Boy Who Skipped Out

A few days ago E. ]. Hadlock found
negro boy about IA years old wan
dering on the streets and gave him O
job around the house. He gave the
name of Thomas Shropshire and as he
seemed to be bright boy Mr.. Had
lock intended to send him to school.
However yesterday the boy took
French leave during the absence of
Mr.. and Mrs. Hadlock and upon inves-
tigatiOn 1t was discovered that several
articles were missing.
A seemingly well authenticated
rumor came from Deming that the boy
had been seen there, and Chief Lock
art this afternoon sent a telegram to
intercept the fugitive. It Is expected
he will be caught il he has gone in
that direction.

NEGLECTED THE CATTLE.

This morning Cox & Kayser, the
we'll known cattle dealers. through
their attorneys, Beall and Kemp, fled
suit in the federal court against the
Mexican Central Railway company
asking damages to the amount of &c.
S23.2S for alleged damage to ship
ment of cattle.
The cattle in question were shipped
from Sauz, a station little north of
chihuahua, to Ell Paso on May II, 1899.
The petition alleged that the cattle
were in good condition and prepared to
stand the trip if properly handled and
reasonably cared for. But that instead
Of receiving good care the cattle were
neglected and misused by the en-
ployees OF the company in charge of
the train. A wreck had occurred on
the route and the train being unable
to pass and proceed on its journey the
cattle were left standing in the cars
without receiving any attention for
many hours. AS result many of
them died on the road and the re-

Mr.. SCHWARTZ
AS A SLEUTH
The FL Paso Merchant Dis
tinguishes Himself In
JuareZ
HE RUNS DOWN A GANG
Receivers Stolen Goods Worth Hun
dreds Of Dollars and Qualities As
d Man Who Knows What He Is
After And Gets 1t.

Yesterday afternoon there was
discover ed over in Juarez the han govt
of the alleged shoplifters now in the
county Jail and in it was most interest
ing assortment of goods alleged to have
been stolen from different stores in this
city. A. Schwartz, proprietor of the
Fair, at whose instance the alleged
thieves were arrested, proved him
Sc Ii a good detective and succeeded in
ferreting out the place where the
goods were concealed. Mr.. Schwartz
has had experience with a few such
people before and has shown his
ability as thief catcher.
AS soon as the women were arrested he
endeavored to wiring from them a con-
concealed butfailed from which facthe
suspected that where they were to be
found there were also other stolen
goods. 4erterday he went to JuareZ
and commenced an investigation. He
first secured from District Judge Frias
y COmgcha a permit to search any
house in Juarez for smuggled goods.
Armed with this he called on the daugh-
ter OF Mrs. Sanches, one OF the wOm
en- in Jail. and told her that her moth
er was arrested and asked for the keys
to rooms occupied by the alleged
shoplifters on Cbamizal street near the
Mexican Central railroad, saying that If
she gave them up 1t might help to get
her mother out of jail. He had previ-
ously secured key that was found on
one Of the women when they
were searched at the jail.
With this he went to the house with
a policeman and there found 3 large
collection of miscellaneous goods. in
Guiding two fine laprobes, a lot of
crockery, several gold rings, a large
quantity of riE Don, several pocket
books aud other articles. The value of
these articles must amount to several
hundred dollars. Only small part of
the goods taken from Mr.. Schwartz's
store were found but 1t is thought that
at least portion of the remainder can
be yet recovered as it is quite certain
where they were sold.
The goods were taken possession of
by the federal authorities as having
been smuggled into the country snd
are now at the customhouse. IL is
probable that most of them may be
identified. If any one in Juarez can be
shown to have been an eccomplice of
the women now in jail he will prob
ably have to answer to the federal
authorities for smuggling and bring
ing stolen property into the country.

STRUCK THE BRIDGE.
With His Train Running At a High
Speed Engineer Lamberth, OF the
Mexican Central, Struck His
Head Full Force And Still
Lives.

Engineer Lamberth of the Mex
lean Central, who was injured Tues
day afternoon Is reported to be doing
fairly well. He was coming into Jua-
rez in charge of freight train and
knocked his head against one of the
piers of the Sierra Madre bridge lit
tie below town.
II is adown grade and the train
must have been making pretty good
time. Engineer Lam berth had been
running for several years on the road
and knew the danger, but appears to
have become careless. He stuck his
head out of the cab window for som e
reason and looked back and struck
the bridge full force with the back of
his head.
Just why it failed to kill him to-
stantly is what puzzles everyone. But
he was able to step down from the cab
and walk to a carriage unaided. He
to have completely failed. He asked
in dszed way whats the matter
with me? Did l get hurt? Has there
been an accident?'
When he was told what had hap
dened he only appeared to half under
stand and In minute or two repeated
the same question. This he continued
to do over and over.
He was taken to his home 10 Juarez
and attended by DR.. Villas, the COM
pany's surgeon, who left him resting
comfortably. While he considers 1t
almost miracle that Lamberth was
not killed outright DR.. Villas is in
clined to think he will recover, al
though it is possible that his mind may
be affected by it.
