The Matter With Mills.

Roger @. Mills of Texas was hard
pushed in his race for the Senate, and
he had to do something which, he no
doubt disliked-he was obliged to make
an alliance with the railroads, and

Mills did his best to keep clear OF
the factional fight for reasons OF self
interest, but when he was obliged to
make o choice, he sided with the cor

so that his only hope of the Senate lay
in the corporation alliance.
He made it accordingly. Remember
it and you will have no difficulty in un-
derstand.ng why he is becoming more
and more ola Tory, and is more and
more willing to be put forward as the
champion of every Tory measure.
He thinks that is his only chance OF
keeping in Texas politics. 1t is, but it
is no chance at all. Hogg and the
farmers will certainly take his scalp

A SAD EXCURSION.
Hiram A. HarfOrd's Death
on the Track.
ne Was One of the Veteran Firemen
Who Recently Made an Extensive
Tour Through the East.

Hiram A. Hartford, who left this city
Tuesday, September 10. with the Vete-
ran Fremen of California on their pill
erimage to the East. was killed by pas
senger train on the Southern Pacific road
at little station called Desert on Sunday
night. His identity was disclosed by the
inscription, "California Veteran" written
in his cap, causing reporter to look up
the notes of the firemen who accom- panied
the excursion East and finding his name in
the list.
A telegram from Wadsworth TO the
officials in the general Office Of the South
ern Pacific yesterday stated that Con-
ductor Martin Of the second division of
No. 2, westbound passenger train, had
identified the man killed as passenger
ON his train as far as Wadsworth. The
conductor states that the man acted very
strangely on the train and thought he was
travelling IN the wrong direction. He
probably got off the train at Wadsworth
and started back on the road. He met
tramp on the road Sunday near where he
was killed and said that he had walked
from one end of the road 10 the other.
The first intimation the train crew had
of the disaster was on arrival at Hot
Springs at 5:15 yesterday morning. when
a cap and blood spots were noticed on the
pilot of the engine. The cap was marked
California Veteran" The crew of the
following train was notified by telegraph
to look out for the body and found it one
half mile east Of Desert. On the body was
found a first-class ticket, reading from
Ogden to San Francisco. and stamped Lin
coin. Neb. 1t was signed by Hiram A.
Hartford.
Mr. Hartford ACCOMPANIED the excursion
party as far as New York, where he bid
his comrades good-by. and stated that
he was going mp TO Boston. his old home,
10 visit relatives and friends in that city
and vicinity. None of his friends in the
party noticed anything strange in his de-
meanor, and they are unable to account for
the strange actions attributed to him by
the contents Of the dispatch printed.
Mr.. Hartford was for over twenty years
a special policeman on Fourth street, be-
tween Market and Howard. He was
ship-calker by TRACE and worked at that
occupation for some years in this city be-
fore entering upon his police duty.
Several months ago brother of his died
and left him few thousand dollars. which
Mr.. Hartford placed In bank. The last his
son (who is now temporarily filling his
position as watchman) heard of him was
several weeks ago, when his father iele-
graphed him for remittance.
The dead man was one of the members
of the old Volunteer Engine Company Z.
and was member of both the Exempt and
Veteran Fhemen's organizations.
One of the veterans who was with the
party on its excursion explained the fact
of Mr.. Hartford wearing a cap by the
fact that he had lost his freman's hat

A Document Turns Up After Five
Months Deiay.


The long lost will of Henry Martin, de-
it disappeared. 1t was found yesterday
afternoon lying in a chair in the County
Clerks Office.
Henry Martins estate has been the sub
ject of some litigation since the testator's
death in the early part Of the present
year. By will which was dated May 6,
1890. the testator beoueathed the whole of
his estate, valued at upward Of 100000
to his widow, May E. Martin. This will
was flied aud afterward admitted to pro-
bate.
Shortly after this a second and later
will turned up, by which the testator's es-
tate was bequeathed to nephew. minor,
Mrs. Isabella Martin, brought suit on be-
half of her child for revocation OF probate
OF the first and the admission to probate of
the second will. And almost simultane-
ously with the filing of this suit came the
unaccounta BILE disappearance of the origi-
nal will from among the papers of the
estate.
BY this time the will had been copied
aud duly recorded in the books Of the Pro-
bate Court, so that what any one had to
gain by stealing the original has not yet
been discovered. Nevertheless, the miss
lu6 uOcHDtuS was ctdECHtu lOT DlSu anu

and as the months flew by the County
Clerk gave up the document for lost.
Yesterday afternoon, as Attorney Frank
lin p. Bull was passing through the County
Clerks Office he espied paper lying ne
elected on a chair. He picked 1t up and
handed it to Deputy County Clerk Heney
with the remark that some one had been
very careless in leaving documents of pro-
bate value lying around. 1t was the miss

SALE AT PALO ALTO.
Selling Off the Surplus Horses and

y
Last Saturday WAS Cleaning I'D" day
at the Palo Alto farm. about sixty head of
work horses and large number of wag-
ons. harness, plows. harrows and other
farming implements being disposed of.
This move is in accordance with the de-
termination arrived at by Mrs. Stanford
to practically abandon the carrying on of
extensive operations on the farm in the
future. Following the advice of friends
she has, through her manager of the prop
erty. Mr.. Reynolds, rented ont about two
thirds OF the Palo Alto property during the
past few weeks to desira bic tenants who
will work the ground ''on shares" paying
one-third OF their crops for the use of the
land.
The old method of operating the farm
was found TO be too expensive, so much
time being lost by employees in travelling
TO and from the remote portions of the
farm that comparatively little work could
be done,
