MAN CONFESSED
To Crimes After Having Dashed His
Head Against the Wall

A rather strange and unusual Incl
dent is reported from the police sta
ton today. A prisoner arrested for
drunkenness suddenly began to see
things and threw himself against the
bars OF his cage with such violence
that his head was badly hurt; then
he confessed to Chief Lockart that he
is a fugitive and a defaulter.
The prisoners name is W G. Blake
he was arrested last evening and taken
to the lookup to give him a chance to
sober up. He behaved nicely until l
O'Clock today, but at that time he
became imbued with the idea that two
imaginary men in the adjoining cell
had him cornered with six shooters.
fight for his life the prisoner bounded
iron bars. His head struck first and
with such force that he fell in a heap.
limp and unconscious, with a bad
wound in his head.
Dr. Bush was called and after a time
the prisoner revived. When he came
to he saw Chief Lockart bending over
him and springing up the prisoner i'm
plored the chief not to let the men kill
him. Offering TO make full confession
if he was protected.
The chief humored this within and
the man confessed to being defaulter
and a fugitive from Chapparal. Tex
as.
The officers are now puzzled to know
whether the man is a real defaulter or
if his story is simply the offspring of
an alcoholic brain.

diameter. and at the same time a
stream of water is turned in from a
hydrant, so as to allow of plenty of
water for the floating of said para
chute, and when the parachute reach

that has been used to put the brush
into, pipe is then tied to said string
one-half inch in diameter. and when
this rope gets to the lower manhole
a large rope is then tied to the smaller
one. This large rope is generally a
Ia inch size. On the end of the large
rope the brush is tied. l do not think
1t advisable to have the manholes
more than 1000 feet apart. and the
closer together they are the better.
Now, as to the water from the hy-
drants, it can be turned in at any con-
venient place, and it is not necessary
that 1t should be turned in at the man
hole in which the brush is introduced.
All that is necessary is to have the
water back of the brush and to keen
good stream running while the sew
er is being brushed
1t generally takes three men to op-
crate a brushing outfit-one to put
the brush in and one to pull the brush
through, and one to reel up the rope
as it comes out of the pipe

Hon. Henry w. Terrell, of San An

district and manager Of the Hawley
or anti-Green faction of the republican
party is in the city.
When seen at his Office this morning
by a reporter for The Herald, Mr..
Terrell lsaid:
In regard to the question as to
which is the regular republican organ
ization of Texas, and as to whether
Cecil A. Lyon of Sherman, or Ed. H. R.
Green of Terrell, is state chairman
this matter will be taken to the ma
tional committee for decision. In
fact the matter is up now, and a de-
cision is expected at anytime.
The decision of the national re-
publican committee will be final, as
matter of party law, and while 1
think undoubtedly the Lyon or anti
Green organization will be recognized,
still as good republicans, we will bow
to the decision of our highest tribunal.
Mr.. r. B. Hawley will present the
case of the Lyon organization in per-
son."

The democrats. who have paid no

The accomplishment may be called. for

Some people naturally possess this fac
ulty Of giving their minds to the subject

mankind this habit can be cultivated. For

The average boy or girl shuf1es through
everything in slipshod and inattentive
fashion, doing work perfunctorily, and en-
gaging In recreation upon the impulse OF

brought within the range Of their observa-
ton, ordinary people pay not the least
heed. There are too many persons who
will walk into an Office building. where
all the doors are numbered in careful Sc

Long Journey.
ROCHESTER, n. r., June 9.-Gen. Ell
we'll S. Otis arrived In Rochester at 3
o'clock this morning and was driven at
once to his home in Lyall Avenue. The
news that he was in the city received
thorough circulation and many persons who
knew him went at once to the house. Most
of them were denied admittance. The gen.
eral was fatigued after his long trip across
the Pacific, his detention in quarantine, and
his ride across the continent
General Otis said that he was not certain
when he would leave for Washington. He
says he was due in that city on June 6.
He was delayed owing to the fact that
smallpox was discovered aboard his yes
sci and he was held in quarantine at San
Francisco five days. Before he is ready to
talk much about his experiences he wants
to see President Mckinley and give to him
a formal report He will probably be ready
to go to Washington tomorrow.
Preparations for the celebration next Fri
day in General Otis honor have been go
ing on steadily for several days. The big
memorial arch in East Main Street is near
ing completion. General Otis expressed
great pleasure at the interest taken by
his home people. and says he never thought
he had deserved SO much honor and kind
ness as he is now receiving.
