supposition was that the gun had been
accidentally discharged, killing the
wife, and that in his despair the hus-
band took his own life.
The question then was as to which
of the two had died first, the DISPOSE
ton Of the estate depending on that
one point. Ann Duncan claimed the
property as heir to her brother, Mr..
Holland, on the ground that he had
done the killing and that, as matter
of course, he had killed his wife first.
The court below took her view of the
matter and awarded her the estate
The near relatives of Mrs. Holland
took an appeal to the supreme court Of
Mississippi, claiming she had died last
wherefore they should inherit the
property. The supreme court made
very careful investigation into the
killing Of the old couple and found
that, in fact, the woman had died last,
though shot first. Her body was
warm when found, and the body of
her husband was cold, showing conciu-
sively, in the opinion of the court
that she had lived some four or five
hours longer than her husband did,
and that her immediate relatives
should inherit the estate.

Lobster as a Slang Word.

Does anyone besides the United
States fish commissioner know how
and why the word lobster" came to
be used in a slang way? We have
heard it do duty at variety theatres
and on the street for some time. but
We have never left quite justified in
taking it up for home use. It has
seemed wholly untitled for polite
society, though perhaps that is be-
cause we have not known how it
entered the vaudeville stage. But
now that in our great and general
court the word comes up and does
some excellent and effective work
one of it's most dignified and worthy
leaders, we may see it adopted by
private famines. 1t was a term of
contempt flung at the relocated
British soldier by daring urchins
when Boston was under martial law in
the last century, and SO had a m st
patriotic if not aristocratic descent.

Wife Complicates the Law.
Six months ago Tony Holland and

Tallahatchie county, Miss, left their
little farm home to take stroll in the
woods, says the st. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat. The old gentleman carried
along his rifle, in the hope of getting a
shot at squirrel Or perhaps a turkey.
Shortly after they went away two re-
ports of the rife were heard, but moth
ing was thought about it until nearly
night, when some members of the
family, becoming uneasy at their long
stay, walked down the path in the d.
rection they had gone, and soon came
upon them lying on the ground dead.
The woman had been shot through
and through from the back and lay
face down in the path. The old gentle
man was few feet from her with the

MEANS MUCH FOR DURANGO
AND SOUTHWEST
Fine Outlook for the Durango and
New Mexico Oil Company.

The organization of the Durango and
New Mexico Oil Company is quite
sure to mark an important point in
the development of the southwest.
When it first became known that
a great oil basin existed south of us,
in all probability the promoters of
this enterprise, who were and are Du-
range men, set about securing desira-
BILE lands, and being guided by the
views of some of the most intelligent
oil experts in America, secured over
5000 acres of the choicest lands in
the oil basin. So quietly has all this
been carried out that not until yester-
day did 1t become public that a Du-
range company was in the field and
about ready to commence operations
They have contracted for a complete
plant of machinery. which will soon
be on the ground. Active operations
will then be commenced and pushed
with the vim that generally character
ICES the men who head the enterprise.
This is as it should be, Great for
tunes have been made in oil since 1t
was first discovered as a commercial
enterprise in Pennsylvania years ago.
Fortunes were made in California dur
ing the last few years. and Texas is
now growing vastly rich out of her
Beaumont oil fields and is In the morn
ing of great development of what is
in all likelihood one of the greatest
oil basins in America.
We are pleased to note that Du-
range men and Durango energy and
push will stand in the forefront of
the enterprise which will commence
the development of the oil industry
in the southwest and we hope gather
the waiting wealth of these oil fields.
The development of these oil fields
cannot miss Durango and the bringing
to her food of prosperity.
The new company is capitalized at
81 100000 and shares are $3.50 each.
II Is well ofIicered and will he well
managed and will push with great en-
ergy the proposition of getting oil to
the surface through the wells II sinks
The company has two oil springs on
their lands, from which oil freely
flows.
