Editor LIGHT:
A son of Aug. Ebert, the well
known ginner and farmer, had the
misfortune to fall from an ambulance,
while driving home, and to sustain
severe injuries. A physicion was
called for and the wounds were
dressed. The boys wounds are very
painful but not dangerous.
Mr.. H. T. Otto, telegraph opera
tor and a former resident of this place,
but now of Walker station, arrived
here in a very sick condition, being
affected with malarial fever, and is
now confined to his bed at his uncle's
house, who is taking good care of the
patient. The doctor expects tn see
Mr.. Otto we'll again in short time.
The writer of this hopes that the short
time will be only few days.
The farmers are in good spirits now
and expect to make bale of cotton TO
the acre. A rain would help cotton a
great deal now, but even if it should
not rain any more, a fair crop will be
made. There will be a good deal of
corn harvested around here this year,
and farmers will not be obliged to
buy corn to feed their stock with, as
was the case last year.
Several parties are buying cattle
around here, mostly yearlings and
two year olds. The price paid for
yearlings ranges from 81 to S4 IL, and
for two year Odds from Sc to 81. One
party bought about 240 head of ones
and two's at New Berlin, and while
driving them to Converse station a
stampede occurred from some un-
known cause, and the boys were kept
in lively motion for some time.
Finally the cattle were gathered
again, but, after counting them, 40
head were found to be missing. A
party of boys started off to look for
the runaways and according to the
last Geographic report all were found
but six.
Miss Augusta Haenel is here visit
ing her relatives and friends, from

Martin Ludwig Rieschke Attempts
Suicide by Jumping Into the
Delaware.

Martin Ludwig Rieschke Attempts
Suicide by Jumping Into the
Delaware.
In accordance with the orders of the
secretary of state, Martin Ludwig
Rieschke, of San Antonio, was taken
from Jackson, Miss, to New York,
there to be delivered in the hands of
the German consul general in that
CITY. En- route to New York Rieschke
was permitted to be without hand
cuffs and shackles, and in passing the
bridge over the Delaware at Tren ton,
New Jersey, on Saturday last, he
Jumped from the window of the cars
into the river. The train was at once
stopped, and Rieschkewas recaptured
wet but uninjured and was taken on
to his destination.
1t was arranged to send Rieschke
to Germany by the North German
Lloyd's steam "Werra," but when
the officers arrived with the prisoner
the ship had started. Hiring a steam
tug the party set out for the ship and,
after lively chase, it was overhaul
ed, Rieschke and the officers got
aboard, and are now en- route for Ger
many. To prevent any further at
tempts at suicide, Rieschke will be
confined under lock and key during
the voyage.
1t is said that a shepherd was ar
rested for the murder of sky,
and after remaining in prison for some
time he committed suicide. The Off
GERS claim that there is sufficient evil
dence to convict both the Rieschkes,
father and son, of this cruel murder
and robbery, and if that be so,
Rieschke will get a speedy exit from
the world without the trouble of sui
Gliding.

Whale Boats.

TN answer to several enquiries con-
Il corning Whale Boat Frames, we
have now in course of construction,
3 Whale Boat Frames "a feet by 80 feet
long. These frames are bent in one
piece of oak, and held to shape, thus
requiring little tact to set them up and
build. The full frame for such boats,
including cants, 45 sections i'll number,
is sold at $2S; with large stems on keel,
and ready to plank $40. They are not
intended to be clinker built, nor as the
frail imported whale boats proper, but
are intended for rough use and durabi-
lily, yet light withal, for fishing and
trading purposes. We have exported
these frames and intend dong so, and
make this offer to amateurs and others
DESTROYS of trying their hand, with
plenty of leisure and small cash to make

BOWIE AND HIS KNIFE.
How He Came to Invent the Famous
Weapon Of Ofenss and Defense.

How He Came to Invent the Famous
Weapon Of Onense and Defense.
The bowie-knife was the invention OF
Colonel James Bowie, a famous frop-
tiersman, who was born in Logan Coun-
ty, Ky, in 1896. In 1914 he settled on
a small piece Of land, where he lived
by numbering, fishing and hunting,
soon afterwards made considerable
money by speculating in negroes and
in real estate, removed TO Texas ana
married the daughter Of Ex-Governor
Berrymenda. In 1s29-30 he engaged
actively in the revolution In that coun.
try, and closed his career In the bloody
battle OF the Alamo. His knife Is said
TO have been invented while he was con.
fined TO his bed in the city OF Natchez
from the effects Of a wound received in
border fray. He was a man Of much
mechanical ingenuity, and whitfield
from a piece of white pine the model OF
hunting-knife, which he sent TO two
brothers named Blackman in the city
OF Natchez and told them 70 spare no
expense in making duplicate Of il in
steel. This was the origin Of the dread.
ed bowie-knife. II was made from a
large saw-mill file and its temper after
ward improved upon by the Arkansas
blacksmith. II is said by Dursnd In
his " History Of the Philadelphia
Stage " that the knife which Edwin
Forrest used in "Metamora was the
original bowie-knife, and he tells this
story about It:
Very many years ago Bowie owned
a plantation at Bayou Terrebonne. A
Spanish neighbOr constantly annoyed
the Colonel with petty insults until at
last his conduct became so unbearable
that Bowie challenged the naughty
hidalgo. The latter accepted and
named knives as the weapons 10 DO
used, and also stipulated that the com
batants were TO be seated vis-a-vis
astride OF trestle, as on a horse, the
four legs Of the trestle 10 be buried
about a foot in the earth, so that IL
could not by any possibility be over
turned. Each OF the principals was
permitted 10 use in the duel whatever
kind Of knife he might select BOwia
had a short knife, with broad blade,
sharp at the point and with a razor's
edge made for himself. When the COM
batants met on the ground named.
BOwie's knife excited the ridicule Of
his adversary. The result. however,
proved the superiority OF the bowie-
knife TO the long Spanish cOuteau-de-
classe used by his antagonist The
men took their seats on the trest,e,
both naked 10 the waist. At the
agreed-upon signal the Spaniard drew
back his hand, armed with the long
Knife, TO make "A lunge. Bowie, how
ever, thrust the knife straight forward
into the body Of his enemy and then
drawing IL quickly across, disem-
boweied the Spaniard In the twinkllng
OF an eye. Bowie presented the knife
he used In the duel 10 Edwin Forrest
during visit the great tragedian
made 10 tho Colonel at his plantation.

The sugar TrnaI.


SAN Francisco, July l5.-When Claus
Spreckles announced that he would fight
the great sugar trust single handed every
one prophesied that he would come 10 grief
in spite Of his millions. Now the first VIC
tory for Spreckles in the fight must be re-
corded. When the trust was formed
few months ago the officers began
not only 10 corner refined sugars,
but 10 include In the squeeze the raw pro-
duct. They Of course pinched the pro-
ducer as well as the consumer. The result
Of this vas that they boomed the raw arti-
Gle, but caused hand-tO-mOuth buying Of
the refined product. Claus Spreckles saw
through this little game, and quietly cap
italizing his resources bought all the raw
sugar he could secure. Now the rehners
ind that they have largely oysrsold re-
fined sugars; that the raw product IL be-
yond their reach and they are obliged %
send 70 Europe for raw material.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, July 16.-News OF n

stood amOng other guests. Rays
friends chased Graham away, he barely
escaping with his life. He threatened to
kill Ray on sight and Ray was advised to
be ON his guard. Saturday at midi light
Ray was awakened by noise In his he'd
room and, raising himself in his bed he
saw a man whom he took to be Graham
standing motionless near the doorway.
Snatching his revolver, he fred at the in
truder, who, with an inarticulatc cry, t6tl

by the noise and an investigation showed
that Ray had fatally shot his brother, JEFF
