 These tiny champions live at Corn wall Landing, N. Y. During the past year they have been playing regularly and giving points to all the billiard players of the section of the state in which they live. But the report of their skill has gone in all directions, until now the big players of the country are eagerly asking questions about the chil- dren with whom they may presently be called upon to compete, Never before have such youthful players gained so remarkable reputation. Still. they are just ordinary boys after all, and when not at the billiard table are as anxious to play the ordinary games of children as any other youngsters.

 There is little in common between a COW and d wolf, but in this instance both have achieved greatness in all senses of the term. While the giant COW is browsing in the succulent pas lures of California, the biggest wolf, and the only white wolf ever captured in Texas is snarling and pulling at the end cf q big chain on ranch near Grady, in that state.
 Though a large specimen, the actual size of this wolf is not so very great, because he is of a small variety. the coy ote-but it is only second to the hyena in the horrible sensation produced by its howl. \ white wolf. however. is B rara avis. and this enc has q temper that, for the particular species to which be belongs, is as extraordinary as the color of his fur. The coyote is a cow ard by nature. No specimen was ever known to make a fair fight. Indeed. the coyote has been justly called the American jackal. Mir. McConb, who captured this remarkable animal, tells a graphic story of how he managed to lariat his prize. This is what he said to the writer:
 "sro understand about the capture of this white wolf of mine it is necessary to know something about the nature of the country where he was captured. The face of tue land is very broken.

INDIGNATION IN UNION.
A Respectable Farmer Threatened
With Fire and Death Unless
He Leaves the County
His Shop Burned
and His Son
Shot.
Special to the Observer.

Monroe, Dee 1t.-Thcrc is Il
good deal OF excitement in Buford
township, this county, arising ont
OF - case of house burning and at
tempted murder. Some time ago
Mr. Henderson Davis respectable
farmer, received an anonvmous
letter commanding him to leave
the ncighborhood before January
ist under penalty Of having all
hi: houses burned and himself and
son Shot if he refused to do so.
He did not pay any attention to
the letter at the time. However.
one night last week, it was brought
torclhly to his mind again, for his
shop, some distance from his
dwelling was set on fire and burn
ed, and another note left again
warning him to leave, as that was
only beginning of what was ex.
pected to be done.
Since then he and his neighbors
have kept nightly watch. Last
night Mr. Davis son, about grown
who was on the watch, saw IL man
near him, and supposing it to be
his father, who was also watching
advanced toward him. The un-
known man began firing on the
boy with n pistol. One ball pass.
ed through his hat and another
went into his foot. This called
up the other watches, who gave
chase but finally lost sight of the
fugitive. Suspicion pointed to
Jesse Rogers, white man. and

out for him and Deputy Sheriff
Myers arrested him. The indig-

Of Action.
A c | R c U LAR ISSUED


At the recent meeting Of the
State board Of control Il resolution
was adopted which in Il measure
looks to the restoration of the
constabulary and may easily oc
construed rs meaning slap at the
governor, who removed the con-
stables and left the enforcement #
the law in the hands of the muni-
cipal authorities. Perhaps it was
not so intended, but several who
have seen the resolution so con
sideri it.
The resolution WAS adopted by
the board at the final supplemented
session of the December meeting
and nothing was known about it
until n copy of the circular below
was obtained yesterday. Hav-
ing been advised that such a
circular had been sent out several
newspaper representatives called
on Chairman Willie Jones. He
was surprised to know that moth
ing had been made public about it
and gave the copy of it.
Here is the way the circular
which has been sent to the several
county boards in the State reads:

to 80 home. This enraged Griffin
and iie drew a pistol and began to
raw and make threats against his
host \
T Sliid, knowing Griffin to be-a
dangerous man, prepared himself
and ordered the offender to leave
the house This made matters
worse. Griffin began to fight. He
drew h.s pistol and Just rs H. rails

and the firing began. Seven shots
were exchanged. Both principals
dropped dead, and Clarence Jones,
