GEORGE DRESSES AS A
BABY AND RIDES FREE.
The Freak Has the Best Money Making
Show on the Road.

Probably everybody saw George but
very few saw him leave Ell Paso or
know much about his travels.
George, the negro freak who was in
the midway during the carnival, is AZ
years old but never has to pay railroad
fare. The way he manages it is as in
teresting as it is simple. He dresses
up as 4 child and his managers wrap
him in shawl and cover his face with
veil In this garb George looks like
a mere baby. being only % inches tall,
and no conductor who is not next"
would think him anything but a baby.
George left El Paso Thursday night in
this garb and the conductor failed tc
detect him. He is probably the only
grown man in the country that travels
free.
This show is said to be the greatest
financial success on the road. There
are but two people except George with
the show and they have only one trunk
and two telescopes. Their travelling
expenses are nothing outside of two
full tickets without any excess bag
gage whatever.

BEGIN AT Ell PASO
and Extend In a Chain Down
through the Main Cities
of the Mexican
Republic.

H. NJ. Flagler, of New York. owner
of the largest hotel system in the
world, has again turned his attention
toward Ell Paso and Mexico with the
view of establishing a hotel system in
this section.
About year ago Mr.. Flagler inves-
tigated the conditions in Mexico and
came near buying the Hotel Sheldon
here. For some reason he dropped the
scheme and no further attention was
paid to it until the past few weeks.
Gen. Flagler is now in correspond
ence with certain Ell Paso people with
the view of taking up the question
again and establishing system of fine
pleasure and tourist hotels in Mexico.
beginning at Ell Paso. He proposes, if
he takes to the proposition, to put a
fine hotel in Ell PasO, Chihuahua. Ia
catecas, Aguascalientes, Guadala,ara,
San Luis Potosi, Mexico City. and
many other important cities besides
having several in the rural districts
at various resorts.
The Mexican Central railroad has for
long time offered inducements to any
one who would undertake such prop
osition and has made Mr.. Flagler sew
eral offers. They have assured him of
their hearty cooperation and promised
grounds in every city where he would
likely want to establish hotel.
Travel to Mexico has been steadily
on the increase for the past few years
and would increase more rapidly could
travellers get good hotel accomnoda-
tions in the republic. Mr.. Flagler has
noticed this drift of travel from Flori-
da to the south and is now preparing
to meet it. Just when the system will
be established in Mexico is not known
but it is said that he will build a large
and fine hotel in Ell Paso some time
soon and the Mexican system will fol-
low later.
Flagler has been the most success
full hotel man in America. He has
million dollars in the swamps of Flor
ida where tourists had never gone be-
fore, but has made a success of every
one of them. Travelling people are
now getting tired of Florida and drift
ing into the west and southwest where
there is more interest besides better
climate, and no man has seen this more
plainly than Flagler. For two years
he has been watching the situation and
word comes from New York that he is
preparing to execute his first plans
and spend about SIC, ZOO, 900 between Ell
Paso and Mexico City.
No section of the globe just now is
attracting the attention of legitimate
capital like Mexico and not only ho-
tells but many other American institu-
ions are being established t:iere-
Flagler sees this and will begin his
new enterprise soon, making Ell Paso
he principal point of interest and
headquarters for his southwestern bus
ness.

Oaths of Allegiance.
THOMAS ROE DIED
FROM HEMORRHAGE.
He Was An Elderly Man, Well Known
About Town.

Death came suddenly and without
warning to Thomas Roe last night.
He was stricken with hemorrhage of
the lungs at about nine o'clock and
died before medical aid could reach
him.
The summons came to him while he
was at his lodging place on Leon
street. He was about 60 years of age
and had been in the city long enough
to be comparatively well known, es-
pecially to those who frcquented the
courts, for he had often served on ju-
ries in the various tribunals of Justice.
He was a tall spare built old man
whose age was beginning to tell on him
and he was unable to follow any vo-
cation in life that required hard work.
He had been suffering, it is said,
from an attack of grip and the hemor-
rhage is thought to have resulted from
that disease.
Justice Spencer held the inquest and
rendered his verdict in accordance
with the foregoing facts. The body
was sent to Nagley & Lyons establish
ment to be prepared for burial.

1T is UNUSUAL
And Lawyers in This Part of
the State Are Curious to
See How It Will
Come Out.

Disbarment proceedings of a sensa-
tional nature against one of the most
prominent attorneys of Reeves county,
were begun before Judge Walthall this
morning.
Behind the case is politics and con-
test in the courts by defeated candi-
dates.
The petition filed to day asks that
H P Brelsford, of the firm of Scott
& Brelsford. lawyers of Eastland, be
cited to answer and show why he
should not be disbarred from further
practice of law in the courts of the
state.
Judge Walthan after hearing the
petition, which was presented by the
county attorney of Reeves, ordered
the citation issued and fixed March
as the date of the hearing, which will
be held in Reeves county.
The petition was presented in the
judges private Office and not even the
clerk of the court knew anything about
the procedure until several hours later.
The allegations made in the petition
the court of Reeves contests for four
county Offices and that none of the de-
feated candidates had employed him
as attorney nor had given him author
X ity to bring suit for them.
The petition was accompanied by at
tached affidavits from the four defeated
candidates for the Offices of sheriff, dis
tot cln do
and animal inspector.
The filing of the motion to disbar the
Reeves county attorney has created a
mild sensation here among lawyers
and court officials. most of whom are
acquainted with H. P. Brelsford and
are not of opinion that he carried the
election contests into court merely for
amusement Most persons are inclined
to the belief that unless Brelsford had
authority to file the contests he would
not have undertaken to conduct the
suits. 1t is not believed that he took
action for political motives, as it is
said he is a democrat and all the Off
GERS against whom the contests were
filed are also democrats.
The true significance of the case of
course will not be known until the
hearing takes place and Brelsford is
given opportunity of presenting his
side of the case to the court.
In this county disbarment proceed
ings are of such an unusual nature that
the case has attracted considerable at
tention and the result will be regarded
with interest.

A young man of good appearance led
an adventurous career in Ell Paso dur
ing the carnival week.
He was a nicely dressed fellow trav-
cling with a young woman he said
was his wife. He seemed to have mon
ey, but was continually asking some
one to endorse q drafe for him. So far
as is known every one refused, but
some gamblers in a saloon cashed
check for a considerable amount for
him. He got ready to skip the town
and left the hotel without paying his
board. One of the hotel men followed
him and caught him at the Santa Fe
depot, but the policeman would not
arrest him, saying that he had no au-
thority to do it.
The gamblers who cashed his check,
in the meantime had caught him and
made him disgorge the money. He at
tempted many schemes but so far as
is known no one lost anything except
the hotel man, who lost the amount of
his board.
He had trouble with a woman who
keeps a lodging house on the north
side. He and the young woman put
up at this lodging house and remained
few days but the landlady did not
like their actions and finally asked the
young man to vacate his room. He Sc
cured a baggage wagon and went af-
ter his trunk, but when the baggage
man went to get it the lady refused to
let him take it until she had few
words with the young man. He enter
ed the door, it was shut, there was a
crash and in a few minutes they came
out The mans cane was broken and
he appeared somewhat ruffled, but the
the trunk and the scene was closed.

Today about noon, for the second
time, the public library in the city hall
was robbed. Fortunately there We're
only few small coins in the cash
drawer, but a watch belonging to the
librarian was taken from the desk
There is no doubt that the foul deed
was prompted by malignant hatred of
system that necessitates closing the

goes to prove that the public library
should not be closed to the public ex-

TIE STREET CARS
ARE AS FAR FROM THE TWEEN
TIETH CENTURY AS EVER
The Old Companies are Even Thinking
of Dissolving Again, and the Last
Condition Will Be Worse Than the
First.

There has been no change in the
street car situation since the council
granted a franchise to the citizens
committee.
The new franchise is still in the
hands of the committee and no one has
been found who is willing to take 1t up
and organize a company. This is ex-
planned by the fact that no eastern cap
italists will invest in line in Ell Haso
unless it could cross the river into
Juarez This they cannot do, it seems,
as the old company claims to have
all the franchises on the river and no
other bridge can be put up near their
bridges.
The old company has again settled
down and is sleeping quietly, unmo-
Tested by the clamor of the public. The
old company is correct in thinking II
has a cinch and nothing is likely to
be done for many months.
Several times the old company has
offered it's lines for sale and numerous
eastern people have been here to in
SNOAA
tn point and have taken to other fields.
The old company has the practical
bridge sites, and without properly To-
Gated bridges no company could exist.
lat least so it is generally considered).
and no new company is going to pay
the price the old company wants for
its property. There are two men in Ell
Paso now who are here to investigate
the situation, but when they learned
that the old company wanted 5000, 900
for it's franchise and few thousand
dollars worth of material they asked
no more questions
The directors of the old lines will
meet here on the second Tuesday in
February to again explain to the pub
Tic that the power companies will not
bid on furnishing the power. This will
be the annual meeting of the directors
and on that day it is expected that
the companies will dissolve and each
company run its cars separately. The
FL Paso Street company will cross the
river and turn round on the main
street of Juarez, returning over the
Stanton street bridge. The Santa Fe
Street company will run its cars from
the Center block to the Santa Fe depot.
Thus even the poor system the city
now has is to be broken and the sys-
tenn become worse than nothing.
1t is understood that the consolldat-
ed companies will again discuss cleo
trio power but they will attempt to get
power from the light companies that
are already overtaxed, and will fail of
course. An explanation is then due
from General Mills to the effect that if
the Ell Paso people want electric cars
let them make Colonel Zach White be-
have himself and furnish power for the
company cheaper than the mules will
haul the dog kennels
