Austin, Tex, July 22--The friends
Of Ex-Governor Roberts were very
much distressed to learn OF the serious
tragedy in which his stepsou, Jack
Border, became involved. and which
resulted in the death of Manley Turn
er at the hands of Border yesterday
at Marble Falls
From the best information the Ca
zette man learns that hostilities have
existed between the men for some
time, growing out of n criminal prose-
cution by the police authorities against
Turner for the violation OF the liquor
law. Border was witness ana IL
was mainly upon his evidence that
Turner was convicted and subjected
to the payment OF a fine.
The sentiment OF the Marble Falls

letters necessarily could not have as wide
a circulation as they should, the journal
has printed it in full, that it may come to
every one of its thousands of readers here.
Let every reader aid in this good work, by
sending something, if not more than a
nickel or dime, to Miss Lena Chase, 20
East Chestnut street, Augusta Maine, to
aid along this noble charity which calls
for the sympathy of every parent and
every lover of children. And in giving,
let us all remember that che who giveth
quickly. giveth twice" 1t will take but
a moments thought and moments
trouble to put some money in an envelope
and mail it,
In case it would be more convenient,
we hope many of our readers will contri-
butte gifts or food Children have many
partly worn toys for which they have no
further use, which would be as good as
new for this purpose and which can be
left at the hall the gath inst. In aiding
this appeal, the Journal desires to call at
tention to the great amount OF quiet and
transformations philanthropic work that
these young women have done in various
WAYS in this city. Through their aid
scholars were given a course at the manual
training school, several poor men have
had their expenses betrayed at the Kelley
Institute; year ago they gave Christ
mas tree to the poor; not to speak OF the
hundreds of ways they have extended
charity and help, where it was greatly
needed. In the great amount of work
done by this organization they have pro-
ceeded so quietly and kept SO carefully
within their own lines that they have
never been criticized in any direction and
few have realized the amount OF WORK
done by them. Certainly every citizen
will desire to aid these young ladies, who
ouietly and without parade, undertake
sucb kind hearted and thoughtful acts OF
charity Let the response to their appeal
be prompt and in accordance with our IN
dividual ability, as every cent and dollar
will help along the good work.
