comrades in Lancaster county of
Mr.. E. M. l.. Williams, who
moved from here to Texas about
twenty years ago, will be panied
and shocked to hear of his tragic
death, which occurred few
days ago in the state of his ad =
option, he being the victim of a
cowardly assassin's bullet.
Mr.. Williams was a son Of the
late Stephen Williams, and a
brother of the late Eli Williams
and the late James Williams,
and was about 63 years old. He
was a gallant Confederate sold
ier, serving in that famous regi-
ment of fighters, the 18th South
Carolina. He was twice wound
ed in battle, and was once cap.
tured by the enemy and confin
ed for a while in northern
prison. After the war Mr.. Will
liams was married to Miss Bette
Riddle, sister of Maj. Riddle, of
Lancaster, and Mr.. I. S. Riddle,
of Dixie, who died before Mr..
Williams's removal to Texas.
Three children by the the MARI
age are left surviving, Mrs.
Henry Culp and Mrs. Alice Bal,
lard, of this county, and Mr..
Charles Williams, Of Texas. Mr..
Williams also leaves a sister in
this county, Mrs. +. M. Stog gner.
We have received the follow
ing clipping from Texas paper
giving the particulars of Mr..
Williams's foul murder:
A telegram was received here
last night by Chas. Williams
announcing that his father, E.
M. L. Williams, had been killed
near there yesterday and re
quested that he come there as
soon as possible.
This morning a telegram was
sent to Harlingen askln: FIR fur
ther particulars when i. was
learned that Mr.. Williams
yesterday morning early went
out In search Of his COWS, and
not returning home, some sus.
picion was aroused and a partv
went out in search of him about
II O'Clock. About noon the
lifeless body of Williams was
found in the chaparral bv the
side of the road with a bullet
hole in it. He had evidently
been dead some hours.
About this time 1t was learned
that Luis Medina, a sheep herd.
er, on the Dix ranch, had sud
denly disappeared that morning,
taking with him a good horse,
saddle and winchester and had
gone in the direction where
Williams's body was later found.
A diligent search for the
Mexican was at once instituted,
but at last accounts at noon he
was still at large with a com.

The Legislature.
The House Kills Biennial
Sessions Resolution---No
Dlspensary Legislation L
Probable.

OOur6r:
The House today fell down on
the biennial session resolutions,
which it ordered a special COM
mission of its members to pre-
pare. A year ago the members
came here with a vote of the
people of theIState in favor OF
biennial sessions. The people
of the state had expressed them
selves in favor of biennial ses-
sions. Constitutional LAWYERS
said that the proposed resolu-
tlons were not sufficient and
that other resolutions amending
the constitution relative to tax
alton and other matters were
necessary. Then a commission
was appointed to prepare every
thing that was needed. Even
then the House was not asked
to pass the biennial session
amendment TO the constitution
as the people had asked for, but
the resolutions proposed vote
on the subject next November
There was no idea that the reso.
lutions submitting the issue to
the voters next winter would be
killed, but they were killed to
day for the lack of five votes.
Seventy eight members voted
tor the resolution, but under the
constitution elghty-three votes
are needed-a two-thirds vote
and the resolutions failed and
nothing whatever has been or
or can now be done. The Sem
ate adopted the resolutions with.
out discussion and by practical
ly unanimous vote.
The House and the Senate are
getting wider and wider apart on
the dlspensary legislation. To,
day the House passed the Ruck
er bill, which simply abolishes
the State dispensary and then
provides for county dispensaries
in counties where the dispensary
is now in operation. Under the
Rucker bill, which was adopted
in the House, there is no option
except between county dispensa
ries and prohibition. The dis.
pensary advocates fought the bill
as hard as they could, but the
House is "agin" the State dis.
pensary and says so on every
opportunity, and has now given
the Senate another bill in lieu of
the Morgan bill, which it has
killed.
The House seems determined
to give the Senate ample to do
and members are freely saying
that the Raysor-Manning Till
man bill is really worse than the
present statute and that no good,
except delay, can come of it.
The House agreed to increase
the salaries Of solicitors and after
April l all solicitors salaries are
to be fixed at 81 700.
