Last fall a German from Brenham
was robbed of $65. Suspicion pointed
to the four Thomas boys. and they con-

saying they had given $40 Of the money

money, and on Sunday evening last
the four Thomas boys. according to
their confession, decided to either COL

Daniels clubbed to death trying to pro-

Daniels and his stepdaughter were
thrown into the house and the child
thrown into the we'll. The house was set
on fire and the devils capable of such
crime left thinking that they had coy-
cred their inhuman deed from the sight
OF the world. The fire had not attracted
much attention, but when Daniels and
his people did not show up, the charred
location of the house was searched and
the terrible truth was soon only too
plain. The burned remnants of human
bodies left no doubt in one direction,

A FORGER ARRESTED.
James Lyle Worked at the SmeIter
And
RAISED HIS PAY CHECK
So That It Read S7.45 Instead of &1.45-
He Is Now in the County Jail
Awaiting TrisI-Only Sew
enteen Years Old.

On October fifth, a young man
named Jas. Lyle was paid off at the
smelter with a check to Northrup's
Bank where all the checks are paid,
but when he slid 1t across the paying
teIler's window, the check lead 81 As.
OF course in day or two the differ
ennce was noticed and it was dis.
covered that the check had been
raised.
The young man left for Missouri
soon after cashing the check and it
was some time before any trace of him
was found. The Lanyon Spelter Co.,
has agents in nearly all the mining
towns of Missouri and they at once
sent word to these to be on the look
out for a young man bearing Lytles'
description. Word at last came from
the agent at Aurora. Mo-, that Lyle
was there and Sheriff Hobart went
over last Thursday and brought him
back Sunday. He is now in the
county Jail bound over in the sum OF
$500.
Jas. Lytle is youth about seven
teen years OLD and so far as we have
heard has heretofore borne a good
reputation. His love for money, how
ever. has landed him in Jail and he
has the peniteptiary awaiting him.
His crime comes under two charges,
forgery and passing forged check.
The amount he realized was small and
the conviction certain and the penalty
severe, all of which may benefit others
who are tempted in a similar manner,
but which Lyle probably realizes
now when it is too late.

New BUSINESS Firm

Several days ago two gentlemen,
Messrs. J. w. Hayes, of Walker, Mo-,
and Mr.. Caldwell, from the same
county, came TO lola to look around
for business opening. They met
Mr.. McClain and plan was arranged
for the sale of the latter's store as he
had desired to retire from active busi-
ness for some time. Mr.. Caldwell was
not exactly satisfied and the deal was
declared off, elmer McClain aud Mr..
Hayes, however, got together on a
new scheme and together bought the
stock and store of Mr.. McClain and
will continue the business.
Mr.. Hsyes~is pleasant gentleman
who has had long experience in the
general mercantile business in Wal
ker, Mo-, where he has been very sue
cessful and has amassed considerable
wealth including hundreds o
acres of Missouri land. Mr.. Hayes
likes our gas and wants to get into
business here and make this his home.
Elmer McClain is we'll known here as
an upright, carSful business man and
the new firm ought to succeed from
the start.
Mr.. Caldwell has not yet decided as
to his future course, but he will re-
turn to Missouri for the present and
may return here later.

Narrow Escape.

About nine O'Clock last Saturday
while DIR. a. J. Fulton was making
his morning round of professional
visits his team ran away and threw
the doctor out. He had just left a
bottle of medicine at MIR. Harry
Thomas and was turning the buggy
around when the spindle of the left
front wheel broke in the hub letting
the bed of the buggy down on the
ground. This frightened the team
which, already dancing ON account Of
the cold, started on a run. The buggy
turned completely over and the doctor
and the top of the buggy were left in
the road. The team ran to the barn
and were presumably frightened
away by billy-goat in the barn. 1t
continued west and turned down
Western street and finally brought up
against hitching post in front of w
l.. Allison's house.
Mr.. Fulton in speaking of the &C.
cident said he was not hurt in the
least but has not the slightest idea
how he escaped unless he slid out
through one of the wheels. The bug
gy was badly torn up, but the doctor
principally regrets the effect on the
team. He valued it highly as the
horses were excellent travellers and
were so well trained that they would
not shy at threshing engine at
night on the road.
However, he is feeling pretty good
that he is still in condition to feel
at all.

at the County Clerks Office last
week and examined the affidavits
of expenses at the recent election
which the law requires each candi-
date to file. There was large num-
Der who spent nothing at all, but the
various ways of stating so were rather
amusing. Some merely drew lines
across the page, some said, Moth
ing" and the favoTite statement of
the Humboldt contingent was, 81

value to effect my election" One

The matter of hats for the fire com.
pany came up again and was recon-
sidered. Frank Travis was delegated

reason was that the boys had absO-
lutely no head protection from sparks
and burning timbers and their lives
were endangered at every fire. since
then members of the company have
expressed themselves as unwilling to
put the city TO such expense at pres
ent. Mayor Taylor was instructed

and if he deemed it advisable. to tele-
graph and oountermand the order

Telephone and Business Directory
of the City of lola, 1875" is the title
of very neat o6-page pamphlet just
issued from the REGISTER job office.
1t contains first an explanation of
the system under which the houses
are numbered, next a telephone di-
rectory, next all alphabetical list of
the heads of families, including young
men who are engaged in business for
themselves, with the street and num-
Der of their residence and place of
business. and lastly map Of lola.
showing the location and name of all
the streets on the original tOwnsite.
In preparing this book the REGIS
TER had to take upon itself the work
and the responsibility of numbering
the houses,-work which it was real
ly the business of the city to do, but
which it had made no provisions for
doing. Mr.. F. w. Brewster, an en-
ployee of this office, spent ans entire
week at the task, and he did it so
carefully that when City Clerk Cowan
came to check up his work he found
no errors to correct. Hence it hap
pens that the REGISTER Directory is
the "original and only" authority in
the matter of numbering the houses.
The Directory is now on sale at this
office, price so cents. Only a..limited
edition was printed and as the price
is merely nominal when compared
with the convenience and value of
the book, we trust that it will meet
with ready sale.
