THE KILLING OF WILSON
Supposed To Have Been the Direct
Outcome OF An Old Feud
Dating Back Some TWO Years.


Further details of the killing of Andy
Wilson by Bob Lee near Dublan indi-
cate that 1t was the outcome of an old
feud that started some two years ago.
Lee WAS foreman for A. B. Urmston
on his ranch in the Sierra Madre Two
years ago Urmston sold Wilson som e
cattle and the latter found some fault
with them and became very abusive
Lee resented his remarks about his
EN- ployer and the two came to blows
A killing was looked for at the time
but friends interviewed and separated
them. George Look was one of the per-
cons present at this quarrel and says be
fully expected to see some shooting
follt ".
Friday it seems Wilson renewed the
quarrel with fatal results. Further
details received confirm the HERALD'S
account of the manner in which the
killing took place. George Look, who
knew both men we'll, says that Wilson
had several times acted in q similar
manner with his rifle while drunk
Wilson had the reputation of being
very quarrelsome especially while
drunk. 1t IL said that both men we're
in Mexico on account of former trou-
bles but however that may be xl who
know Lee agree in saying that he has
borne an excellent reputation in Mexi- |
co and has never troubled anyone who |
did not fret trouble him.

Strife.

This il world of strife, and
this an age of much striving, The
nations are striving for possess
ions, the individual, for objects,
until 1t all seems like a mad
whirl for the thing desired. Gold
and silver, honor and power, all
are the weak beggarly things of
the world, and how small they
look to us by and by, if by their
attainment we barter life eternal.
Paul recommended striving to-
gether for the faith Of the gos-
pel;" and from the lips of One
who spake as never man spake
we hear, "Strive to enter in at
the straight gate; for many, ] say
unto you, will seek to enter in
and shall not be able" "
For what are you striving? For
what am | striving? For the
meat which perisheth or that
which endureth?

ROCK OF AGES.

Crock of ages, cleft for me-"
Thoughtlessly the maiden sung,
Fell the words unconsciously
From her girlish, gleeful tongue;
Sang as little children sing;
Sang as sings the birds in June;
Fell the words like light leaves down,
On the current of the tune
Crock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee"
'Let me hide myself in thee"
Sweet the song as song could be,
And she had no thought beside:
All the world unheedingly
Fell from lips untouched by care;
Dreaming not that they might be
On some other lips a prayer
"Rock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee"
Crock of ages, cleft for me-"
Twas a woman sung them now,
Pleadingly and prayerfully,
Every word her heart did know:
Rose the song as storm-tossed bird
Beats with weary wing the air,
Every note with sorrow stirred,
Every syllable prayer
Crock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee"
Crock of ages, cleft for me-,
Lips grown aged sung the hymn
Trustingly and tenderly,
Voice grown weak and eyes grown
dim,
"Let me hide myself in thee"
Trembling though the voice, and
low,
Rose the sweet strain peacefully,
Like river in its flow;
Sung as only they can sing
Who behold the promised rest
Crock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee"
Crock of ages, cleft for me,
Sung above coffin lid;
Underneath all restfully,
All life's joys and sorrows hid.
Nevermore, o storm-tossed soul,
Nevermore from wind or tide,
Wilt thou need thyself to hide.
Could thy sightless, sunken eyes,
Closed beneath the soft gray hair,
Could the mute and stiffened lips
Move again in pleasing prayer,
Still, aye still, the words would b,
"Let me hide myself in thee
