TWO years ago, after Jack Beall
county for congressional honors,
each and every citizen went to work
with vim to help him carry Hill
and Bosque counties, which would
give him the nomination. Many Ell
lis county citizens went in person to
Bosque and Hill counties and did
yeoman service in placing him be-
fore the voters of those counties.
Mr.. Skinner, who had been Beall' s
local opponent, went into those
counties and did heroic wark for his
former antagonist, and for this I'M
selfish act we all honor him, and
will support him for the state senate
this year, If he wants the office.
While that memorable fight is still
fresh in our minds, and the good
work dcnc landed Jack IL Washing
ton, member of congress,
we want to call attention to
the fact that Ellis county
alone is not entitled to all the credit
for electing Beall. Hon. w. e.
Wear, OF Hiilsboro, one of the ablest
attorneys at the Hill county bar, or
of any other county, for that mat
ter, during that campaign closed his
office, quit his practice and went
out week after week and spoke day
and night for Beall. With all the
heroic work Mr.. Wear and others
did we only carried Hill into the
Beall column by a close shave, and
1t is our opinion that without the
bel. of Mr.. Wear in Bosque aud Hill
counties Beall stooa a fine show for
defeat. Ellis county people now
have an opportunity to repay in kind
the service then rendered by Mr.,
Wear. He is now a candidate for
Attorney General OF Texas, and Ell

History OF Brokers' Crime.

The crime for which Brozier Smith
today paid the penalty with his life
was committed about Ii o'clock on
the night of February "a, 1908.
Brozier and his wife lived in the
servants house at the home of At
torney Yancy d. Kemble on College
street. For a few weeks prior to the
murder Brozier had been cooking at
a local restaurant and his wife was
cooking and doing general house
work for the family of Mr.. Kemble.
| On the night of the killing Brokers'
wife, together with three or four
| feminine friends, attended a show at
| the opera house. Brozier objected
| to hisIwife attending shows and it is
: said on more than one occasion he
| reprimanded her for going. Sus-
pecting that she would attend on
| house and called for her. When
| told that she was in the house he
| hung around the door until after the
performance. Instead of accom-
panying his wife home he followed
behind. His wife reached home first
and was preparing to retire when
Brozier entered the house. Closing
| the door behind HIM he began ours
ing and abusing his wife for going to
the show. without giving her time
to say anything in defense of her ac-
ton he drew 38-caliber revolver
and fired at her four times at close
range. Three of the shots took eff
feet. One broke the wOman's neck,
another passed entirely through her
body aud the third entered the fore
head lust above and between the
eyes.
Leaving lis wife weltering in her
life-bIood Brozler fled from the
scene Of his crime. He went to a
saloon in Freedman where he very
coolly made the announcement that
he had done the dirty work. "
When asked what he meant he re-
Piled that he had killed his wife, and
showed bloodlon his hands as a veri-
fication of his statement. Leaving
the saloon Brozier came up town
wnere he was arrested by Jailer
Minnick When taken in custody
by the officer Brozier had reloaded
his revolver and had four extra car
tridges in his pocket.
Three or four days after his inear-
ceration in the county jail Brozier
was indicted by the grand jury,
which convened the day the crime
was committed

REFUSED A RAISE.

President Mitchell Declares Motion
to Increase Salary Lost.
indianapolis, Jan. 29.-The United
Mine Workers have completed the work
of the fifteenth annual convention.
The joint wage conference with the
operators is now in progress.
The operators will make the asser-
tion that while the miners are not ask :
ing for an increase in the mining scale
now in effect, the run Of mine basis
and the differential of Z cents fiat
would mean heavy increase. The
present mining contract, covering all
operations in four districts, will expire
April 1.
President Mitchell practically de-
clined an increase of -, 200 year in
his salary when a resolution was intro
duced to increase it from $4,000 to
$4,000. When put to a vote it seemed
that fully two-thirds Of the house vot-
ed aye. He declared the resolution
lost, and when there was call for a
division he ignored it. With rap of
his gavel he declared the motion lost,
and closed the debate.
indianapolis was chosen for the con-
vention next year, and President Mitch
ell, Wee President Lewis and Secretary
Wilson were unanimously reelected.
