A Country Youth Taken in by Crooks

Special.
WACO, TEX, Jan. 3O.-A rural youth
named Cox, from Falls county, was
swIndled to-day by two crooks named
Madison and Jones. Cox was looking
for work and had little money. Mad
i-on roped him In by introducing him
10 Jones. who played the role of yard
master of the II, xas & St Louis rail-
roads Jones hired Cox a, yard
switchman and exRcted deposit Of
five dollarR. Madison gave him pad
lock and key and left him at switch,
where he waited patiently for inatruc-
tions. Somebody found out what was
up and reported the case to Halle de-
tective agency. Madison was found
and arrested, but Jones had skipped
town. II Is an old racket frequently
played around railroad towns.
Parties from Gatesville say Raby,
the ex-sheriff and collector, recently
brought back there, gave bond read
ily enough IN the cases against him,
and signalized his return by getting
on q spree. The wife whom he de-
serted eight years ago is sick with
consumption, but sent for him 70 come
to her house and he Is stopping there,
presumably forgiven by tho dying
woman.
The news OF the squelching Of the
bill TO create Winkler county by slic.

Il a similar movement, in the western
part of the county, TO take slices Of
Coryell, Bell, Falls and McLennau
and make Moody the county site OF 9
new county, but 1t Is not regarded here
az a formidable movement.

A SAD ACCIDENT.

The Ten Year old Son of John
 Cassidy of 431 orchard Street
 Drowned in Beaver Ponds by
 Sinking Into a Mud Hole.
 About o'clock yesterday morning ThoIn- as Cassidy, the ten year old son of John Cas- sidy of 431 Orchard street, left the house saying that he was going out for short walk
 The boy went out Orchard street and to the
 Beaver ponds near Todd's old slaughter
 house. In the pond the boy saw flat
 board and boyhke he thought he would take
 short sail; so pulling the board to the edge of the stream he got on and with stick in
 his hand he pushed the board from the shore. He was having a good time when
 suddenly the board tipped and the boy,
 thinking it was going over, made spring for the shore, but jumped short and fell into the water, sinking into mud hole at the
 bottom of the pond nearly up to his waist, and he did not come to the surface again, the water being about six feet deep. Some boys who saw him jump gave an alarm and men quickly gathered at the pond and after near ly one hour and 8 half of hard work the body was fished out of the mdd and removed to MT. Cassidy's house where all efforts to bring him back to life were unsuccessful. Dr. White and Coroner Mix were notified and after making an investigation of the case came to the conclusion that the boy met his death by accidental drowning. This pond IS very bad place, being filled with holes and quicksands, and although the water is not deep it is a very dangerous place to those who may get into the water. Parents who allow their children to play near this pond should take pains after yesterdays sad aecl- dent to keep their children from venturing on the water

OFFICER TIGHE,s PRISONER.

Edward McDermott of Factory Street And a Crowd of Roughs Make Things Lively on Oak Street for Officer Tighe.
 As Officer Tighe was patroling his beat yes terday afternoon on Oak street he met Ed ward McDermott of Factory street, man well known in police circles, and who was drunk as usual. The officer had told him twice before yesterday to go home and he again repeated that request. This the latter
 refused to accede to and the officer put him under arrest when Patrick J. Finn, who keeps saloon on the corner of Oak and Broad streets, told McDermott not to go with
 the officer. McDermott concluded that he
 would take Finn's advice and not go, so he
 resisted and struck at Officer Tighe; but the latter was too quick for him and avoided the
 blow. Then the tussle began, and Officer
 Tighe not wanting to use his club on the prisoner dropped it on the walk and squar- ed off to McDermott, and when the latter struck at him he parried the blow with his left hand and caught McDermott under the chin with his right, laying him on his back on the sidewalk. McDermott wanted no more and submitted, when the crowd that
 had gathered pitched into the officer and he was pretty badly handled, although he made brave defense. The police wagon arrived with Officers Reilly, P. Doherty and Chief Boliman when the mob escaped. McDer- mott, however, was captured and he and Finn taken to police headquarters where McDermott was locked up on the charge of drunkenness, breach of the peace and re- sisting officer. Finn was charged with in terfering with the officer, and will probably be charged with selling liquor without li- cense. Officer Tghe continued on duty un- til his usual time, o'clock,

 Alexander MeAlister suddenly, in the midst of useful and -honored life in his family and among his fellow citizens, has exchanged the tender ties of love and affec- ton for the rest, peace and love of life eternal in heaven. It seems but yesterday that we met him on the street and returned his glance of kindness as we passed. He seemed in vigorous health and in cheerful spirits as usual. Far from thinking that he would be the first to take leave of his large circle of friends and acquaintances, we be- Eeved he would be among the last. His leg acy of useful life is left to us It was em- phasized by the Rev. Mr. Clark, his former pastor, who conducted the funeral services Saturday afternoon, that "a good life never ends" From long acquaintance he award ed this need of deserved praise to his dear friend and fellow worker in the church.
 For many years he filled the office of su- perintendent of the North church Sunday school. His uniform, punctual, prompt and pleasant rule will long be remembered by teachers and scholars. The teachers meet ings at his house kept up 8 warm interest in Sunday school work. All the work of the pastor and the church received his cheerful assistance. He was one of the few on whom the church work had to depend. In his family the same cheerful spirit and aid was gladly given, and in the affairs of our city he took an active, helpful interest. On election days he often had charge of the voting precinct, man univer- sally loved and respected. His sudden talk ing away gives emphatic warning to us to be like him, never weary in well doing and prepared as he was for the dying hour The large company of mourning friends filled the house, extending out on to the sidewalk. The burial was at the Evergreen cemetery. Beautiful floral offerings were on tEe casket. The funeral service was very impressive.
 Pug dogs as pets have had their day among the extremely fashionable, but colds never go out of fashion, so that it is always necessary to know that Dr. Bulls Cough Syrup is sure cure for all coughs and colds.

Good Samaritans, Meeting.

There was 8 large and enthusiastic meeting of the Good Samaritans at the Atheneum last night. The house was filled. President F. D. Luddington conducted the exercises. Ad- dresses were made by Wm. H. Conklin and Jddge Blydenburgh. The Hoon family gave the audience treat in the shape of some very fine instrumental music. During the meeting twenty persons came forward and took the Samaritans' pledge. The meeting was deeply interesting one and it was man. fest that the large audience felt that the Good Samaritans are engaged in noble and successful work. Next Sunday evening the meeting will be held at Carlls Opera House. On that occasion unusual attractions will be presented and doubtless there will be crowd ed house to enjoy them
