LIGHT GUARDS ACTION.


The action of the Houston Light Guard
LII refusing to volunteer was the subject of
severe criticism among military men now
In Austin. Their refusal to volunteer
came as 4 surprise to Adjutant General
Mahry for the reason that the company had
sent him previous assurances by wire and
letter thai they would respond to the call
Internationally. General Mabry received
the following telegram last night
Houston, Texas May Nv. H.
Mabry, Adjutant General, Austin,

TYPHOID in THE PEARS
FIVE CASES IN THE FAMILY OF A
GRANT COUNTY FARMER.
state Health Board Analysed the
Cases and Makes a Somewhat
Unusual Discovery

DR.. o. Veeman, Of Grant county, reported
to the State Board of Health five cases OF
typhoid fever in the family of a farmer in
that county. A close search was made to
determine the cause. So far as ordinary
inspection was concerned the origin could
not be found in any unsanitary conditions
of the premises. The house was high, cellar
cry and sweet and cleanliness everywhere
excellent. The water, though from a driven
well which was sanitarily located, was
analysed by the State Board of Health and
pronounced pure and above suspicion. The
disease could not have been borne in the
milk, for the sanitary conditions forbade
such conclusion.
1t was finally disclosed that the pears had
been picked while not yet ripe from a tree
near the roadside for fear they would be
stolen. The sack containing the fruit was
placed in an clubhouse, and in ten days the
pears were found to be quite mellow, some
rotten ones being in the mass. They were
poured out on the floor, which was unswept
and unscrubbed. This was on Saturday,
July 80. On Sunday four of the farmers
daughters ate of the pears, and other men,
bers of the family also partook. The first
case Of typhoid appeared Aug. 9, the second
on the 18th and three other cases on or
about the 18th. The period of incubation of
typhoid is from seven to twenty days, and
as all partook of the pears on July 30 and
as suspicion could not rest elsewhere, it
seems fair to suppose, the board thinks.
that the fruit may have, by road dust or in
some other way, become infected with the
seeds Of the disease.

Miller was sued in the same court by Rich

Newhouse going after the goods to insure
the payment. Miller is a peddler of cheap
jewelry and works in the small towns over

he happens TO find himself. AS he claimed
that he was not going TO leave town and
il could not be proved that he was, the
goods could not legally be taken But the
constable suspected that an attempt would
be made TO leave and kept a close watch
on the crowd. Saturday night he was re-
warded He saw the people start for the

The state labor commissioners report the

Conkey Company at Hammond still I'M

however, that the strike will end in a vic
tory for the strikers, as the entire typo
graphical force of Chicago is linked with
the strikers in the trouble, and is using
great force to keep business away from the
Gently returned from visit to the scene of

boycott maintained by the typographical

of the strikers. The Conkey Company de-

more contracts to the Conkey Company. no
matter how advantageous the offer might

the publications of the company circulate,
II is the opinion of the labor commissioners
that the men are bound to win.

SOLDIERS HOME DEFAULTER.
Charge Against w. u. Wilson, Under
Arrest Here.

William G.. Wilson. said to be a default
ing secretary of the Soldiers Home at
Marion, Ind, was arrested yesterday by De-
tectives Weible and Thornton upon war
rant sworn out before Justice of the Peace
Lockman, acting as United States commits
sioner in the absence of Commissioner
Moores. Wilson is fifty-three years old, and
besides acting as secretary at the home was
an inmate. 1t is charged that he left sud
denly with all or part of $500 which was
left in his charge for certain purposes. His
accounts were in such a shape that the ex-
act amount which he is said to have en-
hezzled cannot be definitely learned at pres
emit. He went from Marion to Southern
State. and several days ago it was learned
that he was coming here. A description was
given, which resulted in the arrest yester-
day. He was taken to the jail by the United
States marshal and will be given prelim-
mary hearing before acting commissioner
Lockman at o'clock tomorrow.
This is the first time on record in this
city where justice of the peace has acted
in this capacity. The law provides that in
the absence of the commissioner a Justice
may be qualified to act in his stead.

A man giving the name of Con Collins

girl, who lives in that neighborhood The
cries came from box car, and it is said
Collins soon emerged with the child and
mounted a lumber pile. The men followed
and seized the brute. Collins refuses to say
anything about the matter, but the child's
mother says the little one followed the man

Giles AT A DOWNTOWN STORE.
They Had Come Down from Bright
wood to Have Their Marriage
Licenses Framed.

Gertrude Smith and Maud Davis, both
young married women of Brightwood the
former a bride of but a few weeks, came
to the city yesterday for the purpose of
having their marriage licenses framed.
Mrs. Davis forgot to bring hers. So to pass
the time until the hour for returning, they
determined to do some shopping, selecting
the larger stores. In the New York store
they were very much pleased with some
expensive underwear which was shown
them, but did not have the money to buy.
Their actions were regarded as suspicious
and the f1oor-walker watched them, and
says that he detected them slipping goods
into basket which one of them carried.
They were detained and Detectives Weible
and Thornton were called. In the basket
was found a quantity of baby clothes. sew
eral skirts and some under clothing, all of
which was identified as property of the New
York store. The women were arrested and
locked up, charged with shoplifting.
