A Gard of Thanks.

In behalf of the widow and the two
dear children of Jas. w. Blakely, de-
ceased, as also for myself and my own
living children, we wish to express our
heartfelt thanks to the good friends
and neighbors for their kindly service
in seeking to tighten our sorrow and
strengthen our faith in that spirit life,
on whose shore breaks no wave of
earthly passion, and where sin and sor.
row are shut out forever. We desire to
thank the embers of the bar for their
kindly sympathy and assistance-the
brother Masons and Odd Fellows-the
brother Knight, and all the kind neigh
bors and dear friends-the faithful
physicians and those who by gift of
flowers at the home and i'm the sanctu-
ary aud at the grave, by words of cheer
and hope and by sacred song, helped to
lessen our sense of loss for him whose
warfare is accomplished and whose
temptations are over forever.
To the officials with whom he was as
sociated, and especially Under Sheriff
I.oven and his associates, as also to
many citizens of Kingman who we
know have been true, faithful and kind
friends to him who now rests from the
turmoils and temptations of earth, we
unitedly tender our sincere thanks.
May you never fail of finding friends
in your time of need, and may the
Blessed Master at the final judgment
say to you every one, as touching him
that is gone: "Even as We did it to the
least of these, ye did it unto me-"
WIN. G.. BLAKELY.

Frank Austin has been quarrying
stone at the Metcalfe quarry, west of
town, this week to be used to line the
fire box of the new boilers which are
being placed in position at the Tennes-

on the Metcalfe land is inexhaustible
and the use of this stone as substi-
tute for fire brick will make an indus

Dallas, Texas, April 1.-THE immense
audience that attcdned the Erwin murder
trial in Judge Clint's court today had its
interest keyed up to the highest tension.
While sensational testimony had been
listened to before. no such developments
mad been expected as were presented today.
1t was established as q fact beyond dispute
that the States contention that /. q.
handle was killed by II. p. Erwin the
defendant, because OF the latter's failure
TO receive money demanded for having
committed the crime of arson for Randle
was well founded. And this fact was
proven by witnesses called by the defense,
and came as a stunning surprise.
II was also established beyond a doubt,
and from the same source, that the crime
of arson had been known of for nearly
two years, and that for fully one year Err
win had been determined to kill Randle
unless he was paid the money balance he
claimed
c. II. Alexander, former president of the
Dallas Consolidated Electric Street Rail-
way company and at the time OF Randle~
death, and for long time previous as
ISOLATED with him in business, was the
most important witness of the day. Mr..
ALEXANDER admitted an intimate acquaint-
ance with the defendant. Erwin, for q
period OF nearly twenty years. He as
tonished the audience and the defense ~
swearing that he knew that Randlc had
hired Erwin to burn the Eakins home
stead in this city, on which he held si5. 900
insurance; that Randle had paid Erwin
money for the crime; that Erwin had fire.

often told him tAlexander) unless It was
paid he would kill Randle; that he had
talked TO both men about the matter and
had tried to avert the tragedy
