lacking.
The Southernmost parts of

from the outside world before noon
yesterday. There are no railroad
connections with points there. Re
ports received by the weather bureau
here indicate that the storm passed
inland from point close to Mata-
gorda bay. It's intensity was
diminished soon after y o'clock yes
terday and at an early hour last night
the wind velocity was recorded as
less than 81 miles an hour. Interior
towns in Texas were thus little
affected by the wind which had
veered from northeast to southeast.
The uneasiness which was entertained
for outing parties on some of the
islands along the Texas coast was dis
PEELED during the night by messages
which assured the safety Of these ex-

Many of them, being aware of the
approach of the storm. took passage
by tugs to the mainland.

On cross examination the surgeon
said he had made examination of

been careful not TO disturb anything
which should have been there for the

witness demonstrated with the re-

self. He took the revolver in his
right hand, extended his arm above
his head with his elbow bent at an
awkward angle and pointed the muz-

ward the middle and rear of the
skull. The women spectators in the

Colonel Charles A. Doyen. senior Of

who stil holds the post. was the next
witness called.
Colonel Doyen told of Lieutenant
Uttley approaching him that night and
telling him that Sutton had killed Roel-

Mr.. Davis objected to the testimony
as hearsay.

'Of course said Mr.. Davis. the

When Colonel Doyen reached the scene
he said he picked up Sutton's right
hand, which was extended directly in
front of his body. and felt for his pulse.
He found he had a pulse and ordered
enc of the officers nearby to hurry and
get the naval academy physician. DIR
Sutton was dead before
they could get him to the hospital, the

Colonel Doyen described the incidents

DIR. Crumbine of the state board
of health declares that something
must be done by the state to check
the spread of the disease in the pen
itentiary. The. prison officials have
asked for a tuberculosis hospital for
some years but the request has al

The state board Of health may be
able to force the schools and the
railroads to install slot machines for
the tin cup TO the shelf along with

do business at the old stand. The ex-
ecutive council, fearing q political
revolution if the cup. is removed and

to stick to his dairy business instead

soon found that the matter could not be
settled satisfactorily without an exanli
nation of the books of these companies,

The Armour assessment was fixed by
the county board at S2,260,000. The
company claims this is about % per

assessment scaled from $50, 600 down to

assessment be reduced from 81, $50 900
to S1022, 600, Swift & Co want theirs
reduced from $1,390,00O to $1.144, 300 The

The commission dismissed the appeal
OF the Metropolitan Water company of
Kansas City and also that of the Stock
ards company. Last year the water
works plant was assessed at $198, ,000 It
vas treated as real estate and the flow
ard lateral lines, hydrants etc, were
treated as part of that real estate.
This year the waterworks plant pro-
per was assessed at the same figure as
last year, but the lateral lines, hyd-
rants, etc, were treated as private pro-
perty and their separate value fixed at
S646 600 The water company nearly
cvaporated from the shock and want the
entire 00C stricken from their as
Sessment roll The commission said
nay, and the courts may be called upon
to settle the case.
The stock yards company thought
their assessment was S500O0 too high.
Their protest came to naught.
