ACCOUNT OF KIDNAPPING
L. Il. WEST KILLS ANTONIO MO
RENO IN SELF DEFENSE, AT
TEMPTING TO FIND LOST GIRL.
Especial to The HcrdId.D

MERCEDES, Texas, March 20-An-

river a short distance south of the LlanO
Grande pumping plant, was shot and
killed yesterday afternoon about five
o'clock by L. +. West, ranchman liv-
ing near the same place. who claims that
he fired in self defense. The shooting Oc-
CURED as the result of the disappearance
Of a 14-vear-old girl, the daughter of a
man named Cara, who is employed on
Vests farm. Cara accused Moreno of
having kidnapped the girl. and asked Mr..
West TO 90 with him TO force Moreno to
give up his daughter. When they reached
Morcnos house, he appeared at the door,
rifle in hand, and refused to admit the
men, firing at them with his rifle. West
returned the fire. and Moreno fell NOR
tally wounded.
West at once went over to the pump
ing plant and phone the officers at Mer-
ccdes of the shooting. When the officers
appeared on the scene he surrendered to
arrest and was brought to town. He was
released under $500 bond to appear to-
morrow morning for preliminary hear

FALSE CHECK ARTIST
OBTAINS PART OF CASH AS
CHANGE ON CHECK, AFTER MAX
ING PURCHASE.

The NimmO Brown company, mer-
chants at 11th and Washington streets,
yesterday found that they had been vic
timized by bad check artist Tuesday
night. They accepted a check for $50.
which apparently had been signed by the
superintendent Of a large Houston firm
having a branch in this city. Some mer-
chandise was purchased by the stranger,
and he was given part of the cash as
change for the check, the management
asking him to return the following morn
ing during banking hours, when they
would pay the balance of about go.
Needless to state. he never returned for
the balance, and officers have been un-
able to locate him so far.
The check was well made out carefully
written and Singned in extraordinary
penmanship in ink. and the artist had
even gone 50 far as to press q check pro
tectOr Of another first into service, max
ing the paper not good for more than
$50 1t is also thought that another OF
the same artists checks is out, as he is
known to have punched two when he bOr-
rOwed the check protector. the proprietor
of the place never suspecting that any
thing wrong was intended. About go
was secured on the forgery.
\ The checked cashed BY the Nimmo-
Brown company was endorsed in pencil,
and by closely comparing the endorse
ment and the signature, there appears a
slight similarity in the manner Of writ
ing the names.
The check purported to have been
signed by the Magnolia Oh company, by
its superintendent, III. B. Ellis, the name
I"Kent Foster" appearing rs that Of the
payee. Both names apparently are fic-
titiOus
This is the second instance of the kind
occurring here recently. 1t doubtless
will make our citizens somewhat wary
of cashing checks for strangers.

We most respectfully but most
urgently request that you approve the
bill creating the 74th judicial district.
The relief afforded by this bill is urgent,
ly needed by the present district The
present district dOckets are 50 crowded
with business, that it is almost impOs-

men in this section are making vendors

Austin, San Antonio and Houston on
this account The business Of the pres
cnt 2Sth judicial district is very rapidly
increasing and has already reached the
point where one court can not possibly
transact it all"

EMPLOYES MUSTN'T TALK
New Haven Road sadd to Have Called Attention of Men to Rule
 Against It.

New Haven, Aug. 27-Considerable talk has been created among employees of the New Haven road over a strin- gent order forbidding the giving of information to newspaper men. It has been generally reported that the mo- tices were to the effect that a vio- lation of this rule would mean dis charge from employment
 Inquiry in semi official circles elicit ed the information that the rule is not a new rule but whatever order was given, if such an order was giv- en, was merely calling the attention of the employees to a rule which has been in force for some time. That rule applied to heads of departments as well as to the rank and file and was to the effect that no statements should be given to the newspapers in reference to the business of the road which might be construed as official statements without the approavl of the high officials of the company.
 The reason, it is said, for whatever action was taken, is that of late state ments have appeared in the papers purporting to come from employees of the road, which statements were at distinct variance with the opinions of the road upon the same subjects.
