It appears that Brown met the girl

she calls her husband. An acqualnt-

The girls insisted that the farmer
boy and his companion hire public
automobile, and negotiations were
being made with a negro chauffeur
when Captain Brown happened along
He urged the party to break up and
advised the girls to return TO their
homes but he was told shortly to
mind his own affairs.
They then entered a cafe and tried
to purchase drinks. but the manage
ment declined TO serve them.
About this time Captain Brown de-
cided that it would be better for
the young girls TO spend the night in
jail than to be hunting high balls IN
Ogden in company with two enterprIs
ing young men, and they were all
brought to the station
Each was given lecture. and all
three OF the Brighamites were locked
up. while the Ogden boy was released
when he explained that he had notn-
Ing to do with the outing, had sim
ply met the party on request, and
had even given them money to buy
return tickets.
When searched the leader OF the
quartet, the one who would hire an
automobile, produced a four-bit piece,

MAGOFFIN AVENUE PAVING.

Editor FL Paso Herald:
We have noticed several articles III
the newspapers concerning the paving OF
Magoffin avenue, and re desire to cor
rect the false impression under which
some very uncharitable persons seem to
be laboring. especially insofar as 1T re-
lates TO the Cotton addition and its rep
resentatives.
We notice an article written by one
r f Harris who evidently does not
know what he is talking about when he
speaks of Magoffin avenue being paved
and pushed through by the Cotton ad-
dition owners In the first place, the
Cotton addition people practically. had
nothing to do with the opening up of
Magoffin avenue any more than any
other street in the addition. number
of outside private property owners call
ed on us and asked us to assist in open
ing the street. and we stated that we
would 90 our part in that respect. The
different property owners subscribed
$500 in cash to help buy property at
the east end of the avenue, in order TO
open the street, and the Cotton addition
people donated $500 of that amount.
Now to the paving of Magoffin
have never asked anyone TO pay a cent
of the expense. not even the cross streets
and, while We did take it for granted
that the city would pave the cross
streets. as they seem to be doing in all
