In addition to this notification, q
courier fastened by wheel.over to Nc
Ginty headquarters and gave Q notifi-
cation in person. AS the Western
union had not received the word at the
time Mr.. Perkins was called up by
telephone, and on his verifying what
had been done, President Reckhart
gave the word to let her go, and she
went.
That star ted up the whistles to &c.

of the Santa Fee claims to be the frat to
respond with a whistle for hardly had
the cannon sounded before he had his
whistle wide open giving q piercing
blast. The shop and switch engine
whistles followed suit, and the boys
over at the G. II. turned themselves
loose also. So for few minutes the
town was fairly ringing with noise.
The racket started citizens up to deco
rations, and flags appeared from many
quarters. Crowds began gathering in
front of the HERALD Office and the
telephone started in merry jingle.
Altogether it was in exciting time.

of McGinty hill would announce the

CITY COUNCIL TO COMMEN ;E SUIT.

urer Fassett'S BOndsmen.

The CITY council met in special ses-
sion last night at eight o'clock, by an
order from the mayor, to decide whe-
Their or not they should commence suit
on the city treasurer's bondsmen, to
recover the city funds lost in the
defunct Ell Paso National Bank. The
mayor stated that he kad been instruct
ed by the council at previous, meeting
to employ counsel to commence suit
as the city attorney could not perform
that task, and that he had engaged the
services of the District Attorney Dean,
subject to the approval of the council
The question which will play an i'm
portant part in the CAGE when it comes
to trial ia whe'her'or not the deferd snts
can plead the statute of limitations and
thereby have the suit thro~n out of
o)urt. That question, according to At
torrey Dean, will depend entirely uron
whether or not the money will be con-
slider ed lost on the date the bank failed
or when the loss was reported. The
bank failed more than four years ago
and counting from that event the stat
ute Of limitations would already bar
recovery of the funds,
Attorney Dean read the statutes on
the subject and cited numerous decis-
After he had carefully stated every
point in iesue he declared that in bis
opinion it was decidedly doubtful if the
suit could be successfully prosecuted,
and in view of the extreme doubt about
it, required that his fee OF $3.50 be paid
in advance.
The councilmen made some hesita-
tione, but after they argued the advis-
ability of the question and found that it
was necessary to take immediate &C.
ton they then Instructed the attorney
to commence.
When the size of the attorneys fee
was considered, the council again hes
itsted, but after afew words from Mr..
Badger, in which he scored Judge Kemp
they were again placed on the right
road.
It was estimated that to Garry the
case to the supreme court it would
cost fully $500, sb ut 84OO for attorneys
fees and the balance in court costs.
On motion Of councilman Badger Sec
ended by Scott, it was decided unanim-
ously to bring the suit and the petition
will be fled before next Friday.

Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
CYRUS THORPE,
Late Naval Cadet, y. S. N,
The Honor able Secretary of the Navy.
Washington, D. c.
Thorpe's naval career began in May,
1894, when he entered at Annapolis.
He went to sea ON a practice cruise in
June when he made his fret trip to
Europe. H was on the racing crew
and foot ball team during the rest OF
the year, The two following summers
were spent in cruising. His class.
entering with about one hundred Nom
bers was graduated last week with
about forty members. While at sea
in the summer of 1896 he was taken
sick with rheumatic fsver and when
the ship was at Newport. he was sent
home on leave. Months of hospital
life followed. 1t cana apparent
that he would never recover sufficient
ly for naval service, as they then
thought, and after an extended cores
ponGeuce between the department and
his doctors, his resignation was re-
quested AMI submitted.
While in the hospital and even be.
fore as cadet, Thorpe had won some
reputation for the short stot les he had
written, so that it was an easy matter
for him to SECURE a position upon the
staff of the Minneapolis Tribune. AT
the breaking out of the Greek-Turk's h
war, he was sent as q correspondent.
During the six months of this new
work his experiences were wonderful.
A HERALD repr sentative, when
shown the inside of his room, saw
nothing less than Turks skin,
knives, guns, skulls, and all the
hideous relics of war. In order to get
the news in Crete, Mr.. Thorpe joined
the Cretans as an insurgent soldier.
He was reported killed 10 September,
and for eight days nothing could be
heard Of his whereabouts. He was q
Turkish prisoner, but was finally releas-
ed by the E,glish soldiers occupying
Crete.
In less than two weeks, MIR. Thorpe
expects to be an ensign in active ser.
vice with the flying squadron.
