evidence in the inquest goes to
show that Horton did not speak n
word, from the time he left home,
after eating his dinner, to any
one after he shot Moore. lie

ironing and pushed her backward
onto n cot, and emptied both bar
rels of the gun, loaded with buck
shot, into her side, supposed, as
as she was falling, or in the scuIlle

He then reloaded the gun, cooked
both barrels, and kneeled down
on the floor, placed the muzzle lii
his mouth and pulled both trig-
gers. Only one barrel discharged
which was enough to blow his
head Off; and that ended that
part of his work.
The people up town heard the
report of the gun, and supposed
he was killing his wife or some of
the children, went down and
found the cot on fire, caught from
the gun, and the woman's clothes
burned off, down to her waist
They extinguished the fire, and
left everything as they found it,
until the justice of the peace ar
rived, and proceeded with the
inquest, and examined every wit

thing about it, They could find
no motive, whatever, for the deed.
Earl Moore and Horton were the
best of friends, and never had n
cross word, that anyone knew any

MURDER And SUICIDE.
c. J. Horton County Commissioner
of Runnels County Kills Earl Moore
His Own Wife and Suicides.

News was received at Ballinger
Saturday about noon, that c.. j.
Horton, II prominent citizen and
county commissioner, had MUIR
dered Earl Moore, Il highly res
pected young merchant at Win
gate, his (lIorton's) wife. and
had suicided.
By request Mr.. A. w. Sledge,
editor of the Ballinger Ledger has
written particulars of the awful
tragedy for The Press; which he
obtained from County Attorney
b. b. Stone, who conducted the
inquest, shortly after the tragedy
occurred, being summoned to
| Wingate by telephone message,
together with Sheriff r p. Kirk
Following is the account as
written by Mr.. Sledge:
About a week or ten days be-
fore the tragedy, Horton tried to
buy some shells, loaded with buck
shot, at Wingate. He could not
get them there, so on Thursday,
before the killing Saturday, he
goes over and borrows n dozen
from n neighbor, McNay. Fri
day, before the killing Saturday,
he goes up town, (he lived about
one mile from Wingate.) and
stands around with his shot gun
and told several that he had been
hunting curlew, and no one sus-
pected anything more Saturday,
after eating his dinner, he took
his gun and walked up towards
town, and met DR.. Wyatt and
Earl Moore, who were both re-
turning from their dinner, in the
road, about 100 yards from
Moore's store, and when in about
II feet, he shot Moore in the
left side, just as Moore turned to
get out of the way. Moore fell
on his knees and said; "don't do
that, Mr.. IIorton!" Horton
walked up and placed the muzzle
of the gun to Moore's head and
emptied the other load in Moore's
head, tearing it all to pieces. He
threw the shells out of his gun,
and DR.. WYATT asked Horton
what he shot Moore for, and llor-

but acted as above stated. There

The oldest, a on year old girl)
took the baby and all the child
rem and ran off to a neigh bors,
when he begin to shoot Mrs. Hor-
ton, but the 8 year old girl stood
IN the door during the whole time.
The children saw they never heard
their father and mother speak a
cross word to each other. Mrs.
Horton was q Mrs. Sun, and mar
ried Horton three or four years
ago. Three of the children were
Suns and the other two Horizons.
Mr.. Horton was well liked in
Wingate, Ballinger, and Runnels
county. lie had just been elect
ed to his second term as county
commissioner, and everybody
SAYS he has made the best COM
missioner the county ever had {.
lie was a smart man and took Il
great interest in the county )

ness as usual, went down below

the only thing that showed any
previous thought of the trouble,
was the trying to buy the shells,

w. ID. Currier Makes A Change.

The wonderful growth of the
little city of Miles, in Runnels
county, has been cause Of much
comment of the most favorable
kind. While much of this growth
is due to the fertility and general
attractiveness of the surrounding
country, another and quite i'm
portant factor has been the pres
ence of quite number of enter
prising and public spirited men
in the community, and in this
particular there is one who is
generally in the lead and always
in the front rank, and that gentle
man is Mr.. w. d. Currier. Until
recently he has been publishing
the Miles Messenger, and, in addi-
ton, conducting a real estate and
insurance business. but his affairs
had assumed such proportions
that he found it necessary to con-
centrate and for that reason sold
his newspaper property and is now
devoting his attention to the real
estate business, exclusively.
During his residence in this Sec
ton Mr.. Currier has formed
numerous acquaintance and made
many fast friendships, besides

Peat to RerIace Coal.

Successful tests have been made of
the turf or bog Of the New Jersey low
lands around West New York to as
certain whether it can be used as a
substitute fuel in place of coal or coke
for the winter season. Experts on
Irish peat dug up great churiis of the
turf recently and took the samples to
blacksmith shop. 1t was Iound to
burn readily on the forge after it had
once become dry. 1t tIrred to
ruddy glow and seemed to hold it's
ire as long as anthracite or soft coal
when once kindled. There is almost
an unlimited quantity of the turf, Or

New York. Along the tracks of the
Hudson Heights street railroad to the
south and east for more than a mile
there is a wide spreading meadow of
