racy as enunciated by Thomas JEFF
ferson and exemplified by w. J. Bry-
an.
The meeting was held in pur-
suance to a call issued several days
before by Hon. ]. T. Gill, chairman
of the Ellis County Democratic
Executive committee. Promptly at ?
O. clock Mr. Gill called the house to
order and briefly stated the object
of the gathering. He read the call
and then emphasized the fact that
the only purpose of the meeting was
to organize a Bryan club and en-
dorse the candidacy of Mr.. Bryan
for the presidency on the democratic
ticket.
Yancey D. Kemble said that if
such was the object of the meeting
he wanted all those who would
pledge themselves to inject no side
issues into the proceedings to stand
up. Nearly everyone in the house
stood up.
Mr., Gill then announced that the
election of a temporary secretary
was in order w, A Ownby was cho-
sen for this place.
The next order of business was
the election of a temporary chair
man of the meeting.
J. c. Lumpkins of Waxahachie
and S. F. Newman of Ennis were
placed in nomination.
A viva voce vote was taken but it
appeared to be so close that a rising
vote was called for. This proved un-
satisfactory and impracticable and
it was then suggested that there be
division of the house. Chairman
Gill announced that all who favored
the election of Mr. Newman would
assemble on the right side of the
house and those favoring Mr.. Lump
kins on the left Owing to the crowd
ed condition in the auditorium it re-
quired several minutes to make the
division Tellers were then appoint
ed to count all on each side. This re-
Quired some time as the tellers had
to count those voting and recount
them for verification. The result as

TEXAS ROADS FIGHT LAW.
Validity of Gross Receipts Law to Be
Determined

Austin, Texas, March 16.-Ac-
cording to advices from the clerk of
the United States supreme court,
the test case. of the Galveston, Har-
risburg and San Antonio railway
company. Hartman line, against
the state of Texas. will probably be
submitted this week.
This is the case in which the rail-
roads of the state are seeking to
test the constitutionality of the act
of the Twenty-ninth legislature,
known as the Love bill, levying an
occupation tax on the railroads,
measured by their gross receipts,
and upon its decision hangs the
question OF whether or not the state
of Texas will collect amounts ag-

TO HEAR BIG COPPER SUIT.
Albert Bigelow Seeks Restraining
Order Against Mining Co.


Trenton, n. J., March 16.-In the
court of chancery tomorrow, on ap-
plication of counsel for Albert S.
Bigelow, of Cohasset, Mass, hear
ing will be granted on the order to
show cause why the Old Dominion
Copper Mining and Smelling com
pany should not be restrained from
further prosecuting suits to recover
judgments rendered against Mr..
Bigelow in the Massachusetts courts
The judgments are for $1,213, ,566
and $S32,160,
The bill of complaint alleges that
Bigelow and the late Leonard Lew
isohn, of New York, were the per-
sons who acted as promoters to ar
range for the purchase of a large
amount of property for the Old Do
minion company for prices grossly
in excess of its value, and it is claim
ed that they should be held account
able for the profits wrongfully re-
ceived.
The Massachusetts courts decided
against Bigelow. The United States
circuit court for New York held that
the company could not recover
against the estate of Lewiston, and
an appeal was taken to the United
States supreme court

CAUSE FOR A PROTEST
CENTRAL ANNULS FOUR TRAINS
BETWEEN WAXAHACHIE
AND GARRETT.

Orders have been issued from the
and Texas Central annulling the
short run trains now operating be-
tween here and Garrett According
to notice received by Local Agent
Kennedy this order becomes effective
Wednesday morning, and from that
date only through trains will be OPP
Grated over the Fort Worth division.
The discontinuance of the trains
referred to will not only affect nine
employees, but will be a great incon
venience to the travelling public. 1t
is expected that this action of the
railroad officials will meet with a
vigorous protest. 1t is understood
that commercial travellers who cover
this territory, and especially those
who reside in Waxahachie, will send
petition to the railroad commits
sion asking that these trains be re-
instated. The annullment of these
trains makes it impossible for the
people of Palmer, Ferris and Trum
bull to come to Waxahachie, trans
act their business and return home
the same day. Citizens of Ennis who
come here to attend court or to at
tend to any other business must
necessarily leave home about
O'Clock in the morning, arriving here
at 6:3S and remain until 9:O6 at
night whereas under the present ar
rangement they can return to Ennis
at o'clock in the afternoon. 1t is
believed that if the matter is pre-
sented to the Central officials in the
right light they will rescind their
former order and allow the trains to
remain as they are now operated.

CRIME IS A DARING ONE

Clerks.

Spokane, Wash, March ia
lone bandit boarded the mail car on
the hington-Oriental Limited
the finest trans-cOntinental train of
the Great Northern railroad, at
Bonner's Ferry, Idaho, before day
light yesterday morning, bound the
two mail clerks and robbed the
mail and express cars. The robbery
was not discovered until the train
reached Spokane at 9:20 a. m,
more than five hours after the ban
dit boarded the train.
When the train arrived here the
mail car was closed. Employees at
the station opened the car and
found one of the mail clerks lying
bound on the mail sacks. The other
clerk was locked in a closet.
As soon as the men were released
they said that bandit boarded the
car at Bonner's Ferry, division
point of $50 people about $50 miles
east of Spokane where the train ar
rived at 4:04 a. m. The bandit, the
clerks declared held them up, bound
them and went through the regis
tered mail He then said he would
work the mail and proceeded to do
so. According to their statements,
the robber at all the regular stops
threw off the mails and took the out
going sack through at some of the
smaller places where the train does
not stop, he did not throw off the
mail He stayed on the train for
nearly five hours, jumping off at the

junction two miles east of Spokane

More than five hundred enthusi-

sembled in the district court room
Saturday afternoon for the purpose
of organizing a Bryan club for the
county. Basing the attendance on
the vote cast for the two candidates
for temporary chairman of the
meeting it is possible that six hum
dred would be a conservative esti-
mate. Nearly all the towns in the
county were we'll represented En-
mis-, Milford. Italy and Midlothian
sent large delegations. Quite num-
Der came from Ferris, Palmer and
Maypearl. The unusually large at
tendance was a surprise to those
who had the matter in charge. Not
only was the seating capacity of the
main auditorium taxed beyond its
capacity, but for awhile the balcony
was almost completely filled. Many
young men who will cast their first
vote this year were present to enroll
their names under the leadership of

STRIKE MENACES
The GOULD Lines

DENVER, Colo, March 2.-The
News today says: After short con-
ference yesterday with General Man
ager Ridgely of the Denver and Rio
Grande system, a committee of ma
chinists employed on the system was
informed that the company will abb
rogate its contracts after March IA.
and after that date viii mot recog-
nize the machinists, blacksmiths,
car-repairers or boiler-makers unions
The committee will submit the ques-
ton Immediately to a referendum
vote of all the employees belonging to
those unions who are employed on
the Gould roads.
1t is claimed the men will not sub
NIT 10 the plan of the railroad COM
pany and that a general strike on
all the Gould roads, excepting the
International and Great Northern, IS
imminent. The machinists say the
action of the company in working it's
employees only 81 few hours day is
arbitrary.
The company also announced yes
terday that there would be reduc-
ton of the wages paid telegraph OPP

ask that when my spirit quits this
shell of mortal clay,
And DER the TRAIL across the range,
pursues its silent way,
That no imposing marble shaft will
mark the spot where rest
The tailings of the bard who sang the
praises of the West.
But that above them may be placed
a slab of white or gray,
And on it but the epitaph carved III

Upon the headboard of a man who
did the best he could
TO have the bad deeds of his life

No nicely worded sentiment intended
to condone
The sins of an eventful life, nor say
the virtues wiped
Away the stains of vice--in lines

That rough but honest sentiment that
stood above the head
OF one who wore his boots into his
final earthly bed,
Is good enough for me to have above
my Wondering clay;
Just give the name, the day I quit
and underneath it say
HE done his damndest'
Some, who are overstocked with
''phony" piety, may raise
Their hands in blank aniazement al

With six or seven different kinds OF

RICH ORE FROM
SEVEN TROUGHS

The Mazuma Hills Leasing Com
pany, operating the Reagan lease on
the Mazuma Hills property, sent out
a shipment of ore this week which is
not only the first shipment to go out
from any lease, but lis the record
shipment of the district in gross
value. 1t is the fifth shipment of
ore from the Mazuma Hills property,
following within week the latest
high grade shipment from the COM
pany workings and the recently de-
clared policy of the company hence
forth to ship regularly says the
Seven Troughs Miner.
The present shipment consists of
twenty-five tons of ore running up to
more than $4,000 per ton, and aver
aging, according to long assay rec
ord, better than $1,000 a ton. The
shipment included 100 sacks of Sc
| lected high grade, the. general aver
age of value of which is sensationally
| high. This latter consignment which
Immediately followed the main ship
ment, consists largely Of specimen
ore, some of which will run better
than IS a pound. The entire ship
ment is believed to represent the
greatest value in ore yet sent out of
the district.
This consignment of high grade is
! the product of about two months
work on the rich ore shoot uncovered
from the Reagan incline shaft at APP
proximately the 100-foot level, and is
incidental mainly to the development
and preparations of the lease for flu
ture production.
Ever since Mr.. Reagan struck the
ore, few men have been taking it
out while the drift has been pushed
south to connect with the working
shaft about 200 feet distant and
northward to determine the extent
of the ore shoot in that direction.
Neither of these objects have yet
been attained, but, incidentally, one
of the richest and most productive
ore shoots in the district has been
disclosed, the extent of which is yet
unknown, the outlying ground not
having been reached.
With connections soon to be made
with the vertical working shaft. and
the latter going steadily down, the
Reagan lease will soon be in shape
to tap its subterranean treasury IN a
systematic and thorough manner, and
begin regular shipping record that
will add greatly to the fame and pro-
duction of the district.
The ore bearing vein is large. we'll
defined and strong, running almost
north and south, and lying in a con-
tact of porphyry with the black dixie.
The latte. being on the west side OF
the vein instead of the east side. as
nth the great MaZuma Hills vein.
The Reagan vein is but few hun
dred feet from the Mazuma Hills
vein, and is thought to lie against the
dixie as the latter. A string of lessees
have blocks on the same ore zone,
and one. of the principal results OF
the shipment will be great revival
of activity on the other leases.
The Prior lease, adjoining the Rea-
gan lease. has developed rich ore
shoot supposedly on the same vein
from which consignment of ore is
being forwarded to the smelters. This
is said to be part of a program to re
sumo active operations on the lease
which recently temporarily closed
down.
The ore of.the Mazuma Hills Leas-
ing Company has been sent to the
smelters In Utah.
