SHE ONLY TALKED
But Her Language Was a Little Too
StrOnU.

Mrs. +. E. Elsbach appearei in Jus
tice McKie's court yesterday afternoon
to answer to a complaint charging he I
Mrs. Emile Gometz, the Injured par
ty.
Some TIM ago Mr.. Gometz went to
Albuquerque to open bakery, establish
business, and send for his wife to
join him. Before he departed, how.
ever, he made arrangements for his
wife to remain at lodging house
which adjoins Mrs Elsbach's place.
No sooner was Mrs Gometz settled
comfortably in her new quarters than
a dashing son of Mrs. Elsbach arrived
from New York and here the whole
trouble started. Mrs. Elsbach claimed
that Mrs. Gometz was trying to steal
her son and warned her against show.
ing him any attention.
AS it happened, on Tuesday after
noon Mrs. Comet drove out to the
smelter and the young man was there
visiting his sister. Mrs. Elsbach heard
OF them both being at that distan {
point at the same time. She became
very indignant and proceeded to un-
load her wrath upon Mrs. Gometz.
Mrs. Gometz appeared before Justice
Mckie and swore out a warrant for the
arrest of Mrs. Elsbach and the case
was called yesterday afternoon. Sew
.eral witnesses were called 20 prove
that Mrs. Elsbach had used
very bad language in her conder1na-
ton OF Mrs. Gometz. The case was
finally continued until 3 o'clock this
afternoon.

Fire..

Last afternoon the fire department,
was called to Twins drug store to ex.
tinguish fire which had been caused
there by the explosion of lamp In the
back room of the store.
1t seemed that when the young man
who works in there, after filling his
lamps for the evening, had lit them
all and was carrying some of them to
the front of The store to place them in
their brackets, he heard q loud explo-
sion and on running to the rear where
he had left the lamps, found the whole
counter and the other lamps ablaze. 1t
was one time when q young man had
common sense and knew how to use it.
He grabbed .up an old quilt and
smothered the flames which had q good
start for lively fire.
The joke Of the matter was that
Scott White, who was out around
town, was over near the postoffice and
when the alarm rung he was out in
the middle of the street watching the
department turn out and didn't get to
the store until the excitement was
over and then was the most excited
one there.

Diamond Dick.

E. ST. Leon. better known as "Dia-
mOnd Dick arrived in town this
morning with two prisoners from Vim.
ton, Texas. a village about 20 miles
north of Ell Paso. The prisoners are
accused of cattle stealing. and will
have their hearing in this city For
some time past the people in and sur
rounding Canutillo and Vinton have
been complaining OF the depredations
of gang of about ii men who are
known to be of bad disposition
An order was sent to- aptain Hughe S
of the rangers to send a detachment of
guards TO this point to protect the
lives and property of the residents. In
compliance with this request +. St.
Leon and Tom Crawford, two rangers
from Valentine, Texas, were sent to
the scene of the trouble and arrived
there last Monday. These men first
took in the surroundings and then pro-
ceeded to make known the object of
their visit. They captured these two
individuals and think they have suffi-
Gent evidence to convict them.
"Ihey are crying up there about
the way they are being robbed said a
nj an this morning, land at the same
time they are afraid to make COM
plant against anyone. Their fences
are torn down and their farms other
wise damaged, but still they expect
the officers to prosecute the offenders
without a warrant being sworn out
against them. 1t is impossible to do
this unless the officers catch them in
the act OF doing their dirty work.

HayriderS,

Last night NUM- Der OF the young
people of the city went on "hay ride. y
The young men who had charge of the
hiring of the wagon from the Star
stables had engaged it until two q. m
The jolly party left the city about
eight O'Clock for a trip down the coun-
ty road. After going down that way
for some miles they turned their team
back towards town, arriving here
somewherd near the hour of midnight.
The older and wiser beads who were
with the party tried to control the
young folks. who were making the
night hldeous for the residents of Ell
Paso along the streets where they
started to deliver the girls at their
girls and boys were having such
good time singing and screaming,
and as they also knew that the wagon
had been hired until two O'Clock, they
refused to quit but said that they in
tended to get the full benefit Of the
wagon. as they had hired it for such a
length OF time and they were going to
use it until that time. The chaperones
could do nothing with the boys and
girls but stay with them.
When the wagon of young people
had been around the city and was com
ing down North Oregon street. about
the time when it was hard to tell
whether it was Thursday or Friday,
the police officer on that beat arrested
them for disturbing the peace
and ordered the driver of the wagon
to drive to police headquarters.
On arriving there one of the young
men who had been with the party fell
out OF the wagon rather hurriedly and
left for parts unknown. The officer
said he didn't like to shoot the young
man for so small an offence. but he
said, You ought to have seen that
fellow run; wild turkey or prairie
chicken wasn't circumstance"
The officer thought it would be best
to let the whole crowd 90 home with
out imposing any fine on them, as he
considered he had taught them q good
lesson as to making the night hideous,
when the ordinary citizen wished to
sleep.

The Marvellous Ranue Finder

The use OF the range finder on Amer
lean battleships is great improvement
on the old method of trying for the
mark, as it was called, by throwing
search shots, lowering or elevating the
gun according as the shot was found tc
fall beyond or short of the object
aimed at. The new mechanism for
finding the range, an invention by an
American officer. is thus spoken of re.
Gently at Washington by q naval au-
| thority, says an exchange.
The gun is fired by electricity from
the range finder station. and the gun
| layer does not sight the gun at ALI
The gun is Laid" with the training
and elevation, that is the range order
ed on the electrical dial, worked from
the position finder cell, which may be
quite q distance away To make il
more clear it may be said that the man
at the gun does not sight at the object
he desires to hit, but simply points the
piece in the direction and at the ele-
walton indicated by the man in charge
OF the range finder. This sounds
paradoxical but it is true. The
range finder divides the ocean into a
number of imaginary squares, each
square having its distance and the
gunner is not told to sight at his
target, but to adjust his gun so it's bull
let will fall in a certain square. In
deed at the time the gun is laid
ii may not be in range for the
object desired to be hit. The
ship is moving and the RANCE
finder operator may be waiting for the
target to appear in the square at which
the gun had been pointed. When it SO
appears the operator touches a button
and the piece is discharged Practi-
cslly. therefore, the piece is sighted
and fired by machinery though the OBJ
orator must be skilled and thorough.
~ 1mbued with good judgment to
has planned. In short, by means of
the Instruments with which the Amer
lean warships are fitted the big guns
can be made to shoot as straight as a
long range rifle and they scarcely ever
miss the first shot. 1t is a triumph of
American invention.

Stamps On Notarial Acknowledge.
mentS,

The following from Deputy Internal
Revenue Collector Geo. f. Bovee dis
poses of one disputed point in the stamp
tax matter:
TOYAH, Reeves Co., July 21, 1898.
EDITOR HERALD:-The following
ruling published in the Dallas News OF
the 10th is of interest to the clerk of
court, notaries and lawyers OF Ell Paso
"WASHINGTON, D. c., July 10, 1885,
Collector P. B. Hunt, Dallas. Texas
.'Notarial acknowledgment to prop
erly stamped instrument not subject to
taxation.
IN. B. SCOTT, Commissioner"
Ell Paso lawyers have been of Opin ion,
and it has thus far been the custom, to
stamp notsrial certificates to deeds and
other instruments with 10c. stamp,
although it was admitted that the GER
t1ficate was necessary part of the in
strument, which was not completed
without it. 1 find that the same view
OF the matter prevailed in this county,
and was informed yesterday by j. B.
Gibson, Reeves county clerk, that I'M
less such documents bore the certificate
tax of 10 cents he refused to record
them. Respectfullv.

with Clerk Pitman today as nothing

Only one license for q couple to 90

today, and that was for Mariana Sal
meron to marry Hilaria Corrales.
Clerk Pitman said to the HERALD's
reporter that he wished those going to
the convention at Galveston would let
him know before the last minute ar
rives so that when the time does come
they won't all rush in for their creden-
tials at once.
