Texas Siftings: There is no truth that
Crosby County InvIncibles changed
the location of their armory because the
man living next door had a biting dog.
The Invincibles are not so easily scared.
The lnyinoibies selected another armory
because there was no beer saloon handy,
and because there was $35 back rent due
on the former armory. The biting dog
story is weak invention of the enemy.
Nat y. henderson, of the Bungtown
RECORD, was here last week. Every body
was glad to see Nat-leave town, except,
OF course. the landlord of the Crosbyvilie
hotel, where Nat stopped. He shed
bitter tears. Nat threatened to send
him his paper In pay for the hotel bill.
Inc landlord talks OF giving up the hotel
business altogether.

OF Crosby county is to the effect that
the miscreant who tried to poison Sam

Thanksgiving day comes again With
to-morrow's rising sun and its arrival
will find our people with enough to be
thankful for to keep thsm devoutly busy
during the day. The year has brought a
bountiful yield of the fruits of the soil
and general business depression has
rested lightly upon those who inhabit
this section Of Gods domain. These and
the many other blessings should be
recognized in the devotions of grateful
people. Let heart and voice in unison
arise to the altar of the Giyer of every

chances that this bill will go through,

A Novel Race.

CLEVELAND: OHIO, Feb. "A novel race
was witnessed on the public square today,
Forepaugh's clown elephant, Pickaninny,
being the contestant, in an effort to cover
three miles in thirty minutes, to decide
bet of 800 between his trainer, Charles
Mccarthy, and Col. Boyd, of Coles circus.
The course was around the sqaure fifteen
times for the three miles. The little brute
did not relish walking through the slush
with which the streets were covered, and
had to be prodded vigorously before he
could be induced to start. A crowd of
5000 persons witnessed the race.
The elephant made the first lap-one-
fifth of a mile in one and quarter min
utes, and the first mile in 1928. His trainer,
who ran by his side, applied the prod until
blood trickled from the wounds thus in
ficted. The second mile was finished in
15:46, and the rapid pace was beginning to
tell on both man and beast. At the begin
ming Of the third mile Mccarthy spurred
Gil the tagging rachyderm with resounding
thwacks and vigorous prOds behind tie
ear. At the end of the fourteenth lap, when
one more round would nave finished the
race, blood was flowing freely from the
beasts head, and Sergeant Searles stopped
the proceedings, arresting the attendant
for cruelty to animals. The fourteen laps
were made in 22:25.

Franco-Prussian Afr lean Possession.

BERLIN, Feb. 3.-The proposed agree
ment between France and Germany re-
garding their respective possessions on the
west coast of Africa, and in the South
seas has been submitted to the reichstag.
The agreement contains an amicable un-
derstanding with respect to the rival
claims of the two powers to the territory
lying on Blafra bay, Germany surrendering
her assumed sovereignty and protectorate
over all that part of the country lying
south of the river Campo and France
abandoning any territory north of that
river. France recognizes a German pro-
tectorate over the Logo territory, Porto Sc
guere, and Little Popo, on the Guinea
coast, the frontiers of which are to be fixed
by commission, the starting place to be a
point on the coast between Little Popo and
Agoona. Germany renounces all claim to
the territory Oh the coast of Seguire, be-
tween Rio Nunez and Mellecarew espec-
tally, and agrees to refrain from imposing
any obstacle. France agrees to put the
Hamburg firm of c )lin upon the same foot
ing as the French firms in Koiba, and con-
cerning freedom of trade, the acquisition of
land and the payment of taxes and Gus
toms.

More Mormon Rascality.

SALT LAKE CITY, February 2.-Governor 2.
Murray second veto message to the legisla-
ture is of joint resolution providing for a
compilation of the laws at cost of $1O,-
600. His reasons are that the territorial
auditor and treasurer are not legal officers.
They are serving long after the expiration
of their terms, on worthless bonds, and
should not have the disbursement of public
moneys; second, many OF the statutes of
Utah are in direct violation of the laws of
congress, and the government will never
consent to spend the public funds to con-
tinue them in the statute book, to the mis-
leading of the people. The legislature ap-
pointed committee to confer with the
governor, whose real purpose is to discuss
the question OF filling these Offices.

A Talk With Oaks.

ST.. PAUL, February General Mana
ger Oaks, of the Northern Pacific railroad,
states that at the New York meeting of the
board of directors the following franchises
were considered, but not decided upon:
From Spokane Falls up the valley of Hang
mans creek to the Paleuse country. and
thence to Lewiston, at the junction of
Snake and Clearwater rivers. This line
would be built by the eastern Washington
Railway company, organized for that pur-
pose; also line from Drummond to Phil
lipsburg for mining business:a a southern
branch from Ten Mile creek, Helena and
Benton were talked of. In regard to the
Butte road he says: IF arrangements are
not made in the Immediate future whereby
the Northern Pacific can run its own cars
into Butte, we will build our line there, and
that at no distant day." He thought that
the sale Of the companys land east of the
Missouri would be completed, and stated
that the Northern Pacific express would
continue as an independent line.

alton had been made for the meeting of the
Minnesota State Dairymen's association at

who had worked so hard to have every
thing in readiness found the weather king
had little regard for their plans. Incoming
trains were all more or less delayed and the
arrival of delegates was so slow that it was
thought best to postpone the opening ses-
sion until this afternoon. Notwithstanding
the temporary delay, the prospects are
bright for most successful meeting. More
than 200 membership tickets have been
sold, and the banquet to be given by the
citizens to the members and guests will be
worthy of the association.

IRON HIGH WAYS,
Another Railway Mutual Protection As
sOciatiOn Formed

sociation Formed.
CHICAGO, Feb. 3-In accordance with a
call by Chairman Ingalls,, of the commit
tee of eighteen" there was held here today
meeting of the representatives of the
roads west of Buffalo, and east of the
Mississippi participating in the east bound
freight traffic The attendance was excep-
tionally large, the only notable absentee
being the Chicago & Atlantic. The pur-
pose of the meeting was to organize an as
sociation similar in scope to the eastern
trunk line pool. 1t was taken for granted
that this was but resuscitation of the old
Central Traffic association, which has been
dormant since its last meeting, in New
York. A motion electing George R.
Blanchard to the office of commissioner
was carried by acclamation. His salary
was fixed at $4,000 per annum.
The old agreement adopted in April
last was continued in force until the COM
missioner has succeeded in the formation
OF system of sub-pools, when he is to call
meeting and submit any requisite
amendments 1t was agreed the pool
should take effect from the 1st inst. A
committee was appointed to consider the
IeStrlcClOn OF passes, IN measure recently
adopted by eastern trunk lines, and ad-
journment was taken subject to the call of
the chairman.
This pool, if successful, will govern all
freight east bound by set of rules and
rates that will parcel out to the roads in
the agreement and totally eliminate COM
petition. Regarding the absence of any
Chicago & Atlantic representative, the
Times tomorrow will say !: "It emphasizes
the statement that that road will decline
tons with the Erie and it future position is
fully determined. The Chicago & Atlantic
has not yet signed the contract of the Chi
cago pool, and nobody will argue that with
the Chicago pool in operation there is II
possibility of carrying out the objects OF
the Central Traffic association.
