A REMEDY For CATTLE CHoKED.-
Take a ine-cut chewing tobacco,
enough to make a ball the size of a
hens egg. Dampen it with molasses
so it adheres closely; elevate the ami,
malls head, pull out the tongue, and
crowd the ball as far down the throat
as possible, In Is minutes it will
cause sickness and vomiting, relaxing
the muscles. Potatoes, or whatever
may be choking, it will be thrown up.
1t is an almost absolute certainty that
the tobacco will cause the relaxing OF
the muscles and consequent throwing
up of the contents of the stomach,
and a cure is just as certain as re.
Taxation. The laying of moistened
tobacco upon PERSONS stomach with
lockjaw, relaxed them and saved the
patient. 1t must not be kept on so
long, however, as to cause deathly
sickness.-G. J. Hinnbuecher.

While no detailed particulars of the
bubonic plague situation in San Fran

evident that there is something new

those of Texas; the Creole state will

cisco going through to Louisiana that
have no. been inspected and furnished
with a certificate by the authorities in
San Francisco.
DR.. Jumel says he is not informed on
the exact situation in Frisco but since
his state has quarantined he is of the
opinion that the situation is not en-
couraging by any means. He has
headquarters at the Orndorff hotel but
will be at the station to meet all trains
from the west.
1t is known that there have been
three cases of the plague in San Fran

EL pASO COUNTY SURVEY
Is Now About Completed Wonder
full QeSour es Of Vest Texas


The survey of the vast tract of pub
lie school lands of Ell Paso county. con-
tanning 100000 acres. will be COM
plete this week.
County Surveyor Parker said this
morning that his two field parties
would complete their task and return
to the city in few days. They have
been out for about six months and
during that period have traversed
some of the most rugged mountainous
country in Texas or the southwest.
The health of the men has been ex-
cellent all during the summer. even
when the sun shone with an intensity
that was almost unbearable and drink
ing water was scarce and luke warm
The members of the party. according
to Mr.. Parker, have undergone severe
hardships while in the field. They
were scorched by the heat of the sum-
mer and learned to lie down with the
rattle-snake and the tarantula and
sleep like babes in a cradle. The out
of door life .in the mountains had a
wonderful effect on some of the mem
bers of the party. 1t made robust men
out of persons, who were almost inva-
lids when they left the city six months
ago.
County Surveyor Parker received
word today that one of the mules used
by his teamsters in the field had just
died. The mule was valued at $3.50
Il will have my report showing the
result of the survey ready by January
L." said the county surveyor this morn
ing, land it will be submitted to the
legislature when it meets January s.
Some of the finest lands in the west
are comprised in the school lands of
FL Paso county. The mineral indica-
tions are unsurpassed and some large
tracts are excellent for grazing pur-
poses. The land could be sold readily
for ranch purposes and the county
built up If the legislature would change
the law. Under the present system no
man can buy more than four sections
or 1850 acres of school lands and he
has to settle on one of the sections.
Men who want large tracts for ranch
purposes now lease from the state and
the county derives no benefit from the
land in the shape of taxes

1T WAS A WORK TRAIN
THA RAN INTO THE DOUBLE
HEADER ON MEXICAN CENTRAL
Both Conductors Escaped TC EI
paso To Avoid Long lmprison-

ment
1t appears that the Mexican Central
railroad company, through the cold
ness and incommunicative principle
of it's officials. got the worst of it in
the reports of the big wreck near il
mulco last Thursday night.
1t was reported here and confirmed
the line. that a passenger train ran
into a double header freight and many
people were killed. The officials we're
requested to give out the facts but
they refused. Their refusal was taken
here as a confirmation of the report
and it went to the press of the entire
country in that shape.
Yesterday. however. the true report
came to light 1t appears that work
train \collided with a double header
ly demolished. The Americans killed
were Engineer Ross. Fireman Reeves
Il nd Haverson. Nj. f. Mcclure and w.
IL! Robinson, conductors on the two
rains. escaped by jumping and were
not hurt. Twelve or fifteen laborers
On the work train and a Mexican and
negro fireman were killed and many
others injured.
Badly written orders was the cause
of the wreck. One conductor had or
ders to meet the other train at La
menchio but not to pass Lanorio, this
side without orders. The order was
badly written and he mistook it to
say not pass Lamencnio without or
ders. When he reached Lanorio he
went by at full speed and went into
the other train between two hills.
Both trains were making fast time and
when they struck the havoc was awful.
Conductors Mcclure and Robinson
arrived in Ell Paso yesterday and the
story of how they got out of Mexico
is an interesting one. In cases of this
kind the conductors and engineers are
always arrested and tried for some
ling akin to murder. They did not
want to undergo this kind of proceed
ings and concluded to vamooSe.
Donning a red blanket each they
proceeded to dri-. up the road. They
caught freight after shutting them
selves as Mexicans and got in here ear
ly yesterday. When they got over the
river they disrobed and left their Mex
lean blankets anu ranchero hats be-
kinds.
They were not afraid to face the
company with their explanations of
the affair but did not want to lie in a
Mexican Jail for two or three years
waiting for a trial. 1t is this feature
of the Mexican laws that makes rail-
| road men flee from the country when
an accident happens.
