PUT "IT WAS THE LAW"
The Tragedy in Charles M. Folks Un-
 happy Life.

| The hard hand of the law, which has
 for months been laid upon Charles M l Polk, one of the men Indicted for the | robbery of the Missouri Pacific train al
 Leeds, September 23, 1898, bore down with crushing weight yesterday While
 he paced his narrow. cell in the county jail, with fearless eyes staring in50 va cancy and the image of his pale, fragile wife lying upon a bed Of pain, the un- complaining sufferers life ebbed away. Between the bed of death and the pris- oner's cell the law stretched it's forbid ding and relentless hand. The wife last f1uttering words were: Has he cCme?" She hoped to the last that the law would permit her husband to visit her once mere, and that she might pass away with her hand in his. But the law made him stay away, and the long suffering wife had to pass into the val ley and the shadow alone The law said that $S,000 bond must be given, and Polk could not give it. He was taken to his dying wife's bedside Mon day night, as told in the Journal yes terday, and there the last fearful fare well was taken and then Polk was talk SAt OdCh u 14o NS11. I10 1GCSIN6u I16 heartfelt sympathy 0f all the jail off, cfals, who executed the laws relentless mandate but pitied the subject of it's hard decree.
 Guilty or innocent, the case was a sad one, and doubIy sad If the law has been deceived.
 Mrs. Polk was sick before her hus- hand was arrested. That dread dis ease, consumption, had fastened itself upon her fran constitution and fer months she had been slowly sinking, only bUcyed up by the hope that her husband might prove his innocence or at least secure the bond which would give him his liberty and allow him to sOOthe his dying wife's last hours. But the law, relentless to the last. chained him to his bunk and denied his dying wife the consolation of one last hand clasp as the Shadows gathered and with the words Has he ccme?" to which the weeping watchers answered only with another sob, the gentle sui ferer passed away.
 An attempt W as made by Polk and his lawyers to furnish the $8 900 bond required of him, in the criminal court yesterday. The court refused to ac- cept the two bondsmen offered and the case was continued for lack of time to try it.
 He will be permitted to attend the fu- neral.-Kansas City Journal.

population of nearly 1000, sur
pounded by lands fully equal in

most saIubrious climate, this
place lacks only a railroad
outlet to make it one Of the
most important cities in Texas
And there is every reason why
a railroad should be construct
ed to this point. Eesides the

is located here the important
