LINING UP FOR
G7REET PAVING
CFrom Mondays Daily

(From Mondays Daily.)
In quiet way move is now
starting for the paving of Polk
street and from the support the
proposition Is already receiving 1t
seems likely that this much needed
Improvement will be made this fall,
The. plan for paving has not yet
taken definite form and the kind of
paving has not been generally dis
cussed.
Under the ordinance granting the
street railway franchise, the street
railway company is to pave between
its tracks and for two feet on either
side whenever the city paves the
strets through which its lines run.
One OF the plans proposed for paw
ing provides that the city shall pay
for the paving of one third OF the
streets through which its lines run.
the property owners on each side
will pave the other two thirds. The
city paves the street crossings so
that its share Is made considerably
larger. on Polk street where the
first paving is planned, the street
railway company would pave a good
part of the city's share all along.
Cost Of street paving in Amarillo
may be higher than In most cities
from which figures are available but
the cost in any event viii be small
In comparison with the service rem
dered. At El Paso bitulithic pave
ment, which is considered most IA
vorably by those who have express
ed themselves here, costs $l.S7 a
yard. At FL Paso rock suitable for
paving is found at short distance
from the city and freight charges on
that part OF the pavement are COM
paratively small. 1t is possible that
rock of a suitable variety could be
found near Amarillo and the cost
similarly reduced. Brick pavement,
which has the greatest durability OF
any pavement and which can be re-
paired without the expense of keep
ing big plant as is the case with
other kinds. was figured last year

FATHER CALLED
WITH A BRICK
tFrom Fridays Dally)

In an endeavor to find out who is
tho rightIul defendant and who is
the prosecuting witness. Justice of
the Peace Holman is holding court
this afternoon and looking into the
domestic difficulty that occurred ON
West Third street Wednesday even
ing.
Edmondson, the father-in-law, &C
cording to all reports has never APP
proved OF his son-in law Palmer, and
for that reason, Palmer and his wife
moved here from Oklahoma. The
father wrote letters to the daughter
In which he made serious threats
against his son-in-low and finally he
he came here to visit his daughter.
He wished II emphatically understood
however that the son-jn-law should
be within hearing distance during
the call. SO Wednesday afternoon
when hs went to the house on West
Third street he sent a young man
named Clarence orumbey into the
house TO tell the daughter of his
presence and to warn the son-in-law
to get far away from the house and
help preserve peace in the family.
Then a, little later the father-in-
law, inadvertently carrying a brick,
entered the house to talk to his
daughter. The husband, who re-
turned about the same time, SHE'D at
the brick in his guests hands and
in his temporary excitement he
grabbed a Ratchet. Before the dif.
ficulty was over both had used the
Ratchet TO a certain extent and now
each believes that he has grounds
for filing a complaint against the

SHOT COYOTE
ON TAYLOR STREET
CFrom Tuesdays Daily)


A few people In Amarillo can re-
member when the sharp and discord-
ant yip-yapping Of coyotes was a
nightly occurrence TOO common for
comment here but It is not likely
that any Of them or anyone else will
soon repeat the performance OF G.
M Ledford, who shot coyote on
Tyler street Saturday morning.
On account OF sickness, Mr.. Led
ford, who lives on the corner Of
Sixth and Tyler, got up. some time
after midnight Friday night to come
up town to a RESTAURANT for some
hot coffee. When he stepped out
OF the house he caught sight OF a full
grown coyote Just outside the yard
fence playing with ayoung bird dog,
AS soon as he found out what the
animal was he went back into the
house for gun, When he returned
the wolf was still just outside the
yard and in the moonlight was in
full view. Mr.. Ledford fired once
and missed and then shot again and
missed. He was shielded at the time
by a shadow and the wolf simply
ran out into the street and lay down
Then Ledford fired again and the
wolf jumped up, ran down the street
and he saw 1t crawl under the Eakle
barn.
Mr.. Ledford then went down town
and as he came back he discovered
the coyote again, This time also
the wolf took refuge under the barn.
Then Air. Ledford crawled into
wagon near the entrance to the
VOLTS home and waited. In about
half an hour the coyote again APP
peared and this time, taking more
careful aim, Ledford brought the
coyote down with a bullet through
the heart.
The fat carcass OF the marauder
showed plainly the rich fare he had
been stealing from west side poultry
yards. For months housewives in
the west part of town have been
missing chickens and several poul-
try owners have been especially
heavy losers. only few times has
the wolf been seen and then II was
hard TO tell whether the object was
actually a coyote or simply a dog.
How the coyote chanSed into town
and made his home here no one has
yet explained. II is hardly likely
that grown, wild coyote would vol
unfairly take up its habitation in
the town and It Is probable that the
wolf is one that escaped when a
whelp from someone In town and
which has grown up as city wolf.

NEW BREWERY IS
 PLANNED FOR TUCSON

TUCSON, Aug. S.-With the object of erecting brewery thereon, to cost not less than $50,0O0, Henry Till seeks to secure four lots from the city be. tween Stone and 7th avenues.
 Mir. Till appeared before the City Council and submitted his proposition for the purchase of the lots to the city fathers, but final action will not be taken until tonight.
 The minimum purchase price of the four lots is two thousand dollars and Mir. Till has purchased other property in the same vicinity at cost of three thousand dollars. It is his intention to fill in that portion of the property through which the arroyo passes. A 6xS culvert will be put in to carry away flood water Various other i'm provements will be made, so that be- lore the construction work on the brewery is started. the lots will have cost about s10,000.
 Associated with MT. Till in the en- terprise are California parties who not only have the money to back the business but also the experience re- quired to make 1t a success.
 Work will begin on the various buildings as soon as the deal for the lots is satisfactorily arranged and Mir. Till expects to have the brewery run ming before next summer. The ca pacity will be seventy-fiye barrels a day

YOUNG MEN TAKE | HOLD OF 0LD MINE
MeSSrS, Howe and DeS SauIleS
 Think They Have a Good Thing,

Allie Howe, of Tombstone was in the city yesterday and in conversation with reporter, told of a mining en- terprise in which he and Albert De Saulles. of this city, are interested. The party have a complete camp ing and working outfit on the ground and are proceeding at once with the production of ere. The property is sit uated not far from Tombstone, and was worked years ago as a silver proposition but later abandoned. The present owners relocated it and while willing to make use of any silver that shows up, are looking to the produc- tion of copper for their income. There is much high grade copper ore on the dump and the boys think there is plenty more' where that came from.
 The worst trouble before them now is transportation of the ore to the railroad, part of the way being so rough and broken that burros will have to be used.
 The many friends of the young men wish them all success in their new enterprise, and hope they will realize sufficient to buy a great biz news paper and run it just according to their own ideas.

NO COMBINE IN
 TELEGRAPH BUSINESS

c. A. Sherr, manager of the Postal Telegram company here, denies most emphaticsliy he report that the West ern Union and Postal have merged. He lays the report to the Western Unlor-the compcny that would bene- fit from such story.
 T am assured by the New York of ficials of the Postal .Telegraph-Cable company there is no agreement what soever between the two companies, and the Postal company is a,, liberty at any time to reduce any or III of it's rates without violating any les.H l or moral agreement or understanding with the Western Union Telegraph company, and further the New York officials of my company state that they are prepared to substaDtiate that statement by sworn statements when necessity therefor arises" said Mir. Sherr
 ''The mere fact that the two com panies have the same rate does not prove that there is any agreement as to rates. It is a matter of course that the rates are the same other wise the company that charged the higher rate wouId get no business at all. That is the reason why compet- ing trunk line railroads charge the same rates. A cut by one would be followed by a cut by the other, then there would be a war of rates and finally the rates would be the same.
 When we entered the telegraph field in 1884. we made a great reduc- tion in rates and have continued the reduced rate until this year notwith- standing the fact that the telephone companies have cut in on the tele- graph business, and the telegraph business has had to pay increased rents, Increased taxes, increased cost of material. We give better service than we ever did before, but it costs more money to give 1t.
 The proceedings by the attorney general of New York in the suit against the two companies, will re suit in clearing the Postal company of the charge brought against 1t, but in the meantime I know that our frineds and patrons among your read CTS will be glad to have this assur- ance. We have no rate agreement and are competing harder than ever before"
