IMPORTANT TO CATTLEMEN.
Recent Discovery for determination
of Texas Cattle Tick.

Washington, July 24 The South is
again to be congratulated on a piece of
Experiment Station work which is
hardly second in Importance to any
piece of work done in the country,
namely, the recent bulletin on 1.-THE
Texas Fever Cattle Tick" by Prof. II.
A. Morgan, formerly of the Louisiana
Experiment Station at Baton Rouge
and now director of the Tennessee Ex-
pertinent Station at Knoxville This
bulletin has been issued by both of the
experiment stations named and can
doubtless be had by addressing either
Prof. Morgan at Knoxville or Prof. w.
r. Dodson, director of the Experiment
Station at Baton Rouge.
Texas fever has been the bane of the
cattle industry in the South, and has
done more to prevent the development
of beef production and dairying in that
section than all other causes combined.
Prof. Morgan, by a careful and patient
study of the habits and life history of
the tick which conveys this disease
from one animal to another, has been
able to work out an extremely practi-
cable method of ridding herd of these
ticks. The method is exceedingly sim
pie and inexpensive and can be prac-
ticed on practically any farm in the
South. 1t is to be hoped that farmers
throughout the South viii take advan-
tage OF the knowledge Prot. Morgan

HORRIBLE { DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
Woman Dies After Throwing Living
Infant From Train.

Infant From Train
Nashville, Tenn, July "a. An inhu-
man deed and a horrible incident, the
facts in which are almost impossible to
to believe, occurred on the Nashville,
Chattanooga and ST. Louis passenger
train which arrived in Nashville from
Hickman at o'clock this morning. A
handsome young woman, a Mrs. Harri-
son, Of Woodland Mills, Tenn, gave
birth to a male child in the closet Of
the train near Newsom's Station and
threw the child out of the window.
Two hours afterwards the woman died
at the Nashville City Hospital. The
woman was found by another woman in
almost dying condition soon after 8
o'clock. Upon arrival at Nashville she
was so weak that it was with difficulty
she was moved to the hospital. The
child was found in soft mud in ditch
alongside the railroad by track walk
er and was almost dead. 1t lived howss
ever until II o'clock. The woman was
too near dead when she reached Nash
vile and would not say anything.
E. Foster, lineman of the Nashville
and Chattanooga, who was on an in
spection car near the scene where the
body was found, said:
THE child was lying on its face and
side with about half its mouth and all
its nose buried in the mud. Across its
temple was a heavy cut Another sim
liar cut was found on its neck. The
child from all appearances must have
been thrown from window. It was
imprinted in the mud just as if it had
been dropped there by one standing
over it and it could not have rolled
over the embankment. took off my
coat and wrapped it up, for it was al
most as cold as ice, having lain there
for over two hours, and took it to the
residence Of Sam NeW1REn.
Mr.. Newsom called a doctor and the
child was dressed, but we were unable
to get any heat into its body. For a
while it seemed as though it would
live, but it grew weaker and died about
IL o'clock. How it could have lived
five hours cannot see, for it was al
most frozen, besides having the cuts
and the hard fall, for the train was rum
ming at about twenty-five miles per
hour when it passed there.n

ED HUBBARD INDICTED.
Charged With Causing the Death Of
Pleas Burns.

Pocahontas, Ark, July "a. Saturday
night the Randolph county grand jury
returned an Indictment of murder in
the first degree against Ed Hubbard.
charging that Hubbard conspired with
a woman named Willie Roberts to make
away with old man Pleas Burns, a
welI-to-do farmer on Spring River, and
get his property. The woman promised
to live with Burns and take care of him
as long as he lived, provided he willed
her the property at his death. Mr..
Burns lived alone, his wife having 4eft
him year or two ago, and he being
68 years old and feeble, he agreed to do
it, thinking the woman all right.
The win was not put into writing at
once, and Hubbard, an ex-convict from
Van Buren and also an escaped convict
from Missouri, so he says, appeared on
the scene and told Burns the woman
was his half-sister and unless the will
was made be would take her away.
The will was finally made, and about.
four weeks afterward the old man was
drowned early one morning in Spring
river, near his home. He ran ferry,
and the young fellow, having stayed ali
might there, asked Mr.. Burns to put
him across the river, and while doing
this it is alleged that he was pushed
overheard and drowned.
Hubbard later made complete con-
fession of the whole affair.
