Dick and Mamie walked down to the

the "chores" had all been disposed Of.
The road led through pleasant woods,
for the greater part Of the way, and
there Is always something to be said

The young mans face was cast In Q
mold which gave him regular features.
and to these were added the attractive
accessories Of pair Of bright, keen eyes
and a fine beard which was carefully
kept. He had an attractive smile, which
showed faultless teeth, and the clothes
he wore had style about them very diff

average Brownsville garment. You can't

young mans face keenly, he noticed GER

he did not like the looks of. He did not
pretend to be a physiognomist, however.

THAT PETITION.
Members Of the Opposite Party Did
Not Sign It.


Raymundo Nieto, one of Sheriff
Montano's efficient (?) deputies, was
up before U. s. Commissioner Bunk
er, the other day, on the charge Of
adultery. He waived a hearing and
was bound over to the grand jury in
the sum of $500, which the same he
furnished. This is the identical fol-
low who came within an ace of shoot
ing an old man through the head, a
few months ago, and whom the sher.-
iff has persisted in retaining.

derers to escape from Jail and who
has offered to pay the fines of law

Now, as to the signers of the petl-

truth and candor that many members
of the Union party in San Miguel

the reason they wished to wash their
