San Antonio, March 13.-Express
Messenger David A. Truesdale baked
the robbery of Southern Pacific
train near Sanderson early today when
he trapped two highway who held up
the train and killed them. The rob-
bers boarded the train few miles
east of Sanderson. The mail and ex-
press cars and the locomotive were
detached from the passenger coaches.
Then the engineer, under cover of
robbers guns, was compelled to run
the two coaches ahead OF the re-
mainder of the train. One of the
robbers took Express Messenger
Truesdale back to the train and kept
him under guard, while the other
robber covered the crew in the cars
ahead and started to rifle the safe
and express boxes.
Truesdale is said to have employed
the old ruse of signalling to an imagi-
nary person back of the captor.
When the robber turned, Truesdale
grasped nallet and before the high
way man could shoot, dashed out his
brains. Then arming himself with
the dead robbers gun, Truesdale wait
ed for the return of the other bandit.
After he had rifled the express boxes
the highway man returned to the
coaches Stepping from cover, Trues-
dale killed him.
All the stolen property was recov-
cred and the train proceeded.
Truesdale is a young man, recently
promoted to the elexpress run, He lives
at San Antonio.

SERVANT in THE HOUSE
This Was Subject Of Excellent Re.
citaI Given at High School This
Morning.

Miss Ruth Morris gave a recital Of
Chas. Kann Kennedy's great play The
Servant in the House at the high
school this morning. Miss Morris
showed fine dramatic ability, all of
her work being worthy of high praise.
She told the story of the play and
rendered selections from it in an ex-
cellent manner. BY her showing Of
this morning Miss Morris is practi-
eally assured of a prominent part in
the senior class play.
"The great lesson of the play con-
cluded the speaker, "is that every
person can make his task glorious,
however humble and distasteful, if he
does it unselfshly and for the good Of
mankind. 1t shows better than any
sermon could that the glory Of life
lies In service"

History taught them that the great
est danger for all governments to face,
the. rock on which the ship of state of
SO many governments had been wreck
ed, was the establishing of the rights
of property superior to the rights of
man. This was not always done by
statute or by imperial decree, but
through subtle and more dangerous
method, custom, and in time customs,
if not changed. are read into the laws.
Realizing this they labored long and
earnestly in their endeavor to found
government IN the fundamental
principles of tie rights of man shall
be first and superior to the rights Of
property, freedom of the individual
and justice and equality for all. The
fruit of their labor was drafted into
the fundamental law of our land, a
document which, for simplicity and

for safeguarding the rights of man and
for its comprehension Of the needs of

never been equalled in the history of

Nations Rapid Growth.

were marked by unusual activity and

spirit of investment and speculation
prevailed the land. Then it was that
it was realized that the trainers Of the
constitution, wise as they were, with
a wisdom far ahead Of their. time, had
left an opportunity for the rights Of
property to usurp the rights of man,
which, aided by custom, threatened the
