DESPITE PARENTS
Course of True Love Never Does Run

Brfgido Nieto, young Mexican,
didn't let the objections of the par

terrnined to marry pretty Paula
MARKETABLE. He induced the girl to
run away with him last night.
This morning Brfgido was arrested
upon complaint of the irate parents,
bat when he told his story of love
to the justice he was allowed to
leave with his sweetheart and the
two were married later.
The young lovers lived about two
miles from this city. They grew up
within sight of each other, so the
story goes, and Brfgido was often
Paula escort to dances and festas
in the neighborhood. Quite fire.
quently, when the chaperon was
not looking, he whispered in her
ear.
A day or so ago Brfgido went to
the home of his sweetheart par
ents and asked them 20 let Paula
become his wife They refused, it
is said, and Brfgido determined to
have Paula whether or no. So the
two came into Brownsville last
night. This morning Brfgido was
arrested and taken before Justice
Gavito. There he told his story in
full. The justice was not hard
hearted at all. He discharged Brf-
gido, and the happy sequel follow

FIRE THREATENED DE QUEEN.
Building in Heart of Business District
 Burned Down.

Parties up from De Queen Mon- day report the destruction by fire of a frame store building, which occurred Friday night at 9 o'clock. The building was known as the Carber meat market and was situated between good brick store buildings in the main busi- ness district of the town. For a short time 1t looked as though the flames were going to spread to the other buildings, but by hard work of the citizens the fire was held Tn check and little dam age was done to the adjoining buildings.
 It is thought that the building was set on fire. The building was covered by insurance, but as to the amount it could not be learned.
