McDonald Tells of the Fight.
"We were first startled by a hack sud-
denly stopping about fifteen^ or twenty
steps in front of us," said captain M* -
Donald. "Then there were two shots
fired at about the same time, fc rom tne
flushes of tire it s«fined as though tiie
people in the hacks were shooting ovor
our heads. We Jumped from our hack
at the same time, calling to them that
we were the Slate Rangers. McKinzie
speaking in Spanish and 1 in English-
"Thev replied with an epithet, saying
they didn't rare for the gringos and
fired again. This time the flashes of
fire seemingly came straight toward us.
We knew it was all off then. They were
not more than ten steps away.
"McCaulev. Marsden and myself have
uutomntie rifles ami w- omptlwi our
rifles in tin direction from whicli tne

most instantly. Offline 'ind McKmzle
were armrd with 30-40 Winchester rifles.
In all we must have fired thirty shots
and the Mexicans must have fired as
many. r _
"Then they began firing on us from a
house nearby. It may have been som<
of the Mexicans who ran there J rom the
hack or it may have been the people
who lived there, who were terrorized and
thought we were all highwaymen.
"One of the men was found dead in
the hack. The others ran into the
thicket and were found dead."
The examining trial of Francisco Fetus,
one of ihe men arrested, was held Sat-
urday. He was released on $1000 bond.
Manuel Osuna is shot through the left
leg and is under treatment in jail here.
One other man who is believed to have
fired from a house by the roadside, is
under arrest.
Identity of the Mexicans.
The Mexicans killed were about 25
years of age. They had been working,
at times at least, at the Garcia ranch,
twelve miles east of here. In the hack
they had a quantity of meat they had
bought at Rio Grande City. They had
spent Thursday afternoon in Rio Grande
City. The Rangers found where they
had bought liquor at one saloon.
The general opinion is they were on a
reckless spree. Had they been laying in
wait for the Rangers they would have
hidden and shot from ambush ami not
ventured into such an open and unequal
figHT. The men were buried in a Mexican
cemetery about a mile east of where they
were killed.
According to the report, of Justice K.
Salinas, Candelario Garcia Farias was
shot through the right and left shoulders
and in the right elbow. His body was
found in the hack In a sitting position.
He had a Winchester rifle by his side.
At his feet were nineteen empty and
one loaded cartridge, one empty whisky
bottle and four empty beer bottles.
Gasper Osuna was found dead. He had
a Winchester rifle, containing one empty
cartridge in his hands. There were threo
gunshot wounds in his 'left arm, one
through the left side of his neck and one
through the left side of the body near
the heart.
Jose Vincia and Juan Garcia Perez
were each shot through the body.
Captain McDonald wishes to be quoted
as saying the State Troops were not
sent to protect the Rangers but to work
in harmony with them. G. P.

RIO GRANDE, Tex., Nov. 13.—The of-
ficial count of the election returns was
made today by the Commissioners'
Court. There was no demonstration of
any kind. No one carried weapons ex-
cept those authorized by law to do so.
Everyone was excluded from the court
room while the count was going on ex-
cept the members of the court and Adju-
tant General Hulen and Marc McLemore,
who, as representatives respectively of
the Democrats and Republicans, saw
that a fair count was given.
The court room is on the upper floor
and Rangers occupied the hallway and
the lower floor to see that peace was
maintained throughout the day.
Both sides are satisfied with the re-
sult. and there will be no contest.
Deodora Guerra. Democratic candidate
for Sheriff, carried the county by 03
votes. Governor Campbell carried the
county, as did the Democratic candidates
for »'ommissioner, Constable and Justice

District.
The excitement has subsided here to a
large extent. Soldiers on guard report
people on the streets at all hours of the
night. It is probable the State troops
will leave hero today.
Little lias been done toward tracing
the assassin of Judge Welch. The lun-
gers have no clue upon which to work.
it is said several arrests have been
made by the Mexican authorities across
the river.
A movement was started today by
J. B. Wells and F. W. Sea bury to raise
a reward of 12000 in this judic ial district

DEATH RECORD.
Triekesl by Dyspepsia
The Doctor Couldn't Tel! Where
the Trouble Lay.
"For the past seven years I have been
a victim of dyspepsia and chronic con-
stipation and have consulted • the most
noted specialists to be found on diseases
of this character None. however
seemed to locate the difficulty or give
relief. In addition to this medical treat-
ment. I have resorted to the use of many
remedies and have given them faithful
trial, but all to no purpose.
Upon the recommendation of a close
friend. I purchased a 50c package of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and in less
than five days noticed that I was re-
ceiving more benefit than from any rem-
edy I had used before. I continued to
use the tablets after each meal for one
month, and by that time my stomach
was in a healthy condition, capable of
digesting anything which my increasing
appetite demanded.
I have not experienced any return of
my former trouble, though three months
have elapsed since taking your remedy."
We wish that you could see with your
own eyes the countless other bona-fide
signed letters from grateful men and
women all over the land who had suffered
years of agony with dyspepsia, tried
every known remedy and consulted emi-
nent specialists without result, until tin v
gave Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets a trial.
Like the doctor above, they couldn't lo-
cate the seat of the trouble.
Dyspepsia is a disease which has long
baffled physicians. So difficult of loca-
tion is the disease that cure seems next
to miraculous. There is only one way to
treat dyspepsia—to supply the elements
which nature has ordained to perform this
function and to cause therfi to enter the
digestive organs, supplying the fluids
which they lack. Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets alone fill these requirements, as
Is shown by the fact that 40.000 physi-
cians In the United States and Canada
unite in recommending them to their pa-
tients for stomach disorders.
We do not claim or expect Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablet* to cure anything but
disordered conditions of the stomach
and other digestive organs, but this they
never fail to do. They work upon the in-
ner lining of the stomach and intestines,
stimulate the gastric glands and aid in
the secretion of juices necessary to di-
gestion.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale
by all druggists at RO cents n box. One
box will frequently effect a perfect cure.

PARASITES THAT
DESTROY WEEVILS
TRAVEL SLOWLY
Entomologists of the Cotton Belt
Discuss Migration of Boll Wee=
vils at Baton Konge.
DESTROYING AGENCIES
ARE INDIGENOUS TO SOIL
"BATON ROTTJE. T>a., Nov. 13.~The
cotton boll weevil was discussed by the
Association of Official ICntomologlsts. of
the Cotton Belt, which met: in conven-
tion here today. J. B. Garrett, assistant
entomologist of the Louisiana State Crop
Pest Commission, said that in 1905 the
migrating boll weevil in Iiouisiana had
covered but 31 per cent of the cotton
lands, but that during1 the present year it
had made a record-breaking migration,
now covering 64 per cent of the lands on
which it can exist.
W. I). Pierce, special agent of the Bu-
reau of Entomology for Texa;-, spoke of
the parasites which destroy the weevil,
lie said that in the migration of the
weevil from Mexico it has continually
outstripped the movement of these para-
sites. On the other hand wherever tho
weevil wont it found new parasites,
eleven varieties of these weevil destroy-
ing agencies having been met with in
Louisiana, alone. The weevil parasites,
he add^d. are indigenous to the soil
where they have been found. Although
at present tho percentage of parasites as
compared with tho number or' weevils, is
infinitely small, Mr. Pierce says that it
might be possible by cultivation of the
parasites to so increase their number
as to destroy at least partially the weevil

cultural Science also began its conven-
tion here today.

ASHEVIT/T.E. N. C.. Nov. 13.—Patrol-
men Charles Blaekstock md Wrn. Bailey
were shot to death on South Main Street
tonight by a negro who proclaimed him-
self to be Will Harris of Charlotte, a
desperado for whom a l.-o-ge reward has
been standing for some time.
Prior to the killing of the two officers,
Ben Allison, a negro restaurant keeper,
was killed by Harris, who shot him
with a rifle without provocation. An-
other negro named Torn Noil lies mortal-
ly wounded, he too. being shot before
the officers took a hand in tlv melee.
Harris started out on his death dealing
tour from a negro house on Valley
Street. He fired into two houses as he
made his way to South Main Street, one
of the principal streets of the city. As
he reached Eagle Street. h> fired at and
killed Allison.
On South Main Street the negro en-
countered Tom Neil and fired at him.
The shooting quickly brought Police
Captain Page and Officers Bailey and 1
Blaekstock to the scene. Captain Page
met the negro in the center of Main
Street and received a bullet in tiie arm
from the negro's rifle. The wounded
Captain called upon Blaekstock to fire,
but before tho officer could do so he fell
dead with a bullet in the chest.
Harris then started for the square
where Patrolman Bailey was waiting for
him. Bailey fired twice, but missed
him. and the negro, turning his rifle on
th« officer, sent a bullet through the

LAUGHED AT FIRST
But Changed His Mind on Investiga-
tion.
It often seems ridiculous what a sim-
ple thing can do in shaping our lives.
We do certain things because our fath-
ers before us did, and don't stop to think
that wo might be better for a change..
A man tells how he changed from cof-
fee to Post urn Food Coffee and tho re-
markable difference it made in him.
"I have been a heavy coffee-drinker
for years, got very nervous and my mind
seemed dazed. 1 would go to work every
morning with an unsteady hand, and ac-
tually endanger my life, as 1 am a
building mechanic.
"I had read of the results that oc-
ouned by changing from coffee to Post-
um. but 1 was in such a condition men-
tally and physically that I never thought
of it for myself. But I kept growing
worse every day until I was advised to
try Postum.
"I laughed at first, but finally tried it.
and to my great surprise, 1 was dead
sure I had at last found the real trouble
and how to get rid of it.
"While using coffee, among ail the
other alls 1 was also troubled with sour
stomach and fias. but thanks to Postum
and the friend who advised me to use it.
my stomach can now stand almost any
kind of food. Tho whole change is a
wonder to me." Nam«> given by Postum

gate the exclusion of Japanese children

Secretary Metcalf has during his visit
here gone very thoroughly into the mat-
ter and will take a great amount of
statistics and facts bearing upon tho
case to Washington wth him. He heard
complaints of the alleged boycotting of j
Japanese restaurants and other places '

"Wanted, a small boy with a bicycle,"
is the sign that adorns a great many
of the doors of business houses in this
city. For some reason, or, rather, for a
number of reasons, the small boys are
not found in large numbers. It seems
to be more difficult this winter to coax
them from school when fathers, and, in
many cases, big brothers, have more of-
fers of work than they can entertain.
The jokes that have been sprung in
opera houses in San Antonio this sea-
son about the results of advertising for
small boys have not been popular. The
small boy i.s hard to find.
If he really wants to work he can
easily procure a good position offering
opportunity for promotion. He isn't par-
ticularly desirous of the ordinary job
which requires him to use a bicycle.
Discusing the "small boy famine" a few
days ago, a business man who is in
charge of a large office building on Hous-
ton Street said:
"1 have had much trouble getting an
elevator boy. When we do get one it
is impossible to keep him more than a
few months. A boy who has sense
enough to work an elevator, as little as
that requires, has enough to fill a posi-
tion that will pay him much better.
His elevator brings him in communica-
tion with men who know where the bet-
ter positions can be found and he soon
leaves. I doubt that there are more than
three or four elevator boys in the city
who have been working at their present
positions more than a year."
Tho manager ot' a firm which employs
many small boys in various capacities
remarked a few days ago that he was
paying better wages than ever boofre.
Those who have occasion to call mes-
senger boys frequently within the last
three months have noticed new faces
under the messenger boys' hats a little
oftener than unual.
This condition is attributed chiefly to
the fact that work is plentiful and chil-
dren are nearly all in school. The great
increase in the number of children in
the public schools proves this fa- t. In
figuring out the increase a few days ago
I«. K. Wolfe. Superintendent of the City
Public Schools, remarked that if the
same increase in attendance be made
(vry year for the next ten years the
capacity of the public schools of San
Antonio will have to be doubled. Super-
intendent P. F. Stewart said a few days
ago that the increase in the attendance
of the rural schools since September,
when the schools opened, had amounted
to 100 per cent, without figuring the in-
crease in the September attendance over
the attendance of the preceding year.
The other reason is that of a great
demand and a small supply which gives
the little fellow a chance, to choose the
position he wants and stick to it.

TAFI AT FORT WORTH.
Secretary Is Received by Representa-
tives of the City, the Railroads
and the Roosevelt Club.
Special Telegram to The Express.
FORT WORTH, Tex., Nov. 13.—Secre-
tary William H. Taft and his party
arrived in the city at 7 o'clock tonight
over the Rock Island and departed
south over the Katy for San Antonio
about 8 o'clock. In that short hour the
Secretary received those who went to
the train to greet him, took dinner at
the Union Station Restaurant and deliv-
ered a short speech from the balcony of
the eating room to ;i large crowd gath-
ered in the depot lobby below.
Knowing of th coming of the Secre-
tary of War, the Roosevelt Republican
Club of this city, together with the city
officials. including President J. L.
Cooper of the Board of Trade and Mayor
W. D. Harris, arranged a reception for
him and his party.
When the train which bore the party
arrived at the yard office of the Rock
Island about two miles from the city the
following gentlemen boarded it: Dr. J.
L. Cooper, president of the Fort Worth
Board of Trade; 8. R. Hovey, vice
president of the Rock Island; Klmon
Armstrong and I<. M. Barkley, repre-
senting the Roosevelt Club, and a news-
paper representative.
The train was the advance section of
tho regular, which was much delayed,
and was made up of two coaches, one
passenger and one private coach, the
latter accommodating the Taft party.
Secretary Taft seemed in excellent
spirits, notwithstanding his somewhat
strenuous trip. The others in the party
were Gen. T. TI. Terry of the general
staff; Captain CJrote, Captain Hutcheson,
General Humphreys, Quartermaster Gen-
eral of the Army, and W. W. Mischler,
private secretary of Secretary Taft.
Secretary Taft learned for the first
time of the death of General Shafter. Tie
had not. seen a morning paper and turned
to General Humphreys, calling his at-
tention to the account. Even in the
hurry of the moment the note of sincere
regret in his voice was noticeable. The
run to the city from the yard office was
made in about ten minutes. When the
train drew up at the station about fifty
citizens were In waiting. The majority
of those In waiting wore badges of the
Roosevelt Club. Dr. Cooper, who was on
board the train, secured a badge of the
club, and before the Secretary had time
to alight, asked him if he would have
the hadge pinned to his lapel. The Sec-
retary quietly but firmly refused, saying
that his trip was one of a business mat-
ter and not a political one, and that the
badge would therefore be inappropriate.
A crowd of several hundred people had
gathered in the lobby of the depot be-
low. and the Secretary was urged to
make a speech. He was greeted with
cheers as he advanced to the edge of the
balcony. Hp said:
"Ladies and Gentlemen of Texas: Thtfc
trip is not, a speaking trip. It is a trip
that I am taking on the business of the
War Department. It has been a very edu-
cating and instructive trip, because it has
brought home to me with great em-
phasis the wonderful growth and enter-
prise of the Southwest country. It has
been very difficult for us in making
changes and taking trains from one point
to another to find seats, which indicates
that every man has money to travel
upon and to buy tickets for his wife and
children. And as we came along we saw
many fr- ight trains, indicating prosper-
ity. whirh occasions congratulations. Tf
four years more of prosperity greets you
T ex; t to find at the end of that time
Fort Worth a city of three or four times
its present population and. if possible,
three or four tirms as large in energy,
although I haudly think that last is pos-
sible."
The Secretary was roundly applauded
when lie concluded.
The . arty then repaired into the pri-
vate dining room and enjoyed the feast
which had been prepared for the occa-
sion ir» company with a number of Fort
Worth people.
The j arty left over the Katy promptly
on tinie and will arrive in San Antonio
early tomorrow morning.
