IMPERsoNATED AN OFFICER.
Tom Hogan Charged With That Of
Tense Last Night.

Tom Hogan Charged With That Of
Tense Last Night.
Tom Hogan and George Moore are in
the city Jail on the charge of disorderly
conduct, but it may prove more SER
ious for them than the charge would
! indicate.
Tom Hogan is infatuated with Lille
Atkinson, chile stand employee of
Paschal square, and because she re-
fuses to receive his attention he gave
her thrashing in a fit of rage last
night.
Under the Elmendorf administration
Hogan held a commission as a special
policeman, but since the Callaghan re-
gime he has had none. However, he
buckled on his pistol last night and
went to Lilies house at 72O Pecos
street and called her to the front door,
saying he was an officer and had a
warrant for her arrest.
He took Moore along with him and
stationed him at the rear
door to prevent her escaping that
way. When Lille appeared he began
abusing her, according to testimony,
and finally struck her several times,
evidences of which she bore in Recor-
der's court this morning.
She then called the police and had
him arrested. The case was continued
by Recorder Lewis today, as the Of
Tense Of impersonating an officer is one
for the state and the case may be
transferred.

RELIGION FOR REVENUE.
l.. p. Reese Joins The Church And is
Accused of Stealing it's
Money

L. p. Reese, recently got re-
ligion at a church revival in this city,
but it appears that his stock of religion
was for revenue only.
Immediately after confessing his
sins and declaring himself a soldier of
the Cross and a follower of the Lord,
he formed a very close friendship with
Henry Minnett, treasurer of the
church, and was a frequent caller at
Mninett's residence.
Last Tuesday he called and took din
ner there and in the afternoon did
some correspondence for several men,
bers of the family. While there he
learned that Minnett had $42 of the
church's money, a gold and a silver
watch in his trunk.
Friday night Minnett noticed that
Reese was not at church as had been
his custom since being converted, but
did not think seriously of the
matter until on his return home he
discovered that his house had been
burglari2ed and his church funds and
watches stolen.
His suspicious of Reese were inn
mediately arounsed and he reported the
matter to Detectives Shoaf and Nc
Closkey who went to work on the case
which resulted in Reese being arrest
ed last night on the charge of burglary
and theft.
Police Officer Daniels saw him with
the gold watch Tuesday night and pU.
sitively Identifies him. Both watches
were recovered from him.
He claims to be a machinest. His
case has been transferred to the state
courts.

MIR. zANpERsoN,s IDEA.
Secuted on All Hands by Our Leading
Business Men.

Business Men.
Col. I. H. Zandersons communica-
ton to the morning paper yesterday
declaring against a Capitalization of
the wool market of Texas or if neces-
sary favoring Galveston as the best
place, has caused a storm of adverse
comment from our staunch business
men and among the number is Mr.. l.
Efron, one of our leading cotton and
wool buyers, who is known as a keen
buyer, honest in his dealings and al
ways alive to the very first interests
of San Antonio in everything. In con-
versation with Light reporter yester-
day in regard to the publication he
expressed himself as being strongly in
favor of San Antonio becoming the
centre of the wool market. San An
tonic is the banking as well as the
distributing point for all the towns
that my friend Henderson has so much
sympathy for and the merchants and
bankers of this city have ample means
at reasonable rates, when their GUS
toners can offer securities that are
reasonably safe. 1t is certainly feas-
ible to have a central wool market and
IL can be done by making an agreement
with the initial roads for the mer-
chants to return to them an equal
amount of tonnage, or more, than they
bring in and billed to destination at
through rate from initial points. 1t
would help the railroads as well as our
city. And before Galveston is select
ed as the colonel seems to desire, l
beg to say that the effort Galveston
made a few years ago and the exper-
fence our wool growers then paid for
is, 1 hope, yet fresh in their memo
rieS."

At Casino hall the Alamos
checked the progress of the leaders by
defeating the Casino in the second
game of the series. The first game re-
suited in an easy victory for the
Giants. This, however, was not due
the visitors good work, but to the
miserable showing of the Alamos. In
the second game the Alamos opened
well, but We're soon overtaken, and it
looked as if the Casinos would repeat
the first dose. 1t was In the fifth in
ming that Captain Altmann's men took
hitch in their clothes and got down
to work. They kept up the work
and bowled out a victory by 1Spins
Umpire-Ferd. Schaezler.

While there is no preceptfble change
in the club standing, last nights games
in the local bowling tournament places
the clubs within closer touch of each
other and thereby adds to the interest
in the race. The results of last nights
games couldn't have been more salts
factory. When visiting team takes
a game from the home team, the series
Is interesting. 1t places the expect
ant in a state of uncertainty and one
is kept jumping sideways until the last
pin is down.
Last night the Ivys tok the first
game of the series from the Turner'S
on the latter's alley, after the home
team had a lead for three innings.
The Ivys overlook their opponents in
the fourth and passed them by one pin.
Encouraged by the good showing the
Ivys increased their lead in the fifth
while the Turner's fell off in their work,
and the game ended with the Ivys
showing their heels to their opponents.
The second game was won by the
Turner's in the third inning. The
Ivys had a good start, but misfortune
blocked their path in the third inning,
and the Turner's appreciated the gold
en- opportunity.
Following is the score by innings:

Dentistry Without Pain.

I have at last solved the problem Of
preparing teeth for filling with no
pain. This is done by the recently
discovered electric instrument which
is simple, scientific and painless, and
is applied to the tooth with no dis
comfort to patient, but allows me to
cut out the cavity, or remove the
nerve, without least pain. As you
know, I also extract teeth without
pain.
My Bossier friends and patients
will find me at the same stand.
