HALL TO GUARD WEALTH.
weIl-KnOwn Ranger and Soldier Seeks
Old Comrades to Take Service
With Him in Mexico.

Austin, Tex, May 22.-Capt.
/ Lee Hall, who has noted military
record as commander of Texas
Ranger company in the earlier
days of the State and as an officer
of the United States Army i'll the
Philippines during the trouble
some time in those distant islands.
was here today on business of a
nature that smacks of the old-time
perils which he was wont to en-
counter in his more youthful days.
Captain Hall has been in Wash
ington and New York for the past
several months and while in that
part of the country the New York
representative of wealthy mining
company which owns mines in the
Yaqui Indian country of Mexico
closed a contract with Captain
Hall for him to act as commander
of an armed conducta to guard the
shipments of bullion from the
mines to the railroad.
I am in Austin today for the
purpose of looking up some of the
men who belonged to my ranger
company with the view of en-
ploying them as my assistants in
this work of guarding the bullion
car" Capt. Hall said. There
will be about six assistants re-
quired and I called on the Adju-
tant Generals department to see
if l could find where some of the
men whom l would like to join
me are now located. l have been
overwhelmed with applications
from men who want job in the
dangerous work, but l have turned
them all down. I want to obtain
the services of some of my old
men if possible; men who have
been tried in Indian fights before
and found to be all right.
The bullion will be hauled
from the Gireoux mines, in the
state of Sonora to the station of
Carlo, on the Guaymas branch of
the Southern Pacific, in an armor-
ed automobile car, which has been
built to order for the purpose. The
distance is twenty-eight miles.
for the mines as we'll as
men who desire to make the trip
to and from the places named will
be transported in this armored car.
I and my assistants will not ride
in the car, but will travel horse
back as guards.
The dangerousness of the work
may be realized when it is stated
that practically all traffic between
the mines and the railroad has
been suspended for some time on
account of the depredations of
bands of Yaqui Indians. Many
mining men and armed
escorts of government soldiers
have been ambushed and killed by
the Indians
1t is said that Captain Hall is to
receive a salary of $4,000 for his
services. The armored car will be
placed III operation about June l.
He left for San Antonio tonight. |

Anderson, the man who has been amaz-
ing Valley City people by his astonish-
ing stunts" was found lying in a
horse stall in a barn. contentedly
munching wisp of hay.
Anderson first broke into print when

and cutting his jugular vein with a
piece of glass.
Then on being released from Jail he
went to a residence. stole woman's S
dress, a sealskin sack and other femi-
nine apparel, arrayed in which he pa
raded the principal streets until again
arrested.
Now it is claimed that Anderson has
suddenly developed a taste for hay.
This Is not confined to mere nibbling
of a few straws, but he consumes the
provender in large quantities. The
farmers in this vicinity are trying to in
duce Anderson to go to work for them,
"for," as one of them put it, IF all my
farm hands ate hay 1 could go to Cali
fornia every year.

NEW YORK, Nov. 90.-Two minutes
after the marriage ceremony MISS Mar
garet German was deserted yesterday
at the altar, but she was happy last
evening, for a reunion had taken place.
Miss German was married at st. Jo-
seph's Catholic church in East twenty
second street. Bayonne, N. j., to Mich
ael Harville. He is a siX-footer and
his bride is not quite five feet.
During the courtship the difference
in their height had apparently not APP
pealed to the bridegroom, but when he
stood at the altar and the ceremony
was being performed he noticed IT,
AS the guests were about to rush Tor
ward and offer their congratulations
Harville stopped and said to the blush
ing Margaret:
II think you are too short for me.
Good by"
Then he rushed from the church and
was out of sight before the amazed
guests had recovered from their sur
prise.
The bride swooned When she re-
vived she was led to her home in tears
and the wedding festivities were de-
elared off. Toward evening the BRIDE
groom appeared at the brides home.
He was sorry, he said, for what he
had said and done and he didn't mean
1t. anyhow. He considered his bride
plenty tall enough for him.
Margaret cried with joy, embraced
and kissed him and sent notices for
the guests to come to the belated fes-
tiVities

NEW CHARTER

proVal Of Citizens-Defers Elec-
ton One Year--Reduces
Salaries of Officials

Special to The Herald
LONG BEACH, Nov. 3O.--After sea-
sion lasting from $3.50 o'clock this
morning until c'cock tonight the
charter board of freeholders declared
the new charter completed and affixed
their signatures, to the document
The charter was read entirely
through by ]. A. Miller, secretary of
the board, and a majority of the Sec
tions were adopted as they had been
virtually agreed upon in previous
meetings. Two important changes
were made, however, to reduce the ap-
parent objections to the new instru-
ment. With these changes the men,
cers of the board feel that they have
done all in their power to satisfy the
demands of the people as so far ex-
pressed, and hope that the charter will
be accepted by a majority Of the
voters.
The first change made today was
with the intention of decreasing the
expense to be incurred by the city
under the new order of things. The
salary of the mayor which had been
fixed at $500, was reduced to $500; the
salary of the city attorney, fixed at a
like amount, suffered the same reduc-
ton; councilmen's pay for attending
meeting was cut from $5 to $3 the
salary of the city treasurer was cut
down from $3.50 to $500. The salary of
the tax collector and license collector
and of auditor were fixed at. $1,000
each.
Election Is Deferred
Late this afternoon the members of
the board agreed to defer the first
municipal election under the new
charter until December of next year.
rHl,s1 9-s. l.. It'd 1 ,ff
Zens who opposed the holding of the
election in April, as had been planned.
The present trustees will now have an
opportunity of car: ying out certain
municipal improvements which they
have planned and will not be forced
out of office without having a faii
chance to fulfill their promises along
these lines. The city election will be
held in December every two years.
The remainder of the charter was
accepted today practically is 1t had
been reported before. The instrument
provides for seven city wards instead
of five, with a councilman from each
ward the mayor shall be the respon-
sible executive head of the city govern
ment there shall be board of public
works, whose duties shall include those
of the street superintendent, building
inspector and plumbing inspector, and
who shall let contracts for all street
! improvements the police and fire de-
partments will be governed by com
missions of three men each; there shall
be also a library commission, school
board and a board of health.
1t was decided to submit an alterna-
tive proposition concerning the grant
ing of liquor licenses to hotels.
A final draft of the charter will have
been prepared by next Tuesday night
when it will be presented to the coun-
Gil. A number Of citizens seem to be
opposed to the charter on general
! grounds, but the sentiment of the ma
| iority is apparently in favor of its
| adoption. The board hope to be able
to submit it at an early cate to the
| legislature.

CUPlD'S AGENT?

BOSTON,, Nov. 30.-F. C. Kicker of
Council Bluffs, Iowa, wishes 1t distinct
ly understood that he was not in BoS-
ton as an agent for himself and seven
other young men of his town to see if
the charms of eight young Boston
women are all that have been said of
them.
Somebody out in Council Bluffs an
nounced through a news association
that such was Mr. Ricker's mission. Mr..
Kicker doesn't know who the perso mis-
that started the story. He would like
to find out.
This is the story: Eight young men
of Council Bluffs among them the
aforesaid Kicker, were said to have
been introduced to eight young Boston
women through a mutual friend, with
correspondence and photographs inter-
changing in quick succGsS N.
Being cautious like, the '~estern young
men decided that, before taking irrev-
ocable steps, they would make sure
that the young women were what they
appeared to be. They chose an ennis
sary, one Kicker by name. All this
is according to the story.
AT the hotel appeared Kicker. To
him came reporters. Kicker wasn't glad
to see them. He scowled when the
question was broached. He was really
wroth.
II don't see why the folks back west
are doing this" he said. II don't see
the joke"
"Then there are no eight Boston girls
as mentioned in the dispatches?"
NO" he said simply.
Then his wroth burst forth little
more and he shifted his cravat angrily
and prepared to end the interview.
"I have been here on business, per-
sonal business, and not connected In
any way with matrimonial affair
That's ALL" he said.
