come to our knowledge, and after
Investigation have seen proper to
return into your honorable court
thirteen true bills for felony Of
fenseaaa two true bills for mis-
demeanor offenses.
Second: We have visited the
county Jail and find it well kept,
very clean, and in a sanitary con
dition; and the Inmates confined
therein well satisfied with the
treatment received>at the hands
of Jailer j. II. Deborah. We,
however, recommend Nlat one of
the cell doors, which is oNt of or
der, be overhauled; and $hat a
leak in the roof, which is daiAag-
ing the walls, be repaired. We
have also visited the county poor
farm and find same in splendid
condition.
Third: We find that our court
house ianitor, W. M. billiard,
keeps the courthouse in perfect
condition, and we recommend
that the commissioners court
provide him with more suitable
hall carpet, in place of the bag
ging" now used.
Fourth. We find that crime is
continually diminishing in our
county and that the labor of the
grand jury has been facilitated
by the prompt prosecution of
men charged with misdemeanors
by complaint, and by the arrest
and investigation of men charged
with felonies before the sitting of
the grand jury.
Fifth: In reference to the
charge of your honor, to look in
to the financial condition of the
county, we have been informed
by the commissioners that they
have appointed committee to
audit the books Of the county
Sixth; We find that the coun-
ty roads generally are in bad
condition, but that with small
increase in the road fund, the
commissioners in the different
| precincts are doing some APP
l.preciab. lie work, 4-4 !.
Seventh We have been de.
prived of the assistance of our
district attorney, Hon. w. NJ At
kinson, by reason of the death Of
his brother at San Marcos. We
desire to express to him our sin
cere sympathy in his great be
reavement.
Eighth We extend our thanks
to the officers who have been o.
great assistance to us, and shown
US many courtesies. Respec
fully submitted,

MEMPHIS MAN IS
 TAKEN IN DENVER


 Denver, July 23-James w. Anderson, arrested here on suspicion of being J. L. Byrd wanted in Memphis, Tenn, for the murder of Joseph Black, a shoe dealer of that city, today confessed to the murder. Byrd was married two weeks ago at Colorado Springs and with his bride was enjoying his honey moon at Denver.
 Anderson's confession followed a talk with Chief of Police Armstrong, in tn latter's office. Anderson's bride of two weeks, who was present, finally inter- rupted.
 Jimmie, if you are the man, tell them," she said. Tt will make no diff ference to me, because I will stick by you no matter what the circumstances"
 Then Armstrong said:
 "Cnief, I am the man you want I killed Black because I thought my life was endangered. We fought over a baseball bet and he started toward me with an open knife in his hand. l seized the only weapon at hand, a shoe stretcher, and struck him over the head with 1t. I did not mean to kill him. I did not tell you before on ac- count of my wife,
 Anderson, or Byrd, added that Black previously had insulted him several times.

In some other directions where the char acter of the future demand is not clear ly defined. Price adjustments to higher levels consequent upon higher cost of production are having a somewhat con servative effect, but at the same time, confidence Is abundantly manifested that the great volume of transactions will be maintained. The movement of goods from mills and agencies continues of large pro portions. The increased volume of inn ports in textiles is due in some measure to the anxiety to the large houses to be as free as possible of complications that must arise when a new tariff law goes into effect.
 Exports of cotton goods thus far this year are more than up with this time last year. Tanners are more encouraged over the prospect for free or low duty hides in the tariff bill and are consequently more disposed to hold off from buying. Domestic hides, though quiet, are un- changed in price and further advance has been scored in foreign dry hides. Leather is quiet. Buyers are holding off until they have secured more orders for shoes. Prices, however, are very strong. and decreased receipts offset the di- unfinished demand. Trade in shoes con- tinues very quiet.

 T have six letters from my aunt my mothers sister,, Mrs J. l.. Hutchinson, of Streator, H., which will help me. In each of these letters my aunt warned me to keep away from my mother"
 Mrs Mayf1eld quoted from one of the letters as follows:
 Dear Agnes: If I were in your place I would avoid your mother because feel she will do you mischief if your hus- band does not come to her terms"
 In a second letter Mrs. Hutchinson is quoted as saying:
 You know how your mother is-she will either rule or ruin
 'I fear for you if you refuse to turn over the 290 acres of mining land in Mex ico."
 Mrs. Mayfleld stated that her mothers hatred of her began year ago when she married Dr. Mayfield
