The American Yaclit Wins Three Straight Races and the Cup Stays at Home. After one of the most exciting struirtrles in the history of yacht racing, the American boat Col umbia has come off victorious over her British competitor, Sir Thomas Lipton's Shamrock II. Americans will of course feel gratified at the result of the races. Still there is many a man loyal to the stars and stripes who would not have grieved to see Sir Thomas take the cup away to Enirland. America has held the cup for half a century against all comers and much interest would be added to the sport if she had to send a boat to British waters to bring the trophy back. Be sides, Sir Thomas has impressed Americans so favorably that they would by no means grieve to see him victor. once more in El Paso, has refiled her suit against the Santa Fe railroad for $20,000 as compensa tion for personal injuries received while she was the company's agent at La Tuna, New Mexico. The filing of the original suit about a year ago marked the be ginning of Mrs. Freeman's troubles. After the depot at La Tuna had been destroyed by fire she came to this city for treat ment, refusing to go to the rail road hospital at San Marcial. A short time later she filed suit against the company for injuries received during the fire. A week or so later she was ar rested on various and sundry charges and placed in jail. 1 he public is well acquainted with the history of these criminal proceedings and it needs rio repe tition 1 ere. She was out on bond with the general under standing that she would never be tried vi lexas, owing to a lack of evidence, when she was seized in the night time by virtue of an extradition warrant and taken to Socorro county, New Mexico. She subsequently escaped, but was recaptured at Las Cruces and held there until finally released on 'xnd, whereupon she returned to LI Paso, and today tiled suit against the railroad company.

All went well with Sam until he came in forcible contact with a tree, but how things went with him for the next twenty-four hours he know a not. At that time he was found lying uncon scious where he had fallen and was brought to town. Sam was brought to after the doctor had taken a few pieces of broken bone and a small quantity of loose brain from a hole in his forehead, and thus it is that So corro now numbers among her population a sadder and, probably, a wiser Chinaman.
