ENTHUSIASTIC TENT MEETING.
Large Crowds Attend Every Service
Much Interest Aroused.

The most successful series of meet.
ings that Welsh has experienced with
in the past two years is being held
here now under the auspices OF the
Acknowledgement. Bud Robinson, the
converted cowboy, who is conducting
these services, is appealing to the
hearts and consciences of men and
women in an irresistible manner. The
Christian people are becoming fully
aroused to the needs of the hour,
while many who have never made any
profession of faith are becoming deep
" concerned regarding their SOULS
welfare. The meetings are probably
the most largely attended of anv that
have ever been held here. Not only
the most of the people of Welsh and
surrounding country are attending
but also large delegations from the
neighboring towns of Jennings, Iowa,
Lake Arthur, Lake Charles and other
points are included in the audiences
that assemble three times a day to
hear the noted cowboy preacher. The
indications are that much good will
result from these meetings. This is
an opportunity that no one should
miss Of enjoying real religious treat.
1t is the intention 10 continue the
meetings until Sunday night.

DOUBTS AS TO DYNAMITE
Railroad Men Say Burlington Limited
May Have Been Wrecked by
a Defective Rail,

Butte, Mont, May AIN view of the
growing opinion that the wreck of the
Burlington limited Friday night might
have been due to other causes than
the placing of explosives upon the
tracks, Coroner Jess e. stephens today
announced that he would hold sec
Ond inquest over the body of George
Ehle, the Inflated fireman of the train,
who died from his injuries Sunday
morning, in the hope that new light
might be shown on the wrecking of the
limited.
The coroners jury in their inquest
over the bodies of Bussey and Meng
found to the effect that dynamite
caused the wreck. Not few railroad
men, it appears. entertain the belief
that the disaster might have been
caused by a defective rail, though this
theory is secuted by those who partici-
Dated in the disaster.
Special Agent w. j. McFetridse of
the Northern Pacific detective force
tonight said he had nothing To give
out, though Sheriff Henderson said
he expected that within several days
something would materialize from a
clew they were following.
