Porto Rico Has J,tney War.

WASHINGTON, Sept. IA real
war between jitneys and a regular
railroad has developed down in
Porto Rico. Up to two months ago
the railroad had a monopoly of the
passenger business between Vatano

half a million persons a year. Then
the pesky jitney made its appear
ance. Now the .'flivvers" are carry
ing just half the traffic.
Although the jitnay fare was ten
cents. the same as the railroad, the
buses proved so popular with the
people that the railroad was forced
to reduce the fare. The "trip soon
became a sporting proposition. the
jitneys racing With the trains, and
often beating them 10 the finish.
Now it is announced the railroad
will be electrified and all the old
equipment replaced with -,ciern
ears and appliances. These improve
ments will cost many thousands of
dollars, not counting what the rival

Death Of ]. /. CALLAHAN
RECALLS An INDIAN Al|D

THE death of J. A. Callahan at
Cleburne last week called to mind a
very interesting Indian raid" said J.
H. King OF this city today. Il re-
member very we'll how this old Tex
an and Confederate soldier made
short work of band of raiding In
dams at Kickapoo Breaks, near
Granbury. a short time after the
close of the war with the states.
Word had come to town that band
of Indians had crossed the BrazOs
and were making towards Granbury.
Capt. Callahan made up party and
went out to meet them. or rather cut
them off. He guessed they would go
out of the breaks by way of a point
of timber. but found they had cut
straight across and would have got
ten away had not another posse in
tercepted them and turned them back
on Capt. Callahan and his men.
When they came in sight the Indians
saw they could not make an escape
because the horses they were riding
were heavy draft horses and were not
matches for the picked mounts of
the whites. After a short chase the
Indians dismounted and fortified
themselves in raviEe which gave
them excellent protection from the
attacking party by an embankment
above and large cottonwood log
on the lower side. The first attempt
to dislodge the Indians was met by
shots and arrows which wounded two
of the whites. One man by the
name of Ware was hit by an arrow
Bill Clark was struck by bullet.
Neither appeared to be seriously
wounded. though Ware was long
time in getting we'll.
After this first attack the whites
retired and dressed the wounds of
the men. Capt. Callahan called on
all who would go with him and stay
until they had finished the Red
skins to follow him. and every man
in the party responded to the call.
In this determined attack the Indians
were killed, six bucks and one squaw
in number. l was on my way east
from ranch had near there. and
though l did not see the fight, saw
the dead Indians. and had the story

Delegates bring the word that al

chief question in most communities
appears to be methods of financing--
whether bonds or direct taxes are
