for three years past until yesterday
Her improvement of late has been
very perceptible.
Mr.. Mossie states that the summer
range being defective on account of
the shortage of rain. the cattle did
not reach the fall season in prime
condition. and on that account the fall
sales of cattle have not been as Wig
orous as they would otherwise have
been, and the proportion of cattle
left in the Camas country is larger
than the cattle raisers expected and
hoped for. However, with the great
abundance of forage on hand and
splendid fail range, they can all put
their cattle in fine condition in COM
paratively short time.
Mr.. Mossie has 200 head of fine
stockers which will be full fed later,

DUAL LIFE OF
A SOCIETY Man
DEATH REVEALS HIM IN ROLE
OF BURGLAR.
KILLED WHILE ROBBINC BANK
Received Electric Shock When Cutting
Wires in Ofice-Friends Unable
to Account for His
Actions.

Montgomery, Ala.-Overtaken in q
twinkling by an awful fate, which sur
prised him under conditions in which
he would doubtless have welcomed death
rather than discovery, the body OF James
II. Hendricks, a member of one of the
Oldest families in Alabama and leader
In the younger social set, was found
on the veranda roof of the American
National Bank building at daybreak
one morning recently.
Near tho body, which was clothed in
the uniform of the Montgomery Grays,
the crack local militia company OF which
Hendricks was member. was a COM
plete set Of burglars tools. Directly
under the limp hand which hung over
the roof was a pair of pliers such as are
used in cutting wire.
1t was apparent that death had come
upon Hendricks while he was in the
act or ssverins the feed wire leading
to the electric arc light which illumi-
mated the safe in the main Office OF the
bank. That Hendricks should have been
caught in such death-trap seems we'll
nigh incomprehensible. In view of the
AdSI IudI ne was recently graduated
from the Polytechnic institute in At
lanta, where he learned much of the
principles OF electricity. The instant he
affixed the pliers to the live wire he was
electrocuted. A current of $500 voltage
shot through his body.
He was % years old and was a son of
Mrs. d. H. Hendricks, OF this city, and
nephew Of Bradford Hardie, a wealthy
wholesale drug dealer. His relatives are
well to do, and no reason is known why
he should be pressed for funds. He was
on close social terms with officials OF the
bank and knew well the arrangement OF
the bank building.
A policeman caught sight Of a mans
body on the veranda roof at day break.
Officials could Scarcely believe their eyes
when they recognized tho body as that of
Hendricks. The only mark was on the
inside Of the right hand. near the thumb.
where the handle OF the pliers had

Science and Moderate DRINKING

Thomas Easton, the noted English
physician. says: The dictum of sci
snce on the subject of moderate drink
ing is by no means ambiguous. Sci
ence does not support the plea that
alcohol is a harmless, pleasant bever-
age. 1t cannot support the plea of the
moderate drinker that alcohol is an
aid to health. But it does support the
position OF the total abstainer with
an emphasis which it is culpable to
disregard. 1t shows that the abstainer
can do more and better work. live
longer and be healthier than the mod
crate drinker. Science, in short, shows
that the asstsiner lives the normal
life, while the moderate drinker lives

and afforded a perfect medium for
circuit once they touched the live wire.
The supposition is that Hendricks was
accompanied by a confederate. He was
seen the previous day in company with
strange man who had been spotted"
during the day by Chief of Police Ger
AID This man is believed to have been
an expert craftsman who in some way
had won the confidence of Hendricks.
Entrance was to be gained through
the rear of the building, but 1t was
necessary to eXtinguish the arc light in
order to darken the ONCE where the safe
was situated 1t is believed Hendricks
climbed to the roof Of the veranda to
accomplish this difficult task There he
met his death.
The burglars tools were suspended
from the roof into an open court at the
back of the building by a length OF rope
brought from the armory Of the Mont
gomery Grays. They consisted OF q
brace and bit. n plate used in boring the
dial plate on the combinations Of safes,
several smaller tools and dynamite
fuses. In the young mans clothing were
found nitrogly cerin and dynamite in
sufficient quantities to have destroyed
the building.
Except for the blue shirt he wore the
Grays' uniform was not Hendricks. He
had taken from lockers in the armory
the hat and shoes OF Hunt Taylor and
the coat Of another member. His own
suit of citizens clothes was found later
in the armory. On the roof Of the bank
were found a comforter and blanket,
undoubtedly intended to mufie the sound
of the explosion when the attempt should
be made to blow open the safe. The
accident which resulted in Hendricks
death extinguished the arc light and also
lights in about 80 other places.
The friends OF the young man are
dumfounded and cannot account for his
actions. 1t Is thought by some that he
was the tool of some Of the experts who
came to the city with the street fair.
