Here is what Peter Coober,
who died worth many millions
said of newspaper: "In all
towns where newspaper is pub
lished every man should advertise
in it, nothing more than a card,
stating his name and the business
he is in, 1t pays not only the
advertiser, but lets the people at
a distance know the town in
which you reside has prosperous
community of business men. AS

queen of entertainers, Mrs. Find

Subjects of converse were plen-

Unfortunate Accident.

While James Pharis, manager
of the J. f. Collins IL Sons ranch
in the Lost Lake and Frank De-
feat country was working on an
Ideal windmill last Thursday
morning he met with what proved
to be, an almost fatal accident.
The mill was tied off, but while
Mr.. Pharis was standing on the
platform fixing a part of the ma
chinery, the wire broke and his
left arm was caught in the ma
chinery and badly crushed about
the elbow.
With great presence of mind he
decended and went to the house.
y rs. Parish went to neighbors for
assistance, and Payne Rountree
came to town for physician.
DR.. l.. Taylor promptly respond
ed after making careful eXaml-
nation of the mangled arm, he de-
cided that amputation was neces-
sary, and he sent in for DR.,
A. l.. Taylor. The arm was taken
off about four inches below the
shoulder. The Doctor says that
Mr.. Pharis displayed wonderful
nerve, and had he not been a re-
markably strong and healthy man
he could not have pulled through.
From last reports Mr.. Pharis
was getting along as well as could
be expected under the circum-
ces.-Sonora Sun.

BARNEY RIGGS KILLED.
Meets Death at Stoekton-Shot
Six Times.

Six Times.
Ell Paso, Texas, April s.-News
has reached this city of the kill
ing at Fort Stockton, of Barney
Riggs, frontiersman, feudist and
fighter. Riggs was a prominent
cattleman of that section. He
was shot five times and instantly
killed. The killing is the out
come of a family quarrel.
Twenty years ago Riggs and his
bride went to Arizona. There he
became a COW boy and during the
interval of his absence from the
ranch owners camps on round
ups, Riggs employer wronged
him, and so it came about that
Riggs, in good old Texas style,
speedily killed the rancher.
Riggs was given life sentence
at Yuma. One day half dozen
convicts sought to kill the war;
den. Armed with knives they
made murderous attack on their
keeper, but Riggs, rushing I'M
armed into the thick of the fight,
hurled a rioter to the floor.
Grasping the mans knife he
/ fought until two desperadoes were
killed. The guards rushing up,
saw Riggs with the dagger upheld,
and fired, but missed. Riggs was
forthwith pardoned.
Coming back to Texas, he was
married to Mrs. Johnson, a sister
of Bud Frazer, who was then the
sheriff of Reeves county. He be-
came prominent rancher. Fra
ger had a deputy with whom he
fell out, and then was begun
prolonged, bloody and celebrated
feud. Twice there were duels on
the streets of Pecos, and the dep
uty was twice wounded, but in the
meantime Con Gibson, a brother
to the present district clerk of
Reeves county and a friend and
deputy to Frazer, was killed by
cousin of Frazer's enemy, living
at Eddy, New Mexico.
At an election Frazer was de-
feated and moved over into New
Mexico. He came to FL Paso, but
went back to Reeves county and
, ran for Office again. His former
deputy, hearing of this, went
: there and, suddenly opening the
T door to saloon, discharged both
: barrels of shotgun into Frazer's
body, killing him instantly.
The circus came to Pecos, and
SO did Riggs; likewise John Dem
son and friend bearing a relia-
> BILE gun. Meeting Riggs in a
!, saloon, one of them made gun
play and so did Riggs, and when
the smoke had cleared away man
named Earheart and benson had
=, bullets in their brains.
- Something bloodier would be
doing at Pecos, folks thought,
- when Frazer's deputy should meet

At Opera House Friday Night,
18th, Inst. Success Of the
Season.

Season.
San Angelo audiences appre-
ciate the genius of the ridiculous
as well as the grand in music and
art. This was aptly illustrated
in the signal success of the min
stral performance of last Friday
night. We love classical music
and the higher attainments of
advanced civilization, but APP
preciate mirth provoking conf
calities none the less.
TO expect to see the staid and
solid business men Of the city APP
pear upon the stage az burnt
cork artists, is rare occurrence,
and perhaps can be said of few
towns out side of the Concho city.
But it is well that it is SO. 1t
demonstrates that our people are
democratic, and are not tied up
with the common notion that the
dignity of commercialism is the
sole line of conduct of their
lives. And in this occasion it
forcibly impresses the democracy
of the great order of the Wood
men of the World.
Evidently, the public was ex-
pecting a good thing, for the
house was well crowded, nearly
every reserve seat being taken
and the "roost" very well pat
ronized.
Philippi's orchestra, with the
addition of Cornetist Gonzales,
as a prelude, made some very ex-
cellent music, after which, the
curtain raised, exposing to the
expectant gaze of the audience
the regulation negro minstrel of
eye olden time end men, bones,
tamborine and all, and the fun
began, continuing with only oc-
casional intermissions to the
end.
The program was lengthy, be-
ing in two parts, but the audience
could have enjoyed another hour
with hearty zest.
The Introductory and chorus
overture, Coon, Coon, Coon
was most excellently rendered
and thus the audience was cap.
tivated to start with.
Next on the programme was 1
plantation melody, with chorus
entitled, Down Where the Cot,
ton Blossoms Grow" This was
rendered by Mr.. Head and was
vigorously applauded.
Then came, "l'm Going tc
Live Anyhow, Till | Die" com
ic selection, By Ed Harris, in /
manner that would have excitec

Following in order came, "Il
