A STABBING AFFRAY.
Felipe Castillo Received Two Knife
Wounds in the Body as the Gull
mination of a QUARREL Begun
Last Night.

Last Night.
Felipe Castillo, an employe of
Wise & Newman Grocery Company,
lies at his home in the northern part
of the city badly wounded and Juan
Rabago is looking through the bars
of the county jail. This is the result
of stabbing ARRAY which occurred
in the alley in the rear of DIR. L. F.
Layton's residence this morning
about eleven o'clock.
Castillo had just delivered some
groceries at DR.. Layton's residence.
His story is in effect that, as ne was
coming out of the yard he was as
sailed by three Mexicans, and that he
tried to protect himself by throwing
bricks and stones at them.
One of them caught him in the
back and held his arms and stabbed
him n the left breast and also in the
abdomen Juan Rabago is charged
with this act. The weapon used was
an ordinary pocket knife and made
ugly looking flesh wounds in both
instances.
AS soon as he was stabbed, Castillo
got away from his assailiants and re-
turned to Wise & Newman's, where
he fell down exhausted from the loss
of blood Dr. Layton was immediate
ly called and the wounded man was
taken to his home in the northern
part of the city, where the doctor
dressed the wounds.
Sheriff Cara happened to be in
that end of town where the stabbing
took place and saw Castillo bleeding
and asked him what had happened
to him. Castillo refused to say any
thing, only that he had received a
knife wound, but a Mexican who
claimed to know the assailiant told
the sheriff, and showed him where
Juan Rabago lived, which was op-
posite the Opera House. The sheriff
Immediately proceeded to the house
and found the man, who confessed to
the stabbing He was taken to the
county Jail where he will await the
developments of the wounded mans
condition, before an examining trial
will be held
Both parties are about 81 and %
years of age. This cutting ARRAY is
believed to be the elimination of a
quarrel begun last night in the north
ern part of town.

Quite a novel idea was carried out
Sunday in the way of basket" din
ner, at Lake Oso, where DR.. S. K.
Hallam of Brownsville had an
nounced that he would hold religious
services, all being requested to bring
lunch, so that no one need be de-
prived of hearing the sermon, by hav-
ing to cook dinner. Many invitations
were given to DR.. Hallam to return at
an early date.<
r. P. Boeye spent several days in
Corpus Christi last week.
A new cottage is being erected here
by Mr.. Collins of Beaumont. He ex-
poets to bring his family down in the
near future to reside at Donna.
The Donna Scrappers came back
from Llano Grande on the Fourth
with their colors in mourning, having
been defeated by the McAllen team.
Yet, despite this defeat and the drub-
ling which they suffered at the hands
of the Donna Girls last week, the
Scrappers are always ready for an
other fight.

4 WIND THAT BLEW
GOOD TO BROWNSVILLE.

Commenting upon the coming ses-
sion of the South Texas Gardeners
Association at the South Texas Gar
dens at Brownsville, the San Antonio
Express quotes the trite old proverb'
cts an ill wind that blows nobody
good" as a text for the following edi-
torial:
~After the negro soldiers that gar
risoned the fort at Brownsville had
disgraced themselves and brought re-
proach upon the uniform they wore
by shooting up the town at midnight
the entire garrison, exclusive of Off
GERS, was mustered out of the service
without honor and the fort aband-
oned as a military post
subsequently the dismantled fort
was converted into an experiment sta
ton to demonstrate the possibilities
of that section in the production Of
fruits and vegetables and for the
practical education of the people
along agricultural lines.
"Old Fort Brown is now an or
chard and garden in which citrus and
other fruits and a variety of semi
tropical plants are growing, besides
the truck that is specially adapted to
that soil and climate. This expert
mental orchard and garden will be a
valuable object lesson, perhaps, to the
South Texas gardeners who will hold
their annual convention in Browns
vile the latter part of this week
When the excursionists of the San
Antonio Business Mems Club were in
Brownsville few days ago they were
treated to some of the fine melons
grown in the Government enclosure
and were gratifed by the exhibition
of the great variety of plants and veg
etables illustrative of the agricultural
and horticultural possibilities of the
Lower Rio Grande Valley.
Development of the trucking and
fruit-growing industries in that part
of the country is yet in its infancy.
Marvellous results have already been
achieved, but the future holds prom
Use of still greater achievements. The
gardeners can be mutually helpful by
interchanging views and experiences
and by cooperating for the upbuild-
ing and promotion of their industries
as such as the one about to be held
always stimulate The more orchards
and gardens there are in that section
and the more highly developed the
better it will be for all concerned be-
cause it is much cheaper in the matter
of transportation to market by car
loads and trainloads than by express
shipments.
There need be no fear of overpro-
duction where there is iudicious mar
keting. The markets of the North
and East will readily absorb all the
early fruits and vegetables of South
west Texas which by reason of their
earlier appearance in market are
without competition from the out
side.

ing made by Miss Annis Jones and Ed

score of seventeen to four, and many
shouts of applause were given as the
blue ribbon of victory was pinned on
each girl.

Lincoln. Neb., July 1.-THE sup
port of organized labor, with about
three million votes, was pledged to
VIM. ]. Bryan in the coming presiden-
tial campaign by Samuel ]. Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor yesterday, when Mr.. Com
pers called on the nominee at his
home here. Even the arrival of the
vice presidential nominee, John w.
Kern, who came today, attracted less
attention that this event in political
circles here.
Frank Morrison, secretary of the
Federation, and James Duncan, anoth-
er labor leader, accompanied Mr..
Gompers when he had the interview
with Mr.. Bryan. The labor leader
congratulated the democratic nomi-
nee very heartily, and expressed the
satisfaction of the labor party at the
Denver platform.
The plank in relation to injunc-
tons in labor disputes was particular
ly pleasing to Mr.. Gompers and his
party, and he said it would cause the
labor vote to go very heavily for
Bryan.

With three big sugar mills planned
TO be in operation in this section by
the fall of next year, the planting of
cane should be looming up. The own
ers of the mills will make very liberal
inducements to land owners to supply
cane for planting, and the acreage of
sugar-cane should be very largely in
creased by next year. Beyond a doubt
sugar is the staple for the planters in
the lower Rio Grande valley.

CHICAGO, Nov. Wv. J. Bryan left
Chicago today for a tour through Kan
sas tomorrow. Tonight he expects to
reach Lincoln. Neb., where he will par
ticipate in a home demonstration. Mrs.
Bryan left the candidates special train
here and went direct to Lincoln. More
than a dozen boxes of flowers which
have been given her during the trip
through Indiana Saturday were taken
home by Mrs. Bryan.
Speaking of his delay in reaching
Chicago Saturday night. Bryan said:
The trip arranged for the day was
a long one with a large number OF
stops. The meetings were unexpect-
edly large and in some places the
speaking stands were fixed some dis
tance from the stations. We had to
ride slowly through the crowded
streets to reach the stands. Then
there were three changes from one
road to another. Finally our engine
broke down and the substitute engine
had to be turned around at the next
station and that caused a delay. /
never before had such a series OF de-
lays In the campaign.
II am very much pleased with the
reports I have had from Illinois. I
believe that the republicans OF this
state have an unpleasant surprise COM
ing when they read the returns from
the state on election day."

RAILROAD UP SNAKE
TO COAL DEPOSITS.

The announcement of the Idaho
Railway & Navigation company's
plans to construct a railroad up the
Snake river on the Idaho side has
aroused much interest, says the Lew
iston Teller. While it is generally
conceded the I. R. & n. is backed by
one of the big transportation lines,
several theories have been offered.
The most popular theory appears
to be the Chicago & Northwestern
connection. which would secure to
Lewiston a third railroad system, but
it has been suggested the /. r. G. N.
company is promotion of the Hill
roads and is being extended into the
Grand Ronde coal district for the
purpose of gaining control of the sup,
ply of coal of the inland empire.
This theory is supported by the
statement that during the exploita>
ton of the Grand Ronde coal district
an expert named Tate was sent into
that section by James ]. Hill and made
a most favorable report of the find
ings.
The list of the officers of the new
Incorporation includes the name of S.
l.. Tate, said to be the man whom J.
J. Hill sent to examine the coal de-
posits.
Reports received in the city today
from the Grand Ronde section are to
the effect that much development
work on the coal properties has been
carried on in a quiet way and that
large deposits Of fine coal have been
exposed

HOW THE TOWN OF LA

A few days ago the La Grande OBJ

The way La Grande received its
name was by calling mass meeting
for the purpose of naming the town.
1t had been called by the names Of
Brownsville, Brownstone, etc.
After the meeting was called to
order I was elected chairman, being
the first time 1 had ever held the
position. You can Judge how near
we came to following parliamentary
rules. Several names were suggested,
a man named Dorse-some kind of a
Frenchman-suggest the name Of
La Grande.
After some discussion a vote was
taken, la Grande" receiving the
highest number of votes. That Is
how the city received its name. I re-

be named La Grande, that word La

MORE ARMED GUARDS
FOR OVERLAND TRAINS.

Cheyenne, Aug. 24.-Taking warn
ing from the attempt to rob a North
ern Pacific railroad train, the Union
Pacific secret service guards under
direction of Chief Keiliher, have been
greatly increased, and all passenger
and mail trains will be more careful

1t is frequently noticed that efforts
to rob trains in one section Of the
country are followed by similar at
tempts elsewhere, and it is to offset
this contingency that the guards are
being increased
All of the guards are men Of cour-
age, accurate Workmanship and men
