GOES TO CLAIM ESTATE
Aft. E. BounsaH Leaves for England to
Claim Estate Left by Grand Ian other

Alfred E. Bounsal1 left Kenosha
yesterday for Lancaster, England,
where he will appear as claimant Of a
large estate left by his grandmother.
Mr.. Bounsall will represent the in
terests of his mother, Mrs. w. C.
Bounsall who is said to be the sole
heir 70 the estate. Letters received
from England the early part of the
week announced the death of Mrs.
Miller, the mother of Mrs. Bounsall,
and stated that she had left quite
large estate to which Mrs. Bounsa11
is the heir. No statement as to the
amount of the estate has been given
out, bnt it is probable that some
statement can be secured after Mr..
Bounsall reaches England and makes
good the claim Of his mother as heir.

Sensation Sprung by Judge John NJ.
Duncan, in Speech at Tyier-GoId
Brick Scheme.

A press dispatch from Tyler has
the following, which IS interesting
at this time when the secrets of all
political hearts are being exposed
to the gaze of an inquiring public
The dispatch says:
Judge John NJ. Duncan sprung a
big sensation in a speech at the
courthouse here last night.
Judge Duncan stated that upon
information furnished him, the
truth of which he vouched for,
that when Judge T. S. Miller, gen
eral attorney for the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas, asked the rail-
road commission to approve an is
sue of $4,000, 900 bonds on the
road, 81, 1000, 900 of which was up
on an old dead branch line, Com
missioner Mayfeld referred the
matter to Auditor H. G. Askew,
who went over the papers and
wrote his opinion thereof, stating
that there never was as big gold
brick scheme proposed since he had
been on the commission.
Meeting Judge Miller on the
street, Mr.. Askew said: Judge,
there never was as big a gold brick
scheme proposed since have been
on the commission. It is worthy of
Addicks.
When Askew explained to Judge
Miller what he meant by referring
to the Pennsylvania man, Judge
Miller fred up and said: But the
majority of the commission will
vouch for it.
Mr.. Asked replied: AND II they
do it I will resign my position as
auditor.
Judge Duncan concluded: Mr..
Colquitt heard of Askew's threat
and framed a request for Askew's
resignation, but the other commits
sioners refused to sign. Askew
learned of Colquitt attitude and re-
signed. This is one Of the great
irreparable injuries Colquitt' 5 stay
ing on the commission and running
for governor has done. These are
the facts and I have the proof.

and electric lights in the near pros
pective for the good people of
Brownsville. The low assessed
value of city property has been act
ually prohibitive of the construc-
ton of a waterworks aud light
plant by the city, as the law only
allows the issue OF bonds to the
value of a certain percentage OF
assessed values, and also stipulates
exactly what proportion Of the in
come from such bonds must be put
into a sinking fund for the liquida-
ton of the debt. This, according
to the assessed values of property
in Brownsville therefore,, has made
it out of the question for the city
to issue bonds sufficient to build
these public utilities. Now, how
ever, with the increased revenue IN
sight and the continued growth of
taxable values to be depended up
on, as a result of the constant i'm
provement going on here, pros
poets look much more promising
than before, and it may be depend
ed upon that tue city fathers will
soon be III a position to consider
this matter which is of such vital
importance to the further progress
of our beautiful little city.

Who Wants Half.

Postmaster J. J. Stevens received
yesterday letter from A. R. De-
Lay of Dublin, asking for a book
containing keys to Mexican
ciphergrams pertaining to buried
treasures.
Mr.. Delay asserts that he has
discovered a map that leads the
way to place where $4,000 i'll
gold bullions is buried. He has
found all necessary landmarks
with the exception of a rock bear
ing a cross. He believes that with
the assistance of the book he
speaks of he can find the rock.
He will also divide with the party
who helps him.
Enclosed in the letter was a
copy of the map which Mr. Delay
contends holds the secret to much
wealth. The plat is rather un-
decipherable to one unaccustomed
to solving riddles of that nature.
The letter and map will be turned
over to the business Mems Club.

ROGERS MUST ANSWER.
Hadley Secured Decision in Missouri
Supreme Court.

The SUPREME court of Missouri at Jener-
son City yesterday held that witnesses were
compelled to answer questions In the stand
ard Oil hearing in st. Louis. The same
point was involved when H. II. Rogers de-
clined to answer questions at the hearing
In New York. The st. Louis hearing was
discontinued a week ago until the supreme
courts decision on the point involved should
be handed down.
A dispatch from New York says; Ihe
Missouri state Inquiry into the Standard
Oil Company went on last night for rev
minutes and then was adjourned over until
today Henry Wollman, New York counsei
for the state of Missouri, announced that
he had received telegram from Attorney
General Hadley of that state SAYING the
supreme court of Missouri had decided IN
favor of the attorney general regarding the
refusal of Adams, witness in the state OF
Missouri to answer certain questions. Inc
questions which the witness Adams refused
to answer were along the same line as
those which Henry H. Rogers, who ap
peared as a witness in the same proceedings
before Commissioner Sanborn In TINS CITY
refused to answer.
Justice Gildersleeve has suspended an en-
try of an order in the Rogers case, await
ing the decision of the supreme court VI
Missouri with reference to the witness
Adams Application will be made lInmedi-
ately by Mr.. Wollman to Justice Glluer-
sleeve to sign the order requiring Mr. Rog-
ers to answer the questions without lurthei
delay.
