CHIEF OF POLICE

In the recorders court this morn
ing, Antonio Hernandez was fined the
customary one dollar and cost for
being intoxicated and using abusive
and sulphurous language last night
at the home of another Mexican re-

man who claimed to have been as

nandez accompanied by his spouse,
had come to the compliments house
and without any cause proceeded TO
abuse his family.
Chief Crixell informed the man
that he could not make an arrest un-
less a formal complaint was made,
whereupon the plaintiff asked the
chief to go with him to restaurant

ARE WORTH ONE CENT APIECE.
Seeds of the Ginseng Command That
Price and They Are Scarce
at That.

Ginseng seeds are worth one cent
apiece or from eighty to one hundred
dollars a pound Dried root is worth
1928 a pound
When first growing from the seed
the ginseng plants have two forks or
stalks and one leaf on each stalk.
The second year it adds another leaf
on each part and the third year the
plant grows in three parts with three
leaves on each part and this year a
seed ball forms
This grows direct from the main
stalk of the plant and from four to
five inches above the foliage. The aV-
erage plant, says a writer in Outing,
produces from fifty to sixty seeds, and
sometimes goes as high as 100 seeds.
Wild plants yield better than cult
waited
The fourth and fifth years one leaf
is added to each stalk. The fifth year
the plant is full grown, having three
forks and five leaves to each stalk. Il
grows from one to two feet in height;
sometimes as high as q inches. The
leaves are broad and fat, about four
inches long and two inches wide when
full grown, with escalloped edges.
1t takes five years to grow the root
from seed for market and IS months
to terminate the seed for growth.
There is more cultivated root now on
the market than wild The plants are
found on high, dry land in the woods
and never in swampy places.

Capt. Garrison McCaskey. U.S.A.. Re-
news Old Acquaintance Here

Capt Garrison McCaskey, U.S.A.,
has been spending several days in
Brownsville, renewing old acqualnt-
ances made many years ago, when as
a boy, he lived four years at Fort
Brown wit hhis father. then a cap
tain, now Major-General McCaskey,
retired Captain McCaskey has Wis
tied Brownsville several times since
he donned his officers shoulder
straps in Uncle Sans service, and
has a number of old friends here
who are always glad to see him He
is now on sick leave, having been in
the hospital at Hot Springs for some
time, and will return to that place
for a while longer before returning
to duty at Fort Douglas, where his
command now is.
Capt McCaskey was here last sew
eral years ago, when he was an at
tendant at the wedding of Capt. Kill
burn and Miss Childress. He finds
Brownsville wonderfully improved
since then, and predicts very bright
future for the town.
Asked whether Fort Brown was
likely to be Tegarrisoned, the captain
said he thought it probably would be,
as Brownsville is one of the most i'm
portant points on the Mexican border
and promises to become much more
important even than it is now Cap
tain McCaskey expects TO leave to-
morrow.

ness than a real one. He is serving
his third and last term as attorney

We have no objection to the prin-

THAT SWIFT
ARMSTRONG CAR
BEAT THE BRANCH TRAIN IN
THREE RACES YESTERDAY.
Conductor Richardson the Loser
Emmett McGary Declares the Car
Beat a Telegram From Donna
and San Juan by Several Laps

\ sensational series of races be
tween an automobile belnOging to
Chas NJ. Armstrong and a train on
the branch line furnished quite a
bit of diversion for the passengers
on the train yesterday afternoon.
The race course lay between Donna
and San Juan Junction. The auto
mobile was the winner each time
be some several hundred yards. Mr.
Armstrong, accompanied by E A
McGary, left here yesterday morning
in the formers automobile for
trip up the road. They came into
Donna while the branch train was
at the station and it was there that
Mr. Armstrong warned Conductor
Richardson that he intended to beat
the train into San Juan, which
brought a smile to the genial cOun-
tenance of the conductor
Train and auto pulled out Of the
station together but, in order to al
low the train to gain Roadway, Mr.
Armstrong slowed up his auto, al
lowing the train to pass him for
considerable distance When the
passengers on the train saw the auto
gradually falling behind, they be-
gan to shout and boot at the occu-
pants Of the car. yelling; why
don't you catch up?' But Charlie
only smiled in reply.
After allowing the train to reach
its usual speed, Mr. Armstrong
turned on the juice and let his car
go, and in a very few minutes the
passengers on the train beheld the
auto rapidly forging ahead of the
fast moving train. \ few moments
more, and the car was far ahead
Of the train, leaving only a cloud
of dust visible to the watchers. Mr..
Armstrong then slowed down and
allowed the train to pass him again,
then repeating the performance of
beating them,
Three times this occurred between
the two stations, the car beating the
train easily each time. and when the
train pulled into San Juan, the &C
cupants of the car had nearly fin
ished eating a sumptuOus dinner in
the San Juan hotel.
Mr.. McGary further AYERS that,
lust as the auto was leaving Donna,
the operator was sending a telegraph
message to the operator at San Juan
and that the utOmObile reached San
Juan just a sthe operator at that sta
ton and by the time he had fin
ished receiving the message, he
and Mr.. Armstrong had lett
the car IN front of the hotel
and were seated at the table in the
dining room. Gee, but that was
going some.
