FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
The Amount of Henry Wellnann's Tenn
p0rary Rond-Examining Trial
Set for Tuesday Eext.

Set for Tuesday Eext.
Henry Wellmann, charged with
the death of Hermann Gerken,
was brought before Justice Ewing
Friday and granted temporary
bail in the sum of $1,000, which
he Immediately gave with Messrs.
Frank Dobert, F. Werner, Joe
Geick and W. Wehmeyer as
sureties. The examining trial is
set for Tuesday, the 10th inst.
Mr.. Wellmann is a well known
farmer of the Wiede settlement,
and is about sixty years of age.
Gerken, the dead man, was in
his thirty first year. AS already
stated in a previous issue, the
killing was the elimination of
differences that had been of long
standing. Open hostilities were
first engendered in the fall of
1895, brought on by Gerken's as
sidious attentions to Miss Louise
Wellmann. The young lady's
father finally forbade the obdu-
rate lovers coming on the prem
Uses. In a spirit of revenge Ger
ken fired twice into the residence,
and later in attempting another
fusilade was shot and wounded
by Mr.. Wellmann, under circum-
stances deemed justifiable by
the grand jury, no Indictment
being returned against Well
mann. After these occurrences
Gerken annoyed the young lady
and her father in many ways,
the former improper let
tiers and messages, and repeat
edly threatening to kill the lat
ter. These threats led to his ar
rest and incarceration and finally
to his death.
Gerken was unarmed at the
time he was killed, but is al
legged to have used threatening
language and made threatening
demonstrations which led his as
sailant to believe him not only
armed but thoroughly des-
perate.

THE END NEAR AT HAND.

The attention of astronomers
throughout the world lately has
been directed to the appearance
of a group of extraordinary spots
on the sun, which the St. Louis
Republic considers as probably
the most portentous natural phe-
nomenon which has been OBJ
served during the recorded his
tory of man. 1t is watched by
men of science with equal Won
der and alarm, for they have no
knowledge of any appearance of
a similar character. Naturally,
there have been many specula-
tons as to its nature.
Prof. Corrigan, one of the
most eminent astronomers in
this country has reached con-
clusion concerning the nature of
the process now taking place on
the surface of the sun. He con-
cludes that it is nothing less than
the creation of new planet,
which certainly will entail fear
full disturbance to the earth, and
possibly the destruction of all
life upon it. Here it is well to
compare the conclusion of Prof.
Corrigan with certain words in
the eighth chapter of the Reve-
lation of st. John, which seems
to describe the event now fore
told by science. The tenth
verse of the eighth chapter
reads:
+" And the third angel sounded
and there fell a great star from
heaven, burning as it were
lamp, and it fell upon the third
part of the rivers and upon the
fountains of water.''
The chapter goes on to de-
scribe in dreadful, prophetic
language a CONFUSION of the
universe, which apparently is
the creation of new planet from
the sun, and the consequent par
tial destruction of the earth.

AN ADDRESS.
R. J. Moore Wants a Discussion Between
Landlords and Tenants.

Landlords and Tenants.
R. j. Moore, who up to last
election bore the distinction of
being the only colored justice of
the peace in Washington county,
and whose retirement from office
dates from that epoch, is out in
an address in which he embodies
a call for meeting of the land
lords and tenants of Washington
precinct for Thursday, the 18th.
The meeting is to be held in
the town of Washington and the
following subjects are to be dis
cussed:
1st. Can the tenants afford to
pay money rent at the present
price of cotton.
I'd. Should the landlord secure
the tenants crop with a good
fence?
Sd. The difference between hill
and bottom land that can be paid
in renting by the tenants.
4th. Which town is the best
market, all things considered,
Brennan or Navasota?
