SINNER, TEX. THU, DEC. 9th, "a
A Ohristmns TragedY.

Christmas eve morning dawned
bright and fair, and the suns first
rays came dancing across the
broad prairies, flecked with snowy
cotton fields and dotted here and
there by farm houses and herds of
horse and cattle. Tomorrow would
be Christmas day and the old
farmer told his children at break
fast that they need not pick any
cotton either that day. or the next.
"You have all been mighty good
and industrious this year and have
worked hard, so guess I will try
and get help to pick out ths rest of
the cotton and let you all go to
school after New Year" After
breakfast he hitched up his wagon
and loading on two bales of cotton
which he had lying in his yard, he
started to town to do some Christ
mas trading. Sinner was crowded
with teams when he reached town.
The streets up by the post office
and Front street were jammed
with wagons. People were hurry
ing hlther and thither in crowds,
intent on buying plenty of good
things for Christmas. Unloading
his cotton at the cotton platform,
he drove back to the store and
commenced looking up Christmas
presents for his children at home.
There were eight of them, three
girls and five boys, and he recalled
with pride how hard they had
worked all fall picking out the cot
ton, and he made up his mind to
give each of them happy Christ
mas, if it was in his power.
III was about noon when ne I'M
loaded his cotton, and the afternoon
slipped away rapidly while he went
from store to store trying to buy
everything nice he could think of.
1t was just getting dark when he
finally got everything gathered up
and was ready to start home. He
had been around TO ths post Office
and Otto Richter had given him
his mail. He had bought toys of
Q. /. Jaeggii, Mittanck & Martens
and Ed Merseberger; had bought
a big sack of oranges and apples of
Uncle Ed Coleman. Gown in the
front end of his wagon lie had a
little brown jug that promised
plenty of eggnog, There were piles
and piles of bundles in the bottom
of his wagon and it seemed to him
like he had bought out half of

that still contained several green
backs and 4 big pile of silver.
"Thc children will be mighty
tickled when L get home with all
these things" he kept saying to
himself as he drove along.
Some miscreants must have seen
him display the money around
town and followed him. He was
within q mile of home when two
men on horses rode up behind him.
There was no moon and it was as
dark as pitch and he could not see
their faces. They trotted along
behind him a little way and then
suddenly rode up beside him.
Hands up, old man." cried one of
them, while the other rode around
in front,and stopped his team. Just
what followed nobody but the MUIR
derers know. 1t is supposed the
old man resisted when they tried
to rob him and they shot him. The
report of a gun was heard and then
the team was heard running away.
The old man was shot and fell
down in the bottom of the wagon.
The team frightened at the shot
and started to run and when they
reached little creek the wagon
was overturned and soon torn to
pieces. They heard the shot at
home and the the horses came run
ming up to the gate with the two
front wheels of the wagon, The
two oldest boys took lantern and
went back to look for their father.
a half mile from the house they
came upon parts of the wagon scat
tered along the road, "pm afraid
father is hurt" said the eldest of
the two, 1--WE could have met him
before now if he was all right"
Look there, brother, what is
that lying down there in the road?
1t looks like man." Hurrying
down they raised the lantern and
when it's rays fell on the silent
figure in the road they gave ter
rible cry of terror and grief, GA
ther, Fatherl" Lying at full
length across the road lay the old
man. his arms thrown out full
length on either side. A dark riv-
ulet of blood had trickled down
and formed a pool below him. His
shirt bosom was open and ragged
CHASTITY hole just over the heart
told the terrible tale. All around
him were strewed bundles, toys and
presents he was bringing home to
his little ones.

Walters, however. managed to give the
alarm, and Keeper James Lippincott heard
him and quickly came to the rescue M.li-

Lippincott drew his own revolver and or

Lippincott exchanged shots. lppiacott
was shot twice i'm the back during the fusil-

once.
The noise of the shooting aroused the

drawn pistols in their hands they overawed
MalwitZ, and succeeded in taking his pistol
from him. Then they locked him up in an
other cell.
1t was discovered that Malwitz had been
shot in the head, but was not badly hurt.
Malwitz a machinist and was very
skillful. He made the saw with which lie

and continued:
I'VE are in the decline of life; but shall

The need OF this is great. for all the old
conceptions Of honesty. justice. authority.

been overthrown- The church must seek
to recall the nations to the principles Of
moral faith. point out the true causes of
the existing evils. denounce the designs Of
Free Masonry. imbue the different classes Of
society with a feeling of equity and charity.
Inspire rulers with rectitude and the gov

ardor for peace.
TT is for the church to revive study in
accordance with the dictates OF Christian

dant harvest. In token whereof we give
