GEN. BLANCO BIRTHDAY

Yesterday was the birthday of Gen
eral Lucio Blanco. commander of the con
StitutionaliSt forces in MatamorOs-his
35th birthday. if the chronicle given The
Herald be reliable. The event was eel
ebrated by the general. his staff officers,
and 4 number Of prominent Matamoros
citizens. besides Mrs. Blanco and a mum
Der of other prominent ladies, with an
open air fete ut Santa Cruz. An elegant
luncheon was served in the park, and a
band furnished some fine music as an ac-
compartment to the feast. Owing to the
exciting experience of the garrison of the
previous night. the celebration was not
made quite 50 elaborate, as it would have
been otherwise.
General Blanco received the congratu-
lations and good wishes of his host Of
friends and answered all in the most hap
Ply mood.
Although his age is given at only thir-
ty-five, the serious air which generally
marks the general. and the important
place which he holds in the constitution
aliSt army give the impression that he is
rather older han than.

CITY NEWS

AR0fHcr Big LcdE.-LaSt evening about
six o'clock. a leak was sprung in the wa
ter main some distance out on Elizabeth
street. When Superintendent Williams
and his assistant reached the place the
water had already ding Il good-sized hole,
and the water was pouring out like Il
regular eeyser. Both jumped into the
hole, in water nearly up 10 the neck, and
set to work to make such repairs as could
not be topped, and the repairs were
made with the greatest difficulty. 1T is
probable that the pressure will have TO
be cut off a while this evening. 50 that
permanent repairs may be made. The
leak was caused by the lead being blown
out Of the joint.

Prisoners 10 Homc-That the trustee
system does not mean anything in
Brownsville seems to be apparent today.
Two of the city prisoners were sent out
in charge of another prisoner. who had
been designated as trustee. When the
men got out to the place of work, they
struck on the trustee and wen home.
They told him that he was a prisoner as
well as they, and they would not work
for him. So home they liked. Judge

SEEK HEIR TO $4,000.
NEW YORK LAWYER WISHES TO
TRACE ALOYSIUS KEYES OR HIS
HEIRS.

According to the letter published be-
low. which was received several days ago
by The Herald. there is Il neat fortune
awaiting one Aloysius Keyee, if living.
or his heirs. if he be no more in the land
of the living. AS the letter states. Mr..
Keyes was last heard of in MatamOrOs
about 1903. Careful inquiry has been
made by The Herald, but apparently no
trace Of the man can be obtained either
in Matamoros or in Brownsville at pres
ent. No one here appears to know any
thing of his whereabouts. 1t was thought
possible that the name might have been
Reyes, instead Of Keyes. the former being
a well known Mexican name. but that
trail has brought no results 50 far.
As there NAV be some one who could
supply information bv which Mr.. KeyeS
could be reached. the letter is herewith
reproduced:
July II, 1913.
The Herald.
Brownsville, Texas.
Gentlemen:
We would like to learn the present
address if living of Aloysius Reyes
if dead. his heirs. He was last heard
of mt MatamOrDS. Mexico. about 1No3.
IF living he is entitled TO ahouT So
600. and if dead. leaving children. he
latter are entitled to the same.
ANYONE having information concerning
the above should notify The Herald.

A Crisis at the court.House.

Just at daybreak Yancy was reused
by the pressure of n hand on his
shoulder and opening his eyes saw
that the Judge was bending over him.
"Dress!" he said briefly. There's
every prospect OF troube-get your
rife and come with me-"
Yancy noted that this prospect or
trouble seemed TO afford the judge a
pleasurable sensation; indeed, he had
quite lost his former air OF somber
and suppressed melancholy.
II let you sleep. thinking you need
ed the rest" the Judge went on. But
ever since midnight we've been on the
verge OF riot and possible bloodshed.
They've arrested John Murrell-it's
claimed he's planned a servile rebel

wormed his way into his confidence.

Presently Hannibal was deep in his
account OF those adventures he had
shared with Miss Betty.
