GOT HIS MAN.
Lost Awhile, But Found Again.

A few days ago O. E. Chipperfield,
an attorney from Illinois, came to Ell
Paso looking for one Jerry Churchill,
who was wanted at Canton, ILL.,, for
burglarizing store and pOstoffice at
that place.
As soon as Chipperfeld arrived in
town he sent for the chief of police
and had q consultation with him in re-
gard to the fugitive, whom he had
located here 10 Ell Paso. Chief Lock-
hart started out on the trail, and as
Churchill was using his right name he
was soon located.
For some time past he and his wife
bad been boarding at Mrs. Trips on
Stanton street: -they were quiet and
| we'll behaved. The man seemed to be
about 25 years of age and his wife was
about the same. Mrs. Churchill al
ways paid the bills, and she seemed to
be the one that handled all the mo-
| ney.
Churchill worked for the Sierra Ma
DIRE line across the river for some time,
but gave up his position and up to the
time he went to Shafter ,hewas in idle
ness. He had been there about q month
andlbe with him.
Churchill was arrested for the deed,
and was out on q thousand dollar bond,
which he jumped when he came to Ell
Paso. The bond was quite small, and
it is stated the reason was that
Churchill's father is worth half mill
lion dollars.
Attorney Clipper field set out for
Shafter at once. He left the train
at Maria and took stage for the bal
| ance of the journey.
He got his man all right, for when
the G. II. train pulled in yesterday,
Conductor Chas. Allen said the lawyer,
Chipperfield, got on the train at Mar
ia with Churchill and his wife, who is
sticking to him through it all.
Conductor Allen said they left the
train at Sierra Blanca SO as to make
connection with the east bound Texas
& Pacific.

A MAN SAYS THINGS.
Bejnu a Bee In An AIderman's Bon

a
net.
Last afternoon as the HERALD'S man
was on the rounds he was button hole
by one of the leading citizens OF the
fourth ward, and in q conversation as
to the drainage of the streets, brought
about by the way pools OF water
were. standing on Ell Paso street, the
citizen said: 81 wish you could only
see my street." The reporter asked
him in which street he lived, and the
answer was North Oregon: the repor-
ter then asked him why he didn't get
his two aldermen together and ask
them to have the work done.
The resident from the northern end
of town said: swell, on last election,
we thought we were getting good al
derman when we elected Mr.. Dan Ste
wart, blu t it seems that in this direc-
ton we are doomed to disappointment,
as we are in others.
CHOW, from the reports of council
proceedings in the HERALD, we, the
citizens of the 4th ward. know where
our other alderman, Mr.. Drummer,
stands, as we hear from him in the re-
ports that are published, but IS to
Stewart we don't know for sure wheth
err he attends the meetings or not. only
that at the head of the published pro-
ceedings it generally states that all al
alderman we guess that he is there
somewhere; still, we have never heard
his voice, in any way, to favor the bet
terment of the streets in our ward, and
that was one of the biggest planks in his
canvassine platform; in fact it was
mainly that promise of good streets
thatelected him.
"We don't only need the good work
of our friend Stewart in the council,
but we need the good work of the
street grading teams to do the neces-
sary work. To prove to you what am
telling you, come with me-"
riage with him and was driven to his
residence on North Oregon street.
He was shown where the water from
the previous rain had come down the
middle of the street, and there being
no gutter whatever to protect the
sidewalk, the stream had washed
across his sidewalk and washed the
dirt away from the footboard of the
fence.
ssThat shows" said the man, that
there is need of some grading for the
cutters, SO that our property may be
protected. Yet I don't see that we
are any nearer to it than we were the
day that we elected Mr.. Stewart to the
position of alderman.
81 have kept noticing the reports of
the doings of the council published in
the daily papers, and I notice that the
street and grade committee always ask
for further time. We don't need any
further time on this matter; we have
been waiting until we are tired. and
want to see them take some action in
this matter, and that at an early
date"
