PRESENTS TO
SWEETHEART
Made All Kinds of trouble
When Love Grew Cold.
He HAD HER ARRESTED
But the Judge Dismissed Her. As II
Wos Clearly q Case of Lovers
OuarreI.-An Army of Tromps -
Sneak Thieves.-petty Cases

The case against Miss Guadalupe
Mendoza. charged with embezzlement,
was brought before Justice Spencer
this morning for a preliminary hear
ing but resulted in the young lady be-
ing dismissed for lack of evidence to
convict. 1t seems that Miss Mendoza
was engaged to marry Frank Goss and
last spring he presented her with
pair of diamond ear rings and dia-
mond finger ring.
Several witnesses were introduced by
the defense to prove that Goss had
given the jewelry to the young lady
as presents and had not as he claimed
loaned the INTO her.
GosS claimed that the ear rings had
been pawned to him by another wo-
man for SIS and that he loaned them
to his sweetheart but told her that
they belonged to another and that if
she ever came after them that he
would have to give them back.
He claimed that after their engage
ment was broken he had written her
a letter asking that she return all the
presents and that she refused and still
refuses to do so.
The defendant claimed that Goss
had told her in the presence of sew
eral witnesses that he was going to
make her a nice present and that short
ly afterwards he brought the diamond
ear rings and himself placed one of
them in her ear and gave her the other
which she placed in the other ear He
told her to take good care of them for
they were genuine diamonds.
After hearing all the evidence in
the case Justice Spencer dismissed the
young lady. who is a handsome bru-
nette with large dark eyes. and the
case was over. 1t was clearly case
resulting from a lovers quarrel, and
the young lady had no intention of
embezzling the jewelry.
A Procession of Tramps.-A General
Round Up.-Tales of Woe.
A procession last night. not pre-
vfously announced. would have attract
ed large crowd had it been generally
known. The police force last night
arrested twenty-seven sons of the
Never Work organization and placed
them in the police station. Eighteen
of them were arrested in one bunch
and were driven to the police station
by the police force like so many hogs.
They were found in an old adobe
house near the river and were prepar-
ing midnight lunch when they were
rounded up. The yhad quite a lot of
eatabies. including chickens. and were
having a merry time.
OF the twenty-seven two were dis
missed. They had not been with the
crowd and were labOrers in hard luck.
They had money but not enough to
take them to their homes. so they were
trying to steal ride on a freight
train when they were arrested. The
rest of the gang were put to work this
morning and tomOrro wright will be
escorted out of town and given orders
never to return.
One weary Willie has been arrested
every day this week and turned loose
every morning and told to leave town
but he seems to like Ell Paso and the
city Jail and did not want to leave this
morning. He said that he had tried to
get into the hospital as he was sick
but it had been too late at night and
he was going back this morning. The
chief told him that there was no free
hospital in Ell Paso and he had better
leave town at once. He said that he
had no money and was not able to
beat his way on a train. He was told
that walking was cheap and as he
seemed to have pretty good pair of
legs he was advised to walk out of
town at once.
Another said that he was sick and
was compelled to remain in this eli
mate. The chief told him that he
could never remain in this climate
unless he worked and as he said that
he could not work he was told to carry
water for the others while they worked.
The ages of the gang varied from
about thirteen years to fifty. There
was a little how with the gang and ho
