Terrible Holocaust.

A fearful holocaust occurred about
nine miles southwest Of Vernon, in
Wilbarger county, Texas, on the night
before last. A family, consisting OF
seven persons, named Dorsey had been
to church at some distance from home
and retired at a late hour, sleeping up
stairs in the second story Of the house.

The Survivors Blameless.

The court martial investigating the
loss of England's battle ship, Victoria,
and seeking to place the responsibility
for that disaster where it properly be-
longs. has rendered a decision COM
pletely exhonerating Capt. Maurice
A. Bourke, of the lost ship. The
court found that no responsibility at
tached to him, and he was acquitted
of all blame.
Capt. Bourke, before the verdict OF
acquittal, read an elaborate defense OF
his actions, and closed by paying an
eloquent tribute to the lost officers and
crew who stood SO bravely by their
posts.
Capt. Bourke's sword was returned
to him by Admiral Culme Seymour,
amid general congratulations. The
court, in its further finding, expressed
regret that Rear Admiral Markham,
who was in command of the port col
umn, did not carry out his original in
tention and ignore the fatal signal dis
played by the Victoria.
The verdict was that the accident
was due entirely to the order given
by Admiral Tryon. All the survivors
were acquitted. The court stated that
it would be fatal to the best interests
of the service to say that Admiral
Markham was to blame for carrying
out the orders of Admiral Tryon who
was present in person.

More Houses Wanted in Rocky Ford.

There are not enough dwelling
houses in Rocky Ford. Not sim
gle one is now offered for rent, and
there are new people who desire
to locut. with us who cannot Sc
cure a house to live in. 1t is thus
every fall, but this year there is q
new attraction offered. The pub
lie school facilities have been in
creased, one year of higher study
being added to the course. This
will cause number Of farmers to
move to town and an. unusual de-
mand for houses is expected dur
ing the next month. This is a good
showing in the midst of the gem
eral depression. Local capitalists
should see that this want of new
dwellings is supplied, for two reas-
ons: The profit from the invest
ment, and that all who desire to
become citizens may find places
of residence, that the natural
grow tn of the town be not OBJ
structed.

Bean Growing Profitable.

A.P. Kouns of Rocky Ford has given
the growing of string beans a fair trial
and finds them profitable crop. He
this year planted II acres from which
he gathered three tons and 200 pounds
from the first picking. He is confident
that fully two tons more would have
been harvested had the frost remained
of a week longer. For the amount har-
vested he received $94. By planting
early and getting the benefit Of the full
season Mr.. Kouns estimates that he can
net 500 per acre growing beans for the

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 81

To the south and southwest of
the country we traversed lies
thousands Of acres Of as beautiful
farming land as the sun shines on.
! Its slopes are gentle and perfectly
adapted to irrigation. The soil
has been tested to an extent to
prove its adaptation to all the pro-
ducts of the temperate zone. 1t is
being rapidly settled by an intel
ligent and pushing class of farm
ers, and in agricultural and horti-
cultural developement will not be
outdone by any portion of the rich
and progressive Arkansas valley.
In the evening we attended the
musicale at Fowler's highly cred
table school house. The two
rooms were comfortably crowded
with young and old, and an ex-
cellent musical program we'll rem
dered. We have not space for de-
tail nor individual mention, but
the exercises were enjoyable
throughout. The following young
ladies' and gentlemen took part:
Mesdames A. Lee, Hutchinson,
Reed, Misses NJ. l.. Smith, Nellie
and Mary Sims, Ada Hutchinson,
Messrs. Horace Hutchinson, Win
Reed, DIR. w. w. Reed.
In an adjoining room elegant
refreshments were served, ice
cream, cake, chicken sandwiches,
coffee, etc, and all had good time.
Fowler has as good looking lot
of young people especially girls
as can be found anywhere.
We lodged comfortably for the
night with w. H. Allen, who is
hotel keeper as we'll as station
agent. As we wanted to take the
early train the alarm clock was
brought into use. MIR Allen said
that the "bloody thing" always
went off one hour before the time
it was set for. Mrs Allen said no,
that its variation from the dial in
dication was two hours. Hence,
we went to bed, to sleep the sleep
of the Just, confronted with hy-
pothetical situation and delight
ful uncertainty as to the time we
should be awakened. Neither Mr.
nor Mrs Allen guessed within 20
minutes of the chronological &C.
centricity of that alarm clock,
but we made the train in good
shape and on time.
