BOY SAVES HIS
MOTHERS LIFE
LITTLE ANTONIO ARGUELL0
PREVENTS A MURDER
Runs for Help When an Insane Man
Breaks Into His Home and At
tacks the Inmates With
Knife

Little Antonio Arguello's ready wit
was the means Of saving his mother
from the knife of an assassin yester-
day afternoon.
Mrs. Matilda Arguello was seated at
her writing desk in the library of her
home at 62S Tehama street when A.
Garcia rushed into the room. After
venting his insane wrath on Mrs. Ar
guello's niece, Mary, the man turned
upon the woman. For a moment he
held the cleaning blade of a long knife
over the helpless woman-and then aid
came.
When Garcia dashed into the house,
Antonio, the ten-year r-old son of Mrs.
Arguello. was playing in an adjoining
room. He heard the mans footsteps
and next volley of threats in a deep,
coarse voice.
Saw Garcia Pick Up Knife
The little fellow ran to the door,
Peering through crack he saw Garcia
pick up a knife. That was enough for
the boy. He ran across the street to
the home of his uncle, Patrolman Ar
guello. whom he met at the door. 1t
took only second for the lad to tell
what was happening at his home.
AS Arguello dashed into the back
door Garcia ran out of the front door
and down the street, with the patrol
man in pursuit. Slowly but steadily
Arguello gained on the would-be as
sassin, and after a chase of four blocks
he overlook the man.
short struggle ensued in which
the patrolman overcame the insane
man. He walked his prisoner to a
house nearby and called a patrolman
on duty. Garcia was locked up in the
city Jail on a charge of intoxicatlon.
A complaint, however, will be filed
against him charging him with an at
tempt to commit murder.
PatroIman Arguelo's Statement
Il was busy at my home when my
nephew came running up and said
that man was going to kill his
mother" said Arguello. "Of course I
did not wait for anything. but ran to-
ward the house. Garcia heard me and
tried to escape. AS soon as I saw that
Mrs. Arguello was not injured I ran
after Garcia and caught him.
Mrs. Arguello told me all about the
affair afterward She said that she
had never seen the man before. When
he entered the house he first ad-
dressed my daughter, and then rushed
over to Mrs. Arguello. There Is little
doubt that he would have carried out
his threat had it not been for An
tonio.'
Garcia lives with relatives on Bridge
street just beneath the bridge. He is
believed to be insane. He was arrested
some time ago and locked up in the
city Jail, where he caused so much
disturbance that he was placed in one
of the lower tanks.
Angered at his confinement, the man
decided that he would end his life. He
gained possession Of matches and set
his clothing on fire. The jailer on duty
was attracted by the smell of smoke
and went to investigate it.
Clinging to the bars of the iron door,
with his clothing ablaze, was Garcia.
The jailer called to the TRUSTEES on duty
and the men entered the cell. A fierce
struggle ensued. but Garcia finally
was overpowered and placed where he
could not harm himself.

FORT WORTH, Tex, March ia
Kansas negro, 20 years of age, visited
the town of Clarendon. He met two
young white women in the street and
made no effort to give them room to
pass, simply nodding his head at them
and telling them there was plenty of
room.
The girls walked into the slush and
mud of the gutter to get around him.
Turning to a companion, the negro
sneeringly remarked: THAT is the way
we do in Kansas"
The girls went home and reported the
insult. Last night body of determined

THE ILLINOIS ISSUE
Who Lost It?

A conservative estimate is made that
it cost $250,0OO to run the saloons of
kossville during the eight years. Think
how much of this was lost to legitimate
trade, to permanent improvements in
the way of homes and real estate values,
and to needed food and clothing for
poor families. Somebody was robbed of
the majority of this $250,OOO. Was
your baby, your boy, your girl or your
wife? If so are you sneak enough to
try to rob them again?
1 hear people say, eve are not to
blame. If people want to drink, let
them drink. We cannot stop them"
But, friends, we can help it. We, the
voters of the United States, are to
blame because every second and fourth
year we get an opportunity to Danish

Important Lessons

Liquor is essentially lawless. 1t
enters the most genteel, lawabiding
citizen to make him a criminal, a man
for blood and death. Seventy-five out
of every one hundred men convicted of
deeds in human blood were nerved by
liquor for this crime. This is the testi-
mony of criminal history. 1t follows

Cheap Men VS.. Dear Hogs
Sam Jones on the Price of Men and the
Price of Hogs in Iowa.

Sam Jones recently lectured in ST.
courtney, Iowa, and justly roasted"
those who signed saloon petitions. This
report is from a Sigourney paper:
'"This nice little Iowa town, with
farming region around it makes one
of the garden spots of the world; but
with all your blessings you can't get
along without three saloons to debauch
your village and ruin your boys, be-
cause you need the money Here Mr..
Jones inquired Of the surprised audi
ence, How much is the license here?'
Some one answered. $500 each to the
town. Nine hundred dollars alto
gether,' resumed Jones. What is your
population?' Answer, Two thousand
The speaker then did little lightning
calculation, and resumed:
''The liquor dealer walked up to you
and said, If you will let us damn
this town, we will give you forty cents
piece. Say, what would two hun
dred-pound hog bring?'
Answer, twelve dollars. &c. re-
sumed Jones, hogs twelve dollars
apiece, and folks forty cents head
Say, brother, don't you wish you were
hog? You and your whole family
wouldn't bring enough in this town to
buy sucking pig. This is little
lower down than I have ever found
them. For the pitiful sum Of forty
cents apiece you turn over your boys to
be debauched, the hearts of mothers to
be crushed, and the town ruined-all
for forty cents. This is cheap; but /
expect that is all you are worth, eh?'
"T want to drop this out There
is not man Of you that signed that
petition to bring saloons to this town,
or county, but deserves that every boy
you have in your home shall fill
drunkard's grave, and your daughters
live in the embraces of drunken hus-
bands. What did you sign it for? If
you did not want your boy to drink or
your daughter to marry a drunkard, you
damnable scoundrels, what did you do
it for? Stand up on your hind feet and
talk back. You surely did not sign
hoping your boy would not drink but
your neighbours would. Why don't you
say; ITO tell you the God Almighty truth
I did it for the forty cents?' If the devil
don't get you for it, it is just because
he don't want you; and every man that
will sign that petition-the devil will
get the last man of you-but thank
God he won't get much. If you fellows
that signed that petition don't feel like
a hog, you don't feel natural, that's

The cold snap of few weeks
ago froze out about fifty per
cent of the fall sown grain in the
Palouse country and the farmers
are putting in about 26 hours a
day now reseeding the land and
putting in their spring grain.
Most of them put in such long
hours that when they start to bed
they meet themselves coming out
again with a lantern to begin a
new days work. The crop
through that country will be
considerable lighter this year be-
cause of the loss of so much fall
grain but here on the prairie
where the grain was covered
with snow the cold weather did
no damage at all. It pays to live
where crops never fail.

The Mare Saved Her Colt.

A Waco dispatch to the Houston,
Texas, Chronicle, says that one OF the
most remarkable instances OF animal
sagacity ever coming to light in this
section is related by Engineer James
Parrott of No. 103 of the International
& Great Northern Railway, and Con-
ductor Frank King and several pasSen-
gers on the train will vouch for the cor
rectness of the story.
When the sou,h-bound passenger
train on that road was near Hallsburg,
ten miles southeast, a night or two ago,
a mare suddenly dashed up the track
right toward the train, running swiftly.
The engineer thought the mare was
blinded by the headlight, but the train
was no sooner slowed down than the
mare turned about and went from the
train, keeping right down the tracks and
making it impossible to run fast lest the
animal be struck.
The mare went straight to a bridge
over a creek, and when within short
distance of the bridge of the railway IL
was discovered that the colt of the mare
had fallen with all of its feet through
the bridge, placing it where it would
have been killed had not the mare liter
ally tagged the train. The mare stop
ped and began whinnying, and the trair
stopped also. The engineer, the fire
man, and some of the passengers got
off. and relieving the colt, left the mare
to trot off with her young as proud as
peacock.
