Fort Worth. Texas. juno There seems
TO bc an effort brewing on behalf OF the
liquor dealers, or at least portion OF them
in different parts OF the State, to wage war
against Colonel Wynne because Of his posi-

ago. From what has been learned II is ovl-
dent that his record on this question has
been dug up by members of tho liquor as
ISOLATION OF the State and Is being heralded
broadcast. This action lis not generally
known, but It tx fact nevertheless.
For some time liquor men at Ennis, Dali
las and elsewhere have been making per-
sistent inquiry, which seems 10 have de-
veloped the fact that Colonel Wynne had
been recognized as n nrohlbltionist- 1t IL
probable that a quiet move on this line Is
being worked against him in many sections

 It Is supposed there is some one in this vicinity who has a mania for setting forest fires, as there have been eight separate fires set this past week. A large track of land has been burned over, and much damage has been done. Heck and Brady have had 100 cords of piled wood burned. The fires mostly have been set on Hedge Hog and in the vicinity of what Is called the Holmes place. Last Sunday morning when one of our neighbours sons drove the COWS to pasture he took his gun with him and watched. He saw a man light a fire in the dry leaves and he fired at him. The man ran into the woods and disappeared rubbing his legs. As the shot was fine probable the wound was not severe. Per. haps something besides fine shot will be used next time, if the occasion requires it.
