BOUND BY UNHAPPY TIES
Divorce Docket will Make Good
Showing When Court Meets.

The September term of district
court convenes on Monday, 2Sth of
this month, and the day following
will be devoted by Judge billiard to
hearing complaints of those who
are bound by unhappy ties. From
present indications there will be
plenty doing on that day. The di
vorce docket is already heavier than
1t was at the last term of court and
new suIts are being filed daily.
Among the latest petitions filed
asking that the martial ties be an
nuled was one in which Edith Lutz
is plaintiff and John Lutz is defend
ant. Cruel treatment and abandon
ment are alleged.
X. A. Young has applied for a
legal separation from Laura Ysung
on the grounds that she abandoned
him in the city OF Dallas about three
years ago. He alleges Ia his petit
tion that he was married to the
defendant In Nashville, Tenn, Sep
tember "a, 1898, and moved imme-
diately to Dallas. About three
months thereafter he was left alone
ia "a cold, cruel world.
Jamie Thurder, who seeks to be
divorced from Frank Turner, alleges
cruel treatment and abandonment.
She claims that at the time Of her
marriage she was thirteen years old
and the defendant seventeen. They
moved TO the Indian Territory, after
which he began course of cruel
treatment toward her. While she
was i'll in bed he left herin destitute
circumstances
Allen Weeks has resorted to the
divorce court as "a great panacea
for an unhappy marriage relation.
He set forth the petition that his
wife, Hanna Weeks, has not de-
ported herself iust as a true wife
should, but has abandoned him to
90 with another coon, and be wishes
to have the martial bonds severed.

VICTIM OF TRAGEDY BURIED
Remains OF Mrs. will AileB Laid
to Rest Yesterday.

The remains of Mrs. viii Allen
the victim of Saturdays distress
ing tragedy, were inferred at the
City Cemetery yesterday afternoon
In the presence of a large number
of relatives and friends. The fun
eral services were conducted by
Rev. J. @. Putnam, pastor of the
Methodist church.
The particulars Of this terrible
affair will probably never be known
in full. The reporter visited the
Allen home in East End Saturday
afternoon soon after the killing, but
on account of the excitement and
confusion little could be learned of
the details. Justice of the Peace
Anderson was there to hold an in
quest, but the sisters of the dead
woman who were present when the
tragedy occurred, were 80 overcome
with grief they could not talk, and
these proceedings were deferred un-
til this morning.
From what the reporter could
gather it appears that two sisters of
Mrs. Allen were visiting her from
Milford, having been there perhaps
two or three days. Saturday after
noon they were making preparations
to return home and Mrs. Allen was
to accompany them. About 2:3O
Mrs. Allen picked up an old single
barrel, breech loading shot gun that
was ia the house, and which she
supposed was unloaded, and under
took 70 frighten the girls with it..
In a general scramble which took
place over the gun the weapon was
discharged and Mrs. Allen fell to
the floor with charge of shot in her
head and her face frightfuIly man
gled Neighbors who heard the
the girls screaming Immediately fol-
lowing the report of the gun rushed
to the house and when they reached
there found Mrs. Allen lying dead
in a pool Of blood on the floor.
Mrs. Allen was a young woman
and we are informed she had been
married less than year. Her hus-
band is hard working, industrious
young man, who is almost pros
trated with grief over the tragedy.

A Magic Silver Dollar.

A few days ago St, Louis drum
mer was displaying bis wares in a
certain business establishment in
this city. H incidentally remarked
TO those standing around that the
holder Of silver dollar coined in
lSg4 could go to the ST. Louis eN-
position and back without cost, or
even parting with the magic dollar.
The drummer had hardly gone from
the store when the proprietor made
an exploration OF his cash drawer
and sure enough there in the bottom
was a bright silver dollar with the
1894 mintage. but as to the potent
powers Of the coin he Is very much
In the dark. Itthere is any truth in
the drummer statement it has not
come 10 the knowledge Of the Light.
We doubt seriously n there is any
foundation for such a report. IL is
perhaps roaming free silvervagaTy
run wild. So far as our information
goes il will require quite a collec-
tion OF silver dollars Of any year 5
mintage To see the big show at St.
Louis next year. a dollar coined
in 1894 will no doubt pay for a ticket
at the fair gate. but for OthsT incl
dentals it would be prudent for one
contemplating the trip 10 make
other arrangements.

An Original Defense.

Two aborigines of Formosa, who
were arrested in the Hosan province,
were recently sentenced to death for
having murdered policeman. Their
defense was original. They said they
meant no harm; they killed the po-
liceman merely for joke.
Under cross-examination, they said
it was only after the japanese had
come to the island that they had
heard that the murder of a man was
considered bad deed.
In reply to question as to whether
they felt happy in killing the police
man, the prisoners replied yes, they
felt very happy.
This is the first occasion on which
one of the aborigines has been SEN
fenced to capital punishment since
the Japanese took over Formosa.
A remarkable feature of this case
that will occur to everyone, is how
closely the Holligan of London APP
proaches In his sense OF humor the
aborigines Of Formosa.

NIGHT AND MORNING.

You turned the glory of your eyes
And woke a world of light!
/ saw the regal morn arise
On dim, far heights of Paradise,
And take from flaming seas and skies
Their sacramental rite.
You turned the glory of your eyes
And left-a world of night;
For now, though other mornings rise,
Dusk-haunted are my daily skies,
And lonely is the path that lies
Before my lonely sight.
But when nights legions hold the skies
IN rapt, attentive light,
Then, in the land of dreams grown wise,
l see through your remembered eyes
Gods morning sweet and stainless rise
On LIES forgotten night.

elapsed when a scream rent the quiet
air, a sharp, boyish cry of terror
At the second cutlery, louder and
shriller than the first, Rossiter sat
up. A naked form was leaping wild
ly about upon the river bank, with
one terrified shrek after another. To
ROSTERS ears the shouts now re-
solved themselves into
Help! help!"
The awakened man was on his feet
IN an instant. In such an emergency
as this his habitual indecision did
not show itself. Off went his cap,
coat and shoes, and away he sprang
over the sward towards the dis
traught figure. He was naturally
fleet of foot and his muscles were
hard from hundreds of leagues of
tramping.
The youth, for such Rossiter saw
the shouter to be, grew more frantic
as he realized that aid was approach
ing, turning first towards the stream
and then in the direction from which
assistance was coming.
ooh, quick! be quick!" he cried,
but now his voice seemed to fail
him, and he did little more than ut
ter series of incoherent sounds.
Once within view of the river, Ros-
sitter was not slow to grasp the sit
uation. In mid-stream was a bather,
who, by spasmodic action of one
hand, was just contriving to keep
his head above the surface. He was
swallowing great gulps of water with
every movement, and was unques-
tionably on the verge of sinking.
'Stick to TT" yelled Rossiter, with
out slackening speed, "I'll be with
you in a minute
One spring took him down upon
the caked mud below the overhanging
sod, and second carried him waist
deep into the river. Then he struck
out with vigorous strokes. He APP
preached the exhausted swimmer
cautiously, knowing if he would save
him he must not allow himself to be
caught in his drowning grip. When
| just beyond the reach of his arm
he paused. The poor fellow made a
frantic effort to seize hold upon him
| but Rossiter was watchful and easily
| eluded his grasp. 1t was like the last
flicker of a dying fame. With a
| gasp and gurgle the man gave over
the struggle. Here was Rossiter's op-
portunity, and he was alert to i'm
prove it. As the sinking bather's
head was disappearing he gave a
powerful forward plunge. Out went
his hand, and his strong fingers were
fastened in mop of soaking hair
There was but spark of conscious
ness left in the body of the mar
when Rossiter jerked his head above
water. H. was well-nigh a dead
weight, and his rescuer had no diff
