timony in connection with the suit
brought by the United States govern
ment to dissolve the Standard Oil

nANGLtD IN CONvtY0R IN MEMORY OF LINCOLN
LEFT FOOT OF OIL MILL SUPER
lNTENDENT FRIGHTFULIY
CRUSHED.

The left foot of T. H. Williams.
superintendent of the Waxahachie
Cotton Oil companys mill was cut
and mangled in frightful manner
today a few minutes before L.
o'clock. That Mr. Williams did not
lose his life was due to the fact that
he was discovered in time by other
employees of the mill for the ma
chinery to be stopped. BY some mis-
hap Mr.. Williams foot was caught
in the seed conveyor on the outside
of the mill. The muscles of the foot
and the lower part of the leg were
badly lacerated and in some places
the bone was laid bare AS soon as
Mr.. Williams was extricated from
the machinery he was conveyed to
the office of Dr.. d. G.. Thompson,
where he received medical and sur
gical attention. In the examination
of the injuries made by the physi-
clan small bone in the foot was
found to be fractured. Unless some
unforeseen complications develop
it is thought the injured man will
soon recover. After his wounds had
been dressed he was taken to his
home on Royal street.

LEW WALLACE'S BEN-HUR.
Mighty Biblical Romance to Be
Staged at Dallas Opera House,

Mighty Biblical Romance to BE
Staged at Dallas Opera House.
When the curtain is drawn at the
Dallas opera house, Dallas, on Mon
day evening, February "a, the most
elaborate, magnificent and histor
ically correct production will be dis
closed that has ever charmed and
enthralled a theatre audience for
this will be the premiere of the Chi
cago auditorium production of Ben
Hur' in Dallas. More than three
years have elapsed since "Ben-Hur"
was first presented in Dallas At that
time hundreds journeyed from this
vicinity to witness it. No doubt the
same excellent patronage will mark
the forthcoming engagement.
'Ben-Hur,' with it's lustrous Star
of Bethlehem, its cameis, Ara bian
steeds, oriental trappery, and mimic
splendor of the gorgeous east" is
beyond dispute the most elaborate
spectacle ever staged in the history
of the world. It's series of II scenes
present to the eye feast of multi
farious beauty and variety, all set to
symphonic accompaniment of
graceful music. The exciting episodes
such as the galley scene with its
horde of chained slaves; the sea-
fight, the rescue in mid-sea and the
thrilling race with two chariots and
eight horses, combined with the pic
turesque scenes illustrating the Wise
Men in the desert, the moonlit lake
in the Orchard of Palms where Ben
Hur and Iras enjoy exclusion and
make love in Iras' barge, the palm
waving worshippers on Mout Olivet,
and the Grove of Daphne with it's
nymphs dancing in the skins of
beasts to the music of kissing Gym
bals-simply captivate audiences
wherever it is enacted
"Ben-Hur" appeals to all classes,
all ages and all denominations of
the christian faith, and draws to it,
as to place of worship, hundreds
of thousands who seldom, if ever, set
foot within theatre. The person of
the Saviour is never made to appear
bodily in the play, yet in the scene
in which the healing of the lepers is
implied the approach of the Master
is indicated by a stream of pure
white light, amazing in it's effective
ness. This scene is the most remark
able of the play and is heightened in
fmpressiveness by the singing of a
chorus of one hundred voices, join

London, Feb. IA band of mil
liant delegates from the parliament
of Woman Suffragists, which is now
in session in London, made a vigor-

mons yesterday afternoon. Their at
tempt to rush the doors of the lob
by, however, was frustrated by the
watchful eye of the police, who had
a sharp skirmish with the shrieking
women, two score of whom were ar

ers'
The delegates secreted themselves
in furniture vans in the vicinity of
the building, and were thus enabled
to get close to the point of attack be-
fore being discovered.

final LINK OF
HARTMAN Line

CHICAGO. April 21.-Edward H
Hartman, the railroad wizard, will
realize his dream of an actual trans
continental line tomorrow with the
formal opening of the Birmingham
Division of the Illinois Central sys-
TEN. This link gives him route
from the Pacific to the Atlantic, Sa-
vannah, Ga, being the Eastern te' :
minus.
Connecting with Harriman's Cen
trail of Georgia at Birmingham, the
Illinois Central will form link over
which traffic can be routed from coast
to coast over lines controlled by Har-
riman, either by way of Chicago and
Omaha and the Union Pacific. or by
way of New Orleans and the Southern
Pacific. BY securing the Central OF
Georgia, Hartman has also obtainei
a steamship line running from Savan-
nah, Ga, the terminus of that rail-
road, to New York.
The opening of the Birmingham di-
vision will give the Illinois. Central
an inlet to the great coal and iron
ilields of Alabama with their immense
annual tonnage.

RICH GOLD STRIKE
MADE IN RAWHIDE

RAWHIDE, New, April 22.-At a
depth of eighty feet in the Luning
lease in Grutt hill this afternoon, a
blind ledge was uncovered measuring
two feet in width, eight inches Of
which was practically alive with free
gold. In places the gold occurred n
thin leaves, practically plastering the
rock 1t ran into the thousands ami
was believed to be the apex of an
immense ledge which would widen
out with depth and make the Luning
one of the richest properties in the
Rawhide district.
The find was made practically in
the heart of the town. Busine SIS
houses and gambling places are with
in sight of the place and the news
of the find spread rapidly In a
short time the hillside was covered
with excited mining men and others,
all anxious to get glimpse of the
rich rock being hauled to the sur
face. 1t is by far one of the bigge Il
strikes made in the camp:
The property was recently pur-
chased by G. L. Hansen and assoc
ciates of Cobalt, who arrived at Raw
hide few weeks ago for the purpose
of making an examination and with
instructions to invest If in his opinion
the condition of the district warrant
ed the belief that it was, mineral
producer.
