HE COULD FIND LOST MONEY
But by Working His Scheme
Henry Snipes Goes to Jail.
From the account the loser brings,
The eonjurer knows who stole the thI


Henry Snipes, a whilo m descend
ant of Ham whose age is some
where near the half century mark,
had what he thought was a very
smooth scheme.
By working his little scheme one
time too often the aforesaid Henry
Snipes got himself into the county
bastile with a charge of theft pre-
feTred against him.
Henry has lived in Waxahachie
several years and for some time
past he has been posing as cou-
jurer and among the more super
stitious OF his race he was held in
very much awe. One of Henry's
special feats was to find money that
had either beeeu lost or stolen and
return it 10 its proper owner, con-
ditioned, however, that he should
receive half the amount to recon-
pense him for his trouble. In the
practice of this Supposed magic art
ne was phenomenally successful and
several very important finds have
been made by him lately. A few
days ago $40 of the earnings saved
by the negress who cooks for County
Judge Lee Hawkins disappeared
I from the seTv ants house in rather
mysterious manner. The matter
was reported To the officers and they
began an investigation, looking to
the recovery Of the money. Satur-
/ day night Snipes visited the loser
. Of the money and offered to fiji d it
( for half. His offer was accepted
and he began work on the case.
/ He had with him two small Bibles
( which be claimed were very neces-
I sary in the practice OF his art. He
/ would open them, make a few mys-
/ tcrious turns OF the leaves with his
hands, then announce that he had
/ located the spot where the money
/ was hid. He left the house and
turned with the money which was
nicely wrapped up and concealed
! In a small tin box. After Feceiv
/ ing his share of the amount he
/ started to leave the house
when he walked into the arms of
( Officers Forbes Kennedy and Min
nick. The couiurer was marched to
and incarcerated in the county jail.

AN ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING
Impromptu 0ratorical Contest
Held at the Boys Hall.

Last night the young men of Trim
ity University gave the students of
the boys hall a very enthusiastic
surprise. Owing to some disagree
ment on account of one of their fell
low students being barred from the
local oratorical contest given at the
University last night to decide who
should represent Trinity Uuniver-
sity at the state meeting to be held
in Sherman about fifty of the most
enthusiastic students met at the
boys hall where the following pro-
gram was carried out:
Grafton, 1.-THE Young Man Of the
South, " by Mr.. Carter. This was
one of the ablest orations ever
delivered in Waxahachie. Mr.. Car
ter's delivery was excellent his
voice was clear, and the expression
of his face was good. Judging by
this effort he is destined to be
an orator of more than ordinary
ability.
Next on the program was solo,
THE Hash House" by Mr. Bent
ley, which was received with hearty
applause.
This was followed with music by
the band.
Mr.. J. Guy Jones and Mr.. Martin
Mcknight participated in "a very in
teresting oratorical contest.
The last feature of the program
was the wonderful adventures and
encounters Of Mr.. Coaker in his re-
cent trip around the world. This
proved very interesting to his fell
low students.
