A telegram was received by Sheriff
Esser Wednesday from Marshal H.
R. Logue of Lander, Wyoming. stating
that H. S. McNulty had been arrested
ther and would be held until the ar
rival o fan officer there to bring him
back to this city to answer the charge
of embezzlement, preferred against
him by the United States Reduction
& Smelling company.
McNulty, it will be remembered, left
here about four weeks ago, ostensibly
for Colorado Springs, promising to
return the following day. Very shortly
afterwards a warrant was issued for
his arrest, but not until Tuesday was
he located, although several times
the officers were close upon him
For nearly two years McNulty oc-
cupied a position as bookkeeper in
the ofice of the United States smelter
and his peculations are believed to
have extended over a considerable
period. Just how much his embezzle-
ment amounts to has not been made
public, but is understood to be a thou
sand or twelve hundred dollars, per-
haps more. In addition to the trouble
McNulty has gotten into with the
smelter people he is accused Of hav-
ing obtained credit with various mer-
chants and tradesmen about town by
false repres ssntations. which alone will
send him to prison If prosecuted for
1t. 1t is said that McNulty's debts in
Canon City aggregate several hundred
dollars and that his creditors are dis
posed to give him the punishment he
has invited by his dishonest actions.
Undersheriff John Chetelat left this
afternoon for Lander and will bring
McNulty here for preliminary hear
ing. Formal rial of the case will not
take place until the November term
of the district court.

TRUCKING AT SANTA MARIA.
Crops FIOurishing and Daily Shipments
Going Out-Immense Crop in Sight

Some idea of the development in
truck growing in the vicinity of
Santa Maria, some twenty-five
miles above Brownsville, is gained
by the report of Walter Mcneil,
secretary and manager of the Santa
Maria Irrigation company, who is
in town today. Mr.. MCNEIL in.
forms THE HERALD that his place
is in fine condition, with about 100
acres in onions, so in cabbage, IS
in cucumbers, so in. beans, 40 III
potatoes. and 20 in cauliaower.
Large shipments of cauliffower
beans and cabbage are now going
out daily from this farm, and a fine
crop-of lettuce which is just be-
ginning to mature will soon be
added to the truck shipments.
These garden delicacies going to
market in mid-winter bring fancy
prices, and make the enterprising
truck grower glad that he has cast
his lot in the lower Rio Grande
valley.
! S. A. McHenry, another Santa
Maria truck grower who is now liz
town, also reports things houIishing
at his place. Mr.. McHenry is
authority for the statement that
there will be the greatest yield of
truck stuff shipped out from Santa
Maria within the next few months
that has ever gone out of the lower
Rio Grande valley.

KNOWS HOW TO WIN
MAN FROM CARD GAME

The medal for the best way to get a
man from a little poker game has been
placed 1t adorns the bosom of pretty
little woman who is staying with her
better half at the Alexandria hotel.
And several men were walking around
the foyer yesterday looking sheepish,
and wondering how badly they had been
stung. But the story is thus:
Saturday night the fortunate spouse
of the lady in question hied him to a
congenial little group Of his fellows and
proceeded to while away the hours in
the ancient and honorable game of
poker. The hour grew late, and then
it began to grow early, but the man
came not.
In the meanwhile his wife waited
anxiously to give the welcoming hand
to her lord when he should eventually
arrive But still he didn't come.
Finally she grew desperate. Her eye
lit first upon the handsome princess
gown she wore, and then on the tele-
phone in her apartment. The two
looked good to her. She called up the
room where the little game was in
progress, and in anxious tones en-
treated her husband to come down and
help her-unbutton her gown!
He came, he helped, she conquered.
And the game that knew him once
knew him no more.
