RIVER Is EATING

CITY of Ell Paso Has Men
Protecting Sewer Out
let on This Side.

Slowly but surely the Rio Grande
is eating into the Mexican bank oD-
posite Washington park and cutting
away the bank. Trees and shrubs are
being to~a lrose ana carried along on
the swift current 60 point many
miles below
on the American side the city OF
FL PasO has a force of 10 men at work
protecting its property and preventing
the water eucroachtng on IT'S land ano
rendering useless the sewer outlet
there
For more than two weeks the city
has been doing this work and the eX-
pense, which is about $500 per week
has been well worth the while from
present indications, Last year the
water came up above the sewer outlet
and backed up through the pipe so
that the discharge Of sewage was ser
iOusly affected.
This year the disposal plant has been
put out OF commission Tor FOUR weeks
and the old pump has had to be used
and viii be in use for several days to
come, according TO present indications.
Therefore IL is necessary to protect
The outlet by preventing the river from
overlooking its hanks and coming over
on this land.
In protecting its property the city
Is using brush and sacks Of sand This
brush is cut from land at a point about
half a mile west from the place where
the protective work is being done. Two
teams are used 10 haul IL to the point
where II is being used. There it is
placed outside the bank and weighted
down with sacks OF earth weighing
about zoe or 500 pounds each This
makes most effective protection and
IL is believed TO have thrown the cur
rent across to the Mexican side.
However. about one mile and half
southeast Of Washington park the riv-
er again cuts into the American bank
and here several acres of land have
been washed away.

lothario.

San B~ernardino, Cal.-Mrs. Anna
Brown, aged fifty-tive, of Ligonier, Ind,
and Mrs. Ellen Wadsworth, fifty. OF
Newark, N. j., have sworn to com
plants charging that a man under the
names Of K. w. Keown and James
Clark married each in turn within a
few weeks and then disappeared. The
;women-both formerly well to do, but
now said to be destitute-asked the
police to assist them.
Through a matrimonial agency Mrs.
Brown said she correspondent with the
man and at his suggestion sold her
home and went to San Diego. They
went through a marriage ceremony
there, and the man, then known as
Keown, disappeared.
AS Clark, it was charged, the man
was at the same time conducting
matrimonial negotiations with Mrs.
Wadsworth, who came to this city a
month ago.. After another marriage
ceremony here, it is alleged the man
deserted her. The police found among
the alleged bigamist's effects many
letters showing that he had been con-
Quoting similar operations for a long
time.

ROMAN VILLA is UNEARTHED

Treasures In Dispute Between

DR.. Johan 40Bergman conducts a va

classical scholars. He has given the
particulars about a newly discovered
antique villa near Pompeii.
Vineyard laborers happened upon
this extraordinary ruin very recently.
Ten rooms Of 1t were cleared before
the Italian government stopped the
owners operations. More will be
cleared when an Italian court has de-
termined what Indemnity the state
must pay him for the property.
Mt. Vesuvius overwhelmed the new
villa with volcanic ash and pumice
co-incidently with Pompeii, A. D. TO.
But its construction and decorations
are of early Augustan date and Of
p~rincely magniicence.
Only three Pompeiian suburbana OF
equal splendor have been discovered.
Bulwer-Lytton's "Villa Of Diomed,"
found In the 18th century, was the
first. A second was uncovered at
Boscoreale in 1895.
It was there that De Frisco, a men,

They Saved His Life.

Does it pay 20 stop your motor car
after an accident and go back to see
what has happened? Two young mo-
torists on the south side believe 1t
does.
With a green chauffeur these two
boys were trying out a new model
touring car. They were sitting in the
back seat when the greenhorn at the
steering wheel gave it a twist and
came within an ace OF hitting an old
mar at a crossing. The victim was
SO shocked that he fell to the pave
ment, and a crowd gathered in an In
slant.
Looking back, the motorists decided
that things looked bad, but that they
had better 90 back and e whether
the old party was killed. Finding him
all right, but winded, they took him
for a nice ride around the parks. So
pleasant did they make 1t for him that
when they tok him home to his wife
he introduced them as 1.-THE two young
men who saved my life"
They are now thinking OF applying
for Carnegie medals.

The Metropolitan museum owns sew

Mr.. Morgan a charming bronze statu-

A third villa of fairly equal proper
lions was located at Boscoreale once
more in 1900, but the condition of the
paintings in its "a apartments is de-
,p%lorable.
The principal hall in the new Pom
peian country house has a fine MOSAIC
pavement and is frescoed round about

and children. The handsomest group
is one of Bacchus and Ariadne. Else

who. despite the physical pain Of the
injury, the mental woes he had suffer
ed and the horror of the sight that
me his eyes after a night of agony.
still had courage to save from distress
and possible death another man more

the latter assumes for himself.

"and at about 5 o'clock I was wound

began to wonder what l should do
with myself. The battle had beer
