southeastern Texas has now continu-

latter part of March, 1906, and the
little rain that has fallen in the
droughty area during the past two
months has given no appreciable re-
lief from the dryness. The coast

BOY BURNED TO DEATH
Sea OF hr. and Hrs. J. ]. Mitchell Per
isAeS in Flames.

The residence of Mr.. and Mrs W
j Mitchell. ten miles northeast OF
Hillsboro. was destroyed by fire
Thursday night and their 10-year-old
son was burned to death. The body
was not recovered until yesterday
morning when the grewsome dis
covery was made that only the trunk
was left, the limbs and head being
almost entirely burned Off.
Mr.. and Mrs Mitchell had been
in Hillsboro Thursday evening and
had left their five children, three
daughters and two sons, at home.
At 10 o'clock, when they were with
in mile of their home, they saw the
flames and drove rapidly to the
place, but could do nothing that
might have saved the property or
the life of their little son.
Tom Mitchell, the elder son, saved
his life by jumping from window
was badly injured by the fire. His
face was burned considerably and it
is feared that ne may lose his eye
sight as a result of the burns The
eyelids were almost cooked and can
not be moved
1t is believed that the little boy
who lost his life was suffocated. He
had retired some time previous to
the fire and was evidently sleeping
so soundly that the flames and noise
failed to awaken him. The house
was not entirely destroyed, neighbors
from the surrounding country sue
ceeded in extinguishing the flames
after considerable work. How the
fire originated is not known.

SKATING RINK CLOSES.
Main Street Rink Closes With a
splendid Program.

Before fairly good sized audi.
the season was done at the Main
Street rink
a splendid program had been pre-
pared and at nine O'Clock all made
ready for the grand march. which
was the first thing on the program.
With each holding a Japanese lantern
about twenty couples took part In
this, which proved to be the pret-
test feature of the whole program,
The first race was between five
Rowe was the winner by about one
half lap
The second was a race for time
by Willie Hughes and Neil Connally
against Neil Sims and Earl Gibson
Hughes and Connally made the one
half mile in one minute and fifty
five seconds. Sims and Gibson were
a little too eager to win and began
plunging about in the third round
and in the fourth Gibson lost one of
ms FhaNNo- ms Scoh itpihNSb
and the race started again, but in
the end of the second lap Gibson
had the misfortune to lose another
skate, and the race was lost with 1t.
Next came the contest for graceful
skating, all being turned on the
floor, with but few knowing that a
prize was to be offered In ten
minutes the whistle blew and the
honor for the most graceful skater
was awarded to Mrs. w. B. Ferguson,
which was a season ticket for next
season. The gentleman's honors
were given to Leslie (Sandy) Philips,
who was decided by the judges. to
be the most graceful man on the
floor
The next and last part of the pro-
gram was for the championship Of
the season for fast man.
Neil Connally was the first one
to try and he made one-half mile in
one minute and fifty-three seconds.
Willie Hughes was the next to enter
and his time was one minute and
forty-seven seconds.
The champion skater for fast skat-
| ing was easily decided upon as Willie
| Hughes, and he is certainly a 'fas
man, too
