MANS TRAGIC DEATH
Further Particulars of Jack Hdr-
desty's Awful Fate at Laredo.


All Texas near the Laredo border is
excited over the ira gic death COf Jack
Hardesty, the railroad man. His
murderer has not yet been discovered.
The crime was an awful one.
The body of the dead man was dis
covered and Lieutenant Frank K.
Ferguson, cOmmsndant of Fort Nc
Intosh, was at once notified.
Lying prone upon the ground, stiff
and stark in the grim monsters en-
brace, lay the body of a young man
about twenty two years of age, and
about five feet and six or eight inches
in height. He was dressed in q neatly
fitting suit of q greenish colOred cor
duroy. About twenty steps from the
body lay a cap, comparatively new
as was also the suit he had on. There
had evidently been a scuffie, and the
poor fellow had made q desperate fight
for his life. About ten steps east from
the body were the tracks that indicated
the tussle, and here also was sign of q
big pool of blood. He then staggered,
it appears, from his antagonist and fell,
his right arm lying along side his body
and his left just in front of his distorted
face, which was turned to the left and
looking to the south. In his left hand
were some weeds that he had grabbed
In the great struggle for life. Under
his face and body were great
pools of blood, clotted and ugly. and
flies and ants had already begun to
gather about him.

Something About Product Now Lit
tie Understood.
Asbestus is a physical paradox, yet
one of natures most marvellous produc-
tions. It has been called a neurological
vegetable. It is both fbrous and crys-
talline; elastic, yet brittle; a floating
stone, which can be readily carded,
spun and woven into tissue. In Ger
many it is known as stein1achs (stone
fax, and the miners of Quebec give it
quite as expressive a name-pierre CO.
ton Cotton stone). The asbestus mines
of Quebec, declares the Boston Tran
script, are the most famous in the
world. yielding So per cent of the entire
output, Italy being the only competing
country, and there the industry is de-
Ginning.
Although Charlemagne is said to have
had tablecloth of asbestus, which he
cleansed by throwing into the fire, it
was practically unknown until 1850.
The Italian mineral was then expert
mented with and some years later put
on the market. In 1878 the first Cana
dian mine was opened, and the product
steadily increased until 1890, when
9,860 tons, worth $1,000, 900, were
mined. There has since been a decline
in value, the amount for 1896 being
IL, 200. worth only $3.50, 600.
Asbestus is flexible, noncombustible
and a nonconductor Of heat and cleo
tricity, and on these properties it's in
creasing use depends It is spun into
yarn, from which cloth is woven for
drop curtains in theaters, clothing for
fremen, acid workers, etc. It is made
into lamp wicks and gloves for stokers
and ropes for fire escapes It is felted
into millboard, to be used as an insu-
lator in dynamos and as a fireproof lin
ing for floors. 1t is used to insulate
electric wires and as covering to pre-
vent loss of heat from steam pipes

Value of Sawdust.

The American and Canadian saw
mills have discovered that the sawdust
which they have been perplexed how
to rid themselves of as a worthless in
cum brance is worth some $40 per ton.
A chemist in Baltimore has invented a
process of extracting gas from the saw
dust adequate to supply city like Of
tawa with light and heat at 10 CENTS
per thousand feet. This is thought to
portend that around the great sawmills
which have been emptying their dust
into the Ottawa river, variety of new
industries su bsisting ON it are likely to

road men say, especially in Ell Psso,
where SO many tourists stop over and
go out again over whatever route their
fancy suggests.
Buying a ticket is often suggested by
sight of railroad sign, and the broad

THAT ALPINE DIVISION CHANGE
On the q. H. Cannot Be Made Until d
Special Enabling Act of the Leg
iSIdture Is Passed.

Railroad men who have been uneasy
about the new division at Alpine and
a probable consequent reduction in the
number of men employed on the FL
Paso division of the G. h. need have
no fear for the present. Said Supt.
Martin today:
1.-THE scheme must remain in abey-
ance until after the meeting of the
Texas legislature at least.
The proposition of the people of
Alpine was to give so much land to the
railroad company for the purpose,
which was to be acquired from the
state.
"There is a Texas state law, how

sold, either directly, or to be subse-
quently transferred to individuals or
corporations, for railroad or certain
other purposes.
"Our only recourse will be, accord
ing to Judge Kemp, our attorney, to
have the STATE legislature pass q spe-
cial enabling act, which will enable us
to acquire the land.
Until then nothing can be done
urther, and no further move will be
made looking to q division change"
