EIGHT Factories In State.

At present there are salt factories
at Palestine, Grand Saline and Colo
RADIO, Tex, eight together in the State
The two at Colorado produce salt
with no other agencies than the sun,
and the dry wind of the West Texas
plains, which rapidly turn the briny
liquid pumped from the deep wells
into snowy crystals, ready for use of
the stockman or farmer.
The salt in Mitchell county was dis
covered about sixteen years ago.
Workmen drilling for an artesian well
to supply the city of Colorado encoun-
tered a stream of water so briny that
it was wholly unfit for use. A test by
simple evaporation was made, and the
quantity of pure salt secured surprised
the well diggers and the community
as well.
Soon afterwards salt factory was
established two miles southwest of
Colorado, and a year or two later one
was established two miles east of
town They have been running ever
since. At present they are SO busy
that the days work is twenty-four
hours long and there are seven days
in the week

clear and pure as ordinary well water.
Colorlcss in the beginning, when az
lowed to settle. it gradually changes
color until the second day after being
exposed to the air it has a greenish
hue
Then it improves in appearance
slowly, ana the fourth day is clear
again, with only a slight azure hue.
In order that no time may be lost
while the brine is settling and chang
ing color, four watts are used, the brine
from the oldest-flled tank being used
each day to supply the evaporating
watts.
There are two processes of eyapora-
ton the solar, in which Mitchell coun-
ty leads the State, and the other by
steam.
The solar process, which is moth
ing more than exposing the brine to
the wind and sun, is the simplest
method of salt making One of the
salt factories near Colorado has evap-
Grating watts with a total exposed sur
face of 235,O00 square feet The watts
are about six inches deep, made Of
boards, and elevated from the ground
three or four feet to make it conYen-
lent to load from them to the wagons

Exact Facts Not Necessary.

Is it possible that on such an occa-
kon the newspaper is to be held to the
EXact facts-to the most minute de-
Iails of the transaction? We think
hot. All that the law requires is that
1 Q publication shall be substantially
he. Appellant himself shows that
was almost literally true, certain
i true in it's essential parts. 1t was
is misfortune that he was called to
sbanon to testify as a witness at the
Kerry time this grave charge was
brought against him by the grand jury
/ his home; but it is none the less
true that he had left the county, and
while it is true that some of his
friends were liable to locate him." it
is also literally true that some of
them were ignorant of his where
nbouts. This is a fair construction
Df his own pleading, and as his own
statement shows the substantial
truth of the publication, he cannot
complain of it.
Ordinarily the truth of an alleged
libel must be pleaded as a defense;
but that rule can only apply when
there is a necessity for such a plea.
IF the petition shows that to be true,
which would be a good defense on
plea, the latter becomes unnecessary,
and a demurrer exposes the informity
Df the petition. No one can be heard
to complain in a civil action that the
truth was published of him.
This statement of the law contains
ho reflection upon the appellant and
Eliminates no opinion of ours as to the
merits of the criminal proceeding
bending against him; the law pre-
Eumes he is innocent until his guilt
j. proved in a proper forum, and that
presumption we freely concede to
llim, but we are not disposed to
Stretch the law in order to restrain

Supply Shows No Diminution.

Salt is going from Colorado all over
the State and the Southwest. There
have as yet been no indications that
the supply is likely to become dimin-
ished, and one of the factories is still
pumping from one of the original
wells.
The salt comes from a vein of solid
choloride of sodium, estimated to be
1875 feet in thickness.
The vein of rock salt from which
the supply is secured lies from 800 to
900 feet below the surface. Artesian
water, percolating through the rocks,
has reached the rock salt and becomes
impregnated until it has turned to
brine.
The result is a salty sea several
hundred feet below the surface of
Mitchell county, and into this sea the
salt-makers have run their pump pipes
to secure their supply. The briny ar
tesian water has force enough to rise
within about 100 feet of the surface of
the ground. 1t is pumped the rest of
the way.
At the factory east of town a five
inch pipe is run into the briny sea
and furnishes enough material for the
factory.

a Hobo sho, =, cobr..

Monday night three hobos broke into
a box car at Cobre aud stole a lot Of
eggs, a largo cheese and other provisions.
They took the plumber to the Greek
camp and tried 10 cell il. The Creeks
did o want the stuff and refused 70
buy it. After parleyinR, the hobos drew
their guns and told the Greeks that they
must buy it aud named the price. The
Greeks then dug up the money and
gave it to the men aud they left. After
leaving the camp, the men went to the
saloon and played pool. While this wa
going on, the Greeks goG busy and dug
up their guns and started out about
midnight to find the men. They went
to the saloon and told their troubles TO
Frank Mcbride, the bartender. They
threatened to kill the hobos, it their
money was not returned. Mr.. Mcbride,
failing to dissuade them from their
avowed purpose. left .he saloon and
went to the hobos' camp to talk the
matter over with them and 10 persuade
them to settle the matter with the
Greeks. He found the three men stand
ing in a line and began talking to them.
They advanced toward him and, when
within n few feet OF him, one OF then
pulled Il pistol and fired at him. The
bullet went under the skin OF his collar
bone aud his face was badly burned by
the powder. Not liking this kind OF Ia
reception, Mcbride pulled HE pistol aud
fired at the man who had shot at him.
HIS aim ~as good and the bullet struck
the man in the right side and brought
him to the ground. The fellow called
to Mcbride not to shoot again Us he
was badly hurt. Mcbride then left
him and went in pursuit of one OF the
men who had run away when the shoot
ing began. Failing to catch him, he
returned to where the wounded man lay.
As he approached him, the fellow rose
up and fired at him. Mcbride returned
the lire md his bullet broke the hobo's
right leg. This knocked the fight out
of him and he was a good dog.
