Real Estate Transfer Last NIGHT.

Last night there was breezy time in
Ell Paso. The plaza concert was in pro-
gress when one of these regular old
time wind and dust storms blew up and
the crowd in the plaza had to go home
as it was impossible to stand the on
slaught of the real estate which was in
the air.
The first part of the concert was very
much enjoyed and it WAS with regret
that many left, but the idea of staying
was out Of the question. The fireworks
were very good too. The band played
the national airs as the two flags were
set 81, and tbs cheering was asafening.

Troops Leave and Arrive

Last night on the delayed G. II. COM
pany G of the Third Texas volunteers
arrived.
the company Is from Greenville,
Texas, and was known in the state
militia before they volunteered for SER
vice in the war as the Greenville Ri
hes. The company is one of the m st
efficient that were ever in the state
militia and it is safe to say that they
still hold that reputation now In the
service of Uncle Sam.
Captain Joseph Nichols, their COM
manding officer, is we'll known through
the eastern part of the state, being a
prominent citizen of Greenville, and is
universally liked by all that community
as we'll as by every man in G compa-
ny
Nichols is ninety-seven strong. 1t

previous to receiving orders to come to
Ell Psso.

months. The officers of the troop have
made many warm friends in this city

regret that they have to go.
The cavalry left today over the q.

Chinese Captured.

II. F. Bloom, captain of inspectors,
today captuted two Cinnamon who are
believed to be in the country unlaw-
fully. Won Bin is aged 26, and zee
Gan Is 46. The younger man had up
on him enve opes containing lot OF
pictures OF himself. which it is pre-
sumed he had intended to use on false
certificates of identity. One of the en-
velopes is addressed to Sing Lee in
Juarez, and one to a firm in Los Angel
es. 1t may be that Captain Bloom has
made an important catch.
The captain discovered the two COM
ing across the s. p. bridge above the
smelter, and while one OF the men was
dressed as Chipaman the other was
dressed SO like an American that he
came very near getting away from the
captain. In telling how the fellow was
dressed the captain said: ''He had on
a cutaway frock suit and was stuffed
out utnil he looked like big, fat man,
and L had to take a good look at the
fellow after / had him to determine
whether he was a Chinaman or not"

CUT THE WIRE.
An Interesting Trial Promised.

Last evening for the second time the
agent for the Sheldon Block, III. b.
stevens, cut the cable wire which had
been run along the west side oil the
Sheldon from post at the corner OF
St. Louis and N. Oregon to post on
alley. This cable was used as q sustain
ing guy wire for the post on the corner
of st. Louis and n. Oregon Streets.
A reporter Of the HERALD went to
see MIR. Stevens and ask ed him why he
had cut the wire, and the answer was
that the wire was dangerous to the safe
ty of the occupants of the building In
case of fire, rs it would be impossible
for the fire company to get ladder to
the top of the building If that wire was
let remain where it was.
The reporter then asked Mr.. Stevens
il he was not afraid of legal trouble
The answer was that it had been done
by the advice of one of the best lawyers
of Ell Paso and he didn't think tina,
anything could be done by the com
pany.
Manager Hood of the telephone com
pany was seen by the HERALD report
err and asked what steps be would take
in the matter. The manager said: Il
can't say exactly as l haven't heard
rom the general office. l guess tina,
there will be a suit brought, though
OF course there is damage suit, and
somebody may have to go to the peni-
Tertiary for it; l don't know. I've
consulted one of the best firms OF attor'
neys in the city and find that we have
a dead sure case against the man who
cut that wire. The people who die
the cutting should have come to me
aud stated their trouble and ther
il they had strong enough case l
would have had to remove il, but now
hat they have cut it twice, l think
that we have q strong case against
them. There is a penalty Of five years
| in the penitentiary against wire cut
ter, either of wire fences or o
| telephone wires. i won't take any
steps in the matter, though, until
| hear from the company"
This promises to be one of the mos
interesting suits brought in this city
for long time.

Diamond Dicks Fune raj Expenses

Captain Hughes of the Texas ran
gers came in from the east on the de-
layed G. n. train last night, and early
this morning set out to stop the state
ment going the rounds to the effect
that Earnest st. Leon, better known as
Diamond Dick" was given pauper
burial. Captain Hughes says this is
entire ely false, as he himself notified
the wife of the dead ranger to pay the
funeral expenses and that he would re-
turn the mooey to her as soon as the
state decided to stand the expense.
Tue books at the undertaker's show
that Mrs. St. Leon has paid $50. on
the burial expenses already and that
only $40 remains to be paid. An Aus
tin, Texas, special, dated September ID,
says:
"Adiutant General Wozencraft said
to The Post correspondent today:
have noticed a statement going the
rounds of the state press to the effect
that the ranger, Earnest st. Leon,
commonly known as Diamond Dick, u
who was killed while on duty in E
Paso county, was buried by charity. II
such was the fact it was done without the
knowledge of the state authorities. Nc
otfici al'report was received at this Office
of the death OF this brave officer until
some time after he was buried. "A
statement of the funeral expenses was
requested and all reasonable expenses
viii be- paid. IL the state authorities
hads been informed that the family OF
the deceased desired it, arrangements
for the funeral expenses would have
been made by telegraph. The state
takes care of its sick and wounded
rangers and provides them with med
icine and medical attention"
Captain Hughes was not in the city
on the night st. Leon died and was
not notified OF his death until late the
next day by telegraph. Someone who
supposed that the remains of the
ranger were being neglected started 8
subscription list to make up the neces
ssry funds to bury him. While thii
kind individual was doing this, how
ever, Mrs. st. Leon was making ar
raugemeuts TO have the remains o.
her husband properly buried.

Yesterday the fire insurance adjus-
tiers met TO consider the damage done
to the opera house on Thursday night
when the scenery was burned. After
taking careful note OF all the damage
done they assessed the amount at

"Of course" said man today, while
we are sorry that there was q fire and
the property was damaged 1 for one
am glad that the fire burned up that
old scenery, for now we will have some
new stuff" Another man said be was
sorry that the old curtain didn't burn
up too, or at least that the firemen
didn't turn the water on it and ruin il
also. as the house needed a new curtain
about as bad as it did new scenery.

DISAPPEARED
With Big Roll of His Employers
Money!


A. w. Morris, who has for some
months past been acting as manager OF
the r. A. Allen dry goods store on san
Antonio street, has departed with big
roll of money belonging to Mr.. lien.
The reporter called at Mr.. Aliens
place OF business this afternoon to as
certain the facts in the case. Mr.. AL
len admitted that Mr.. Morris opened
the store at the usual hour yesterday
and then went home on a p-etense OF
being i'll. He was seen to go to his
room and has not been seen since.
Mr.. Allen has been in the east for
the past month on business and Morris
has had full control of the business.
After Mr.. Aliens departure the regu-
I lar bank deposits of the store became
/ lighter and lighter as the days passed,
unit the bank noticed it.
Mr.. Morris was stopping at Mrs
Murrsy's place, and she says that Nor
ris yesterday paid her $26 in silver on
account.
! Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Allen .sus
picioDs became aroused and he started
out to find Morris. HE wasnOw here
to be found and MIR. Allen requested
all the railroads tol keep lookout fol
him. 1t is known that Mr.. Morris
succeeded in getting away with ST., 3A
of Mr.. Aliens money.
The telegraph wires have been KEPT
busy today in an effort to intercept the
! fugitive, and in all probability he viii
[ be captured before long. 1t is limited
| by some that Morris is still in the city
and a quiet search is being made To-
| him. 1t is stated that he has been fly
ing high Of late, with plenty of none,
to spend and plenty of friends to hell

Morris has always been considered
an honest man. He was for five year
EN- ployed by firm in Yuma. Arizona
