TRIPLE TRAGEDY
Bad Blood Results in Killing of Three
 Men at Orange, Texas

Jeff Chenault, City Marshall Jordan and Tony Jones, weie killed in a shooting affray at Orange, Texas, last Wednesday.
 Bad blood is said to have existed be- tween Chenault and Will Harris, well known young man, for some time. The two met and after war of words, Harris secured double barrel shotgun and killed Chenault. Harris ran to escape the fire of Chenault's brother, but was apprehended by City Marshal Jordan, who was close at hand. While the officer was conducting young Harris to jail, he was shot and killed and his prisoner escaped. It is not known who killed Jordan, although there was a large number of people on the street at the time of the tragedy.
 Will Harris was later arrested and placed in iail At this juncture his brother, James Harris, started for a nearby store, declaring that he would take part in the affair. It is alleged that Tony Jones handed Harris gun after which the former jumped into a buggy and as he was driving away officers appeared on the scene and opened fire on Jones, inhicting wounds from which he died few moments later.

$s,000, ,OOO or $1O, ,OO0, ,O00, if not more; but once the service is completed the additional revenue derived will soon reduce the deficits to present fguers, if not entirely wipe them out.
 During the year 1902, l2, ,403 petitions for the service were filed, making a total on July last of 22, ,646 which ex- ceeded by over two thousand the total number during the previous four years.
 Since July. petitions received have averaged over six hundred month. With the amount requiredlfor routes to begin December l, the entire appro- priation has been absorbed leaving on December l, fully seventeen hun dred routes for which there is no ap- propriation available. This number probably will be increased by January l to at least twenty five hundred. Mir. Wynne and MT. Machen say that to comply with the demands of the people and of members of congress the depart ment will require an additional appro- priation; otherwise further establish ment of service will be deferred until July next. If the additional funds are granted, fifteen thousand rural free delivery letter carriers will be in ac. tive service by May l. Tho estimate calls for ten division superintendents, an increase of three in number.
 On July last the city free delivery service embraced 933 cities, including four in the insular possessions, and the total number of uniformed letter car- riers in the city service was 17,S75 as against 16, ,3S9 the previous year. It is estimated that the free delivery will be extended to seventy.two offices dur ing the current year. It is also esti- mated that the expenditure will aggre- gate $2l 1928, 300 for the maintenance and extension of city delivery service during the fiscal year beginning July l, 1903, including $Sl2, 1000 for special delivery service, which branch has been added to the free delivery system during the past year. These figures show an increase over appropriations for the current year of $1 ,S22, $50.

This total is some- thing over s4,000,0 in excess of the Alaska output for the entire calendar year 1901, 1.-the figures for that year being $14, ,675,675.
 In the output for the fast ten months is included $25O,OOO expected to arrive from the Klondike before January l, and $l, 1850, ,6O0 expected from Nome. |

Alaskan Boundary

Lieutenant George T. Emmons, U. s N, retired, has made to the secre- tary of state his report upon the re- suits of his investigation along the Alaskan boundary of certain stories which have found frequent repetition in late years to the effect that monu- iments have been discovered marking the real boundary line between Alaska and the British Northwest Territory at a point many leagues further from the sea than the British have been willing to admit. Lieutenant Emmons was selected for the work of inquiring into the subject because he was thoroughly familiar with the country in which the supposed boundary stones exist He spent most of the past summer in the region and has now reached conclu- sion. The state department at this time will not make the report public.
 The inquiry is regarded as but one chapter in long series of investiga- tions which have been going on for. the past ten years under the auspices of the state department. It is said the department las investigated promptly every rumor bearing on the existence of boundary monuments which pre- scented the least appearance of plausi- .bility.

A STORM AT NOME Eight Men Drowned and Three Vessels Driven Ashore

No less than eight men were drowned, three vessels driven ashore and prac- tically every lighter on the Nome beach was wrecked in storm which commenced on Tuesday, October IA, and continued the following day. These facts are supplied by Purser Robertson of the Ohio, which arrived Thursday. The known dead are: Frank Kelly, Geo. Robertson, George Flueth, Sam Josephson.
 A dozen or more people were thrown into the surf and rescued by the fife saving crew.
 The schooner Louise, the steamer Elk and the launch Fleet Wing were among the larger craft wrecked on the beach. In each instance the crews were rescued or managed to reachthe shore. The storm caused the water to back up in Snake river and Dry creek, and Dry creek bridge was carried away.

Thp Rural Delivery

The annual gross cost of complete rural free delivery service throughout the United States will approximate $24 ,000, ,000, according to the annual re- port which First Assistant Postmaster General Wynne received from August w. Machen, general superintendent of the service. The remaining 700, 900 square miles not now covered by rural free delivery service, according to the report, will require the employment of 26, 900 or P ,000 carriers in addition to those now employed, making the entire force of carriers when the extension of the service is completed, within the next three years, 4O,0OO. After this extension is completed the annula rate of increase in the appropriation is ex- pected not Ito exceed or per cen: the rate maintained in the other branches of the postal service.
 To extend the service 12,000 routes a year until it becomes universal, the report says, will require such largely increased appropriations that the an- nual postoftice deficit for the ensning two or three years will probably reach

SUN STARTS FIRE

The sun and the water in an ordi- nary glass pitcher played a queer and dangerous prank at Indio Friday. Mrs. E. L. Ferri discovered curtain burn ing in her house, in a room where no fire had been for weeks, and traced the blaze to singular origin.
 The filled pitcher had been left in an open window, and the curtain had fallen behind it. The suns rays struck the water and glass in such a manner that the rays were focused directly upon the curtain, and fire resulted. The combination made strong and peculiar sunglass.
