dragged the cart almost as far as the
old Triangle store, opposite the burned
Stockyard stables, where it pulled up.
In Iashing out, the horse struck its
foot against the step of the dog-cart
and severed a vein.
The injured animal, with blood
steaming from it's hoof, was taken TO
DR.. A. r. Rowat's place, where 1t re-
ceived surgical attention.
Dr. Fitzgerald, who was in the cart
when the accident occurred, was un-
injured.

Raids Joint That

Holds 08 Gamblers and
Sends for Sheriff
Brown.

s'Sherif Brown or the poi1ce
had absolutely nothing to do with
the investigation OF the Smith
street gambling resort today, url-
til after the committee had made
its visit said Foreman c. J..
Hutchins of the grand jury last
evening.
Sheriff Brown was telephoned
to after the Chinese were corrall-
ed in the gambling rooms and he
came up with Mr.. Prosser and
placed the inmates under arrest.
yesterdays visit to the gam
bling rooms was simply and pure
ly a private investigation of a
committee appointed by the
grand jury.
81 wish to state for myself that
/ am not directed by personal an
imosity against anyone, nor am
I attempting anything against
Sheriff Brown. I consider my
self a friend of Sheriff Brown.
But the grand jury is appointed
to hew to line, and if the chips
fall on some friend here or some
friend there, that can not be
helped.
''Stories have been brought to
the grand jury of large sums of
money being lost in these gam
bling places and that stealing has
resulted, etc. 1t is the duty of
the grand jury to look into such
matters.
"The grand jury got a tip that
this house was running on Smith
street and the committee was ap-
pointed to follow up the matter
and see if it was true. The re-
suit speaks for itself. The grand
jury acted independently and did
not want any assistance from the
police at that time, as it was not
going out to make arrests, but the
committee having found gambling
going on called for the police and
the arrests were made"
A committee of four members of the
grand jury raided a gambling joint in
the block on the corner of Maunakea
and Hotel streets yesterday afternoon,
catching about eighty gamblers hard
at a game, sixty-eight of whom were
ming of the raid and it's execution were
carried out altogether by the grand
jury committee, the services of the po-
lice being called in to make the actual
arrests after the jurymen had gained
access to the joint, rounded up the

CULBERSON GOING
TO TALK IT OVER
TEXAS DOES NOT LOOK WITH FA-
VOR ON THE ABANDONMENT OF
FORT BROWNE AS AN ARMY
POST.

Dallas. Tex, August 22.-Unted States
Senator Charles A. Culberson of Texas
sent the following telegram, to which
up to late hour tonight no reply had
been received;
dallas, Tex, August p.
"Gen. f. c. Ainsworth, Military Secre-
tary, Washington. d. c.;
an the morning papers here the As
sociated Press states that Fort Brown
win be abandoned l will thank you to
wire me If this course has been deter
mined upon. 1t is the duty of the United
States to protect the frontier, and as
Texas borders upon Mexico it has always
been deemed advisable to police the from
tier with regular troops, including sta
ton at Fort Brown. While conditions on
the border have improved very much
within recent years, this course Is still
advisable. and it would be regrettable
that this fort should be abandoned be-
cause the people of a border city like
Brownsville object to negro troops under
circumstances Of raid and murder, such
as recently occurred there.
&C. A. CULBERSON."
Senator Culberson declined to discuss
the matter tonight lie would only say
that although the message had been sent
early in the day no reply had been re-
ceiVed He win leave here tomorrow morn
ing for New York and Washington. He
goes to New York for the purpose of
attending the reception to William j.
Bryan, he being a member of the execu-
tive committee. Although he did not so
state, it is presumed that his visit to
Washington will be TO confer with the
authorities there regarding the Fort

A CARD
To the Democratic Voters of Jefferson

To the Democratic Voters of Jefferson
County:
In closing my campaign for the demo-
cratic nomination for the office of super
visor of public roads, | take this oppor-
tunity of returning my thanks to you for
your generous support, gwen me when
l was originally nominated and of ac-
knowledging with the deepest gratitude,
the assurances given or your continued
approval and help during the present race.
In seeking a second term 1 have the
great weight of democratic prescedence
in my favor, as 1 claim, without ostenta-
ton, that / have faithfully discharged
the duties of my office for one term, and
| feel that under these circumstances
can confidently appeal to my fellow-citi-
zens for reelection
In doing so, l beg leave to call your
attention to the fact that after my cleo
ton In 1902, the legislature of Alabama
changed the law so that the supervisor
was placed entirely under the control and
direction of the Board of Revenue of the
eounty-Seetion g. of acts referred to,
reads as follows: THE said chief super
visor shall be under the direction and
control of the Board of Revenue, and
shall perform such duties in regard to the
public roads and bridges, and incident
thereto as may be directed by said Board
of Revenue" (See act entitled AN act to
provide for the control, working, main
tenance building and Improvement of the
public roads and bridges of Jefferson
county," approved March g. 1909
The people Of Jefferson county recognize
that no more important question presents
itself for their consideration, than that
of building and maintaining good sys-
tenn of public roads, and in order to do
this II will be necessary to have our legis-
lature provide, by suitable legislation, for
the maintenance of those roads that pass
through the numerous cities and towns
in the county. Under the present laws.
the maintenance of these roads within
the several municipalities has been left
entirely to the municipal government,
with the result that some of them
are in wretched condition, thus
destroying the symmetry of our
road system, and bringing condemnation
and criticism unjustly, upon those sup
posed to be chargable with these condi-
tons.
I would urge the voters to give this
matter their consideration. and that can
didates for the legislature be advised OF
your opinions and wishes in the matter.
BY reason of my long experience in
road-building my qualifications for the
office of supervisor are better today than
ever before. and If elected I pledge my
best abilities to the faithful discharge of
its duties.
Again thanking you for whatever assis-
lance you may have given me in the past.
I respectfully ask your support in the
present contest. Yours very truly,
80. ]. ED HAIGLER.
