ELK CREATES HAVOC IN A STORE
hhg Of the Anlered Tribe Wrecks a
Stock Of Goods.

San Antonio, Texas, May Con
siderable excitement was created in
San Antonio yesterday by the ap-
pearance on one of the principle
streets of big elk whose spreading
antlers made him look very formid-
able. He trotted along unconcerned-
ly until reaching a corner grocery
store whose tempting display of Tex
as grown vegetables looked good to
him. His Elkship was making a
hearty meal at the grocer's expense
when the owner of the vegeta bles
came out with broom to drive
him away. The king of the antlered
tribe got mixed up with crates of
beans, lettuce and tomatoes and
came near wrecking the store At
this interesting juncture mounted
Policeman Norm and Phillips ap-
peared on the scene, unslung their
lariats and roped the elk in true
cowboy style.
The job of getting him back to
his home in Breckenridge Park,
where the rest of his family are kept
in great corral, was a strenuous
one that made sport for a big crowd
of spectators. The noble elk was fin
ally landed safe in the park without
injury but grocers in that neighbor-
hood still keeps sharp eye on their
vegetables

\ LARGE VOTE IS INDICATED
Many Voters Flocked to Polls Soon
After They Were Opened.

Judging from the rush made to
the polls soon after they opened this
morning a large vote will be polled
in today's primary election for choos-
ing delegates at large to the national
democratic convention which meets
in Denver July I. Very few farmers
came in during the forenoon and the
voting was confined mostly to the
city, and at ] O'Clock SIS ballots
had been cast in the four precincts.
1t is estimated that in the neighbor-
hood of 1900 votes will be cast dur
ing the day.
The election so far has been en-
tirely free from any kind of disturb
ance.
At 2:30 precinct conventions were
held for the purpose of electing
delegates to the county convention
which meets in WaXahachie next
Tuesday afternoon.
No reports have been heard from
country boxes but the chances are
that the vote of the county will be
somewhere near 1000.

recognizable. He had constructed in
the first room a transmitter with a
needle point passing over a picture
prepared on a glass plate from a

The needle continually vibrated
over the plate. According to the
roughness or smothness of the sur

were accurately recorded by the

These waves in turn were caught
by another receiving plate in the ad-

IN THE SOUTH
The Recent Events in Guatemala
Have Aroused Neighbor-

THE SITUATION IS GRAVE
Reported that Honduras Is Concen-
trating Her Forces on Guatama-
Ian Frontier Butcher
Cruel and Unjust

Panama, May 2.-It is reported
that Honduras is concentrating her
forces on the Guatemalan frontier.
Passengers who have arrived here
recently from Guatemala say that
revolution was being planned
against the Honduras government by
General Domingo Vasquez, ex-presi-
dent of Honduras, who is supposed
to have the support of Guatemala.
This, they say. was the reason why
Senior Bustillos. finance minister of
Honduras, was sent on special con-
fidential mission to President Ca
brera of Guatemala and why Cabrera
instead of treating with Bustillos,
practically imprisoned him in Guate-
mala City
After the late war with Nicara
qua. Honduras was left entirely dis
armed and should the reports of
Honduran military movements prove
true, it is supposed that Nicaraguahs
and Salyadorahs have furnished her
with munitions of war.
The situation III Guatemala is re-
ported to be exceedingly critical The
passengers say that among the per-
sons reported to have been executed
there were Mrs. Castenado and Mrs
Blanco and Messrs. Herrera, Trig-
uez Enwardo Rubio and Antio Ru-
bio, all of whom belonged to promi-
nent and wealthy families.
During the past year all these
persons had been incommunicado i'll
the dungeon of the prison in Guate-
mala City and the passengers say
that it was impossible for them to
have participated in the recent az
tempt on the life of President -
brera. They add that the executes .
are considered cruel and unneces-
sary and that the relatives of these
persons put to death who are rich
and powerful will not rest until
they have succeeded in bringing
about the downfall of Cabrera
