CONSTABLE LOFTS
KILLS A NEGRO.
Shooting Occurred About Mid
night But Facts Not Known
Until Morning.

About Il o'clock Friday night
Constable Abe Lofts went to a
house on Seventh avenue north,
near the Southern Railway, to
arrest a negro who went by the
name of Ollie Moore, alias Beck
Jennings, alias Kid Beck, for
whom he had a warrant charg-
ing him with obtaining money
under false pretenses. AS Mr..
Lofts entered the roo M the
negro made a dive for a heavy
hammer lying near by on the
floor, failing to get this he ran to
another part of the room to get
some other instrument of war,
Mr.. Laftis presumed, and conse-
quently the officer fired. The
negro then ran out the door and
disappeared, Mr.. Lofts continu-
ing to shoot in the direction he
went. Supposing that the negro
had made good his escape, Mr..
Lofts notified the policemen,
giving them a description of him
and asked them to watch for him
at the depots.
Saturday morning the body Of
/ q daod paoro was found a short
distance from where the shooting
occurred, anl Mr.. Lofts readily
identified hun as the one he was
after.
The war ant against the negro
was sworn cut by Mr.. Ward and
! it is understood that other charges
would have been made Saturday.
1t is also ,fstoed that the me-
gro was waue- in Eutaw, Ala.

Every year sees thousands OF pale and
emaciated people leaving their homes

sumption. which can invariably be

would neglect a cold could he foresee
such Termination. To so to a warm

"The cattlemen of Texas who

says Col. Taylor. He has no other
place to go. He has learned that he

VIII Find ideal Conditions.
In Mexico the cattle raisers will
find ideal conditions. They will find
splendid grazing lands selling from %
to so cents, Mexican. per acre and
they will be able to buy tracts large
enough for immense herds. They
will find that these lands produce as
fine grass as grows anywhere. They
will find water In abundance. The
taxes are low. help is cheap and sur.
roundings are ideal for the successful
raising Of cattle.
Even with the duty ranging from
$1,75 to 1915 a head on Mexican cat-
tie sent into this country cattle can
be raised with a greater profit In Mex.
leo than in the United States. The
