TUESDAY
ARE BEAUTIFYING
BOWEN’S ISLAND
WITH A TERRACE
Work Is Under Way and Will
Continue for the Next Two
Months to Be Completed
FOR A TOURIST HOTEL
As It Is In the Artesian Belt a
Well Will Probably Be Sunk
On the Property.
San Antonio will have another beau-
ty spot when the work now in progress
on Bowen’s island is completed. The
work of filling in the numerous cavi-
ties on the island is well under way
and the bank along the river is being
terraced.
The work is being done by the Bowen
estate and is in charge of Berman
Wagenfuehr. So far he has had about
10000 loads of dirt dumped into the
place and has a fine road running along
one side of it while along the bank of
the river the dirt has been piled so that
it slopes beautifully and will make very
pretty terrace.
Mr. Wagenfuehr has engaged all the
teams he can get to haul dirt. He ex-
pects to have it completed in the next
two months.
Bow-en’s island has been suggested
as an ideal site for a tourist hotel. It
covers six acres of ground w-ith the San
Antonio river on three sides. It is
not an island but really a peninsula
lining almost directly off Commerce
street it would be easily accessible for
a tourist hotel and its fdte is unsur-
passed.
It is probable that an artesian well
will be sunk on the place since it is
directly between the San Antonio water
supply company's plant where there
are fourteen wells and the county
courthouse where there is also a well.
Germania Lodge Anniversary—The
Germania lodge of the Knights and
Ladies of Honor celebrated its twenty-

out in honor of the occasion and during
the evening refreshments were served.

tain Tea. It drives out the germs of

GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN
METHOD OF TREATING
; NERVOUS DISORDERS
Raauita from Uss of the Tonic Frest-
ment So Remarkable That No
Nervous Sufferer Cen Afford
to Neglect It.
The tonic treatment with Dr. Wil-
liams Pink Pill. is a distinct advance in
the treatment of ell nervous disorders.
It succeeds where other treatments fail
because it is based on the sound medi-
cal principle that the healt h of the nerves
depends u|xm pure red blood. By build-
ing and purifying the blood Dr. Wil-
liams’ Pink Pills supply the nerves with
the vital elements they need.
The case of Mrs. Elizabeth Shepherd
of No. 1216 W’ashington street Kansas
City Mo. is convincing proof of the
power of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to
cure even the most severe nervous dis-
eases. She says:
"I am glad to tell of my experience
with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I was
suffering from partial paralysis of the left
side of my face the trouble beginning
with a general breakdown of the ner-
vous system. First I had a severe ear
1 ache which came on very suddenly
My left ear seemed to be held in a visu.
There was a prickling sensation through-
out my head and left side of my face.
My eyes were affected and tlie left side
of my face became partially paralyzed.
The pains were very severe. I was
weak could not get a good night's rest
and lost in flesh. My circulation was
poor. .
“I was treated by doctors at Ossa-
watomie Kansas who pronounced my
affliction partial paralysis. They gave
me only temporary relief. I also took
electric treatments for a time. After a
year of suffering during which time I
was occasionally confined to bed for a
day or so I began using Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. » 1 received benefit sooner
than I hoped for and gained in strength
rapidly. The prickling sensations dis-
appeared and I took the pills until cured.
I have great faith in Dr. Williams’ Pink
| Pills. ”

liams' Pink Pills have done in such dis-
eases as nervous prostration nervous

vous headaches partial paralvsis and

Harry Leathern Charged With
Burglary and Theft to
Prove an Alibi.
THE CLOCK STRUCK ONE
When the Watchman Awoke
Caused By the Break-
ing of a Window
Shall Harry L. Leathern charged .
with burglary and theft continue to
wear the spick and span uniform of a
soldier of the United States or shall ha
don the stripes and arrows which are
the outward marks of a convict.
This is the question which twelve
men were this morning asked to answer
when they were s worn in as jurors to
try the case in the criminal court
Leathern a San Antonio youth stands
charged with using a rock to break the
window of Charles Klaus' saloon near
♦he army post and then of abstracting
four bottles of whiskey. A plea of not
guilty has been entered.
Prior to going into trial Judge Dwyer
was called on to decide a motion for a
continuance. Counsel for Leathern
claimed that several material witnesses
were absent among them George Berry
whose residence was given as being on
Hart avenue. Counsel for state opposed
the motion declaring that no such street j
or avenue as ‘‘Hart avenue” existed in
San Antonio and that the application
for a continuance was merelv to delay
the trial. The .court overruled the mo-
tion and taking of testimony began.
The state is attempting to prove thnt
Leathern smashed the window with a
rock abstracted four bottles of whiskey
and drank some of it. partaking of ouch
ar amount that when seen next morn-
ing by Corporal M. G. Earl he showed
signs of having been drinking. The
defense will consist of an attempt to
prove an alibi inasmuch as the burglary
is said to have been committed doge
to 1 o’clock in the morning and the
defense contends that it can prove thnt
leathern was elsewhere at the ti-me
Charles Klaus was the first witness
beard. He is the owner of the place
burglarized and testified that an old
Mexican who slept in the store came
und notified him after midnight of Feb-
ruary 2 that some one had broken the
window. He examined he said and
found that four bottles of booze had
been taken.
Eligro Medina the Meiican corrobo
i rated the statement regarding the
breaking of the window and the time at
। which it took place saying that he
' heard the clock in the saloon strike one
; as he was rushing to see what had
1 broken the window.
Corporal Earl was on the stand at
r.oon to testify regarding having been
offered a drink by Leathern about 4
o’clock on the morning of February 2.
Other w-itnesses were heard this after-
noon.
POLICE SEARCHING FOR
WM. O’TOOLE OF MILLETT
The local police department is endeav-
oring to locate William O’Toole a re-
tail groceryman of Millett Tex. who
has been misssing from his home for
more than a week. The finding of a
| note in his room yesterday giving in-
! structions for the disposition of his
। property has alarmed his friends and
> fears are entertained that evil has be-
I fallen him.
According to the information receiv
ed by the police here. O’Toole left his
home at Millett February 28 for San
Antonio but has not been seen or
heard of since despite efforts to locate
him. Yesterday morning a clerk in Mr.
O’Toole’s store found a letter in the
office telling what disposition should
be made of his property.' The missing
man is said to have been subject to
heart trouble of late and the finding of
the letter his friends take to mean that
he was despondent over ill health.
'The police have been furnished with
a description but though inquiries have ’
been made at places where he would
likely be found no trace of him has yet
been discovered.
