LOST MAN CLAIMS LAND.
Missing Ten Years, Austin Citihcn

Austin, Texas, April 25.--The re-
turn of 0. e. Bishop to Austin after
an absence of ten years and after
his wife had believed him to be dead,
was the cause OF trespass to try
title suit in Judge Calhoun's court
last evening. When Mr.. and Mrs.
Bishop lived as husband and wife
they owned a lot in Swisher's addi-
ton. Bishop disappeared, and to
support herself and minor children,
Mrs. Bishop sold the lot to c. A.
Brochsch, who has had possession
of the lot for several years.
Bishop reappeared few days ago
and claimed possession of the lot,
declaring that his wife had no right
to sell It without his consent.
Brochsch has filed a snit to test the
title to the property claiming that
when Bishop left the country he sur
rendered his right to his equity in

SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE.

The Americans who are now IAN
gushing in Mexican jails are not the
only ones who have discovered to
their own sorrow that the sport OF
being a soldier of fortune is not
what il is cracked up to be in Rich
ard Harding Davis novel. 1t APP
pears that young man who went
from the state of New York to Texas
for his health decided<that he would
find much pleasurable excitement as
an insurrecto, so he enlisted.
1t happened, however, that the
war chest of the patriotic revolu-
tionists was drained to the dust, ana
he was forced to provide himself
with his own material equipment,
consisting of a horse, rifle, blanket
and frying pan. Thus ACQUIRED for
the massacre of the hirelings of the
despotic Diaz he joined troop OF
merry daredevils who frequently as
sured him of their desire to die for
their native land, and of their pro-
found affections for Americans VINO
had joined them to remove the heel
of the cruel despot from the neck OF
their sweet Mexico.
The troop to which the adventu-
rous American was assigned was
given scout duty in territory three
hundred miles away from the enc
my. The general in command
thought that the cause of liberty
would be best served by sending the
bold scouts where there would be
no danger of them meeting the reg
ular soldiers, and it appears that
the patriots eager to die for Mexico
agreed with him.
The scouts lived off the country
which means that they stole every
thing of value they could lay their
hands on. One night the Mexican
comrades of the American soldier of
fortune left him sleeping in the
light of the moon and took with them
his horse, rifle and camp equip
ment upon which he had spent all
his money. He had to walk hun
dred miles to get to the American
side of the border begging food
along the way. When he reached
Texas he wrote to the folks at home
saying that war, with thieving Mex
leans as comrades in arms, had no
charms for him, and expressing his
belief that he could make living
uning pianos in Ell Paso.-New Or
cans States.

TELEPHONES ON THE KATY.
Work Rapidly Progressing from Dali
las Soufb TO Smitlyille.

IHN Stutfl W
The work of installation of the
phones along the lines of the Mis-
souri,. Kansas and Texas railroad, to
be used in the dispatching of trains,
is progressing rapidly, and effort
will be made to have the equipment
placed and in operation by July 10.
This is quite an innovation so far
as the larger lines in Texas are con-
eerned, and undoubtedly railroad
men will watch the workings with
considerable interest.
The Katy is installing telephones
along it's lines in Texas as far south
as San Antonio on the Southwestern
branch and as far as Smithville on
the Houston and Galveston line. 1t
is understood that the extension oil
the service to Houston is contem-
Mated at some later time TWO
heavy copper wires are being strung
along the lines, under the direction
of Superintendent Hall of the tele-
| graph department of the Katy, ana
the work will be completed within
| the next four months, according to
| announcement.
| Telephones are to be installed at
| every station and at every siding
| the plan being to place one at every
possible point where trains may
meet. 1t is believed that this Will
| obviate much of the delay that Is
necessary incident to telegraph DIS
patching and that it will make Tor
| considerably improved service, both
on passenger and freight schedules.
The telephone service will not re-
place the telegraph lines, but viii
| relieve the latter of much work and
| will be in the nature of an auxiliary
to them in dispatching trains. The
work of installing this service is
now we'll under way and is progress
ing rapidly.
| The system of handling trains by
| telephone dispatches does not differ
| from the present method in any par
| ticular save that the messages are
| sent by telephone instead of tele-
graph. Al messages received are
recorded, just as at present. The
chief dispatcher's office acts in the
going through it. Practically 500
miles of track will be operated un-
der the telephone system.
While the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas is the first large road in Tex
as to adopt the telephone for its
dispatching, large lines in other sec
tons of the country have adopted
it with much success, it is stated.
The Union Pacific has used tele-
phones for dispatching trains for
several years and is said to be sat
isfied with it's workings. The sys-
tenn is not entirely new in Texas, in
asmuch as some of the smaller lines
have used it Among these are the
Wichita Falls and Southern railway
! and the Abilene and Southern. The
\ Katy is, however, the Brst OF the
\ larger roads in Texas to adopt II
and the results of its operation Oh

ARMED MEN REMOVE
SWITCH FROM PARK.
Masked Men Tear Up ObJecuonaDle
Track at Midnight in Spite
of the Police.

Seymour, Ind, April pa BODY
of masked men, armed with shot-
guns. revolvers and clubs, in addi-
ton to their tools, made midnight
raid on 500 feet of switch track laid
across the park here and by O'Clock
had torn it completely out. AS a re-
suit the Seymour Manufacturing Co..
which has been here 40 years and
has many employees, threatens TO
leave.

the tracks of the Indiana Railway
Co. The manufacturing company

Evidently. the mob which tore up
the switch was well organized, for 1t
posted pickets on all sides, and these
were to give notice of the approach
of police or others who sought TO
stop the work
The factory Waterman gave the
alarm over the telephone after being
prevented from sounding the whistle
and the fire department and several
hundred citizens responded, but were
unable to stop the tearing up OF the
