THE ELKs LOSSES.

Their Autumn Carnival not Success
Financially
As the Elks begin to ad just their
affairs and pay off the expenses in
cident to their recent carnival, it has
become evident that they will lose be-
tween $500 and $500. The contract
with the Canton Carnival Company,
which furnished the attractions. pro-
vided that the Elks should give the
Carnival Company ninety per cent of
the gate receipts and 81, 900 additional.
However, as it was seen that the Elks
would come out losers, the Carnival
Company accepted $500 in full pay
ment.
The fact that no performance at all
was given the first day, reduced the
receipts considerably; and the attend
ance for the remaining days did not
come up to anticipations.

Donegan, q Colorado miner, was Sat-
urday found guilty of murder in the
first degree, The prisoner, who lis
10 years old, I'LL VI ilsdif srs
ence to the reading of the verdict.
DIR. Gartrell, his son, p. W.'Gartrell,,
and Donegan were travelingT-overland
to Oklahoma last March when Done
gan was killed, near Amoret, Mo-, the
motive being apparently robbery.
Donegan's body was foundinthe creek
with his head mashed in and later the
Gartrells were arrested in Kansas City
while trying to sell the miners wagon
and horses. DR.. Gartrell, who was
tried first, took the stand and said he
had killed Donegan with an ak in self
defense, while Donegan- was in the act
of Draining him with monkeywrench.
They had quarreled, he said, His son,
the prisoner declared, was asleep when
Donegan was killed, and had nothing to
do with the fight. DIR Gartrell testified
that he had lived in Texas, California
and Missouri; that he had held the
Offices of state legislator and sheriff in
Texas, and was once in business in
Texas. 9s-
Young Gartren will now be tried on
the charge of completely in the murder.
It is the theory of the prosecution that
the Gartrells conspired to kill Done
gan for his money and outfit.

A singing well is one Of the natural
curiosities Of Texas. In fine weather
a sound like that Of an Aeolian harp
lis given out by the well. AT times
the sound is clear; then it recedes,
as if far away, and then it reaches
the ear very family. These changes
take place every few minutes and
with great regularity. With an east
wind blowing the water in the well
gets very low, and the mysterious mu-
steal sound is faint. A strong west
wind causes the water to rise and the
sound to increase in volume and clear
ness. Before north wind the we'll
plays its widest pranks.
