lows of Texas, has issued the fol-
! lowing proclamation:
OFFICE GRAND MASTER,
|. .. O. f. OF TENAS.
CORSICANA, Tex, April 30.
To the Odd Fellows of Texas:
The morning papers of today are
freighted with the details of an aE-
palling calamity, which has fallen
OH one of the most prosperous COM
munitieS of our state. On last
Wednesday our seVenty-fOurth an
niVersary was celebrated at the
little city of Cisco, and the men,
bers of our lodge of that locality,
together with thousands of other
citizens of Eastland and adjacent
counties, heard from the lips of our
accredited speakers the professions
we make of caring for the sick and
dying, and of relieving those who
are in distress.
On last Friday night terrific
cyclone visited this same little city
and left death and destruction in
its wake, the city being almost en-
tirely demolished. Full details
are not Obtainable at this hour, but
it is certain that there are many
killed and wounded and that an
enormous distress is entailed by
loss of property.
| call upon the Odd Fellows of
Texas to show those people, in
whose ears so lately sounded the
laudatiOnS of our order as an
agency for the relief of distress,
that 1--WE practice what we preach"
The three leading officers eff each
and every lodge of Odd Flows in
the state are hereby appointed
SPECIAL committees in their
respective localities to solicit con-
tributions from the members of the
order. These funds are to be
promptly forwarded to c. G. Nor
gan, w. F. Shook and G. C.. Fahm,
our grand secretary, all of Dallas,
who are hereby appointed our al
mOners in this behalf, and they,
under my direction, will see to a
proper application of the money.
AdVices so far do not indicate |
whether or not members of our
own order have suffered, but we
may safely assume that they have. |
like the good Samaritan,
whose deeds we profess to emulate,
we are not to inquire if the suffer-
prS be of our own faith or house
hold before extending needed re-
lief.
Please remember that you are |
Odd Fellows and that he who gives |
in effect gives twice, and |
let your responses be liberal. Do
not postpone action until lodge
and do not wait for any
more formal notice than the read
ing Of this proclamation, which all
of the state are hereby
earnestly requested to print.

Boyd's SLAYER Free

SEATTLE, June A-At l:l2 O'Clock
this morning one of the most sensa-
tional murder trials i'm the history OF
this city came to an end, and Ursula
Unfug Boyd, the slayer of Thomas
Henderson Boyd, walked from the
court room free woman, while OF
the crowd, who anXiously waited the
result, the men yelled themselves hoarse
for joy, and every lady in the room in
sisted on kissing the defendant.
When court opened yesterday morn
ing Mrs. Boyd again took the stand,
and was subjected to a most rigid cross
examination, but it was impossible to
shake her testimony. The letters from
her to Boyd were brought forward, but
thu court refused to allow them to be
introduced, saying practically that no
further evidence was needed to show
Boyd IA man deserving sudden death at
some ones hands. Mrs. Boyd again
told the story of the tragedy, and be-
fore a thousand people, with "A pointer
showed on chart the positions occu-
pied by herself and Boyd at the time
AT 1913 the jury retired, and till the
verdict was rendered none of the large
crowd left their places. Mrs. Boyd was
smiling when the jury went out, but as
the time went on and they did not
come in, her face heightened and
finally the tears welled up i'm her eyes,
and she retired to private room.
When the verdict of acquittal was rem.
dered, she was presented with flowers
by admiring friends.

Ell Taylor, of New Whatcom, was
held up by highwaymen last night on
Front street, near the gas works. He
was in Fairhaven during the evening
and started for home about midnight.
Just before reaching the gas works he
met two men, who commanded him to
throw up his hands. The odds were
against him and he did as he was told.
The highwaymen then searched him
and took what money he had, about
$50, and left. Taylor has a partial des-
cription of the robbers and they are
thought to belong to gang of suspic-
ious characters who have been hanging
around Whatcom for the past few
days.

A Woman Poisoner

ST. LOUIS, June 24-Maud McKib-
ben is under arrest charged with the
murder of her father, John McKibben,
and her sister, Mrs. Charles Stewart, by
poison administered on last Friday.
Her father died on Tuesday, and her
sister yesterday. More than this, she
has practically admitted her guilt, and
is expected to make a confession, for
she is evidently weakening under the
accumulation of evidence against her,
and the efforts of the police to induce
her to give statement of the case.
The cause of the crime is as yet merely
surmised, but it undoubtedly had its
origin in the efforts of her father and
sister to keep her home at night, and
to keep her away from Objectionable
cOmDanions
