 Trouble for DIonahan-In the City
 Court.
 Judge Tyner in the city court yester- day morning did not believe the story told of Joseph M. Degnan and other railroad strikers as to the shooting by Henry w. Dexter, a. railroader from South Omaha, Neb, at Kelleher's sa- loon on Friday. Dexter repeated the facts as they were credited to him in the papers.
 Dexter, it will be remembered, is the man who has taken the place of one of the striking railroad yard men and Degnan is one of the strikers. It was claimed that Degnan and several oth- CT strikers. attacked Dexter and that Dexter fired a gun over Degnan's head in order to frighten the crowd away.
 Degnan testified that he had not been in the saloon and was corroborated by Louis Hooghkirk and A. G. Carr, also railroaders. Dexter described the eight railroaders who threatened him, and Degnan and the other witnesses insist ed that they did not knew the men. Degnan cross-exanined Dexter and asked, "Why was I arrested so long after you had been?"
 You will have to ask the police for the answer" replied Dexter.
 Degnan was fined $1O and costs and Dexter, who was defended by Attorney Sidney Rosenberg, was discharged by Judge Tyner

CATTLE IN MEXICO.
Crossing the Line to Replace Run
down Ranches

Since the duty was taken off American
cattle by the Mexican government carloads
have been crossing the line to replenish the
rundown ranches in some parts of Mexico.
Almost every day carloads of cattle can be
seen passing through Monterey to points
in the southern part of the republic.
Most of the cattle imported from Texas
and points farther north are fine bred. OF
late many fine mich cows have been
shipped in from Illinois. Kentucky and
other states noted for fine cattle. These
are going to Mexico City and vicinity for
the diaries which are springing up in that
part of the republic. Most of the fine breed
of cattle are coming from the northern
states OF the United States, and cattle for
the ranches are being shipped mostly from
Texas Arizona and other southwestern
states At the present rate it will not take
long to supply Mexico with fine cattle, both
for the range and the diaries.

Better No Food Than No Opera.
From Harper's Magazine.


The creole would rather do without few
meals than miss good opera with a fine
cast nor does this admirable spirit merely
apply to the middle classes. Many charm
ing little creole lady who might point to a
Marigny on her escutcheon would not hest
tate, if hard pressed, to do her own house
work in order to be able to blossom out at
night in her proper place, radiant and ex-
ouisite in a loge grille at the opera. 1t
matters little in New Orleans to what I'M
fortunate straits adversely may have driven
a lady; even though she may do typewrit-
ing for people whom she meets socially.
there are enough undetermined people of
the ancient regime who will help her to for
get the pinch of poverty and see that she
receives the greatest consideration. This
inbred chivalry is one of the most marked
and endearing traits of the southern char
acter lending to the south an atmosphere
free from our parasitical funkeyfsm over
mere money or its insignia.

however. and everybody seemed happy. In
