CROSS MURDER CASES.
Attorney General Miller Has Confessed

Attorney General Miller Has Confessed
Error.
CANTON, o., Dec. IA private teie-
gram received here from Washington
says Attorney General Miller has con-
fessed error in the United States supreme
conrt in the conduct OF the Hay
camp killing case, in which
seven men were sentenced to die on De-
cember 10 by the United Seates court for
the Northern district OF Texas. This
will probably reverse the verdict and
sentence of the Texas court. Capt.
Cyrus Frease of the Nineteenth o. V.
L., formerly OF this county, and
six other citizens of Hugotop, Kan.
we're indicted for the killing OF Sheriff
Cross aud two companions from Woods
dale, Kan, whose bodies were found in
Lo- Man ISLAND. Ths evidence was all
circumstancal. Sam Woods. a Woods
dale leader, was shown to have
worked the prosecution and it is
claimed 500 GOO was spent in the name
of the government TO convict these men.
Grand Army men and various society or
CARNATIONS all over the country have
been moving in behalf of the prisoners.
one of whom WAS county
commissioner, and another
congressional candidate. Senator
Henderson of Nebraska has been active
in behalf Of the prisoners. The question
of jurisdiction OF the court of the North
ern district of Texas over No Man 9 Land
is involved in the case, and is now being
argued by Judges Dillon of New York,
Peck Of Topeka and Day of Canton.

The greater portion Of the increase in
the taxable values of Texas for the past
year was in the territory west of Fort
Worth. Build the Albuquerque, and
still more closely bind the coming en-

You may well say 'the coming en-
pre, - for this section of country here

our own state, and we need aud will
have a railroad, and If Fort Worth won't
help us build it, We will look up SONS

FORT woRTH's PAY ROLL.
One of the chief reasons why For,

. heavy weekly pay roll. Between
$500 and 1000 men are paid OF

by railroads, factories and kindred en-.
terprises. These people make something
of value or convert the raw material into

wherewith to do 80, with no other reward
than the consciousness of duty well done.
The burden Is no slight one, and Imposes
heavy draft on the few charged with it.
To enlarge the homo and make it IN
every respect adequate to the needs OF
such an institution, some other and
better means OF sustaining it must be
found. II has been found well nigh i'm
possible to do this by private means.
Not being public institution the state.

move, IL possible, this objection TO state
help, the John B. Hood camp has signi-
fed its willingness TO turn over
to the state the home and all
moneys and property belonging there
to. II the transfer can be made
satisfactorily to all concerned, the home
will become state institution, perhaps
by little straining of the fundamental
law, which enumerstes and defines the
character OF public institutions that may
be established. Law or no law, it should
be the duty OF the state to maintain this
institution, as work of charity and hu-
manity, and some way should be devised
to do l.. While the North, and the
whole country for that matter, is spend
ing millions in pensions to all sorts of
men, worthy and unworthy. Texas does
nothing for he- handful of broken and

the Fort Worth people deserve q great
deal Of credit for what they have done for them

her to be more than fifty years Of age, SO bright
and intelligent is she.

The directors also recommended that favor
able mention be made Of the very excellent dis
play of building stone made by Burnet county,
which is said by competent judges to be as fine
at the country produces. The specimens SINH
lar to that from which the state capitol is bnilt
and the magnificent shafts at the main entrance
TO the Palace are especially fine.
The COMMITTEES also recommended mention OF
the handsome red sandstone from Reeves
county, which is quite ornamental, as well as
possessing the quality ofcheapuess.
II is due to the counties represented to say
that all Texas appreciates their efforts 10 make
the Palace as faithful representative of her re-
sources As their several sections afforded, and
nll praise should be accorded those who have
spent their time and money in endeavoring to
place Texas first among the commonwealth Of
the Union,
