In Ohio Town.

From Rio Grande, o., comes the
story OF the strange death of Mrs. Celia
Bandy, widow of that village, who is
said to have died from snake-charm-
ing. Mrs. Bandy's cat was transfiXed
by the glance of black snake six feet
long. Snatching a club, the woman
rushed to the garden to rescue her cat,
and after dealing the snake blow,
fell to the ground, and, despite med
ical aid, died in a short time without
regaining consciousness. The snake
was killed, and many believe that Mrs.
Bandy was charmed by the snake, her
death resulting.

bureau of forestry, the Importance of
which may be realized by the enormous
gain in profits it secures for the tur-
pentine operator. BY a new method of
tapping trees, called the cup-ano-gut-

increase over the old method of % per

high grades Of rosin.
The demonstration of this increase

COUNTY COURT.

This court since Tuesday morn
ing has been engaged with the
Chamlee "Local option cases." of
which there are eight on the dock
ct. In the first of these cases
taken up Tuesday, M. c. Chamlee
is charged with having sold a bottle
of whisky to Joe Garrison. The
evidence, in substance disclosed the
following facts;
That said Garrison and others,
had with defendant Chamlee order
ed of a Kansas City house, several
bottles of whisky. said other par
ties, advancing to defendant there
for the cost price Is cents per
quart; that defendant sent the or.
ders; that said whisky arrived here

ness; that upon its receipt, about a
week after the purchase price was
advanced, those paying it received
notice and came in and got their
portion.
Buie & Rollins assisted the Coun-
ty Attorney in the prosecution, and
Messrs. Sowder, Merrill and Reeder
appeared for the defendant.
The jury was composed of
Jerome Baird, Ed Baird, G. P.
Money, S. J. Pottinger, J. NJ. Pos
tern and J. D. Knox.
The case was given to the jury
under the charge of the court We'd
nesday evening about 3 p. m. and
at q p. m. the jury returned into
court verdict of guilty, assessing
the punishment at fine of SIS
and imprisonment in the county
Jail for period of 20 days.
Defendants counsel say that the
case will be carried to the courts of
last resort.
A companion case was next tried
in which defendant was alleged to
have sold a quart of whiskey to Mike
Hileman. The evidence was prac-
tically the same as in the first case,
but not quite so strong in some
particulars. The jury was the
same as in the first case except that
T. F. Reid and E. D. Harrell were
substituted for Jerome Baird and
| S. J. Pottinger. In the opinion of
the News reporter, the charge of
the court was more favorable to
the defendant than in the prior
trial-a special charge also being
given which required the jury, be-
fore they could convict, to believe
from the evidence, that sale of
said quart of whiskey had been
made by said defendant, Chamlee,
to Mike HeiIeman in Randall coun-
ty, Texas. This case was sub
mitted to the jury at 4:3o p. m.
yesterday evening and at o:3o p.
m. said jury returned into court
and reported no verdict and no
likelihood of any whereupon by
consent of all parties said jury was
discharged. The jurors stood 4 for
and against conviction.
There is now some talk of con-
tinuing these cases to await the
action of the criminal court of APP
pealS on the first one tried.

Two of our townsmen, j. H.
Dunbar and AL Weese, had a
lively scrap on the Square We'd
nesday. 1t was the result of a
dispute about compensation for

the contestants were separated.
The physical damages are visi-

The News man is a novice when
it comes to writing a good potato
yarn that would do justice to the
plains, but it can say from personal
observation that they grow as large
here they do down in fine "Sandy
Land" from whence that good old
song Great big Taters in Sandy
Land" emanated. Sam Shotwell
sent in a specimen for our inspec-
ton the other day that was grown
on his place 3 miles south of town
that must have been as large as
near as we can draw a comparison
as a Navigation measure and they
are of the variety too that one
mouth full and swallowed calls for
another, unlike some of the dry
weather potatoes that we have eat
on that would not 60 down without
a monkey-wrench as a wrench

under the guiding hand of our
painter artist, Tom Cochran,
has given the premises decid-
ed modern appearance. Money
iudiciously expended on home
always pays even if you don t
expect to live there "forever
and then it adds to the prestage
of the town as we'll.
B. E. Cobb, our worthy post
master, never misses an opportunity
of herading abroad the great and
glorious news that we have good
country here to live in and that he
wants more people here to help en-
joy it, which is by no means sell
fish spirit. We might also add
that he is not real estate agent
nor has he anything to sell to pros
pectors. Wednesday morning he
brought to our notice a specimen
of an onion that was not only a
beauty on account of its enormous
size, but was well proportioned and
uniform in shape. 1t was raised on
George Sims's place 8 miles west
of town, on a I acre block of ground
and was irrigated from well with
windmill. Mr.. Simms realized
400 bushels of large onions from
this acre of ground, which, at the
market price prevalent now OF 3
cents per pound, would bring the
neat little sum of 500. These
figures will beat cotton patch of
east Texas, at the present high
price of that staple.
