broke down sobbing, and told the po-
lice that he had been throwing yitriol
on women for several years.
II have always hated women" he
said "One of them treated me wrong
once, and I've got no use for any OF
them l suppose that's the reason ]
threw the acid on them. I've thrown
it on a good many l got the acid in
the factory where | work, and used
a small syringe, which l threw away
when you policemen were struggling
with me. If you let me go l promise
never to throw any more acid"

City Council Doings.

At a meeting of the council
Wednesday the following was
done:
a petition was presented sign
ed by tifty-two taxpayers asking
the city to put in electric lights
at each corner of the public
square and as far up Houston
street toward the depot as the
council was willing to. In con
nection with this the Ice and
Light Co. proposed to put in Gem
lamps of $50 watt power on the
square corners at 1925 per
month and 30 candle power lamps
up Houston at 81. Is each per
month. A committee composed
of Aldermen Reid, Ingham and
Foster was instructed to take
this matter up with the light
company and if arrangements
satisfactory to said committee be
made, to contract for lights at
above rates.
The Northwest Texas Tele-
phone Co. was ordered to enclose
all wires on the public square in
insulated cables within 60 days.
Any further moving of houses
across the public square, the
courthouse alone excepted, was
prohibited unless the consent of
the city council be first obtained.
The penalty for failure to observe
this order is fine of not less
than SO nor more than $50.
Adjourned at II a. m. subject
to call of mayor.
A permit was given the new
courthouse contractor to build a
spur track from the main line of
the Santa Fee to the square so
that he might unload his materi-
al from the cars where wanted |

urday from a trip to Big Springs,
Midland and the country there
abouts. He does not like the
sand about the last named town
and there are many other feat
ures connected with the country
he visited, that in his mind, make
it much less desirable as a farm
ing proposition and as place to
live than on the Plains. Mr..
Smith returned by Dallas, visit

Commissioners Court.

This court was in session this
week finishing it's labors as a
board of equalization. The work
of two weeks ago in this particu-
lar line of business was reviewed
and the valuations then made
were reduced some to CORES
pond with the present Judgment
of the board as to what was equal
ity in the matter, the Governors
opinion considered and county
against county the state over.
The tax valuations of Randall,
as now fixed, are still higher than
those of surrounding counties
with the possible exception OF
Potter, and in the opinion of The
News much higher than they
should be as compared to the
same purpose valuations already
given by counties in the great
black land belt of the state.
1t will soon be up to the state
board to say whether or not this
unevenness or want of equality
in tax burdens among the coun-
ties shall be allowed to stand.
