Return to Alma Mater sisnaIized by
Enthusiastic Welcome.

When the football squad of A. & NJ.
college reached College Station Sun
day afternoon at o'clock the entire
cadet corps, with the band, gathered
at the station to give welcome TO
the victors. The game with Auburn,
resulting as it did in a complete vic
tory for the Texas institution, aroused
all the enthusiasm that was in every
student, and the boys wanted to show
their appreciation of the men who had
borne the brunt of the fight.
Some of the players were carried
on the shoulders of their fellow s,u
dents, while others were bundled into
a wagon drawn by hundreds of will
ing hands, and a march to the main
building followed. There were speech
es by the players and the coaches
there were yells and music by the
band. The ovation continued for more
than an hour. 1t was great victory

STOLE CLOTHING.

On Saturday night, while o. DOrseys
delivery wagon was delivering some
clothes, a suit and vest were stolen
from the wagon. The wagon was in
charge of Johnnie Davis, who was as
sisted by CASTOR DelIsle. The theft
occurred on the corner of Bouny and
Alix streets. 1t seems that while the
colored driver, Davis, was delivering
a suit in one of the residences in that
vicinity, a crowd of boys engaged in
a conversation with young Derlsle to
detract his attention from the rear OF
the wagon, and it was during this time
that the theft was made. The suit
of clothes, which was valued at $40,
belonged to Philip Hahn, while the
vest, valued at Sc, belonged to George
Hahn. AS soon as Dorsey found
that the goods were stolen he at
once paid the S26 to the owners Of the
clothes. The police were notified but
as yet no clue has been found to iden-
tify the miscreant.
