Ell CABO CASTRO
SUS PROEZAS ANTIGUAS

Hace pocos dfas public6 LA DEMO
CRACTA un suelto lamentando Ia cesan-
tia del cabo Rafael Castro, euien 81
Jefe Hamill separ6 del servicio.
Al llegar Ell peri6dico Barran-
quitas, Sc nos envi6 desde ALI una
carta muy en6rgica, en- que Sc acusa-
ba al propio Castro de abusos anti
guos en- aquella localidad.
Juzgando ap6crifa dicha carta,
escribimos Barran4uitas solicitando
information verfdica. Ahora Ia reci-
bimos. Y es cierto que el cabo Castro
realiz6 los actos brutales que Sc le
atribuyen.
~EI 1902 los cabos Castro Alba
comandaban, Ell primero el puesto de
Barros ell segundo Ell puesto de Ba-
rranquitas. Los dos protegieron q las
turbas republicans en- sus excesos /:
los dos parecfan proponerse al exter-
mimic de los federales, por el delito-de
no permitir que Barranq Sc ex-
tendiera tambien el pe1pltao puche15sno
de Barros.2
4GS 0CS OIOOS1 46SlSlJAOSS COul J4I-
ces de las turbas capitaneadas por un
tai Pepe Huesras, persiguieron & los
federales que, huyendo la horda fe-
r6z, abandonaban sus hogares deia-
ban Ell pueblo merced de un brigan-
dale sin conciencia.
Luego los nismos cabos ayudaron
q destruir ell mobiliario del club fede-
raj, cdyas paroles acribillaron & ba-
lazos. Y ell cabo Castro, ca1ietenente,
escudandose en- su condici6n de poll
cfa, armandose de todas las armas,
verti6 insultos contra las v1ctimas de
aquella salvaje dragonada.
Vease como concluye el informe
viril que sc nos remite:
-SCastro Alba fueron los cue
con mayor sada nos persegu1an en-
1902, por tanto no merecen elogtos.>
LA DEMOCRACIA rectifca. Y, re-
tiradas las frases halagUa11as que eI
cabo Castro no mecece, escribe Ia cen
sura que su proceder de entonces re-
clama.
Ha salido ese pobre hombre de la
Policfa Insular baio la acusaci6n de
negligencia. Debi6 salir antes por
acusaeiones mas duras. Los hombrss
que, prevali6ndose de sus prerogati-
vas, abusan dc un pueblo inerme, in
iuriandole y maltr tratandole mano
saliva, son diguos de cualQuier castigo
Al fin, en- la Ultima etapa de su
calrera, y en- estas lfneas, Ell cabo
Castro logra ell premio que Sc debe &

Meeting Will Be Held to Talk Up
 Fire Company
 Many are asking the question why the village can't have a volunteer fire company, There is no reason why it can't be gotten. Some of the old settlers five years ago said it was impossible to get more than two mails into the village daily. To-day we have mail going and coming on every train; also have the best of po- lice protection, and the best of light ed streets, with the exception of one or two side streets. The new lights that have been installed in the past week are a great improvement, being shut off at F o'clock every night ex- cepting Saturday night, when they burn all night. Now that goes to show that with but very little ener- gy it would be an easy matter to get the board of aldermen to vote us a small chemical engine and ladder truck combined. Where is there an- other town or village in the state with population of 1,5O0 people with five large factories, who employ about 1000 hands from Waterbury, that does not have means of fighting fire2 To go to the expense of putting hy-# drants about the village would be too great an expense, as the city water does not reach the east side of Py- thian hall so what the people of the village want is a chemical engine and ladder truck combined. All who are interested will meet in Albert Ciac- co.'s barber shop Friday evening at 8 o'clock.
 St Michael's parish will give its sec ond annual lawn fete Thursday even ing at Pythian hall, Wateryille Great preparations are being made to have this social evening eclipse the success attained by the one of, last year. There will be an abundance of Chi nese lanterns, electric lights, and par Tor lamps to enhance the scene. The space set apart for the ice cream and refreshment tables will be ar tistically decorated and enclosed with bunting. Ample seating accommo- dations will be furnished for those who attend. The dance hall is one of the best in the city and as the. music is of the best, a large dancing pro- gram has been arranged. NEthing will be wanting to make 1t a rare evening of pleasure.

Missouri is not often thought of as a Wine-producing state, yet recent statis- tics compiled by the state board of agri- culture show that the state produces an- nually more than 100000 gallons of wine, and that more than 13.000,0O0 pounds of grapes are raised each year. These figures apply to the products whtch are shipped out. as no record can be kept of the large amount of both grapes and wine that are produced for home use.
