After fourteen straight victories the
Bronchos were finally downed. Well,
it was getting too monotonous, any
way, and it is a good thing that it
happened. 1t is a safe bet that no
team in the league will beat that rec
ord this season. The only regretful
thing about the whole matter it that
Big Tom Hayes was so completely
knocked out 1t only shows that the
big pitcher cannot yet be termed a
winner. While we are not in the least
disappointed at San Antonio's defeat,
for we all know that team can't win
all the time, but to think Tom Hayes
was so roughly handled-why it seems
almost impossible.
But that's baseball, and therein. lies
the success of the game. Uncertain
ties are the pleasures of life, and base
ball is full of them.
They are still "Our Bronchos," how
ever, even if they would lose the next
ten games. But they couldn't do this
with their hands tied behind them.
Those boys are winners, an6 the club
that beats them must hit the bail hafd
and Off n.
After Hayes was knocked out, George
Keefe went in, but at what stage of
the game our special correspondent"
does not state. Oh, but those are hot
baseball reports-nit. From the score
it appears that Keefe kept the hits
somewhat scattered. AS eight of the
Tigers runs wer earned 1t will be seen
that they were hitting. They are
credited with seventeen hits, including
three doubles, a triple and home run.
The Bronchos also hit a little. They
got fourteen hits, Of which Knau got
a home run, Bailey a pair of two-bag-
gers and Keefe a double. Both teams
put up a magnificent game in the field,
only one error being credited to each
side.
The Bronchos close with the Tigers
today, playing at Denison instead of
Sherman. This is done to give the
people of Denison an opportunity Of
seeing their last years favorites, ex-
cept Chief O'Connor's Indians" to-
wit, Bill Kohnle, Cahrley Weber, Win
Clark and the chief. That they will
get a warm reception in their old wig
wan goes without saying, and O'Con-
| nor is going to show his friends in
Denison how the Bronchos play ball.
| And O'COnnor has got the friends-ev-
erywhere he goes. Too bad, he amt
| a politician.

PROPOSED SEXTON CHANGE.

a good deal of comment has been
aroused by Alderman Mahncke's res
Olution in the last meeting of the city
council to secure a sexton for the
city's cemeteries who is not connected
with any undertaking establishment
Mr.. Mahncke says he thinks this plan
will be better for all concerned and in
forms the Light man that there will be
several good applicants for the posi-
ton, if the resolution passes the coun-
ell. They can give good bond and will
be able to carry the city in the mat
ter of digging graves and caring for
the cemeteries until the city is able to
reimburse them. This is the chief
objection raised to removing the office
from the present untertaker, who is
sexton.

TWO sCRAPPERS.
Mic Montez and Dan Penaloza are
Great Fighters.

Recorder Lewis this morning had
two cases to try for beating and strik-
ing against Dan Penaloza and Mic
MOntez. The first case against each
was one continued from Monday and
was for beating another Mexican
named Polenio Moreno in a saloon row
on the west side Of town last Sunday.
In this case he fined them each S.
The other two were for beating
white man yesterday afternoon in
Lamm's saloon in Beanville, South Flo
res street. But in this case they were
dismissed, testimony developing the
fact that the complainant, ]. B. McIn-
tyre, was the offender.
The row occurred over game Of
dice, which Montez and Mcintyre were
playing, Mcintyre claiming that Mon
tez had cheated him, when the latter
had won Is straight games without
losing one, which led to Montez strik-
ing him.
Mcintyre thought that after he and
Montez began to fight that Penaloza
had also struck him, but as he was al
most blinded from the blood issuing
from his nose he could not positively
state whether he had or not.
McIntyre's face was a sight to be-
hold, both eyes being blacked and his
face otherwise disfgured. He was al.
so charged on the recorders docket
with beating and striking but the re.
corder dismissed his case, saying thai
he thought he had been punished suf.
ficiently. Officer Beck made the ar,

CITY TOPICS.
DID MR.. ELMENDoRF COMMIT
AN ILLEGAL ACT?


The reproduction of the statement
made by Mr. Vinck in the morning $
Express, seems to be for the purpose
of showing up the fact that Mr.. Ell
lnendorf was careful to draw all Of
AIS own salary, and even to anticipate
me 500 contingent fund for February.
Also that most of Mr.. Elmendorf's
official family got their salaries up to
February, while the police fire depart
ment and a few officials were left to
the tender mercy of the Callaghan adj
ministration. While the disclosure
made by the auditor may look very
selfish, it does not follow that Mr.
Elmendorf committed an illegal act.
The city charter, sec. 251, provides:
THE salaries of the officers named in
the preceding section shall be payable
monthly out of the city treasury, at
the end of each month, on warrants
drawn by the mayor and attested by
the clerk, in accordance with said sec
ton" The officers embraced are the
mayor, auditor, recorder, mar
shall attorney, collector, assessor
treasurer and engineer. The
charter makes it mandatory on the
mayor TO draw these warrants, and
makes no such proviso that these war
rants shall not be drawn except there
is money to pay them. Therefore Mr..
Elmendorf did not commit an illegal
act by drawing warrants in his own
favor and in favor of his associates,
unless it be held that he
neglected to draw them monthly, and
that officials other than those special
ly named were also paid off. 1t may
look very selfish on the part of Mr..
Elmendorf to pay himself and leave
his men who fought in the trenches
unpaid, but it would be good grounds
had he failed to draw his warrants, to
have ruled that his neglect to comply
with sec. PSI had forfeited his right to
any salary. The people who are still
waiting for the payment of the back
salaries and wages, naturally feel
agrieved that Mr.. Elmendorf paid him
self, but the truth is, Mr.. Elmendorf
simply complied with the city charter

ALDERMAN HICKS RESOLUTION

The resolution presented by Alder
man Hicks, as amended, is intended
for the special relief of a comparative
ly small number of the creditors of
the city. For this reason the resolu"
ton is of very Objectionable character.
Such legislation on the part of the
council subjects that body to severe
criticism; to select a few creditors out
of class and make them preferred
creditors, is not good legislation. II
the council wish to lay down rule
for the payment of the expenses of
the city, which they are fully author
lied to do under section As of the city
charter, they should do so by ordi-
nance, applicable to all classes of cred
itors, and covering all the conditions
embraced in sections 225 and 251.
