Texas COl0uists Sell Their Posses.

They Discover That They Have

Seattle, Wash. Nov. 19.-The meau-
eat land swindle ever carried out in
Washington has Just been discovered.
Already fifteen families have come to
Seattle from BremOnd, Tex, to take up
ager Of s:.e Washington. Farming land
company, said awaited them. These
people have found to their dismay that
the land company is a fake and that
Makowski has skipped the country.
Some idea OF the enOrmity Of this
swindlcr's crime can b. obtained when
it is known that each family sold out
all it's possessions in Texas at less
than half-value in order to secure
money sufficient to bring them to their
new home. 1t cost the party $1,000
for car fare alone, besides what they
paid Makowski. and now they are at
their destination without friends and
with little money. They are all Poles.
cOuntrymen Of the swindlcr
MakOwski has. 1t is understood. been
receiving money from people in other
places in Texas, and also in Illinois.
He has been getting money orders by
the hundreds, and the pOstOffice au.
thorities are looking him up. He op-
Grated in a very scientific manner,
and not one of the Texans have ever
seen him. He had an attractive "ad"
put in n Polish paper, the name of
which could not be learned. This
paper circulated among the Poles in
Texas. The advertisement gave its
readers to understand that the WASH
ington Farming Land Company of Sc
attle had strings on Il large tract of
valuable land, and that if 81 person de-
sired to take up n homestead the land
company would "locatc" him for $40,

charged with attempting to poison his
wife, Mrs. Hull was submitted to Il
rigid cross-cxamination but did not
change her testimony in the slightest
degree. From the questions asked by
tile attorneys for the defendant 1t is
evident that the defense will attempt
to show that Mrs. Hull is the victim of
hereditary insanity. and had frequent
ly threatened to commit suicide. The
officer, who arrested Hull testified that
Hull threw away a bottle. which the
officer recovered, containing nearly an
ounce of arsenic; also that he found
nearly an ounce of arsenic in IL pack
age in Hulls pocket when he was
searched. Blanche Hull, the thirteen
year-old daughter Of Rev. and Mrs.
Hull. testified regarding the scene in
the kitchen when her mother accused
her father of giving her poison. There
was trunk in the kitchen, and in this
Mrs. Hull charged her husband with
keeping the poison. Hull opened the
trunk in Blanche's presence and hasti-
ly took out n bottle. This she de-
clared to be the same as the one her
father attempted to throw away after
being arrested. She became confused
under crOss-examinatiOn and cried SO
that she was taken from the stand.

pose Of considering and reporting on
the regulations proposed. Continuing
the chancellor said that the chief
change in the regulations, as proposed,
was that. If an officer insulted another,
the matter should be left to the decis.

ment Of the court should never be
wOrtled in such way as to make q

recognition of such means of settling q

that these would be overcome with the
