It soon became evident that Mur-

control of himself: for he gradually
pitched his voice in a higher key, un-

#Sturgis' ears. The reporter was not
the man to wantonly play the part
of eayesdropper; therefore, although
the isolated words which reached him
brought no.. Connected sense, he
Judged that it was time to move out
of earshot of the conversation to

TEXARKANA ARKANSAS MONDAY, MAY IA 1900
SPIRIT LAKE.

The reporter, in company with
c. c. Dorian, Ben Wilson, Will
Chappelle, Master Francis Cassidy
and Jack Wootten, went over to
Spirit Lake yesterday The day
was passed under the shade of the
trees, sleeping and fighting sun
beams from the eyes, riding on the
bosom of the lake and chunking
turtles. We found a good many
visitors over there from Magnolia,
New Lewisville and Pine Bluff.
There was considerable fishing go
ing on, but the strings brought in
at night we're not an argument
favorable to the lake as a place to
catch fish, though there are fish in
it, for we saw many of them Jump
and founder in the water. We ran
upon Styles Ragland while there
and found him a kind of chief man.
ager of the island-in fact, Styles
is the Mayor, Chief of Police, the
Judge and Jury of that patch of
land surrounded by water, and
what Styles says goes at Spirit
Lake.
Mr.. Weathersby, the proprietor
of the hotel, makes his guests and
those who land on the island feel at
home, and for this he charges
them-as he should, for man who
goes in the woods and caters to the
whims of all kinds of people should
be paid good money, and friend
Weathersby is the man who is 60
ing to have all that is in it. He
does not slip up on his victim and
rob him, for he has his bill OF charg-
es painted on a big board where all
can read as they run. We learn a
good many fishing parties stop
with him daily, and that his hotel
is making him money. Besides
running the house, Mr.. Weathersby
is keeping store and has good
trade from the plantations about
the lake.
The only accidents Detailing the
Texarkana delegation was that our
friend G. G. Dorian, in trying to
get boat from a tree top in the
lake, fell overheard and got wet,
Mr.. Ben Wilson stirred up wasp
nest, and got stung as also did Mas
ter Jack Wootten. The hogs got
into the city editors lunch basket
and had dinner at his expense.
We all got back safe and sound
at 8 o'clock at night, wiser and
better for the outing, we trust,

the gun back to its former position
within two seconds after its being dis

to the proiectile and increases the
range. The velocity is trife' under

obtained from charge of less than
two pounds of powder and from a gun
weighing only 3,40O pounds. Eight
shots may be fired each minute without
