Success With Winter Potatoes

That Irish potatoes make a pay
ing crop in the Brownsville coun-
try the year around has been de-
monstrated by John R. Box. the
enterprising young ranchman of
the Box Brothers ranch below
town. Mr.. Box raised last year
three crop, of potatoes on the same
ground, making a fair yield each
time, and, although he did not
plant for the market yet he is
satisfied from the results that he
could clear about SIS per acre on
a single crop. Raising Irish po-
tatoes in the late fall and winter is
something that very few truck
planters here have tried, and it is
interesting to learn of Mr.. Box s
success at this season. He is
gathering his third crop now and
preparing to replant the same land
in potatoes for the spring crop.

HUMAN SKELETON DUG UP
Probably Soldiers Bones Found Buried
in Box Near Las DeIicias.

Evidence of crime of which the
victim was doubtless a United
States soldier was discovered lately
in a yard adjoining Las Delicias in
this city, where a pit was being
dug, a box being found two feet
underground which contained the
skeleton of human body. 1t was
a rather small box, not more than
three feet long, and was much de-
cayed. On being opened and re-
vealing its gruesome contents,
Justice of the Peace Gavito was no.
tilted and went to hold an inquest.
There was nothing, however to give
a clue to the identity of the remains,
the clothing being entirely decayed,
excepting some brass buttons which
bore United States eagle. appar-
emily establishing the fact that the
bones were those of some hapless
United States soldier, who was
probably murdered many years
ago, his body being thrust into the
box and buried to conceal the
crime. Mr.. Gavito says it must
have been buried for thirty years
or more, perhaps even as long as
the Mexican war. The bones were
placed in another box and inferred
in the city cemetery.

Mr.. Purdy and party left Hous-

FALSE ENTRIES MADE.
Imprisoned Frisco Banker Said to
Have Confessed

San Francisco, Dec. 13.-J. Dalzell
Brown, the imprisoned manager of the
California Safe Deposit and Trust
company, has made confession to the
bank commission that fictitious entries
we're made in the books of the bank.
The confession came after Brown had
been subjected to a long sweating
process by Bank Commissioners Gar
ROUTE and Sherer Finally, when
Brown was cornered, he blUrted out,
"Yes, it's true; those entries do not
represent real transactions"
The entries which Brown has con-
fessed were false related to two items
each of 100000 which appeared as
assets of the bank. These items as
recorded on the books made it appear
that the California Safe Deposit and
Trust company had On deposit $780,
900 in each of the New York banks.
Brown maintained almost to the end
Of the interview with the commission.
ers that the entries represented gen.
uine assets, but when pressed further
FOR a complete explanation he broke
down and admitted the truth.

Washington, Dec. 13-The Demo
cratic national committee met at the
Arlington hotel and spent the greater
part of two hours in listening to
speakers favoring the cities of Chi
eago, Louisville, Denver and st. Paul
as the place for holding the next
Democratic national convention. Three
Or four speeches were made in favor
Of Denver and one each for the other
cities. Denver made a. pledge of $780,

convention, while Chicago offered
$4,000 and a convention hall and
Louisville 100000 and a convention
hall. st. Paul made no specific offer
At o'clock the committee adjourned

child said, with the air Of person

she could really and truly call her own.
She was that overworked individual.

TO AVOID PROSECUTION.
Hartman Will Abandon Control of
Southern Pacific.

Chicago, Dec. ia Tribune spe-
cial from Washington says:
Negotiations are under way between
the attorney general and E. III. Harri-
man looking to an agreement by which
the. Union Pacific will abandon all it's
direct control of the Southern Pacific,
in return for which the government
will agree not to prosecute E. H. Har-
riman for violation of the antitrust
law and Of the competitive clauses in
the interstate commerce law.
The negotiations have not actually
been concluded, but they have reached
a stage where it is believed an agree
ment will be entered into.
The Southern Pacific is to be organ
lied as a separate corporation and
the Union Pacific either will take over
the old Central Pacific line from Og-
den to San Francisco or else will op.
crate over it as a through line, as it
is permitted to do by law.
