THREE LIVES LOST
In an Election Row at Brownsville,
Texas

Brownsville, Tex, April 6-Two kill
ings and a lynching happened here
within three-QuarterS of an hour yes
terday. Sam Cobb, a deputy sheriff,
and his brother, Felipe Cobb, who was
a constable, were shot down by Carlos
Guellen. Guellen was wounded by Sam
Cobb.
1t seems that the latter was riding
hastily from an election booth, having
heard row was in progress somewhere
near, and that Constable Cobb and a
policeman were rushing along after him
on foot. At the corner of an alley
Guellen sprang out and fired at Sam
Cobb, who returned the fire. Both fell
to the ground Felipe Cobb then rushed
up, and Guellen rose from the ground
and shot him twice, killing him almost
instantly.
A younger brother of Gue1len ap-
peared at the same moment and shot
Felipe. Both Guellens were arrested,
but the younger one escaped in the ex-
element.
A mob at once gathered, broke into
the Jail and shot Carlos Guellen, killing
him in his cell. The body was dragged
forth into the street and the crowd was
going to burn it, but cooler counsel pre-
vailed and the body was taken back to
the Jail.
The trouble grew out of a previous
quarrel between Guellen and the CobbS.
Guellen was considered a desperate
character. He was convicted of as
sault to murder at the last term OF
court but appealed. He had been in
numerous shooting ScrapeS.

Still Rumored That the Santa Fe Will
Build From Bazaar South.


Build From Bazaar South.
Mr.. Frank P. Morgan, general live
stock agent of the Santa Fe at We'll
Hngton, prophesies that within two
years the Santa Fe will build an ex-
tension from Albuquerque to some
eastern point on the Pecos Valley ex-
tension, and will thus make a shorter
route from Albuquerque to Kansas and
that the through freight business will
be sent over this extension to Ell Dorado
and Bazaar to Kansas City.
The Santa Fe,S present connection
with the Pecos Valley will be at Anna
rillo, the eastern terminus of the extern
sion. Amarillo is on the FIT. Worth &
Denver a few miles west of WaShburn,
the western terminus of the Santa Fe's
Panhandle branch. The Santa Fe has
secured the right to run over the F. w.
& d. tracks to that point.
The Pecos valley country is princi-
pally a stock raising country, and the
extension of the Pecos Valley road will
open a new market in that region for
Kansas grain

THEATER HAT PLAN.
Society Women Appear in Opposition
to the Adoption of Boston
Ordinance.

Boston, April 6.-The public hearing
by the committee on license of the
board of aldermen on the theater hat
ordinance at the City hall last evening
assumed the likeness of swell social
functions. Mrs. BILLY" Apthorp, Mrs.
Jack" Gardner, Mrs. Shepard Brooks,
and about 20 of the Back Bay women
appeared in opposition to the present
ordinance, which requires theater man
ayers to enforce the rule against wear
ing hats at the play if any one COM
plains that the view is INSTRUCTED.
Mrs. Jack Gardner wore a low, single
decked hat, with a decided list to star
board, and plume amidships. She led
the applause with a grace born of long
experience, but did not speak. Mrs. w.
f. Apthorp, wearing a n:cc, trig little
black hat with a few frillS, was the star
talker of the day. An amendment to
the ordinance had been proposed to the
effect that no person should be required
to remove the hat unless complaint is
within three rows to the rear, and such
persons must give their names and @d-
dresses.
Mrs. Apthorp objected to the ordi-
nance and amendment, and thought the
salvation of women was in wearing fiat
bonnets, with feathers, bows and
aigrettes ruled out. She said it was a
their hats off. Several other women
spoke against the ordinance, and then
Chairman Dyar called up Mrs. ApthOrp
again and asked her if skull caps with
out trimming would not protect the
head and preserve the ordinance at the
same time.
Mrs. Apthorp safid that ladies could
not get skull caps on over their hair.
Mrs. Gardner nodded in approval and
Mr. Dyar subsidized.
