mystery of the fate Of the long over

by tho finding of number of lifebelts
at Cape Ray bearing the name rs. $.
Stanley" The belts drifted ashore with
similar ones marked 800 City," and
this circumstance has led to the theory
that the lake boat may have been sunk
IN collision 1t is considered possible
that the lifebelts marked IS. S. STAN

time by the owners of the 500 City
when she was carrying excursionists

Last week one of our enterpiis-
ing young land dealers, Embry
Owen, in company with Mr.. Low
cry, a student in the Mississippi
University, took a pleasant drive
to the mouth of the Rio Grande
river on a pleasure and hunting
trip and also to look over that Sec
ton of the country. On their trip
they saw a number of things to in.
terest them and cause them to re-
member this voyage in their older
days. Among the most interesting
sights which they saw, or rather
which they found, was the lower
jaw of a giant human being who
evidently lived here during the
pre- historic days of this country.
As Mr.. Lowery is a medical stu
dent at the above mentioned insti-
tuition he took this relic of ancient
days with him to show to his COL
leagues. The jaw bone was found
near the mouth of the Rio Grande
river. They reported also that they
had great sport in shooting the big
sword fish when they came out Oh
the banks to bask in the sunshine.
Mr.. Owen has one OF these swords
and intends to keep it as relic of
this days outing.

The young Mexican woman who
attempted to ignite fire yester-
day morning with coal oil died
from the effect of her burns about
FIVE hours afterwards. This news
was not received yesterday in time
for the printers to handle it. The
remains were buried this morning
in the city cemetery under the aus
pices of the Catholic church.
Quite a commotion was created
this morning in the neighborhood
of the ferry, about six O'Clock,
when the report as if several guns
were being discharged at one time
was heard. Nothing further could
be learned only that the shooting
took place at Santa Cruz, Mexico,
Just across the ferry. 1t is suppos-
ed that Mexican was drunk and
was only emptying his sixshooter.
The base ball fans are anxious
now, since that they have organic
ed a team, to form a league be
tween the various teams in this
section. In this list are Lyford,
Raymondville, Mercedes, Kings
vile. Harrington, Corpus Christi,
San Benito and Brownsville. This
would make an ideal league and
give the baseball fans a number of
interesting games to see, as all of
these towns have plenty of good
material for diamond work.

Mean Joke of Doctor.

The celebrated French physician,

boulevards in Paris, when he met an
old gentleman who was very rich, but
who was at the same time noted for
his extreme stinginess. The old man,
who was somewhat of a hypochondr!-

medical advice from Ricord without
paying for 1t. Doctor, am feeling
very poorly" Where do you suffer
most?" In my stomach, doctor" All,
that's bad. Please shut your eyes.
That's right Now put out your tongue,
so that / can examine it closely" The

had waited patiently for about ten
minutes, he opened his eyes, and found
himself surrounded by a crowd, who
supposed that he was crazy. Dr. Rio
ord, In the meantime, had disappeared.
