DRAWS JAIL SENTENCE
v. B. Nlkeq toaviCied on thdrse Of
vios1iiae local Opiioa Law

Two convictions on charges of yio-
lafing the local option law was the
record made by County Attorney
Smith in the county court yesterday.
This is an exceedingly good record,
In fact, 1t is the first time since the
local option law went into effect in
the county that Two convictions have
been secured In succession and also
on the same day. County Attorney
Smith made hard fight in each case
to secure a conviction, and in spite
OF the efforts of the defense 10 break
down the states testimony he came
ont victorious.
After the conviction of Sam Har-
din, as was recorded in these columns
yesterday, w b. Dickey was arraign-
ed for trial on an indictment return
ed by the last grand jury charging
him with violating the local option
law. The case went To the jury last
night and required only about fifteen
minutes to agree upon a verdict of
guilty The defendant was fined $50
and given twenty days in the county
Jail.
Dickey is the proprietor OF a place
near the Katy depot whore he sells
lunches and dispenses cold drinks.
The Indictment against him alleges
that he made a sale of whiskey on
or about the fifth Of last April. The
leading prosecuting witness testified
in positive terms that he bought the
booze. The defendant went on the
stand in his own behalf. On direct
examination he denied making the
sale. When the state began a cross
examination of the defendant he tried
, to evade all questions relating to any
| shipments of whiskey received by
him. He was asked if he did not re-
ceive barrels and boxes of whiskey
| on certain dates He did not re-
member the dates, but finally admit
| ted that he had received whiskey at
! different dates between January /
and April ).
When the defendant left the stand
the state introduced l.. H. Paddock

duced the original way bills, shown.

FINDING Of SKELETON
The Gruesone in the Cemeiery at Nil
Tort Remsias q Mystery

The finding OF the human skele-
ton in the Milford cemetery several
days ago is still shrouded in myS-
tery and while a thorough investi-
cation has been made and an inquest
held. no known cause has been as
signed and nothing definite has been
reached as TO how and why q human
skeleton should by lying bare upon
the ground within few yards of the
public road.
\ careful and thorough eXamina-
fact that a large bone in one of the
legs was broken and also a bone in
one OF the arms. The most plausible
theory and one in which nearly every
body concurs, is that some person
evidently acquainted with the sur
roundings. dug up the body with the
hope of finding jewelry or other
valuables thereon.
The graveyard is one of the Oldest
and probably most historic in that
section with the exception of the
Hughes burial ground three miles
east of Italy, where the body of Gen
eral Edward Tarrant, after whom
Tarrant county was named, lies buri-
ed. The citizens of Milford and
community have, until recently al
lowed the burial grounds to grow up
in weeds and heavy underground and
the form of the skeleton, which was
all intact was not found until the
sexton, T. c. Stephens, began clear
ing this underground away. The
matter was at once reported and
the justice of the peace together with
citizens of the community have been
conducting an investigation ever
since
The general theory is that the
skeleton had been lying undisturbed
for several months, as no marks of
a newly made grave We're to be found
near by. The theory has also been
advanced that some stranger crawled
into the thicket and underground and
died, but this is hardly probable, as
in decaying the body would have, nc
doubt attracted attention.
The examination of the skull, b.
physicians, revealed the fact that NJ
part of it had been broken and tn
conclusion is reached that the skele
ton is that of a white man, who wa
about six feet tall. The finding o
the buttons, which resembled thos
on coarse ducking overalls, is con
elusive evidence that the man wa
buried in or murdered while wearlns
work clothes. The problem is per
picking and has puzzled the minds o
practically every citizen of Milford
While many theories have been ad
vanced and great interest has beel
manifested over the startling dis
covery. no one has vet been foun'
who can unravel the mystery and
is more than probable that 1t VII
ever remain so

ENDS
LABORER'S
LIZ b

BY Associated L less.
STOCKTON, Sept. 2S.-Shortly be-
fore o'clock this afternoon a laborer
walked into jackson & Earle's hard
ware store on Main street, purchased
cheap pistol and box of cartridges
for $3.50, loaded the chambers and
stepping to the sidewalk, fired a bullet
into his brain.
He fell with his body toward the
street and his head from which oozed
brain matter, rested in the gutter. He
breathed until he reached the emerg-
ency hospital, but died few minutes
later.
When the suicide entered the store
he asked to be shown a pistol and
when $14 revolver was exhibited he
said he could not afford such an ex-
pensive one.
He said he was going hunting in the
country and wanted a pistol to carry
with him. He asked the price of cart
ridges by the load or for a box and
when the cost of a box was given at
sixty cents he decided to take the box
full, though he purposed to use only
one, as his quick following act showed.
When he left the store he placed the
loaded pistol in his coat pocket and
reached for it as he stepped on the side
walk.
Many persons were on the street at
that hour and the suicide created much
excitement for time.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-James X.
GARFIELD, commissioner of the bureau OF
corporations of the bureau Of commerce
and labor, Washington, in an address al
the opening of the exercises OF the
school of commerce, accounts ana
finance of the University of New YORK
last night said:
1.-The problems of business are no
longer single. They are no longer the
problems of the individual. They are
the problems of the corporations. A
corporation has great power-greater
than that of the individual and hence
of greater responsibility. 1t is crea-
ture of the state and should be con-
trolled by the state. The Individual Is
lost in the corporation. This loss OF
personal responsibility has resulted IN
the loss of conscience. Corporations 90
what individuals cannot
despite this the corporation is a
great agency for good. But it is worse
than useless to inveigh against cor
porations. The man who seeks to over
throw mus. have something to oner
as a substitute. To destroy all cor
porations would be bad, 1t is for edu-
cate men to find out what is evil In
the corporations of today and to de-
stroy it and to make the corporations
