to sustain severe losses In performing this
duty, and it Is very rare that they receive
any public approval. 1t should be borne
constantly in mind that the National
Guardsman serves without pay, and that
to the allowances which are made by the
state for his equipment he contributes 10
uncomfortable sum of money out of his
own pocket. In addition to this must be
added the service which he is frequently
called upon to render. and which he rem
ders without hope of reward. In view of
all TINS there can be no question in the
mind Of an unprecedented observer that the
spirit OF patriotism is as strong among
those that belong to the National Guard
as prevails in any other army organization
that exists in this country.

New York. oct 25.-Bradstreet's will
say tomorrow: The volume of general
trade for two weelH has hardly
reached expectations and now assumes
the character OF between seasons.
Wholesale dealers in seasonable sta
pies, such as dry goods. clothing, hats
and shoes, are only doing fairly nc-
tive business. exceptions being Mt such
places as New York. Baltimore, Chi
cago. Kansas City and Duluth. A note
worthy feature Of the week Is the re-
vival OF demand for pig iron, the up
ward tendency In quotations OF lead
ing cereals and the liquidation In the
cotton market Sales of cotton, goods
have been helped by favorable weather
and eastern as well AS southern mills
are well sold up. Exports OF wheat,
flour included as wheat, from both
coasts of the United States this week
show an Increase over the total last
week OF about 1000 bushels due to in
creased exports from the Pacific coast
The total this week is 2,65s0O0 bushels

ciroumstantial, but so complete there
can be no doubt of how the crime was
committed. The theory is that Spear
man got out and went. behind the bug
gy on some excuse and shot his victim
in the back Of the head and he fell
forwarded In the foot of the buggy,
dead. He then hauled him across the
country, through woods and fields and
threw him In a creek.
When Spearman returned home In
the evening OF the same day, he went
over to a ncighbor whose daughter
had beer picking cotton for Stephens,
and asked II he owed them anything,
and said that If he did he (Spearman)
would pay it, as stephens had left
the country with woman.
Thus the matter stood until the
18th. when some of the boys in swimming
on the Josh Smith place, four miles
north of town, saw the hand of man
sticking out of the water. They went
TO the city water works near by, and
telephoned to Chief Deputy Sheriff
Sid Curtis that a drowned man had
been found In a creek and to come
out and bring Justice Perry, TO hold
an inquest, Mr.. Curtis notified Justice
Perry, and they went out in a buggy.
Arriving at the scene, they pulled off
their coats and vests. and dragged
the body out, finding 1t well anchored
tied with pieces Of pillow line. The
body was identified as that of Horace
stephens Discovering buggy tracks,
they followed them out of the field
and into the woods Mr.. Curtis CUES
toned several negroes who had
gathered there, and then went to the
Spearman place, finding him and Mat
tie stephens blowing together. brought
them In and locked them up. Deputy
Curtis had to 20 to Dallas ON the 27th.
and turned the case over to Deputy
Sherlff John w. Etheridge. to follow
the buggy tracks. and also to go to
Spearman's place and examine u new
looking buggy there, covered with corn
sacks, one of which had red stains on
it.
The corpse was so offensive that only
n slight examination was made. and at
the preliminary hearing on the 2Sth
Justice Perry released both parties on
a bond of 800 each.
Returning from Dallas, Deputy Cur
tbs learned of the release of Spearman
on 500 bond. and said to Etheridge,
that is too small a bond" and then
went before County Judge Pope and
made affidavit, and had warrant
