Chairman Paine said this morninp
BY humins the irrigating bitches we
disclosed state OF affairs that xa
suspected existed and that WAS that .
large per cent of the water DEVELOPED
comes from irrigating bitches. The
uncoVerms of underground channels
and Us and the Tuning of the bitches
settled that question beyond all doubt.
We found Saturday that less than
100000 gallons a day is flowing from
the two pipe lines and in NV opinion
this amount would be greatly reduced
by keeping the irrigating bitches con-
fined III the fumes for any length of
time.
Unless future work would deyelon
sufficient supply of water l do not
believe the city can afford to spend
any money caring for what has already
been developed. The amount is too
small to fool with What a iudiciOus
amount of future development work
would result in is something for ex-
pertS to solve

MISSOURI A NEWS.
A Shocking Double Tragedy.

Edward Hardin was found MORALLY
wounded in his yard and his hired man
dead in the house by ]. NJ Boyd and
W. L. McCutchens when they visited
Hardin's place neaf Upton. Hardin
had been shot, apparently at close
range, with a shotgun, and had lain
helpless and mortapy wounded for
some time in the yard. He was picked
up by Boyd and McCutchens and taken
to the house, where it was found that
the doors were locked. On breaking
into the place a grewsome spectacle
was disclosed. Lying on the bed in the
~sleeping-room was the corpse of the
hired man, who had apparently locked
himself in the house, after shooting
his employer, and committed suicide
by sending the contents of the shot
gun into his head. The two men &C.
cupied the house alone and it is not
known what led to the killing.

Dunkirk, N. Y, Jan. 25.-Miss Han,
nah Hall, so years of age, was MUIR
dered Sunday at her home in Van
Buren, by her brother, Isaac Hall, who
gave himself up to the police. Hall,

obeyed the divine behest when he
killed his sister. He attacked her
when she was asleep, first shooting
her. Then, dragging the wounded
woman through the house, he cut her
throat, and finally placed her neck
across a chopping block and COM
pletely severed the head from the

FIRE WIPES OUT
SOUR LAKE, TEX
Four Business Blocks of the Town
Reduced to Ashes.
LOSS AGGREGATING $500, 900
rho Flames Swept Through h
Frame Buildings Like k,ndling
WOOd-NO Fire Department
Renders Citizens PowerIess.

Dallas, Tex, Jan. 25.-The business
portion of Sour Lake was wiped out
by fire Sunday night. The flames
caught among the frame buildings like
they were kindling wood and swept
on through the town, which was help
less. There is no fire department, and
it was only by almost superhuman eff
forts that the citizens checked the
flames and prevented the destruction
of the residence section. Four blocks
in all were reduced to ashes.
For a time it was thought the oil
so far from town that the flames did
not communicate.
The losses are in the neighborhood
of $4,000 only partly covered by in
surance, as the companies would not
write large risks because of the in
f1ammable environment of the oil dis
!! tricts and the character of the build
ings, which were all frame.
The principal business institutions
in the fire district were the First ma
tional bank, the Sour Lake national
bank, post office, telephone exchange,
Oriental hotel, Spencer Drug Co.,
White Oil Co.'s building, Southern Pa
ciic station, electric light plant, and
a score or more of small business con
Germs in tents, all of which are be-
lieved to have been burned. The town
had about 10000 inhabitants.
Telegraph wires are down and in
formation from there is meager. A
telephone message from Sour Lake at
1890 verifies former reports. Four
| blocks of business concerns were
burned.
Sour Lake is in darkness, and a
| strong patrol of citizens is maintained
around goods piled upon the ground
to keep away thieves.
The origin Of the fire has not been
definitely determined. Some attribute
it to incendiarism, others say it was
from a detective fue, and still others
declare a gasoline stove exploded and
| started the flames.
There was no loss of life or serious
injuries. The people had to fight the
fire almost exclusively with water
buckets. Fifteen hundred feet of fire
hose had been purchased by the city,
but no water system or general ap-
paratus for its use had been provided.

Estate Not Large Enough.

1t is not believed by the executors
that the estate of w. w. Kendall, the
Kansas City shoe manufacturer who
Iied recently, is of sufficient value to
satisfy the bequest of his will, which
directed that $250,O00 be given to the
Methodist Episcopal church as a
memorial fund. A liberal estimate of
the total value of the estate, it is said,
is 5000, 900. By the terms of the will
the bequest to heirs amounts to $780,
900, and the claims of the heirs take
precedence of the bequest to the
church.
