ON G. H., LIMITED
The Act Was One Of the
BoIdest Ever Perpetrated
in This Section
of Country

One of the boldest pieces of work
ever perpetrated in the vicin-
ity of Ell Paso for many a day came
to light this morning when Captain
Cook, state ranger and deputy sher-
iff of Pecos county came to town and
landed the notorious Hayes Chiles and
d. T. Sherwood behind the bars OF the
county Jail.
The charge preferred against the
prisoners is theft from the person and
they are accused of robbing a dis
charged soldier from Manila on the
G. H. east bound train last night
The two con men were only recently
released from the city prison, where
they were serving out fines to amount
of $1O1 each for operating in Ell Paso
during the carnival.
Because they had become we'll known
to the police and had queered them
selves for further effective work in
this city they had evidently made up
their minds to operate among passen-
gers on incoming and outgoing trains
and to that end purchased tickets to
Sierra Blanca last night and boarded
the limited.
They evidently had their plans we'll
laid and their victim already spotted
when the train pulled out for a short
time after the limited had left the city
limits Chiles. who claims to be a pro-
fessional ball player from Phiiadel-
phia. scraped up an acquaintance with
B. F. Henry. discharged soldier re-
turning from the Philippines to his
home at Albany. Georgia. Chiles was
quite affable and was soon on good
terms with the volunteer and occupied
the same seat with him.
Presently the big fellow, Sherwood
came along the aisle of the car and
pausing beside the con man and his
victim asked for a light. AS he pre-
pared to light his pipe he held a pc

the soldier if they had ever seen a
similar match box before and offered to

HAVE NO NEWS
Of the Proposed Compact
With the Rock Island, ,and
Think the Arrange
ment Unlikely.

A party of Mexican Central officials
a tour of general inspection of the
road.
In the party were A. A. Robinson
president; H. r. Nickerson. general
manager; E. E. Styner. general super
.intendent; and G. J. Hartman, super
intendent of the Chihuahua division.
President Robinson had only been
in the republic for three weeks and
was on a hurried trip to New York.
He left on the Santa Fe soon after
. reaching this city and could not be
seen by The Herald representative.
General Manager Nickerson and Su-
perintendent Styner will remain here
until tomorrow the guests of Super
intendent Hartman at the Orndorff.
When asked what he knew of the ru-
mored consolidation of the Mexican
Central with the Rock Island Mr.. Nick
erson said:
Il know absolutely nothing except
what / have seen in the papers. 1
hardly think it can be true for the
Mexican Central is almost as large a
system as the Rock Island. President
Robinson probably knew nothing of
it or 1 suppose he would have men
toned it to me if he had. l account

Yes. we are doing a great deal of
improving and building this year,
probably more than in any previous
year. We hope to reach the Pacific
coast with our Guadalajara branch
some time this fall. The terminus will
be at ManZanillo. Many other small
branches are also being put in 10 tap
mines and forests in different parts of
the country. l do not think we have
anything more in store for Juarez but
are constantly making improvements
at Chihuahua. That being a central
point it is necessary to have large
shops and do great deal of work. The

1T WOULD BE WELL
To Get them Here. SO they
Can See Something of
the Importance of

The Texas legislature is still con.
carnival association in January 20 vis-
it Ell Paso and it is believed that that
body would come here after the ses-
sion adjourns with very little coaxing.
County Surveyor A. H. Parker has
just returned from Austin and he says
htat the question is receiving a great
deal of thought from individual mem
bers yet, although the carnival is
over. q.
Il talked with number of members
of both houses" said Mr.. Parker, ''and
I am sure they want to come. Senator
Turney and Representative Bridgers
have mentioned the matter to many
of them and a sthe great majority of
the members have never been in this
part of the state 1 believe they would
come if the chamber OF commence
would only renew the invitation and
promise them some entertainment
MIR. Parker says that every member
he talked with expressed the desire to
visit this part of the state and would
be willing to come if the other members
would come in 4 body. He says they
all wanted to come to the carnival but
as the legislature was in session they
could not do it. AS the session will be
over in a few weeks, it is now believed
that they would all come including
Savers and other state Of
ficials.
This would be an important thing"
Mr.. Parker, for very few of
the Texas legislators know anything
about this section of the state 1t
would be an interesting trip for them
and after seeing what We have here
we might be able to get some legisla-
tion that we need. Eastern Texas peo-
pie look upon this section as barren
waste ana not worth the attention of
the legislature. l know of several i'm
portant matters that we could have at
tended to if the legislators would only
come out and see what we have and
am in favor of renewing the invitation
and have them come here for week

were in the city at that time.
The facts so far adduced before the
shows that McPhersoR
and a friend, Charles Wallace, had
gone to the depot to board a train
They were too late, however, and
showed their disappointment in few
words unused in Christian circles.
The two men then started to &c
away when the marshal attempted te
arrest Mcpherson. In the scuffie the
officer knocked Mcpherson down with
the butt of his revolver. Wallace
helped him to his feet when he was
again knocked down by Stubbleheld
The crowd commenced to rush in and
Jesse Burrs pulling off his overcoat
shouted "Don't you hit him again.
At that time Wallace was helping his
companion to his feet second time
and. while Mcpherson was in a half
kneeling, STOPPING position, the officer
fired the bullet that plowed its waT
through his stomach aud caused biz
death next day.
Stubblefleld then turned anc
snapped the pistol in Burrs' face but
fortunately for the latter, the cart
ridge failed to explode. As McPheF-
son was led away by his friends he
hollered back to the officer; "SaY

The defense has number Of wit

and was endeayoring to use It.

each one might know his personal
responsibility.
There does not seem to be suih-
cient attraction in the world Of
God i.self to bring even protesting
Christians together. There is an
unhealthy craving for other things;
religious excitement Of some kind
must be resorted to.
There is growing desire for ex-
citement and Of course a decreas-
ing thirst for the calm prayerful
study of the Holy Scriptures.
Trashy literature is devoured in
private till the mind and intellec-
tual pow are dulled and untitled
for strong helpful reading. Still
there are many who love the study
of the word Of God, and who de-
light in the fellowship of the
saints. May the Lord bless them,
and strengthen them with might
in the inner man. So that strong
in the Lord they will watch and
wait for the coming Of the Lord" "
At the Methodist church Rev. G.
L Browning delivered another OF
his eloquent and impressive SER
mons. Sunday forenoon the sub
ject was "The Judgment Seat OF
Christ" "
For we must all appear before
the judgment seat Of Christ; that
every onemay receive the things
done IN the body, according to
that he hath done, whether it be
good Or bad"
The doctrine OF the Judgment is
written on the human conscience
and trumpeted by every angel IN
heaven. Infdelity itself cannot
get rid of that dread Of the conse-
ouences of a wicked life as It
stands on the brink OF the great
sternity.
life is real, life is earnest,
And the grave is not its goal.

sciences by the finger of the Al

The cross of Christ has its intepre-

day of Judgment is the day o

for it, and all other days point tC
it as their only Interpretation.
This day is needed to vindicatt
