PART OF TEXAS WANTS ID
 SECEDE FROM THE REMAINDER

The following article, printed under she date of Alpine. Texas, appeared ID the Sunday St. Louis Globe Demo crat:
 Many of the people living in that portion of Texas situated west of the Pecos river want to be segregated from the remainder of the state. This secession movement has assumed tangible shape. and the necessary steps are to be taken at the proper ume to bring about 8 division of the state 1t is planned to either create a new state out of the segregated ter rftory or to attach it to New Mexico. Under the terms of the act of congress by which Texas was admitted to the union, the right was given the people of the new state to divide her vast domain into as many as four states at any time they choose to do so. It is urged ny the people of western Texas that the time is now ripe to create at least one additional state out of this vast domain.
 The territory which 1t is proposed shall comprise the new state is ob- long in shape and embraces about 55.Q00 square miles, or one-fifth of the total area of Texas as it now exists. The proposed new state borders on the Rio Grande for about 400 miles 1t is about 250 miles across it in one direction and 225 miles in the other direction. Should the effort that has been inaugurated to create this new state prove successful 1t is probable that Alpine will be made it's capital. 1t is thriving town, situated near the center of the territory involved in the movement, and is surrounded with the natural advantages and re- sources necessary to make it a great city, it is claimed. The city of El Paso is situated in the extreme west ern corner of the proposed new state. it is a town of more than 50,000 popu- lation and is growing rapidly. The se- cession or segregation movement has 8 strong following tIere; in fact, it is said to have the solid support Of the business men end citizens gener- ally of the place. Joseph U. Sweeney, mayor of Fl Paso, i5 one of the most active leaders in the movement.
 Difficulties of Distance.
 That portion of Texas which it IS proposed shall comprise the new state has nothing in common with the re- nlainder of the state as it now exists, either in resources or business trans actions It is 700 miles from Ei PasoI to Austin, the capital of Texas. Los Angeles, Cal, is nearly as close toI El Paso as Austin The territory west of the Pecos river is so far removed from the more popuIous parts of Tex as that there is no bond of sympathy between the people of the proposed new state and those living in the old CT settled portions. II is claimed that adverse legislation has greatly retard- ed the development of the natural re- sources of the transpecos region.
 Laws inimical to this territory have been passed in the face of the objec'

Mystery of Missing Mink Overcoat

of Fargo were willing to SILVER in the
raw prairie blizzard that the next
president of the United States should
be properly clad. The difficulty was
to find man of the Taft physical pro.
portions who owned an overcoat.
The county chairman was in despair
until he happened to think of Finn
Leech. bonanza farmer" whose
ranch is only few miles from Fargo.
Finn weighs $40 pounds. The county
chairman lost no time in getting In
touch with Finn Leech.
Did Finn have an overcoat?' Sure
thing, and 1t was lined with mink and
cost $l75.
"W3uid he loan it to Judge Taft for
use that EVENING" Would he? Would
lifelong Republican miss a chance
to have his finest garment adorn the
shoulders of the leader of his party?
Ten minutes later the overcoat was
In the hands OF the county chairman
and Judge Taft was tucked beneath
its ample folds As soon as his train
reached Fargo. He wore the coat to
the barbecue and to the meetings fol-
lowing the feast. And for all that
Finn knows he may be wearing 1t
now as he follows the elusive golf ball
over the links at Hot Springs
The $l75 mink lined overcoat dis
appeared when Judge Taft left Fargo.
Nobody seems to know where 1t is. Its
owner has asked Senator McCumber
to make an investigation.
It's colder now in Fargo than II was
when Judge Taft visited that city and

going to be the most severe winter
