THE wool growers of Mitchell county
held convention in Colorado City, and
endorsed Colonel ID. T.. Bently for Con-
gress. Colonel b. is no doubt an excel
lent gentleman, but what objection can
be urged against Lanham? He has GER
tainly made most efficient representa-
tive, has done all that was possible for
his district, IL sound and consistent
Democrat, and commands the respect
and esteem of the whole Texas delega-
ton? These Western stocknlcn seem to
be restless, and are not willing to let
well enough alone.

In order TO arrange the details of the

club Is favorable 10 the project and pre-
sumes the other clubs are also. IL Is
suggested that the convention meet ut
Dallas, July 4th, or between that date
and July 18th. Dallas, Fort Worth,
Paris, Gainesville and shreveport could
make five good towns cup North," while

sires the papers published in the base

the brunt of working up base ball from

THE RISING RIO GRANDE
Retards Work ON the Broken Embanis

SAN ANTONIO, June I.-lSpccial. l.
At Camp Rice, Texas, the Rio Grande
continues to rise as the mountain snow
melts and the work on the great railroad
break on thc'line of the Southern Pacific
between Camp Rice ane Falens is greatly
retarded thereby. Pile drivers are ut
work on each end Of Ithe break and
work trains are hauling gravel and re-
pairing the broken embankment when
transfer ambulanccs are running from
each end of the break, but their charges
are so extortionate that travel has been
much checked. Their charges are in nd
dition to the regular fare. The mails
and express matter go through regularly,
but owing to the present heavy rise In
the river the outlook for the resumption
of passenger traffic is discouraginR,
though IL is said it will be reduced 10
eight miles by July4.

A FEW of the leading papers OF the
State are finding fault with the Fort
Worth convention for expressing an
opinion and adopting resolutions
This is prepostcrous. y state conven-
ton, fresh from the people, is supposed
to represent their views, and it is right
and proper that the whole country
should know their opinions and scnti-
ments. Had the resolutions adopted
been in accord with the views of the
papers referred to, they would have APP
proyed them. This is the gist of ii all.

there might be a widow to draw the pension.
Interested parties made the journey to Rock
land, where a woman was found who was
willing under the circumstances to become
a bride and widow in quick succession.
Feb, 26, Noah Robbins went to Frank Car
kins, the town clerk, and published the in
tention of Samuel Robbins to marry the
widow Lena Lundy The law requires no
tice of five days before marriage. March
the man fell into a comatose state, from
which he never rallied until he died, March, 4.
The story current in the neighborhood is
that when Squire Pease learned how near
dissolution Robbins was, he sent his wife's
son post haste to Rockland to bring on the
bride he and Noah Robbins had selected for
the dying soldier. Unfortunately the boy
did not get back till midnight, March, 4,
some nine hours after Robbins death.
The story goes that the woman was hur-
riedly taken to the chamber where Robbins
lay dead, and the horrible mockery of a
marriage ceremony between the living wo-
man and the corpse was gone through with.
Some say that Pease's son took the clammy
hand of the dead man and placed it in that
OF the willing widow, while others say that a
young man named Fuller performed this re-
pugnant office. On the day of the funeral
Squire Pease was master ceremonies, and
the new-made bride and widow was con-
spicuous mourner. On this occasion he first
introduced her to Robbins relatives as the
dead mans widow. None of then had ever
seen her or heard Of her before, and all ex-
cepting Noah declare most emphatically that
she was never legally married to the dead
man. 1t is absolutely certain that the mar
riage did not take place between the time
the banns were published and Robbins death
for at no time was he conscious or able to
recognize anyone. 1t is said, too, that the
boy, when he brought the woman to Apple
ton at first introduced her as the widow Lun-
dy, and that she was not introduced as Rob-
bins wife. One Of the most prominent law
yers of Knox county said to-day that he had
no doubt that the mockery of wedding live
woman to a corpse was carried out, and that
he had good reasons for believing that the
whole outrageous and villainous scheme had
been devised to obtain possession of the few
hundred dollars that would come from Rob
bins pension, if it were granted. The case
has caused so much scandal that legal in
vestigation will be held.
