a visitor to the Bollerman Piano
factory and placed a mouse proof

and repairer, is also an inventor of
recognized standing and well up to j
datl in his profession.

Unusual Stunt for a Donkey.
"Tprdo," the little burro be
longing to the Mason Transfer Co.
which is usually known as the
"immigration burro," because he
has the habit of loitering in the
neighborhood of the immigration
offices, performed an unusual stunt
yesterday afternoon- Wishing to
get a drink from the river, his
burroshio betook himself to the
chalan landing at the ferry, and
while in the act of drinking he
slipped into the "silvery Rio
"Grande.'' Owing to the bank be
ing too steep, he wasunableto land
again on this side, and, after try-
ine to do so ineffectually, he turn
ed around and swam across the
river to the Mexican side. On
reaching the opposite side, ' 'Tordo'
looked back towards the Lone Star
state, and apparently not wanting
to leave his happy home over here,
he dared the stream again. After
an hour s swim, he finally suc
ceeded in landing again on his na
tive soil.
The customs officials are not yet
decided as to whether Tordo'
has cheated them out of the cus
tomary 10 per cent penalty, by
coming into the country, in such
an informal manner, and the ferry
men also have a grudge against
his burroship for cheating them
out of a fare.
Death of an infant.
Manuel Jose Barreda, -the two
months old infant son of Mr. and
Mrs. Manuel Barreda of this city,
died at their home in this city
this morning, after a brief illnes.
The funeral takes place from the
family residence on Elizabeth
street this afternoon.
The sorrowing parents have the
sincere sympathy of many friends
in their great loss.
