Police Have Theory.

The police are working on the the
DRY that the dead man is a member of
an anarchist body which has been
very active here lately. 1t is thought
the dead man was named to kill the
chief in revenge for the protection
given priests in the city yesterday.
Threats had been made against GER
tain priests in the city, and the chief
gave them police protection. The
man who was killed by the chief to-
day called at his home on three diff
ferent occasions yesterday, saying he
had note for the chief, but as the
chief was not at home the man did
not leave any note. 1t is now thought
he used the same preteXt today, and
when the chief reached for the note
he was stabbed. This attracted the
son and the servant, who appeared on
the scene. The man begun shooting,
with the results that the son and the
servant were injured.

Young Shippy May Die.

Physicians this afternoon say there
is very little chance for Harry Shippy
to live. Shippy received two bullets
in his body. Foley has a bullet in his
breast. The shooting attracted the
chief, who was stabbed as he rushed
through the door. He put five bullets
into an unknown man, killing him
outright. The dead man looks like an
Italian, and appeared to be about "a
years old. Mayor Busse, accompanied
by body guard, went to the Shippy
home as soon as he heard of the
shooting. 1t is believed that the at
tack was the result of the recent an
archist agitation in the city.

The motive behind the charges, ac-

NOTHING IN REPORT

JUDGE Freeman Authorizes Statement That He
Never Contemplated Moving General
Offices From Palestine.

: Reports printed in Houston papers

of the l. & G. N. R. R. as saying that
in all probability the headquarters of
the road would be moved to Houston
from this city caused quite furry
here, and started many people to ask
ing questions Following the arrival
of the receiver in the city this morn
ing the Herald asked him to affirm or
deny the report.
The question was asked of the re-
ceiver in the following way:
Judge Freeman, will you affirm or
deny the report that the headquarters
of the 1. & G. N. are to be moved to
Houston. that we may make use Of
your answer in today's issue of the
Herald?"
Palestine daily herald. [volume] (Palestine, Tex.) 1902-1949, 1908-03-02

Judge Freeman's answer was cour-
teous, but positive. He said over his
personal signature: 81 beg to state
that | have never considered making
any change in the general headquar-
tiers Of the road"
The Herald, as will the business
men of the city generally, appreciates
this prompt denial of rumor that
was calculated to disturb the business
conditions of the city in a marked de-
gree, if unchallenged. And it will be
good news to all to know that there
is no contemplated change in the loca-
ton of the general offices of the
road. Many of our best people are
connected with the offices, and they
are big asset to the city's business
circles.

money in the pockets OF the ship owner

invariably with the man whose nerve

The Yankee skipper of the old days

not encourage his son to follow the

American officers. but the supply is
woefully inadequate even to man the
few merchantmen that now trade un-

methods have been tried to attract
young America to the sea, but the ef-

Freshie Is Amazed
He views the lecture room from afar
with amazement. There seems to be
wild fight going on. Dozens of men
are thrusting each other aside in an
effort to gain entrance. Fresh comes
up and attempts to assume distrait
air as of thorough understanding.
When the rabble has forced itself in
side Fresh enters slowly and looks
for an empty seat He finds none. The
only available place of retreat is the
chalk trough at the back of the hall,
where he stands for the remainder Of
the session, which is a revelation. The
professor seems to be delivering his
address in language akin to that OF
George AIDES Fables in Slang The
students threaten to break up the ses-
sion several times by terrific "Oskiss
and skyrocket yells. Fresh, being
young and ignorant, wonders sadly if

is very dubious as he goes out at the
close of the professors lecture to find
all the doorsteps and dry goods boxes
on the place being utilized by students
from the chemical classes. who have
chosen these places to work out their
experiments. He doesn't know that
they are merely the overflow from the
regular laboratories, and his ideas of
college dignity and decorum receive
another jolt.
There is Circular of Information

FRESHMAN RULES

I'VE are inclined to believe that the
worthy sophomores spent so much en-
ergy in getting out their proclamation
for freshmen that they are not able
to enforce their strenuous rules. We
have observed several daring freshmen
wearing caps and a few of the in
fants reposing peacefully on North
hall steps. If we are to have traditions
we shall have TO have them enforced.
The sophomores viii have to get busy
or we shall be forced to conclude that
they have started something they can
not finish"
Thus ends the epitome of college
life. AS in the old proverb. 1T is only
the first step that COSTS so the first
months at college are the hardest and
most painful. In them the freshman
undergoes a stripping process which
tears his outside she'll and crust from
him. exposing him naked to all who
would view him. So he enters upon
the road that leads to graduation.
Through his work on track ana field
he has risen from the purely local no.
