 DOUGLAS BAsT|LE
Mexican Woman Who Had Companion Jailed For
 Abusing Her,

DOUGLAS, Dec. 24-(Special.)- Elena Esquir languishes in the city prison. the while serving out a sentence of the court that will require just about eight days to complete.
 Pablo Lugue rests in the county holdover with an even twenty un- served days to his credit.
 Naturally, there is story, and here it is.
 1ugue at intervals drinks-that is drinks something more potential than water. And when he drinks some times he fights.
 That was just what happened yes. tetday. as the tale was told Judge Nc. Donald. and the person whom he fought was Elena EsquieT, according to the courts informant. who was none other than Elena herself. Ele' ma was bruised both in body and spirit by the assault of Pablo and while her mental wounds were more acute than her physical she told of the assault to the officers, who arrest led Pabio.
 Pablo got twenty days. did Pablo, land heSpeLt the first night of twenty in tl.e county jail last night.
 Then as the night wore on and the liniment began to heal the bodily wounds of Elena and thoughts of Pa. ic when he had been kind to her began tO soften the mental scars, she became su' ION iul and cO7trite of spir- 1t She ekGn began to avgGe unto her self that she had been wrong and that Pablo had T rl@hj to get drunk and abuse CT if he wanted to. And tHen, also. came over her, as she hugged .. warm stove, the thought that perhaps the county jail was not warm and that maybe Pablo was suffering with cold The pang of conscience gave way to remorse and under the circum- stances what was more natural than that she should try to bury her grief, seeking surcease from sorrow in a bottle. and fortunately she possessed a bottle of good stiff wine.
 The remorse bangs no sooner sug- gested this remedy than she had act ed upon it. and over in the corner an empty bottle struck a solid substance and shattered glass rained about the room.
 With the wine glow at work upon her she went out into the cold and in the city's prescribed neighborhood sought a friend-doubtiess to get more wine.
 Whether she found it or not is a matter of no consequence. She took on a fearful load and she wound ur the night at the city jail.
 And there, also winds up this story.

POST OFFICE BOX
 RENT Is REDUCED
Christmas Present Received By Patrons of Uncle Sam'S
 Douglas Headquarters.

DOUGLAS, Dec. 24.-(Special.)- Postmaster Cawlell has a Christ. mas present for every person who rents lock box at the postoftice.
 And 1t is of something of a substan tiai nature, too.
 It might have been a good idea not to have said anything about this and let the postmaster tell all of his box renters about it Christmas morning but as that is obviously impossible the press is the next best medium so here goes.
 By virtue of new ruling by the postoffice department after the first of the new year the rent for lock boxes will be reduced from 75 cents to 50 cents a quarter, which means a saving to the box renters of some thing like s150 a quarter, or $600 3 year.
 No reduction will be granted fo: drawers or bins the price of these be ing $1 and S1.50 respectively.
 These prices are fixed under scale provided recently by the department and which is regulated according to the class of cities. Heretofore the various postoffices have been regulat. ing the price of boxes.

NOTABLE CRIMINAL
 U K TIILS AGAIN Rufus Nephews, Alias Climax Jim, Must This Time Face
 Forgery Charge.

DOUGLAS. Dec. 24.-(Special.) )- Rufus Nephews, alias Climax Jim, who has figured in the courts of Ora ham county with a great deal of prom thence for a great many years back. is again in jail. He has been in GUS tody heretofore on various charges. some of them of the most desperate character and his reputation has been made for jail breaking rather than for crimes of a general nature. He was arrested this time at Morenci and as was his custom he broke jail in AIorenci before he could be taken to the county seat at Solomonville. But also in accordance with customs, he was recaptured and is now safely be hind the bars again. Just how he got his sobriquet of Climax Jim is hard to learn but there is a story prevalent that he was given that name because of his consumption of marvellous quan- titles of Climax tobacco in the days when that brand was as staple as sug- ar in Arizona. Concerning his latest offenses and the manner of his de lection, the Graham County Guardian says:
 The charge lodged against Climax is forgery. although ln the strictest sense of the word it may not be that. but our statutes provide that the crime is forgery.
 It seems that package of cancelled checks had been mailed to one of the Clifton banks amounting to S12o0.
 arli ir,t11 1at fell into the hands of Climax Jim. He passed two of them at saloons and at tempted to pass third for S90 at a store, after purchasing s1 hat.
 None of the checks bore any mark Iof cancellation, and that they, had been cancelled could not be detected until they were held up to the light, then ii could be plainly seen that the cancellation stamp had been removed with acid CT other means.
 The clerk from whom the hat was purchased became suspicious of Cli- max and asked him to wait a minute until he could take the check to the office The bank was called up and something of the true situation learned When the clerk returned Cli- max had disappeared.
 4 warrant was sworn out, Climax Jim was arrested and taken to MoTen- ci for a preliminary hearing. where he was bound over to await the action of the grand jury.
 He claimed that some man had giv- en him the checks with the request that he cash them, but the bank off, cials are of the opinion that he got on to the combination of the postoffice box in some way and took the enve- lope containing them from there.

pRINTERS' ANGEL KNEW.

It wasn't a Missouri editor but printers devil who was going through his first experience on making up forms. The paper was late and the boy got the galleys mixed. The first part of the obituary notice of pecu- nious citizen had been dumped in the forms and the next handful of type came off the galley describing recent fire. It read like this: The pail bearers lowered the body to the grave and as 1t was consigned 10 the flames there were few if any regrets, for the old wreck had been an eye sore to the town for years. Of course there was individual loss, but that was fully covered by insurance" The widow thinks the editor wrote the obituary that way because the lamented part ner of her joys and corrows owed him five years subscription.

CUP|D'S VICTIM IS
 MINUS HARD CASH Applied For Marriage License But Was Without Pesos
 To Pay For It.

DOUGLAS. Dec. 24.-tSpecial)- It was happy moment for a cer- tain well appearing young Mexican who presented himself at the office of Judge Mcdonald and applied to the latter's clerk, A M. Corona, for mar riage license. It also caused a slight ripple of delight to pass through the system of certain reporter who was waiting for just such an incident to turn up. Ii was happy moment for the youth. who was dressed in the heyday of holiday attire for the oc- casion and who took much pleasure in furnishing the name of his intended and at the same time his own, for he knew that once a license to marry was in his possession the part most essential to the realization of his dream had been provided. The re- porter was pleased because he saw in the situation the possibility of some sort of a story. He was so pleased. in fact, that when it was found the Mexican had to have another witness 10 the marital contract he volunteered the use of his signature, thus render ing himself liable for any failure of the performance of the obligations of the young man.
 The Mexican continued pleased, and ''gracias'' and similar expressions thrown about the room in profusion. fusion.
 Then of a sudden the spirit of the young mans dreams changed. Some thing had been said by Mir. Corona about pesos" A look that was as blank as the ages spread over the prospective gruou'z eoUntenance. It was evident he was not there with the pesos A hurried consultation with one or two of his fellows, who had dropped in. followed. Each of tbem shrugged his shoulders and said something which broadly translated meant nothing doing" The situa. ton was made known to Mir. Corona and the Mexican promised to come back later with the wherewithal
 The reporter even after signing the bond got no wedding story, but as there is some sort of a story to every happening, no matter how trivial, herewith is concluded the story of this incident.

RESIGNED
HIS POSITION:WITH
I. G G. N. RAILROAD COMPANY AS
SUPERINTENDENT OF 3. AND 3.
DEPARTMENT.

Mr.. A. L. Bowers, superintendent of
Bridges and Buildings of the l. & G.
N. railroad, and who has been con
tinuously connected with that road
for thirty-five years, has resigned, his
resignation to take effect on August l.
This information a Herald man Sc
cured from Mr.. Bowers. In answer
to the question as to what were his
future plans, Mr.. Bowers said he
would enter actively into the rail.
road construction business, and that
he had arranged to take over some
big contracts Immediately.
As a builder in this line Mr.. Bowers
is recognized as being one of the very
best in the South, and his severance
of the position he has held so long is
a serious loss to the road.
The gentleman's friends hope and
believe that the change will rebound
to the gentleman's benefit, as lie is
eminently qualified for the work, and
no doubt his services will be in con-
slant demand because of his large ex-
perience in such work.

NEW RAILROAD
WILL De BUILT
so SAYS CHIEF ENGINEER ERIC
soN.-oKLAHoMA, RED RIVER &
GULF, NAME OF ROAD.

Chief Ericsson of the new railroad
surveying corps, in conversation with
President John r. Hearne of the Board
of Trade, said yesterday that the sur
vey for the new railroad from Green
vile t9. and through Palestine had
been e6mpleted5@=n tesza=sas low
busily engaged in getting up his final
report of the survey. with all the
details worked out. That the survey
had been completed from Greenvile
to point in Houston county, and
that construction would begin at as
early a date as is practical He
thinks the work of construction will
begin at or near Palestine, and pushed
north to Greenville with all the speed
possible.
When questioned as to what inter
est was behind the movement, he said
he was not prepared to say, as the
work thus far done was independent
of any other road, so far as he knew,
and that the new road to be construct
ed would be known as the Oklahoma.
Red River & Gulf; that it had no con-
nection with the Trinity & Brazos
Valley, but may be a part of the Fris-
co system.
That the road will be built he is
sure, and that very soon. As to
whether Palestine will be asked for
anything or not he did not know. He
said it was very certain, however, that
it is the desire of the people behind
the enterprise to come to Palestine.
They may do so, and they may not.
1t depends on developments. He in
timated very strongly that it all de-
ponds upon Palestine's attitude to-
ward the enterprise.
President Hearne assured him that
Palestine wants the road. and that he
thought the road could get right-of-
way into and through the city, and
whatever terminal grounds are re-
quired.
Mr.. Ericsson assured Mr.. Hearne
that he did not know whether or not
anything will be asked of the people
of Palestine, other than the good will
of the citizens, and their cooperation.
Construction will begin at this end
because it will be easier to get con
struction material in this timbered
section, as to begin at the Greenyille
end would entail unnecessary expense
in transporting cross-ties and other
materials.
All the force of surveyors have been
except those necessary to
inish up the minor details necessary
or making final report on the work.
