The Struggle Between
Coal and Oil.
PoStmarter.

wal 1IlA OAi
The first shot fired in the coming
struggle between coal and the Tex
as oil as fuel is a marked reduction
in freight rates on Alabama coal
to Mobile, New Orleans and other
places. The Louisville & Nash
vile has reduced its rate of $l.75
to Mobile on coal for local con-
sumption TO $l.10, and correspond
ing reduction have been made to
other places. Temporarily this
may hurt the railroads, but even
tually they will be IN shape to
haul coal as cheaply as the Chesa
peake & Ohio does, and they will
be greatly benefited by the develop
ment of business created by low
cost of fuel. The Texas oil supply
is factor with which the world
must now reckon, for the striking
of a gusher twenty miles from
Beaumont practically proves that
the field is of vast extent, and that
it is capable of affecting the in
dustries not only of this continent,
but of the world. The oil diScov-
cry is an epoch-maklng event,
and it should be a matter Of univer-
sal rejoicing throughout the South
that it is in this section that it has
been found. It's influence upon
the whole South is beyond caIcula
ton. And the vast coal fields Of
China, for which European nations
are playing the worlds greatest
game of diplomacy, may prove to
be of less importance in the ques-
ton of international supremacy
than this Texas discovery But
the finding of oil in Texas will
stimulate a search for it all over
the South, and new sources of
now will be found as result of
wealth nudreamed such investiga-

WELL KNOWN DEsPERADo.
"Doo' Middleton Living Quietly at
Ardmore, 8. ID.

The report circulated in some of the
Black Hills papers of the death OF
DOC" Middleton, one of the best
known old-time desperadoes, who re.
sides at Ardmore, south of Edgemont,
Is withou foundation. Middleton is
very much alive. He now keeps a sa-
loon at Ardmore, and is living a peace
full life. Middleton will soon celebrate
the tenth anniversary of his peace
able" life. He has not carried a weap-
on in ten years of any kind, for he
knows that his temper is not to be
trusted, and he stands In fear of him.
self.
David c. Middleton was at one time
the captain of one of the most terroriz-
ing bands of desperadoes that ever in
tested a Western country. In the ear
ly eighties his hold-ups of stages and
horse-stealings kept the entire west
ern part of Nebraska in a constant
state OF excitement. His daring deeds
have been the foundation for hundreds
OF sensational Western novels. Middle
ton served sentences in different peni-
tentiaries for various crimes committed
and was at last pardoned. His health
vas broken on account of his x
pNSdAN anu "ouhNo SICANCN III hlS NOi~
fiicts, and after his pardon he settled
down at Ardmore in the saloon bust
ness. He has a family, and is said to
be devoted to his wife and children.
Doc Middleton came to Agallala, Neb..
in 1876. His first violent deed was done
in a saloon in that city, when he shot
and killed a soldier. The soldier at
tempted to stamp the life out of Mid,
dleton. and, when flat on his back on
the saloon floor, Middleton drew his re-
volver and shot the soldier dead.
He fed for his life, and successfully
evaded the most vigilant efforts to
catch him. Had he given himself up
and stood trial he would have been ac-
quilted, for it was undoubtedly in self
defense that he killed the soldier.
With the feeling OF an outcast, he
avoided civilization Of every sort, and
it was not long before he had organ-
lied the famous Doc Middleton gang
which was the terror of good people for
several years. 1t is known that the
gang killed people on several occasions,
but IL Is generally believed that Mid
dleton's orders were always to spare
life. AS horse and cattle stealers his
gang was notorious. Middleton is in
poor health at present, though COM
p~aratively a young man.
