Every body who was caught attempt
ing to smuggle goods across the
border was given a severe talking to

Collector Dillon said today that it is

press petty cases. Neither Is 1t the
policy to persecute any body or to show
favor to any body. Everybody, he said,
il to be treated alike.

TWO WOMEN
Prominent In Society And Church
Circles Caught Smuggling.

Two women prominent in FL Paso
society and in church circles were
caught yesterday afternoon attempting
to smuggle goods.acrCs. the river from
Jusrez to the value of 800 or more.
Since the government has been fit not
to prosecute them and to withhold
their names the HERALD will not pub
lish them, though it is in possession
of them from another source.
The two women are OF middle age.
They went to JuareZ shopping yester-
day and ads several large and costly
purchases. During she holiday season
| the customs officers have been unusual
| ly vigilant and an eye has naturally
been kept on the Juarez stores for such
customers.
Having received tip to watch the
two women, the officer at the bridge
asked them individually IL they had
anything dutiable. They unfiinching-
ly answered, mo"
When the customs officer asked them
to step off the car they threw up their
hands and begged for mercy. They
were taken from the car and handed
over every thing to the Inspector, In
his private office. Drawn work to the
value of at least S35 was concealed In
their wraps. Besides this there was a
pattern of black satin, OF twenty yards,
piece of mohair cloth. twenty yards,
very costly, and other goods.
The women were frightened almost
into Mysteries. Collector Dillon was
acquainted with the matter and decided
to let the women go, confiscating the
goods. They were severely reprimsnd-
ed and warned.
These women we're not the first that
have been caught of smuggling during
the holiday season. The Office of the in
spector at the bridge is piled almost
full of articles of every description
that has been seized during the past
two weeks.
According to Collector Dillon, most
of the offenders, in fact nearly all OF
them, have been women, and most OF
them have been caught by the system
Of espionage by which the two women
arrested yesterday were trapped. Sew
eral parties of women were taken from
the cars during the week before Christ
mas, and great quantities OF
lace, drawn work, and fancy work
of all kinds, besides dress goods,
wearing apparel, jewelry, hligree, sill
yer and innumerable articles of every
kind, intended for Christmas presents,
were confiscated. Several men were
stopped, but no articles of value
were found ON them. The most that

THE MILITARY BALL
On Next Monday Night To Be Grand
Social Event

On next Monday night, January l,
the Border Rifles will give their much
talked of military ball in the district
court room.
This bids fair to be the most elabor-
ate affair of Its kind yet given in this
city.
Invitations were issued to a great
many, and if any were overlooked it
was not the fault of the invitation
committee, as the company did not get
as many Invitations printed as they ex-
pected, owing to an unavoid BILE delay
in shipment. But this should not
deter any good citizen from attending,
as Invitations were merely issued in
order to keep any objection able
characters away. The program is
up-to-date, and the music will be the
best to be obtained IN this part of the
country.
