Held for Murder.

On Tuesday of last week Deputy Sher-
Bowie, this county, arrested Gus Dorsey
and Jim Banks, both colored, for the
murder of Howard Heaste, colored, on
the night of April 8 last. Heaste was
found dead, just south of Bowie, on
April by employees of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. He Was lying with
his head IN small stream at culvert
under the Popes Creek Branch tracks,
and coroner's jury decided that Heaste
came to his death at the hands of parties
unknown.
The Deputy Sheriff and Constable
Nicholson have been working quietly on
the case, and made an arrest early in the
week following the death of Heaste, but
the suspect was released Immediately, as
nothing could be proven against him.
On Monday of last week, while drinking,
John Cook, colored, who has been work
ing for contractors on the new electric
line, told story of the murder of How
ard Heaste by the two men who were
later arrested.
1t seems from Cooks story that Heaste
was at a house near Bowie in company
with Dorsey and Banks, and was muir
dered there for bis money and was car
ried to the culvert where he was found
the following morning.
Cook claims he was not an eyewitness
to the murder. but heard the struggle and
says woman who was present told him
about the murder.
The men were bruught, here and put in

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is infam-
ed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

The city council of Corpus
Christi is not giving away fran
chises without safe guarding the in
terest of the town. The franchise
for a street railway which has been
asked for in that city is being held
up until the company arranges to
give full assurance that it will
build a first class system in every
respect, with a foil understanding
as to road bed. equipment, rates
and Identifying bonds. As the
Sun remarks, the franchise is a
valuable one, and will in time be-
come more so, and should not be
given away lightly. 1t is only
right that the city council should
carefully consider all points bear
ing on the subject, before giving
away a valuable franchise.

MONDAY MARCH Il, 1907.
STATE COURTS SHOULD
TAKE 4 HAND.


The state courts of Texas should
take hand in the Penrose case,
as soon as the court-martial at
Sam Houston finishes its work.
Several witnesses who have ap-
peared before the court should be
arrested for perjury. Sergt. Maj.
Taliaferro has proven himself one
of the tallest liars yet testifying in
behalf of Penrose. Private Otis
of the Twenty-sixth Infantry is
another witness, whose white skin
bellies the blackness of his heart.
But Matias Tamayo, the Mexican
scavenger, of Brownsville, has pro-
ven himself the blacklist perjurer
of them all, for he has tried to help
clear the outrageis of his home
town, by attempting to fasten the
bloody crime upon his own people
giving testimony that, if true,
would assist Penrose and his fends
in their effort to show that Mex
ican policemen of Brownsville
tried to massacre the people of
their own town, killed Natus and
manned their own lieutenant. The
course of Tamayo is explicable
only by the theory that he first
testified as he did on account of
threats from the negro soldiers,
and afterwards stuck to his lies
from fear of being indicted for
perjury which he certainly should
be, if he shows his face in Browns
vile again. Our people should
afford no protection to a Judas.
But these are not the only in
cidents of the Penrose trial which
make the honest blood of Browns
vile citizens boil with wrathful
Indignation. The very plan of
defense adopted by that rank hypo-
critic, and contemplate coward,
Who is on trial, in trying to shirk
responsibility for the outrage by
endeavoring to fasten the crime
upon our own people is enough to
make all Brownsville and the state
Of Texas as well rise up in pro-
test. As Captain Mcdonald says,
the state of Texas should not
stand for it. " THE HERALD would
put the question plainly to the
people OF this town: Do you pro-
pose TO stand for it? To have this
heinous crime fastened upon our
people while Penrose, who was
primarily responsible, and his
black 6ends who did the bloody
deed. 60 free and laugh in our
faces Is there no recourse under
the law of Texas against such men
as Penrose? By submitting tame
ly to such gross injustice, shall
we not make ourselves the laugh
ing stock of the whole country?

getting a hold upon the criminals
who committed the outrage upon |

THE HERALD DOUBTS IT

THE. HERALD DOUBTS IT
The statement has been made
several times of late, though not
from an official source, that the
st. Louis, Brownsville and Mexico
railroad company intends to aban-
don the Rio Grande railroad be-
tween Brownsville and Point Isa-
bel and build a line instead from
Harlingen to the Point. Of course,
the company would not be likely
to acknowledge that such was its
purpose at present, even if it were
so, but THE HERALD is very
much inclined to doubt the state
ment.
There are those, it is true, who
claim to have learned from parties
very close to headquarters that
such is the intention of the COM
pany, and then back up the state
ment by calling attention to the
fact that the company is allowing
the present road to the Point and
the rolling stock to go to ruin,
with the evident intention of aban-
doning the same. 1t may be, how
ever, that the company intends to
replace the present road with a
standard gauge track. That such
will be done within the next few
months is said to be quite probable.
One thing appears certain, and
that is that the present narrow
gauge track and equipment will be
abandoned. Whether it will be re-
placed with broad gauge road, or
abandoned entirely and a new road
built to the Point from Harrington,
will probably develop within the
next few months.
Should the latter course be de-
termined upon by the company,
it would naturally give Browns
vile black eye, and THE HERALD
does not believe that the company
has any such knife up its sleeve for
a town that gave cash bonus of
$40, 900 to help build its road, be-
sides other privileges. However,
if it should come to the worst, and
Brownsville be left in the lurch in
that way, there is still hope for the
town in the new railroad which
Col. Lott proposes to build to
Brownsville, and which will event
ually be the making of the place,
in that the machine shops and ter
minals will be located here.

John w. Daniel suggested for
the Presidency

The name of Senator John W.
Daniel has been of late frequently
spoken of as a possible candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
the Presidency. His high attain
ments and lofty character emf
nently qualify him for this honor,
and the fact that he is Southern
man but emphasizes his fitness for
the place. The South furnishes the
rank and file of Democratic voters,
and for this reason Dixie should
have dominating voice in naming
the Democratic standard-bearer.
Virginians advocating the claims
of Senator Daniel are Lieutenant
Governor j. Taylor Ellyson and
Mr.. Thomas F. Ryan CT New York.
The State press also lie falling in
to line. Among the complimentary
notices, the following editorial is
from the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot,
whose editer-in-chief is ex-Gov-
ernor William K. Cameron, who
defeated Senator Daniel for Gov
ernor in 1881, and is a graceful
tribute from a one-time rival:
eff there is quality lacking in
Senator Daniels composition
which entities a man to the res
pect and affection of his fellow
men, az intimate association with
him for more years than make she
average lifetime has not enabled
the writer to discern it. If in the OK
tended period of his public life
there has been one act dictated by
any motive less lofty than a sense
of duty to his people and convic-
lions, the open record does not
disclose 1t. If to the cause his
youth embraced he ever gave less
than full devotion, the scars he
bears belle his soul. If since his
flag went down at Appomattox, he
has eve- faltered in or paltered
with the allegiance pledged to the
restored Union, let those who
have served with him in the coun'
ellis of the nation and have shared
his labors in the service of the
whole country bear testimony.
Lofty in character, of high endow-
ments, learned in the law, of ripe
experience in State-craft, no eulo'
GUM can be passed upon him too
high for this paper to endorse.
There is no Office to which
he could aspire as Demo
cratic nominee for which this pa
per would not support him. If ne
aspires to the Democratic nomina-
tion for the Presidency the in
Auence of this paper is his to COM
maud against the claims or pre-
tentions of any other person what
soever."

A WISE GOOD ROADS MOVE

The action of the Board of Sup
ervisors of Rockbridge at their re
cent meeting in making liberal az
preparations for the permanent
improvement of public roads, Ger
tainly meets the approval OF eve
~ one who desires to see the pub
lie thorougbfares of Rockbridge
bettered. The amount of money
at the disposal of the various dis
trict road boards will enable them
to make a start in permanent roao
building. AS has been said a mum.
Der of times in the columns of thi.
paper, the building of roads il
Rock bridge can be accomplished
at the very minimum cost, becaus'
along the roadside of nearly every
highway In the county the stone
for macadam is ready at hand.
Now for concerted action by the
various road boards in the pur-
chase of modern machinery fo'
road Cole action. Without this
the expenditure of money for mere.
ly temporary Improvement will BE-
an extravags nee and not an econ
omy. One of the essentials, as
considered by practical rOadma'
kers, is the steam roller, 80 thai
the macadam roads may be made
ready for immediate use. The
old method of scattering loose
rock on a roadway and requiring
the travelling public to beat ii
down smooth, at the expense OF
horsehesh and the wear and teal
of vehicles, is an Anticipated way
of building roads.

CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL
DAY

Next Saturday has been selected
by the Confederate organizations
of Rockbridge as the day on which
to honor the memory of our Con-
federete dead. The yearly recital
of the heroic deeds of the gallant
men who responded to the call of
the Southland is a story that never
grows old, but gathers fresh in
spiration by It's annual repetition.
Around the four years of '61-'65
cling many of the dearest memo
ries of the fast-thinning ranks
who wore the grey. The occasion
Saturday will appeal, as the occa-
sion always appeals, to the patriot
ism of not only the surviving mem
bers of that struggle, but also OF
their descendants and friends.
Memorial Day in Virginia and
many Of the Southern States Is OBJ
served at different times by the
various localities. 1t is unfortu-
nate that definite day has not
been selected, so that all over Vir-
ginia, if not all through the South,
the day should be uniformly OBJ
served. The flower season coming
a little earlier il some sections
than in others may have something
to do with a uniform date not
having been selected before this.
1t seems that this objection would
not interfere with a uniform State
Memorial Day.
