Any doubts as to the real intent TO
enforce the law were settled Mon

and the police came around after mid
night TO make sure that the closing
was real and not STACY.
AS side issue. 1t is probable that
the saloonists will be forced TO adopt
surety bonds instead of the personal
bonds that have prevailed. There has
been much talk of this among the
liquor men and a company is In the

business.

BEN WEBSTER HEARD FROM
IN THE LONE STAR STATE

Thomas" is an imposter is establish
officials and land spectators are won
dering how they were deceived and
are computing the money paid out on
his lavish promises of financial re-
ward.
Saturday morning a tail, well dress
ed stranger, whose moustache fairly
bristled with business, left lis private
car and registered at the Windsor
Hotel, Abilene, which has outlived
several boom experiences, rubbed its
eyes and welcomed the stranger.
Sir Thomas" got along splendidly
with all he met.
When leading citizens, interested in
the news that they were entertaining
a nobleman unawares, clamored for
an introduction to him, Sir Thomas"
sent down word that he was not re-
ceiving visitors, but later he would
see them and interest them in his plan
of putting Abilene on an equal foot
ing with Chicago in the matter of
beef packing plants and other indus
tries. Later he conferred with many
business men singly. All refuse to
tell their experiences with him today.
He left. Abilene for Post City after
his first days stay here. At Post City
he was more communicative, and an
nounced without reserve his inten-
ton to go in with c. w Post and
purchase the whole of Cara county
to include in his tract He explained
that he and Mr.. Post were closely
associated in business and that both
were members of a syndicate that
was composed largely of British no.
bility-' Millions were to be spent in
developing the country.
He talked glibly of the people he
had met at Dallas, Fort Worth and
other Texas cities. He represented
himself to be friend of H. Clay
Pierce, whom. he said. had entertain
ed him on his steam yacht in New
York and Boston two years ago.
Two business men became suspic-
ious and went to Post City to investi-
gate. When they reached that town
they found that the supposed baronet
stories did not tally. and after a con-
ference with Post Citv bankers thew
decided to return to Abilene and have
a heart to heart talk WITH the pros
pective owner of all the western half
of Texas.
When they reached Abilene Sir
Thomas" was gone, evidently having
got wind of their plan. On a siding
stood his private car, freshly stocked
