party sprung on the audience
when the regular pastor, Mr.. Millican,
rose to tender his resignation. He had
rendered it year ago, but 1t was not
accepted and he withdrew the resigna-
tion as he was assured that members
who bad walked disorderly" would
thereafter cease to do 50. This promise,
however, had not been kept, and he
now insisted that the resignation be
accepted, and when subsequently, urged
to withdraw his resignation, he firmly
declined, and said the resignation
would take effect April l or earlier, if
another pastor could be secured.
To HERALD reporter who asked
Mr.. Millican about the facts connected
with his resignation, the latter replied
that all he had to say was that circum-
stances were so that he could not stay,
and was going into mission work. This
latter matter was not perfected as yet,
but he would look after Baptist inter-
ests in western Texas, New Mexico and
Arizona. However, the HERALD is
informed that the occasion of
the pastors determination to no longer
be the pastor of the First Baptist
church. is the fact that the young
folks, the younger member of the
church particularly, persist in dancing
and card playing and in theatre going,
contrary to the professions made and
covenants taken on uniting with the
church. In fact it is an open secret
that the great cause for the collapse
and failure Of the revival conducted in
the Baptist church two years ago by
Rev. Sid Williams, was that the young
converts went to back sliding in the
matter of card playing, dancing and
theatre going.
Mr.. Millicau has battled against this
heroically, but the Odds were against
him, nd he now withdraws from this
particular conflict, and the church that
did not sustain him. The advice that
prevailed seems to have been, 'the
young folks must have their fun. -
Well, they have had their fun, and now
they sloose their pastor, and their
church loses its spirituality in conse-
luence.
MIR. Millican came to this city three
years ago from Midland where he had
been pastor for seven years, and more
spiritual, pure minded. simple hearted,
Upright. conscientious man never came
INTO this community. 1t is gratifying
to know that he will make his head
quarters in El Paso.
