Judge Lee Riddle OF Stephenville,

ing a brief visit with his old-time
friend. L. j. Johnson. Mr.. Riddle
has been a prominent lawyer of his
section for a number Of years and is
now president OF the First National
bank OF Stephenville. During the last
congressional campaign Judge Riddle
was a candidate for congress from
his district The district con aims
several counties and when the nomin-
ating convention was held there were
three candidates. Judge Riddle con
trolled four Of the seven but his coun-
ties were sparsely settled and he
did not have a sufficient number Of
votes to elect. The convention, how
ever. was dead-locked and adjourned
without endorsing a candidate. A sec
ond convention was held and no re-
suits reached. When. the third con
vention met the race was clearly be-
tween Riddle and Gillespie Of Fort
Worth After balloting until every
body was worn out the friends Of the
two men arranged a compromise
measure. The names Of the oppos-
ing candidates were written on sep
arate sheets OF paper and rolled into
ball. placed in a hat and the first
name drawn out should receive the
nomination. Nomination in Texas or
the Democratic ticket means election
and each man was so near the door
OF congress that his heart beat audi
bly, when the roll OF paper was
drawn and dnrolled il bore the name
Of Gillespie and he is today congress

WYOMING MURDERER
WILL HANG HIMSELF
Automatic Scaffold to Be Employed by
Sheriff to End the Life of
Tom Horn.

CHEYENNE. Wyo., Oct. H.-Sheriff
E. J. Smalley has ordered plans drawn
for the scaffold upon which Tom Horn,
the cattle detective, will be hanged on
November 20. James p. Julien, an arcuI-
tect. Will make them.
Julien formerly resided here. In 1892
when Charlie Miller. ffteen-year o
boy. was sentenced TO hang, Sheriff 4.
ID. Kelley. now prominent grocer. had
computations about executing the lad.
He was talking with Julien one day.
when he expressed his feelings on the
matter. and julien, who possesses con-
siderable genius as an inventor. told
Kelley that he thought he could con-
struct galIows which would work au-
Dramatically and thus save his feelings.
Sheriff Kelley told Julien to go ahead
and the Mills- scaffold was the result
The simplicity Of construction OF this
gallows makes its operation sure. When
the condemned nan steps on the trap

water under the sca6old. and when this
vessel becomes empty counterbalance

trap. letting the drop fall and sending
the prisoner into eternity. This IS the
gallows TO oe used In the Tom Horn
case.

desired tire. IN the Miller case it was
set for one minute. and Miller went
plunging through the drop in just nifty

pat for the remaining five and half
months Of the present coal year on the
April price, which is 81 per ton at the
mines
To make an official reduction from the
April prices, IT is said. would seriously
affect existing contracts. which under
their terms require that any reduction
Will apply equally 70 any portion OF
the contract nncOmplcted at the time of
such reduction Furthermore, IL is
argued that any reduction In the prices
made now would have TO be borne en-
tirely by the operators. as both the
wage scale and the freight rates are
fixed for the year and no concession IN
that direction can be expected.
BY waiting until nexS April, when the

believed that unless conditions change
very materially. both the railroads and
labor situation will cooperate toward
lower prices. Ia the meantime. II the
