The Katy yards here and at Ray are
| almost blocked with bad order cars,
every spur and siding not in frequent
! use being full of cars marked, mot
fit for service. When the shops re-
sumo work in full blast next month
the boys will not lack for plenty of
work.-Denison Herald.

| in the act of trying to steal a box OIL
the Santa Fe link few days ago, was,
this morning in Justice Spencer s

is hoped that this will be q warning to
other Mexicans who have been endea-
voring to build homes for themselves
placed at 800 but it was later reduced
| to $50 and costs.

Here is chance for the ladies to
distinguish themselves. Let them be
on hand at the flag raising in the G. II.
& s. A. yards Tuesday morning and
Sing America" ''The Star Spangled
Banner" and other national hymns
while the flag is being, raised. The
flag will be hoisted at 10 o'clock in the
morning and all who will may come.
A good chorus could be organized and
great deal of credit will be due those
who take an active part. Who will be
first?
There was a murrnur of dissatisfac-
ton heard among the G.. II. & s. A.
asdo
the day previous that the pay car would
arrive at this point Sunday at noon.
The Joy caused by this announcement
was scattered to the four winds yester-
day by information from San Antonio
which said that the pay car would not
reach here until next Wednesday, one
day after the joyful Fourth when money
months in the year." said one of the
employees this morning. sin July we
should be paid as near the 6rst as pos
sible. The little ones are crying for
fireworks and a portion-and q good
por tion-of the fathers have no money
to delight the hearts of the little ones.
I think an effort should be made to get
the pay car in here Monday night at
the latest"
Master Car Repairer Borcherdine
did not feel in the best of humor
porter. The new silk flag which was
ordered several days ago had not ar
rived and the telegram which he had
sent the day before asking the COM
pany when the flag had been shipped,
had not been answered. Il believe twill
be here on time. But it seems strange
that they have, as yet, failed to inform
me when it was shipped. 1 told them
to wire at my expense. II the flag fails
to arrive in time to:be hoisted on July
Fourth, the company with which we
left the order will be violating their
agreement. II it does arrive it is our
intention to begin firing the cannon
about nine o'clock on the morning of
the Fourth and the flag will be floating
to the breeze about one hour later.
All are Invited to be present, but no
great show may be expected. Outside of
the firing of the cannon and hosting
the flag there will be nothing
to interest the visitors. The flag will
be left floating all day"
Later--The flag arrived this after
noon and Is being inspected by the
large force employed by the 6. II.
The only thing that remains now to
make the force happy is the ar
rival of the pay car. but there still
seems no chance for this until the mid
die of next week. The flag is Is by "a
feet and ia pure silk. 1t will be
hoisted Tuesday morning at 10 O'Clock
and all are invited to be present.
