Good Fishing in BurIeson.

Wednesday a party of sixty
men and boys from Caldwell took
a seine twenty five feet long and
twenty feet deep and fished in
Big Lake, near Lyons. They
caught about six hundred pounds
Of buffalo and casper goo. The
largest buffalo caught weighed
sixty pounds. The meshes of
the seine were so large that all
perch and trout went through. 1t
was designed only for big fish.
In the lake are catfish that weigh
over 100 pounds, but not single
cat was caught, as they hid in
the mud and the seine passed
over them.

Pecan Hunters Beware.

Many persons probably are not
aware that very stringent law
was passed by the last Legisla-
ture to prevent depredations upon
lands containing pecan trees.
Under it any person gathering
pecan nuts upon enclosed land
not owned, leased or controlled
by him, without the consent of
the owner, lessor or person in
control, or any person who shall
cut, destroy or injure pecan
timber upon lands not his own is
guilty Of a misdemeanor and
subject to a fine of not less than
So nor more than $500, or by i'm
prisonment in the county Jail not
more than three months, or by
both such fine and Imprisonment.
1t has been the custom heretofore
to gather nuts wherever found,
and persons may get into trouble
without knowing they are violat-
ing the law-hence this warning.

THE Chicago Tribune says that
Lyle Levi, who was lynched at
Versailles, Ind, Tuesday night,
was the last of the once notorious
Reno gang of desperadoes, who
for several years terrorized In
diana, Iowa and Kansas by the
boldness of their operations and
the extreme cruelty with which
they avenged themselves on those
who resisted them. OF a gang
of twenty desperate men, Levi
was the eleventh to meet his
death at the hands of lynchers,
the remaining known members of
the gang having died in prison
with the exception of John Reno,
the leader, who was pardoned
from a Missouri penitentiary a
few years ago, only to die year
later by disease.

stricken cattle, and through
which means the disease is COM
municated. To do this cattle
will be forced to swim through a

be death to ticks, but harmless to

THE Louisville Dispatch recalls
some history. 1t says: 'tSoon
after the republican congress
passed the Mckinley tariff bill
to protect labor, laborers were
shot down at Homestead, Pa, to
teach labor its place in the re-
publican plan of prosperity. The
passage of the Dingley bill was
followed by another lesson of the
same kind at Hazelton, Pa. The
very next election following the
passage of the Mckinley bill
overwhelmed the republican
party with defeat, and the indi-
cations are that a similar fate
Will befall it at the next election.

THE COURTS.
Criminal Docket in District Court Dis
posed of With the Exception of
Murder Cases-PTobate

Orders.
In district court Wednesday
the principal portion of the day
was consumed in the trial of
Minnie Lochridge, charged with
attempting to poison Jack Nor
man on the third Of last April
by putting rough on rats on his
mustard patch.
By the testimony of Marinda
Swearingen, an accomplish in the
poisoning, the State made a clear
case against the defendant, which
was corroborated by other eyi-
dence. This witness told all
about how Minnie made her get
the rough on rats out of the cell
ing of the house and go with her
to Jack Norman's garden and
put poison on the greens. She
claimed to have acted in the
matter through fear of the Lock-
ridge woman. She gave a
straight story, or rather confess
sion, almost dramatic at times in
its delivery. At the conclusion
of the argument the jury after a
short deliberation found the de-
PENDANT guilty and assessed her
punishment at eight years con-
finement in the penitentiary.
The charge of incest against
Mangrum Everett was reduced to
that of aggravated assault. To
this he plead guilty and was
fined S1OO.
George Allen was granted a
divorce from Alice Allen.
The jury for the week was dis
charged and the regular jury for
next week will not be needed ex-
cept those who are on the
special venires in the murder
and rape cases. Barring these
three cases. the criminal work of
the term is over.
