A FATAL ARRAY.
One Man Killed and Four Wounded
So Near Nacogdoches.

On Sunday afternoon an ARRAY occur
red at Manton, a camp thirteen miles
below Nacogdoches, Tex, where several
hundred men are employed in clearing
and preparing land for an orchard.
Among the men are a number of Mex
leans. The camp was in charge of a
young man, Nathan MCGEE. A dispute
arose among some Mexicans over a
game of cards When MCGEE attempted
to restore order he was assaulted by two
Mexicans. In defending himself he shot
one of the Mexicans and was shot at the
same time by one of the assaulter5. AS
he fell he shot third man and before
expiring he MORALLY wounded the
fourth assailant, who will die. The ne
groes in this camp have been aroused
against the Mexicans, but no further
trouble is apprehended.

A Squirrel Colony,

Brandywine Manor has large colony
of gray squirrels, but no shooting is per-
mltted near the village, the squirrels
being the pets Of all the residents Of
the place.
A number Of years ago the late Will
liam Rettew, who resided In the vii
lage, discovered a number of squirrels
In the garnet of his house and cared for
them. Then he became imbued with
the idea Of protecting all the squirrels
In the vicinity. In the garnet he ar
ranged neat nests for them and fed all
that came. The humber multiplied
rapidly, and they gradually established
homes in the trees in the. woodland
near his home.
The worst enemy of the gray squire.
II the red squirrel. and Mr.. Rettew be-
gan war of determination against the
latter, which he kept up until his death.
Then his son continued the work, and
today there are hundreds of gray squir-
rels In the woods for a mile around the
village. but few red ones. Every resi-
dent considers 1T his duty to kill red
squirrel wherever found.
During the summer the animals may
be seen playing about the trees in ev-
cry direction, and they are often found
In the houses of the residents.

ROOSEVELT AND HIS COLORED
BROTHER.

! A great deal of space. is being wasted
over the criticism of President Roose-
welt who persists in entertaining mig
gers in his private or official capacity.
1T is matter of taste which concerns
Roosevelt, who may be left alone to the
enjoyment of his relations with his COL
ored brother. Southern men, especially
the accredited representatives of the
South, should maintain the dignity of
their positions and their self-respect as
gentlemen, by giving Mr.. Roosevelt all
the latitude he may desire in his asse-
citation with his colored brother. Why
should any gentleman attend gather
ing where the guests invited are not
congenial? If left to his own selection
of associates and there are niggers of
high or lew degree, Roosevelt will soon
realize that while he is strenuous
self-willed" man, man of great and
resourceful energy, that he can not,
after all, alter the leopards spots, nor
change the laws of nature. Let Roose-
welt enjoy to the fullest his relationship
and companionship as his taste and
fancy may suggest. Give him full swing
in the enjoyment of his receptions and
his recognition of the negro as his So
cial and political equal. The negro is
perfectly right in accepting every re-
cognition from Mr.. Roosevelt and he
should insist on greater considerations,
but let it be borne in mind that men
more powerful than Roosevelt have
failed in the impossible.

When Patti Says Farewell.

In connection with the report that
Nine. Patti contemplates one more
American tour next summer this story
Is told: Baron Cedarstrom, the diva's
youthful husband, called on an Amer
lean manager In London so1ne months
ago and said he thought 1t would be q
good idea for Patti to tour the country
in concert, adding that it might be an.
nounced as her farewell appearance.
The manager gazed mildly at the
young man and seemed making a men,
tai calculation. Then he said: Il was
going to say that your wife must have
made her last farewell tour of the
United States before you were born,
but that would have been an exagger-
alton. But 1t must have been while
you We're learning your letters in Swe
den; SO, you see, the plans not alto

WHISKEY CRAZED.
w. S. Wilson Shot by Sergeant Gerald
in the Hunter Hotel.

Monday morning w. S. Wilson,
whose name is also William Snoder,
was shot by Sergeant Gerald in the
Hunter hotel, near the Union Depot.
Wilson or Snoder is from Texas and
had a railroad ticket to Tuscaloosa.
Ala. There was also found on his per-
son $33 in money, gold watch and an
|enipty flask which had contained whis-
key The man had been laboring under
an intense nervous strain-an halluei-
nation during which he believed he
was being robbed. Being noisy and dis
orderly and refusing to be quoted, a
policeman was called. Sergeant Gerald
being on duty near by, answered the
summons and was soon joined by Pa
tro1nlan Byland. Wilson had locked
himself in a room which he was per-
suadcd to open by woman As VIII.
son opened the door he rushed out with
an open knife with a tl1ree-inch blade,
with which he slashed at Patrolman
Byland, whose garments were cut in
several places. One of these slashes
pricked the skin over Bylands heart
Wilson had become crazed and was un:-
comfortable. He was on murder bent,
and Sergeant Gerald realizing the ener-
gency, frd on shot and Wilson fell.
Fortunately he was not killed, but he
struggled desperately before the knife
was wrencl1ed from his hand.
The shot passed through the muscles
Of the abdomen and intestines and is not
considered dangerous. Wilson will
doubtless recover An investigation into
the shooting leads to the justification Of
Sergeant Gerald. Besides the police Of
hcers, others in the hallway were in
Danger Of being stabbed and killed.

1t Is interesting to know that the

BARRIERS PUT TAX ON
CURLED NUSTACHES
Razor Wielders Decide to Charge
for Making Twists.

PORTLAND. Ore. Sept. 17.-Robert
Burdette gave a lecture in Portland a
short time ago on The Downfall of the
Mustache." Among other things he
predicted that the mustache would soon
be nothing more than a memory of
bristilng days
Whether he knew what the barbers of
Portland intended TO do is unknown;
but at any rate they have dealt
a deathblow 10 mustaches They Will
hereafter charge 9 cents for every mus
tache they have 20 curl. Heretofore that
has been thrown in with every shave
or haircut, and with all the latest ton
serial twists.
Now the BARRIERS have reached the
unanimous conclusion that Il is wise
move TO tax Injuries as we'll as neces-
stiles. They argue that everything a
man wears is taxed except his mustaehe.
and that 1t is high time to put a little
duty upon that instead OF so much i'm
ported bay rum and wax.
While the mustache may become ex-
timer by what some are pleased TO term
the mercenary act OF the BARRIERS. the
latter say that no tears will be shed

and beads where the pieces are joined.
The teeth attached to this robe were
