efforts 10 locate him have thus far
proved futile. Eegers held a good
position at chihuahua with the Kansas
, City Smelling company. This he re-
signed fore tskiog his departure for
this city, and it Won d appear from tn at
that he contemplat, d quitting TIRE

lacy incliues toward the theory
that E. GERS mind became Unbalanced
and that she probably committed
suicide. This m,y or may not be
true There are mysteries in all lives

ut Is very strange how some

have heard some of these boosters
talk and you would think to hear them
that the welfare of Ell Paso entirely
depended uDoa them. Their senti-
ment is fine but some of their
practices are contrary to good
Judgment. For instance, business
man the other day speut a great deal of
his apparel thy Important moments in
explaining to me the absolute necessity
OF patron lzlng home merchants as for
ss possible and also the necessity of
using good Judgment when it is found
absolutely necessary to buy outside of
our immediate business boundaries.

Joe Gran. and Attorney Eylar were
at the L. & Z. depot this morning
when The train arrived, looking anx-
