AROUSED HIS SUSPICION.
Superintendent Martin and Master
Mechanic Garrick of the G. II. left for
the east last night on No. 9. Mr..
Martin is going out to look over the
, road. but Mr.. Garrick is going to look
after something that may be of great
Importance to him. He has some prop
/ erty, presumably a farm. near Beau
mont. He received a few days ago an
offer of $4,000 for it. He did not reply
and here came another offer from the
same man; this time it was $4,000.
Picking up the Houston Post Mr.. Gar
rick saw the glaring headlines. 'Oil
at Beaumont" and reading the article
he found that giant fountain of oil
was shooting away up into the air o;Iu
| of hole in the ground on the proper
ty adjoining his. The man who made
such a raise in his offer in such short
time is evidently not very shrewd. He
might have known that he would
arouse Mr.. Garrick's suspicion that
something unusual had happened to
enhance the value of his property at
such jumps as that. 1t is the hope OF
Mr.. Garricks many friends in Ell Paso
that oil galore will be found to exist
soon be spouting out like it is from his
oil hhnr'c hole in the ground
FRIENDS IN NEED.
TheatfAinmen of the G. H. and the
generosity and proving themselves to
s.. P. are continually showing their
be friends in need and friends to the
callers of the companies. A sample of
the big-heartedness of the boys was
mentioned recently when they gave
Caller Hill a valuable present. They
have ON more than one occasion show
ed their kindly. feeling toward Gus
Schwartz. the night call boy. They
gave him a new wheel and when and
when the tires were worn out they gave
him a pew,set. That wheel was stolen
about christmas time and now they
have bought him a new one-a fine one
too. 1t is Monarch, 1901 model and
one of the best wheels made. Gus has
bought him a heavy steel chain and
, Yale paddock with which he will make
his new wheel secure against wheel
thieves He says it seems like the
thieves think Come easy. go easy"
pretty good motto. but he doesn't care
to have the boys digging down in their
pockets for him for the benefit of
thieves. He says if they steal this one
that will be four he has had stolen.
but he hardly thinks they will get this
one.
ROBBERTHE PASSENGERS.
Between Harwood station and San
Antonio some passengers on the G. II.
passenger train which arrived here this
morning were robbed. 1t was night
time and the passengers in the day
Icoach were snoozing in their seats. A
man passed through and silently took
their money and loose articles of cloth
ing When near the rear end of the
car he found a man who slept like a
rabbit and the man jumped up at the
robber when he reached for his money:
The robber darted out the door and
into the Pullman. He bolted the Pull
man door and then bOlted through the
car and jumped off the rear end. just
as the train was slowing up into San
Antonfos He secured about $3.50 in
articles Of clothing. Some of his vic
tins passed through this place on The
train this morning.
MORE INCONSISTENCY.
Eight freight cars marked "Asiatic
Freight" are standing in the G. H.
yards. 1t is said that they are held
by the quarantine authorities because
theG have come from San Francisco.
Its8 AArd to see the Inconsistency and
the justice in such proceeding as
that If the cars do really carry con-
tagion and are dangerous to the COM
monxealth Of Texas why are they al
lowed 10 come this far into the state
and then be stopped? If they are go
ing to give anybody the bubonic plague
they have been given a better oppor-
tunity to do so than If they had been
hurried through. Almost daily there
happens some incident to show up the
Inconsistency of that disgusting farce,
the quarantine.
