EASTHAM'S FUNERAL
INTERMENT AT MAGNOLIA GEM
ETERY YESTERDAY.
WAS A LARGE PROCESSION
With the Masonic Service at the
orave-Rev. J. A. Smart Held
Service at the Home.

The remains of Hon, J. II, Eastman
were Inferred yesterday afternoon at
Magnolia cemetery, In the presence OF
of the largest gatherings ever seen
there. III
AT $3.50 the Masonic lodge In body
left the hall in the Gilbert building
and marched 10 the residence OF the
deceased brother. The burial service
of the lodge that Is usually given ut
the home OF the departed brother was
In this instance given nj the lodge
room, as Rev. j. A. Smart had been
requested TO hold the services at the
home, and the usual ceremony OF inc
BAPTIST church was followed there.
A few minutes after 4 o'clock the
funeral procession started for the
cemetery, and at the grave the Ma
sons went through their beautiful rit'
.ual, as customary at such times. The
hymns were sung by members OF the
lodge, the evergreen was deposited IN
the grave, and the white apron went
into the coffin. Rev. V. A. Cooley act
ed as chaplain for the lodge, and gave
the prayer and also the benediction at
the close of the service.
The flower of Beaumonts citlzen-
ship grieved with the family, both at
the home and at the grave, and
friends who were unable to attend
sent beautiful floral offerings that
we're placed upon the mound when the
grave was closed.
The scene became most pathetic as
the loving sons gathered around and
witnessed the last sad rites over
father who had shielded them in boy.
hood, had protected them in their
youth. had advised them in manhood,
and whom they had in turn loved an"
respected in his declining years. The
younger men are hale, hearty spec'-
mems of manhood, full of life and
vigor, and yet the father to whom
they owed their lives and their honor-
able carers was cold in death.
A generous and noble pioneer citi-
zen of Beaumont has passed away,
but memory holds dear and tender
regard for him in the heart of every
one who knew him.

HER CRIPPLED TOE.
II She Can Establish Its Identity She
Wins Fortune.

| wins Fortune.
A case possessing unique features
came to trial in the district court at
Houston last week. in which the jury
disagreed on the identity of an old
woman's toe, on the genuineness OF
which depended the title to property
now producing an income OF $1,000 4
month. The story which the li:iga-
ton uncovered is worthy of being q
plot in fiction.
Twenty years ago a woman nameI
Mary Kingston. then about forty years
of age took up her residence in Har-
ris county. She had a child, a gil ;
or years old, the mother being n
widow. For some years previous Z"
her moving to Harris county Mrs.
Kingston had lived on a tract of land
which she owned at Batsou Prairie.
The land was then regarded as prsc'
tically worthless. Soon after she
went to Harris county she disap
peared, abandoning her child, who
was taken in charge by sister OF the
missing woman, Mrs. Buckles. who
lived at BatSon on a property adjoin-
ing that belonging to Mrs. Kingston.
A year or so afterward the woman's
relative received word that she was
dead in the western part of the state.
The daughter continued to live with
her aunt, Mrs. Buckles and grew up in
her care,
After the oil boom struck BatsOn
Prairie, and with the incoming OF
gushers. land values scared skyward
making the little tract of property left
by the woman very valuable. The
daughter now grown t. young woman
hood. was recognized as the indisput.
able owner of it. At one time it was
worth half million, hut it was not
disposed of. Then came a shrinkage
and the property descended to about
$500 per acre. On January last,
part of the tract was sold by Miss
Kingston to w. r. Blain for $4,000
The deeds were properly passed. an
no questions as to the young lady be-
ing the owner was raised.
Then suddenly appeared an Oh
woman. white-haired and decrepid
She said that her name was Mary
Kingston: that she was the same
woman who abandoned her daughter
twenty years ago: that she had liver
sccludedly in the meantime in Fort
Bend county permitting the impress

that She had lately decided to como

Captain Charles Witherup, who Is
constructing the big canal for the
United Oil and Refining company, Is
In the city today, and says that he
expects to have the work completed
and ready for navigation by the first
of the coming year.
They have dredged at present $500
feet, little over half a mile. The
work of dredging the canal has been
a much harder proposition that Cap
tain Witherup expected when the
work was begun. 1t lies principally
through the river marsh, and from all
surface indications there was nothing
to do but dredge out the mud. Very
title earth was removed before they
encountered blue clay. and the dig
cling has been extremely diflicult
While 1t will take longer to build
the canal through clay, it will be
much better piece of work when it Is

badly crippled. 1t was not the large
toe, but the one next to it. 1t did not
have the appearance of having been

evidence of nail being small growth

The mystery is thus far from
