Oil Company at kerrviIIe.

A company will be organized at
kerrville in the near future for the
purpose of boring for oil in that
neighborhood. Fc number of
years it has been the general opinion
of the people in the vicinity of that
part Of Shelby county that oil in
paying quantities could be found
there, as there are numerous EVIL
dences of its presence both in the
waters Of the creeks near there and
in the water drawn from the wells.
Recently a proposition was made
suggesting the formation of COM
pany for the purpose of investigat-
ing the matter, and the proposition
is beginning to take shape. Several
prominent citizens have subscribed
500 each for development purposes,
and a large number of others have
agreed to subscribe smaller amounts.
All of the citizens Of Kerrville as
well as those in the western end of
the State will await the result of
the matter with great interest.

WHILE HE WAS WORKING.
The Barber RegaIed His Victim with
an Illustrative Instance of
Ignorance.

The barber tucked a towel under a
customers chin and then cleared his
throat relates the Philadelphia Press
"A victim-l mean a customer of mine, F"
he began, told me a story the other day
which illustrates to my mind at least,
that some men really don't know the diff
ference between patent medicine and
Schuylkill water. 1t was this way:
"This customer of mine had a friend
who had a great deal of trouble with his
hair 1t was all the time falling out. He
asked all his friends what he could get
to keep it in Most of them suggested
that he get basket, but finally one of
them told him Of patent medicine.
$50 the man whose hair was bothering
him got a bottle of the medicine and dis
covered that it was dark brown sticky
stuff that he was to rub on his hair five
times a day. He tried il the first day,
and it appeared to do good but the Sec
ond day some one got there first, and
emptying the bottle of medicine, filled it
up with sarsaparllla. And all day long
that poor man rubbed the soft drink on
his hair and never noticed the difference.
But he did notice, though, that there was
an unusually large number of flies swarm
ing about his head. Bay rum

FOUL CRIMEAT BEDFORD, IND.
Miss Sarah Schaefer. a School Teach
er, Assaulted and Murdered.
There Is Much Excitement Over the
Murder and Perpetrator VIII
he Lynched II Caught.

Bedford Ind, Jan. 23.-The body Of
Miss Sarah Schaefer, teacher of Latin
in the Bedford high school, was found
in carriage house Friday She had
been assaulted and robbed, and the
body was badly mutilated The APP
pearances of the shed indicated terri
BILE struggle with her assailant. Miss
Schaefer came here from Elkhart, Ind,
1t has developed that whisp of mus
tache was found in the clutches of
the victim, and upon this clew the
police and a number of private detec-
tives are basing their investigation,
Miss Schaefer's umbrella was found
open in a barn lot near the shed. A
prick. with which the wounds were
inflicted, has also been found, COW
cred with blood.
A negro was said to have been seen
near the alley where the assault was
committed about the time that Miss
Schaefer left her boarding house.
Bloodhounds were given the scent,
but could follow it not more than
fifty yards from the place where the
body was found, A whisky bottle
coming from saloon in the city was
found about fifty feet from the shed.
Evidence that Miss Schaefer, the
murdered girl received two anonymous
letters threatening her with punish
ment If she did not change her board
ing place from the home of DR.. D. D.
Nicholson has been disclosed. Miss
Schaefer subsequently changed her
residence for fear that the threat
might be carried out. Those familiar
with the letters have been charged
to make no statement.
Deputy Prosecutor Stephenson said
Friday night:
IF a man is arrested only on sus-
picion and two people know it he will
be lynched."
A dragnet is to be instituted
throughout the surrounding country,
and all suspicious characters will be
compelled to prove their whereabouts

CIarksviIle Bond Injunction.

In the Court Of Chancery Appeals
last week in the case of the Red Riv-
er Furnace Company VS.. mayor and
aldermen of GAINESVILLE, the action
of the chancellor in dismissing on
demurrer the bill enjoining the city
from issuing 100000 of bonds sub
scribed to the Tennessee Central
railroad was reversed and now goes
back for answer. BY this action the
court holds that the bill filed makes
out case, and if the allegations can
be sustained by proof the complain
ant is entitled to injunction restrain
ing the issue of the bonds.
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1904-01-28

Public feeling, which is momentarily
stirred by a railroad horror, soon cools
down and we all conclude that there is
nothing to be done. that no one is real
ly TO blame. We are solemnly assured
that the railroad men could not have
intended to kill anybody, as though
that made the least difference. The
sufficient fact is that they do each year
kill thousands of people by their negli-
gence, by their disregard of law and
by violation of the rules which they
themselvee have made. The situation
is not likely to improve until there is
some honest effort to fix the RESPONSE
bility and to punish the guilty men.
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1904-01-28
Injunction Dissolved.

Chancellor Hugh g. Kyle last
week dissolved the injunction to pre-
vent the County Court of Campbell
county from contracting for the cree
ton of court house and other pub
lie buildings at Lafollette and the
fight between Jacksboro and Lafol-
lette is now believed to be at an end.
Two elections have beer, held at
which the people of Campbell voted
in favor Of removing the county seat
from Jacksboro to Lafollette. Legal
means have been taken each time 10
block the change. The chancellor's
decision last week ends the matter
unless an unusually heavy bond is
given on an appeal of the case to the
Supreme Court.

an engagement between the two has
existed for about five years and that
he has been assiduous in his atten-

marriage to another, alleged to have
occurred over year ago secretly,
was announced. After the date Of
this marriage, it is said Hughes con-
tinued his attentions. He is a rail
road man in the passenger service of

PANAMA MINISTER TO RETURN
The state Department Gives out the
Fact That the American Minister
at Colon is Coming Home.

Washington, Jan. DENOMINATION
Is had at the state department of the
report that Mr. Buchanan, American
minister to Panama, is about to return
to the United States, starting in a
few days from Colon. Important pri-
yate business is assigned as reason
for the minister's return. The de-
partment is not informed that his
visit is anything more Inan a leave
Of absence, but it knows that Buchan-
an consented to assume the Panama
mission only upon an understanding
that his appointment must be TEN
porary, and as affairs on the isthmus
are regarded as being in excellent
shape from an administrative stand"
point, it is possible he will consider
that he has carried out his full under
taking when he returns to Washington.
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1904-01-28

In Texas, where strong public senti-
ment antagonistic 10 railroads has
.p..,rg grown up. and is
backed by stringent
swimmers legislative enact
ments and strict Interpretation by
the courts, peculiar form of
fraud has been brought to light,
1t is found that there is gang of pro-
fessional victims" operating on the va
rious railroads, going from one to an
other, meeting with accidents, and SUI
ing for damages They travel in groups,
so that there is never any trouble about
getting the right sort of witnesses TO
the matter of accident, or the extent of
the injuries. Texas juries are known
to be friendly to the sutton against rail-
roads, and so far the gang has had little
trouble in securing verdicts for substan-
tlal sums. By the operations of this
coterie of sharpers, damages on account
of personal injuries received in that
state have increased, it is asserted by
railroad officials, from 1926, 900 in
1893, to 100000 in 1903-an increase
out of all proportion to the growth of
population and the extension of rail-
road activity This method of maxi
ing living must be, to say the least,
risky, though it may be that the ex-
element of it atones for the hospital
experiences. To be able to judge to a
nice tenth of an inch just how far to put
ones foot under a car wheel and to
pick out a spot at the trackside hard
enough to bruise, but not hard enough
to SKATER, on which to be pitched, as one
passes from one car to another, must re-
quire fine nerve. One is apt to think
that money earned in this way is well
earned; and certainly the knowledge
that loose-jonted crowd of swindlers
is abroad, ready to be piled in heap
at the first unusual lurch of the train,
must have salutary restraining effect
on engineers. In Boston the fear of the
professional victim is sometimes said
TO be the reason for the unexpected
courtesies of street car conductors who
wait until their alighting passengers are
quite clear of the car before starting on.
So, the i'll wind that blows damages out
OF the treasury of the railway companies
may fan them a realization that they
owe certain courtesies to the public be-
yond the mere hauling from place TO
place.
