Race War Started in Texas With
Probably Fatal Results.

Word reached Sour Lake, Texas.
Friday morning that a brakeman on
the Southern Pacific, Bud Thompson,
had been shot and fatally wounded
by negro at Nome Junction.
Indignation was expressed at Sour
Lake when this news was made pub
lie, and in few minutes notices were
posted in twenty-five or thirty con-
spicuous places about town. They
read: "Niggers, don't let the sun go
down on you in Sour Lake tonight"
AT night two camps of negroes were
raided by mob of 500 men. The ne
groes fed precipitately. About 100
shots were fired. 1t is noa known

The navy department, at the in

taken steps to prevent further inter-
ference with American shipping in

ment forces had detained two ships
belonging TO the Orinoco Steam Navi-

A YOUTHFUL RASCAL.
Clever D~eceptions Carried On by a 10
Year-old Austrian Girl.

Before a local Vienna police court
recently Hermine Pletieha, 16 years
old, a salesgirl in a toy shop, was sem
fenced to amonth's Imprisonment for
stealing from her employer, Franz
Potucek, who is now dead. The girl
had been in Potucek's service for
three years and during that time had
ingratiated herself with her master
and his family by a continuous series
of most extraordinary lies. While
working for ten kronen ($2) a month
and her board the girl told her EN-
ployer that she was a sister-in-law OF
a baroness and was herself married to
a baron, young Baron Rothschild,
from whom she would later get 8
large sum Of money to start Potucek
in a Wholesale business. She further
promised to procure from the emper-
or a title Of nobility for Potucek
and, in fact, produced documents pur.
porting to be a patent Of nobility
signed by Francis Joseph himself
Potucek and his wife appear to have
had implicit faith in the girls stories
and treated her with the Creates
-
kindness. Potucek believed her stor1
to the last and died happy in the be
lief that his wife would have a It'll,
and more than sufficient money tt
live upon. Meantime the girl is saic
to have stolen goods and none,
amounting to 1,600 kronen $500
The most casual investigation woulC
have shown that the girls story was
deception. There are only two Barol
Rothschilds in Vienna-one an elder
ly bachelor and the other a widowe
with only young children.-Chicag

L BUILT IN 1904.
Careful Estimates Show Over 5000
Miles Added Last Year.

A careful preliminary estimate
made by individual canvass of the
railroad companies, and supplement-
ed by our own records, fur
nished by the state railroad COM
missions and other sources of
information, shows that approx
imately 6,026 miles Of new
steam railroad has been built
within the United States between
January l and December 81, 1909,
says the Railroad Gazette. The fig
ures are exclusive Of second track,
sidings and all electric lines. Rebuilt
mileage is also excluded, except where
the work involved such extensive
changes in alignment that a new
route was established, as in the case
of the Southern Pacific between GER
tain points in Nevada.
Railroad building was reported
done in AZ states and territories, and
Oklahoma leads the list with track
laid on $40 miles of new line during
the year. Texas comes second, witt
496 miles; Arkansas is third, witt
371 miles, and Indian territory il
fourth, with 1863 miles. Georgi'
built 1856 miles during the year. Il
addition to these, Illinois, Iowa, Mis-
souri, and New Mexico show return
of over 200 miles built; and Alabama
California, Florida, Louisiana, Mich
igan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Ohio
Pennsylvania, Washington and Yves
Virginia built between 100 and 20
miles. No new steam mileage was re
ported from Alaska, Delaware, Idaho
Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jel
sey, Rhode Island or Wyoming.
