INSURANCE ON
 THE AUDITORIUM.

When the council convened Tuesday evening, the question of carrying inst rance on the Au ditorium was brought up. It seems that the insurance has just expired, and been renewed, and the council were wanting lower rate. The insurance agents here could not give lower rate owing to the condition of the building Objections were made by the insurance companies to the way the flues are built, to the electric wiring, ah1 severS1 other minor details, but promised a lower rate if these matters could be adjusted. Some little time was spent by the council in dis cussing this matter, but the ac- count was finally allowed at the high rate. It being the opinion of majority of the council that the amount of insurance could be lessened rather than any improve ments made.

WILL BUILD SIDEWALKS ON JOHNSON STREET
 UNDER NEW LAW

At the meeting of the council Tuesday night the first action was taken under the new side walk ordinance passed recently. Geo. Rupple, residing on John son street. presented a petition from a majority of the property owners thereon, asking the coun- cil to put in cement walks and crossings on that street where they had been left out.
 The council almost immediately passed resolution forming all of Johnson street. from Main to Thompson, into an improvement district and will notify parties owning property thereon to put in the walks, and in case they do not, the town will do so, and the amount collected from the prop erty. There are only three va cancies along the district men toned, the one at the residence of Mrs. L. Furry, and the one on the Solomon estate, and one on the property of c. A. Ownbey, member of the council. Quite bit of amusement was caused when 1t was found that Mir. Own bey s name was not on the peti- ton, but he hastily signed 1t, and gave the other members of the council to understand that he would put in the walk. This is the first action under Ordinance 102, but it is understood that 1t is to be done in several other sec tlons of the town, where there is only one or two lots without walks.

 Wilson stated that he had quite little property.
 Things went along nicely through the summer, not hap pening occurred to mar their mar ried pleasures, until Mrs. Wilson noticed the name Harry l.. = Young on some heavy under wear she was washing. This started her to studying, and she began to look through his trunk. About two weeks ago she found a letter written to Harry l.. Young, and 1t came from a Wo- man in Little Rock. Mr. Wilson had previously told her that he lived i'll Little Rock, and boarded with a woman named Mrs. Lucy Kirby. She read the letter, and from 1t s contents found that he had some one living at Little Rock, who addressed him in a letter as my dear, darling hus- band, and signed the same as your dear wife, Mrs. II. l.. Young. During this time Mr. Wilson was arranging to go to Oregon, and his arrest Monday afternoon was caused by his re- fusal to explain certain things, and by not giving his wife a DOT tion of the money they had say ed.
 Mr. Wilson stated that he was sixty-five years old, married twice, his first wife dying in 1898 at Watkins, N. Y, and that his marriage here was his second. In referring to the letter found in his trunk he stated that he knew nothing of it, didn [ know how 1t got there, nor anything about it. As 10 the marks on his clothing, he did not deny, but said they were put there by some laundry. Mir. Wilson has travelled a great deal, and says that his name got changed during that time, as he had exchanged clothing with oth CT parties, through no fault of his, but on account of the laun-
 dry.

FRANK RABB FINDS BALL
SENTIMENT ALONG BORDER
Declares That Alleged Ball Statements
Concerning IIIlterate Vote Has Done No
Damage, Except Where They Have Been
MiSustd.

Zapata county has been discovered by
the Democratic party, after 1t has voted
solidly Republican and solidly anti-prohi-
bition In every election held IN that county
since i became a county many years ago.
And not only that, Zapata will hold a
Democratic primary on Saturday and at
that primary every vote will be- east for
Tom Ball for Governor, according 10 Col
lector Of Customs Frank Rabb, who haS
just reached Brownsville after making an
automobile trip from Laredo through Webb,
Zapata, Starr, Hidalgo and Cameron coun-
ties.
Collector Rabb stated that ~ found III
all points along the border Ball sentiment
m larger numbers than ~ had hoped. and
IN fact believes Ball will roll up 4 much
larger vote than could have been expected
by even the most ardent border supporter
OF Tom Ball.
The most surprising result of the col
iector'~ trip was his discovery that there
will be- Democratic primary IN Zapata
Saturday. and that the county H. conceded
10 be- solid for Tom Ball for Governor.
Zapata's county seat j. practically seven
ty-flve miles from the nearest railroad sta
tion, and that Ball sentiment could have
reached the far inland border county l~
considered remarkable BY .ae collector.

On this point Mr.. rabbi said:
