 Saloon Held Up

The Monte Carlo saloon, owned by James Baca, was held up about midnight Wednesday and the till robbed of quite a sum of money, said to be about $16O. The work was done by one man, but it is thought that a confederate was on the outside to give warning should anyone approach.
 Shortly after midnight, while the night bartender, was lean- ing at one end of the bar, a masked man entered the back door with a drawn revolver call ing on the inmates to throw up their hands; the four or five loun- gers together with the bartender, promptly obeying the command. The robber proceeded to pocket the contents of the cash register after which he ordered the bar tender to give him q bottle of whiskey, which was promptly. provided. Making his way to- the rear of the building he at tempted to escape by the back door. Meanwhile those stand ing around the stove were hurry. ing out by the frontentrance and the bartender reached for the gun, firing two shots at the re- treating burglar, one of which it is thought took effect, while the other lodged m the back door. The rObber fired two shots in ,re, turn putting a bullltt through the bar, another in the floor, and then making his escape, firing several shots in the air after he had gotten outside, presumably to ward off possible followers.
 Marshall Bledsoe was prompt lv notified, but at this writing no arrests have been, made. A very poor; description of the "Hold-up" was given beyond the fact that he had a checkered coat, a blacksoft hat, and having about a weeks growth of beard.

THE SEWER QUESTION.

That Brownsville's most pressing
public need just now is a sewer sys-
TEN. about all of our citizens who
possess average intelligence seem to
be agreed. The question of ways
and means for obtaining this vitality
important improvement has been APP
parently difficult to solve, however,
and SO far no definite plan has been
arrived at. The presence in Browns
vile of an engineer who wishes 70
submit a plan for the construction of
a sewer system has again brought the
subject home to our people, and it
is quite probable that the present
agitation of the matter may result in
the early acquisition of the desired
improvement. AS most Herald read
ers know, this paper favors city own
ership of public utilities The city
could undoubtedly operate a sewer
age plant at less cost to the citizens
than could a private corporation.
lacking the means. however, The
Herald feels that the city should en-
deavof to have the system built by
private capital, with the understand
ing that the city shall have the right
10 acquire the plant as soon as con-
venient.
