The Lost Spanish Mine.

A. T, Thornhill has been in the
city the past two weeks organi-
zing a company to prospect what
he thinks is an old Spanish mine.
Mr.. Thornhill brought with him
a stone containing some very PEI
culiar hieroglyphics that were
evidently made many, many
years ago. This stone was found
by Mr.. Thornhill in peculiar
way. In company with J. X.
Stone, who is also in the mining
business, they were looking for
surface indications, and Thorn
hill went into thicket on the
mountain, there he found a num-
Der of stones sticking edgeways
as If they were placed there by
the hands of man, and all point
ing to n common center. Going
into the thicket, he found large
rats nest built on q flat stone.
The two moved the large stone,
about 3x6 feet, and found the
stone brought to town face down,
and he thinks this is the mouth
of the old mine that has been
filled up.
Mr.. Thornhill secured
lease on the land last week. 1t
is situated about 8 miles from
Menardville and fifty from San
Angelo. A party of seven de.
parted for the place yesterday,
and after they do some digging,
we will learn whether the real
thing has been found.

Texas Steers Bring $6.75.

To again call attention to its
great supremacy as a Texas cattle
market, st. Louis sold cattle from
the Lone Star state at $6.75 to-
day.
This is the highest price
paid on this market since March
81, when top Of $3.50 was paid,
and it is the highest price in years
at any market for Texas cattle,
excepting the Fort Worth show
cattle, which were sold on this
market last March.

Inspection of Shipping Cattle.

This question, which has always
been a more or less veXatious one,
was apparently settled to the sat
isfaction of one shipper recently.
He is a very Large" stockman
and well known, and was telling
n PRESS reporter his experience
last Thursday. Some time since,
he said he offered railroad, in
county i'll this portion of the
state, quite a bunch of cattle for
shipment. He had made no
arrangements for the usual in
spection, to which the agent call
ed his attention and notified him
that they could not receive them
for shipment nor ship them until
the inspection had been perform
ed. The shipper replied that he
did not intend to have the cattle
inspected and would not have it
done at his own expense; that the
cattle were there, in the pens,
ready for shipment, and that if
the company cared to do so, that
it could have them inspected at
its own expense and that it could
either ship them or let them stay
in the pens, inspection or no in
spection and, in either event, on
its own responsibility, Result
the cattle were shipped, and the
shipper had nothing to do with
the inspection,

THEFT AT HIGH SCHOOL.
A Buzz of Excitement Caused by the
Loss of Seventeen and Half Dol
lars--Taken from a Scholars Desk.
Fruitless Search of Pupils

Quite buzz of excitement was pro-
duced in the Carbondale High school
yesterday forenoon over the supposed
theft of sum of money, $3.50, from
the desk of one of the scholars.
When the disappearance of the money
was reported, a dillgent, but fruitless,
search was made. Five girls and one
boy, who said they saw the money,
were called into Superintendent Carr
and made to submit to a search. Later
Constable Henry Pierce was called into
the case to make an investigation but
he met with little success in locating
the money or the supposed thief
The money disappeared from the
room taught by Miss Julia kilhullen.
Lillian Peuuckert, of Hospital street,
was the victim. The scholar came TO
school in the morning with the $3.50 to
send away at noon through the local
postoflce. When she came into the
classroom. she placed the money,
which was in bills and in an envelope,
on her desk. She had ST., Patrick 3
day badge which was side-by-side with
the money as it lay on the desk. The
badge attracted the attention Of sew
eral of the scholars, who commented
on it, as they hocked around the
Peuckert girl. She went to the cloak
room, leaving the money, she claimed,
in her desk When she returned the
money was gone. The loss was reported
and caused Il great fiutter when the an
nouncement was made.
Superintendent Carr was notified. His
inquiries brought out the six scholars.
five girls and one boy, who saw the en-
velope in which the Peuckert girl had
the money These were asked to step
into the superintendent rooms, where
of the reported missing money was
found on any Of them. The search con-
tirmed the statements which the schol-
ars made with reference to their con-
nection with the loss of the bills. Sub
sequently, Constable Pierce, of Alder
man Morrison's court, was sent for. He
made an investigation. which, however,
was as barren of results as was the one
by the superintendent.
The circumstances of the case We're
such that not the least tangible clue or
explanation of the girls loss developed.
1t was case that balked the officials,
and all that was left to be done was
for them to bide their time for some
clue or explanation which would dis
cover how the money went, and where.
The Peuckert girl was visibly de-
pressed at her misfortune. She was so
disconsolate that she remained in the
school building during the lunch hour
until her father visited the school and
relieved her mind.

Sidewalk on South Main Street Takes
Tumble While Two Men Are
Walking Over It-Given Quite

A Carbondale resident, George Cur
It's, and all out-of-town man, DR.. Ste
vens, of Canaan. had quite an unique
experience last night, one that gave
them quite a scare and made them
feel somewhat queer for awhile.
The doctor and Mr.. Curtis We're COM
ing up South Main street about
o'clock. When they We're passing the
Delmonico restaurant, kept by L. II.
W. Burke, the sidewalk gave way,
dropping into the vault-like cellar be-
reath Both men also dropped. There
was no way or no chance of escaping
and in an instant they were six feet
below the surface of the street scram-
bling about in Il dark. univting spot.
I'll" distance they dropped was the
least aiscomforting part of their eX-
perience. it was the hour of the adven-
ture that asitated them and made
them think that for all they knew
they We're making a descent into the
mine. II was the most sudden hap
pening III their experience and one cal
culated to put their nerves on the
ragged edge. To be walking along the
street, deeply absorbed in a discus
sion, and in the twinkling of an eye
to have the sidewalk drop from un-
der YOU and land you-well you don't
know where-is not going to fill you
with peace of mind. The contrary,
however, is true. And this made up
The nOst of the injuries of the sin
gularlE oVertaken men. Their nervous
systems We're thrown out of plumb,
until they managed to pull themselves
out of the cellar and were once more
in Il more inviting place in the lighted
thoroughfare. Injured feelings and
humping hearts, battered hats and
soiled clothing, with perhaps few
ahrasions, were the extent of their mis-
hap. The mental pictures they had
during the lightning-like descent into
the cellar We're as rapid as the kineto-
scope in the picture shows.
A iaw in the walk was the cause of
the trouble.
