Thought he Saw an Alligator.

A colored man in passing Hunting
creek. south of this city. yesterday
thought he saw an alligator when his
eyes beheld a dark object moving in the
water. A closer investigation revealed 1t
to be q colored woman named Eva Tay-
lor, twenty-three years old, who after
ward was brought to the station house
here. 1t is thought she is demented. The
woman's mother took charge of her this
morning.
Two fire alarms yesterday. one at $50
o'clock and the other at $50 O'Clock in
the afternoon, brought out the fire de-
partment. The blaze was not serious in
either case. Owing to the fact that the
city has no modern alarm system the
two fire engines went at first in opposite
directions.
Cheered by large throng who had
gathered on the wharf to see them of,
among them many women the fifty Alex

OF VALUE TO ARMY.
Patrol of Southern Border Develops
Self-Reliance Among Soldiers.

The patrol Of the southern border dur
ing the Mexican revolution afforded valu-
able practical instruction to the army, ac-
cording to the annual report Of Brig. Gen.
Joseph w. Duncan, commanding the De-
partment Of Texas. That duty, he said'
developed many ordinary soldiers into
strong. self-reliant men. capable of caring
for themselves and animals under extra
ordinary conditions of hardship.
Gen. Duncan comments upon the con-
slant changing of company and post Off
GERS as being detrimental to the content,
discipline and instruction of the soldier
Because of these frequent changes he
adds. the individual soldier Is not made
to feel the personality Of his company
commander, and unrest, discomfort and
the commission of minor offenses. and
even of desertion, Would be greatly de-
creased If officers were left with organi-
cations sufficiently long to become identi-
fed and interested in them. This condi-
tion of affairs can hardly be remedied
however, so long as the best officers of
the line are taken for duty elsewhere. and
the fate of companies left to the chang
ing personnel OF inexperienced subal-
terms"
