or the same spot this year as last,
and just a few sttps awSy the same
spring is gushing forth cool refresh
ing water from the banks of the
Concho river, where stately pecan
and oak trees line either side OF the
stream; hence ample shade is FUR
nlshed in which to -hile away the
time
The first day here was spent IN
making our camp ready for a three
weeks sojourn, and in which to re-
ceive guests should any happen TO
pay us a visit. To date we have re-
ceived two callers, our friends, Mr..
and Mrs. st. John. who live just
short distance way on the opposite
side of the stream.
NotwithStanding the fact that no
rain of any consequence has fallen
! in this section FOR six or eight
months, the Concho river, which
springs with sparkling water, full
grown from a mountains side just
eight miles above us, has not dimin-
ished in size. The waters of this
stream abound with fish, such as
bass, trout, perch, and channel cat
when we make a catch sufficien
for meal for seven we stop fishin'
at once, for it is useless to catcl
more than we can eat.
AT this writing Miss Mossie Nor
ris wears the blue ribbon for hav
ing landed the largest fish.
To give you an inkling how ones
appetite increases in this climate,
will confidentially say that Ed Hud-
son ate seven biscuit and other
things in proportion for breakfast
this morning.
Homer Atkinson and Lem Curtin
worked two days on lawn tennis
Icourt and it should only be seen TO
be admired. Exciting games are
played daily before breakfast and
latter six O'Clock dinner. If they are
not professionals at the expiration
of our stay here it will not be due
to the lack of practice.

THAT fishing is one OF the simplest

Brows and Hair Burned of = Was
Between 80 and 100 Years Old.

| Mrs. Honora Mcknight, nonogen-
erian and recluse, we'll known in the
south part Of the city as the oldest
| of characters. suffered a horrible fate
| some time today by being burned to
| death, while alone in her home, 500
South First street. She was found by
I Mrs. H. j. Nichols, of 500 South First
| street, q neighbor at 1:S0 this after
noon. and had then been dead some
| time.
| Mrs. Mcknight was between 80 and
| 100 years of age, and lived alone in a
miserable little home. So peculiar was
she that she refused to provide the
| comforts Of home from her own
means, and still refused to be cared
for by relatives. The last time seen
alive was o'clock this morning, when
her daughter in-law, Mrs. Daniel Nc
Knight, 303-South Center. left her home
after getting The old lady out of bed,
preparing her breakfast and making
her comfortable for the day.

but her clothing was charred and
smoked, her eyebrows and, hair had
been burned away and her face smoked
by the flames Death had evidently
been caused by suffocation by the
flames and smoke, rather than by ac-
tual fire. as the body was not badly
disfigured
Probably Started Fire Herself.
The indications point to Mrs. Nc
Knight having started the blaze by polk
ing the fire. Both lids of the stove
were off and poker laY beside the
dead body in the chair. Either the Goals
or the overheated poker caused the
woman's dress to become ignited, and
from the burning clothes suffocation
resulted
Had Tried to Use Water.
Indications also show that, the wom-
an had attempted to quench the flames
with water, an empty can having been
found near the body, that had been
used in dipping water from a pail
nearby.
Others Narrow Escapes.
Other narrow escapes from burning
to death have only recently occurred
at the Mcknight home, and only Friday
John Mcnamara saw smoke emerging
from the kitchen window, and upon
entering the house found the wood box
on fire, and Mrs Mcknight sitting be-
side it. Once before the woman's
dress caught fire from her being too
close to the stove.
Nothing is known. yet regarding an
inquest, as Coroner Nichols is out of
town today.
