THE EVIDENCE NOT BINDING

The case OF attempt rape by Bud
Edwards on a highly respectable
white lady who lives near the Jake
Buckley place in this colntY on last
Wednesday and which was called in
Justice Hlgginhotham's court on
Friday afternoon, was quite inter
esting from several standpoiuts.
The boy, charged with the crime,
is a Bohemian, about eighteen
years old and has more the counte-
nance Of an Ouraug Outang than
Of human, appeared in court with
his mother as chief witness in his
behalf, aud she was a dick dandy
one, too, as she swore positively
that the boy has not been out of
her sight for ten minutes at time
since they left Palestine, Texas.
II seems that this family are
tramps travelling with a push wag-
on, and they stop for a few days at
any old place that may suit them,
and it was while they we're camp
ing at the Buckley place, that the
boy got into trouble and who was
arrested for assaulting Mrs. Ern-
est, who was engaged in picking
blackberries.
Mrs. Earnest said that while
picking berries, she heard a noise
close by and looking up saw the
boy coming toward her, and when
she turned to run he followed her a
short way telling her to stop which
of course she did not do, but con-
tinue to run and scream until the
boy abandoned the chase. Mrs.
Ernest told her husband and he
had a warrant sworn out for his
arrest.
Mrs. Ernest said the boy never
got close enough to put his hands
on her and this is what saved him
from prion or the gallOws.
Justice Higginbotham believed
every word Mrs. Ernest said il
court, but the demonstration OF
threatening attitude the boy made
toward the lady, was not sufficient
lily strong to make a case against
him, hence he was discharged.

Good reports come to US from all
parts of Bowie'county as to Stanley
Edwards, and his nomination for
sheriff is certainly assured, He will
carry every voting box in Precinct
One almost sohdly. The people
living in the west end are raiiying
to his support and he will come in
on the home stretch ahead of all
competition. A long acquaintance
with him urges us to say that he is
one of the very best kind of men to
make good sheriff and we know
the people regard him thus and will
vote for him.

We we're shown a photograph
yesterday of our absent friend, Col
Inns Gaines, who is off at school in
New York. The picture is a fash
light one, and Collins was taken
while sitting at his study table IN
his room. The decoration of the
room showed the .. S. flag and
many patriotic notices hung about
the walls, as well as the pictures of
several Texarkana young ladies,
whom we judge Collirs must be
quite fond of from the positions
they occupy on the wall, The room
itself is beautifully upholstered and
furnished and Collins is just simply

THE sAWDUsT BABY.

The sawdust baby is the univer-
sal teacher for all men and women,
as well as children, nurse them, de-
fend them, hug and kiss them, talk
to them, laugh with them and cry
over them.
1t is an illusion.
But then, life is made of illusions,
and the sawdust baby stands for
the whole class. Each age has had
its sawdust baby, each race, each
civilization, each religion and each
cult. In one age it has been milf
tary glory and in anoter popular
liberty, but in both it was a saw
dust baby all the same.
When the spear of conquering
Rome pierced the canvass body of
the universal world and let the
sawdust escape in the face of con-
quered kingdoms, the old illusions
held good and the shouts of exult-
ing millions proclaimed the highest
honors to the sawdust baby.

Dangerous Apparitions.

Every once in a while a ghost
crops up in the columns of the daily
or weekly press. This ghastly spirit
sometimes assumes the part of the
prOmenader on some lonely road,
who terrifes belated travellers out
of their wits. Few persons credit
these blood curding accounts of the
doiugs of his ghostship, but there is
a tenement which is unquestionably
haunted at times. When a nervous
malady attacks the human tene-
ment the manifestations are most
appalling, and usually most violent
at night. Sleeplessness, if nervous
ness is disregarded, becomes chron'
ic, and the entire system suffers in
consequence. For disturbance of
the nerves Hostetter's Stomach
Bltters is thorough remedy, as ii
also is for malaria, rheumatism,
dyspepsia, constipation and bilious
ness.

what MIR. Roberts Says.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Nov. N-The threats
made of excluding Congressman-elect Rob
erts from a seat in the House of Repre-
sentatives on the ground that he is an ac-
tive polygamist, and therefore ineligible,
have caused considerable stir among the
politicians of this State. A. E. Eldridge,
the defeated Republican candidate, who is
Mormon, accepts the election result and
has raised no objection to Mr.. Roberts. The
contest, if any is made, will be brought by
Warren Foster the Populist candidate, who
received 1900 votes out of total Of 5000.
Mr.. Roberts admits that he is cohabiting
with more than one wife, and IT is alleged
that he is living with three. Polygamy was
not an important issue In the recent CALL
Daign Although a few Republican papers
attacked Mr.. Roberts on the ground that
he was a polygamist, 1t is noteworthy
fact that he was scratched more heaVlly py
MormOnS than by GentlleS, showing the eX-
istence of a strong anti-Dolygamist sentl-
ment among the MormonS. In the strong
Gentle communities he polled the full vote
of his party. In an interview Mr.. ROD
ertS said:
.sTrhe settlement of that question after
wears Of strife and heartache left upon men
moral obligations from which no decree OF
the church could release them and no act OF
the state absolve them. The demand or the
American peoule as expressed through
their representatives in the American Con-
gress in the enabling act, went no 1urtner
than this: That perfect tolerance or rellg-
ions sentiment shall be secured, provided
that nolygamo or plural marriages are
forever prohibited Thus the demand went
so far as to prohibit future polygamous
marriages, but no further"
Utahs present representative, Mr.. ring
would doubtless resist any attempt to de-
prive Mr.. Roberts of his seat, as would also
the two senators.

A FAMOUS PAGER SOLD
STAR POINTER AUCTIONED OFF TO
w. j. WHITE FOR $4,000.
Six Hundred Dollars Less than j. A.
Murphy Paid In 1s9z-saIe of

NEW YORK, Nov. A.-zStar Pointer. the
famous PAGER with the worlds record of
1914 for a mile, was sold tonight at Madi-
son-square Garden to w. J. White, of Cleve-
lend, O., for $5, 900, $500 less than he was
sold in 1897 to James A Murphy, of Chicago.
The advertised sale of this famous horse
sufficed to fill the big arena, and when the
horse was led to the auctioneer's block TO-
900 persons were present. An unknown man
started the bidding with an offer Of $1,000,
but he had hardly mentioned the price when
Andy WEIGH, of Hartford Conn, raised him
$500 better. Twelve thousand dollars was
the next bid, shouted from the gallery by
ex-Congressman w. ]. White, Of Cleveland,
o., who at the time was not recognized.
Mr.. WEIGH raised this offer to $12, 500.
Thirteen thousand dollars came back
defiantly from the gallery, only to be an

For a few moments there was silence
The crowd waited almost breathlesSly for
the voice from the top gallery, but it did
not respond as quickly as before. Just as
the crowd was beginning to think the sale
over, however, the unknown bidder shouted,
fifteen thousand dollars and there was a
mighty cheer. No other bids being received
the mighty Star Pointer, the fastest horse
in the world in harness, was knocked down
to Mr.. White. The sales which preceded
the attraction of the night did not bring
forth any warm competition, and the prices
realized were small

DEPEW ON ATHLETICS.
DR.. ChaunCey Says 'sScratch an
American and You'll Get a Fighter

NEW YORK, Nov 21.-"Scratch a Cos
sack and you'll get a Tartar; scratch an
American and you'll get a fighter" DR..
Depew lay back in his chair at his home to-
night and talked over the results of the big
football game. He was talking about heroic
athletics and the remarkable effect they
have had in making fighters of the Ameri-
can Nation. Take the war and the Rough
Riders" said DR.. Depew. THAT plainly
showed the value of athletics in breeding
soldiers and in exerting an influence on the
combative ability of a nation. In that fam
Gus regiment there were cowboys and
dudes, athletes and deputy sheriffs from the
plains, policemen and clubmen. And the
athletes and college boys and clubmen
showed how their college athletics could
make soldiers Of them and fighters Now,
there are other forms of athletics that do
not breed moral courage. Take pugilism for
example. OF course. this does not refer to
amateur boxing, which is a fine way to de-
velop quickness and soundness of wind and
good muscles. Professional priZehghters are
not men of moral courage. Who ever heard
of a prizefghter going to war? Did Cor
bett enlist, or Sharkey, or Fitzsimmons. or
John l. Sullivan or anyone else whose
names you read of as heroes in the fistic
arena? Whatever physical courage these
men possess was not needed there. The men
of moral courage were needed and they

that Mr. Roberts, if he is a polygamlst,
might be liable to arrest and punishment

views and Mr. Roberts will probably be al
lowed to take his seat without objection
He may not be allowed to hold it very long,
however, for many representatives pelleVe
he should be expelled. The GROUNDS on
which such action, if taken, would be paseo
were stated by Representative Dlngley' Ihe
Republican leader of the House.
when Utah was admitted TO the Union,
said Mr.. Dingley, "a. solemn pledge was
given that polygamy should not be per-
nitted. That was the condition on when
the act of admission was passed. 1t would
now be very bold thing If that State, IN
the face of its solemn pledge, should SEND a
polygamist to Congress as one OF its earliest
representatives in the House. ,
Mr. Dingey said further that If the
charges made against Mr.. Roberts should
be found to be true it would not be merely
an ordinary case of a lawbreaker being sent
to Congress. 1t would be an affront so
grave that he thought the House could not
avoid taking notice Of it, and 1t might be
possible that 1t would lead to the expulsion
of Mr.. Roberts, if the charges could De
