ALLEGED WRECKERS
ARE ACQUITTED
Mexicans Arrested After the
Aragon Wreck Found
Not Guilty at Maria.

Maria, Tex, Jan. 2S--Basilio Esquiv-
el, Francisco Adame Tiburcio Es-
quivel and Pantaleon Ramos suspected
of having attempted to wreck a G. H. &
s. A passenger train at Aragon last
July, were acquitted by a jury in the
district court here at $50 last night.
Westbound passenger train No. 292
was wrecked at Aragon, a few miles
west Of Maria, on the night of July
II, 1909.
The wreck was supposed to have been
caused by train wreckers prying up a
switch bar, in such a manner that the
switch split when the heavy engine
struck it, but evidence introduced at
the trial seemed to contradict this
theory, as the same trouble had oc-

previous to the night of the wreck.

were arrested on suspicion and had
been in the jails at Ell Paso and Maria
ever since, pending trial.
The case was called Tuesday. Dis
trict attorney Geo. NJ. Thurmond, Of
Del Rio, assisted by John l. Dyer of
Ell Paso, conducted the prosecution.
The defence was conducted by r. H.
Hays and j. A. Gillette, attorneys OF
Maria.
One of the features of the trial was
a miniature railroad constructed in the
courthouse, by which the state sought
to produce evidence showing that the
wreck was due to malicious intent or
robbery.

was hauling the wrecked train. figured

1900 books to his credit, in all Of which
he had some share: According to Mr..
Arthur F. Davidson, one Of his biog

once he had mapped out in his mind
the scheme Of novel or play the
work was practically accomplished.
since the mere writing Of it presented
no difficulty and could be performed as
fast as the pen could travel. Some one
DISPUTED this: the result was wager.
Dumas had in his head the plan OF
the "Chevalier de la Maison Rouge"
Of which he had not yet written
word, and he made bet Of 100 louis
that he would write the first volume OF
the novel in seventy-two hours. The

HE ASKED THE TIME.
A Question and Answer That Changed
Clerks Position.

Clerks Position.
How many clerks measure up to the
standard of the young bookkeeper in
this story from Human Life? He was
employed in the passenger department
of great railroad. 1t was just little
before lunch. Some Of the clerks were
putting on their coats. some leaving
for the Mushroom, some consulting the
clock; some were still busy. Suddenly
the boss" entered. He glanced about
him and then approached the young
bookkeeper.
What time is it, he asked.
The young man kept on figuring, and
the boss put hand on his desk and
repeated the question.
Instantly the other looked up, sur
prised to see the chief at his elbow.
81 beg your pardon, were you speak
ing to me?" he asked.
"Alerely inquired the time that was
ALL" said the other.
"The bookkeeper glanced about the
room, located the Office clock and said.
"It's ten minutes to r."
"Thank you" said the general man.
ager and vice president, and strolled
out
That conversation cost the young
bookkeeper his place-in the passenger
department-and put him under a
higher officer con the firing line" Nine
years later he was assistant general
manager. and while still in the thir-
ties became general manager, full
