Former Hrazos County Boy Writes
Back TO the old Home Paper

AS Il has been quite while since
I have written 10 the Braxos county
people through your paper. viii ask
for another small space Of your valu-
able columns and win try and say
a few words about the Southwestern
part OF Oklahoma.
Most OF the people here are Texans.
and since this was once a part OF Tex
as. every one feels like there isn't
much difference yet. as we are only
twenty three miles from the dividins
line. and another distinction Is, when.
ever stranger comes into our town
and let's Il be known that he Is a
Texan he isn't very long In nndins
some friends provided there isn't Q
warrant for his arrest ahead OF him
This has been an unusual hard year
| In this part Of the world. First OF all
we had an awful dry year. which eau
scd the grain to make a very lisn'
crop. and then the alfalfa crop which
makes from 4 to cuttings. was cut
| to two very light cuttings this year
The corn crop taking the county As q
whole. was cut short one half: and ths
malnstay. which Is better known ~
Texas as cotton. we can safely 81,
that that crop Is cut short one hall.
Not-withstsnding all these calami
ties. the people are all smiles, that y
Il NO worse. and are ell going ahss'
and pushing forward as though Rock
efcl'cr had showered some OF his mil
lions down upon us.

WILL SEARCH
COURTHOUSE

That the farmers on the grand
jury are in deadly earnest about
going through the courth ouse from
top to bottom while they are at 1t
was demonstrated this morning,
when a committee waited on Prose-
cutting Attorney Pugh. The latter
went in person to the grand jury
room and this afternoon it is I'M
derstood that the inquiry will be
carried on as thoroughly as the
grand jury desires.
In order to ascertain and DEM
onstrate the sentiment of the farm
ers of the county as to the pro-
posed investigation, r. B. Martin,
president of the Spokane County
Township club, will call a mass
meeting to be held in Spokane
June Is, at which it is expected all
the farmers of the county will be
represented. There is no doubt
but that the farmers want a chance
to look over everything that has
happened in the courthouse in the
past, but there are folks in the city
who are not half as anxious that
they get this chance.

ANOTHER FACES

Oscar Lingquist will be arraign
ed for murder before Judge Mann
Monday. Prosecuting Attorney
Fred c. Pugh examined Lingquist
arrested for the murder of the Fin.
lander, Victor Ilkka, at some
length yesterday afternoon at pc.
lice headquarters with a view of
determining the eaxct facts con-
nected with the killing in order
that the proper degree of murder
could be charged
Lingquist was very reticent and
refused to make any admissions in
connection with the crime. The
crime at first investigation had all
the appearances of a cold blooded,
brutal murder, but the prosecutor
was willing, should any mitigating
circumstances be shown, to charge
second degree murder.
There were three eye witnesses
of the crime, all of whom seem to
think the killing was wholly I'M
provoked. On the testimony of
these witnesses Prosecutor Pugh
has concluded to charge Lingquist
with the capital offense.
The Elm bar, where the fatal
fight started, was closed last night
by Chief of Police Sullivan.

This fact worried the glucose

rangements which may soon result
in the establishment of trust candy

These candy stores will probably
all be of the same general pattern

ceny by embezzlement. The decis-
ion was handed own by Judge Mann
this morning after listening to the
case that began in the police court
yesterday morning.
Hand, who was formerly a drug
clerk in the store, admitted to Sup
erintendent Stauffer of the Mer.

proprietor of the store, according to
testimony, that he had pocketed
and spent $3.50, taken in by sales

had taken money at other times. III
summing up the case, Judge Mann
stated that Hand may have made
the confession through the excite

There is talk of filing new in

the case before the grand jury.

has just been tried out was not

SKELETON Of
WHITE SLAVE

Another one of the supposed
crimes of Leon Caron, one of the
vilest French parasites ever known
to Spokane, is believed to have
been unearthed in the discovery of
womans skeleton beneath a resi-
dence at S14 Jefferson street. The
bones are believed to be those of
Therasa Martini, one of Caron's
white slaves of his earliest impor-
tations.
1t is known that Caron kept his
slaves In the old dive district OF
which this residence used to COM
prise a part. Theresa Martini re-
fused to bow to Caron's yoke of
morality and suddenly disappear
ed. Though it caused some specu-
lative talk at the time, noone ever
bothered to investigate to to where
she had gone.
The moldering bones of wom-
an, near which lay common case
knife, sharpened like a dirk, were
found under this house by Olaf
Johnson while trying to chase a
cat from under the floor.
Caron and his companion, known
as Lucy Caron, were both sent to
McNeils island in November, 1908,
from Spokane for importing wom-
en- for immoral purposes, and Ca
ron died there before his sentence
expired.

BAN FRANCISCO. June g.
France today paid national tribute
to the new San Francisco when
Ambassador Jean Jules Jusserand,
in behalf of the people of the
French republic, presented to this
city medal commemorative of
the determination and courage that
mas erected another and greater
city from the ruins left in the
wake of the earthquake and fire

mony, the formal presentation of
the memorial was made upon the

by an all devastating fire that
ragged for the greater part of three
days, sweeping over the heart of
the city, along the waterfront and
into the residence districts in the
hills. Thousands were made home
less: other thousands lost their
every penny. Predictions were
general that if the city was ever
rebuilt 1t never again would ap-
proximate the size and Importance
in the commercial world it had at
tanned before the terrible disaster.
The following table illustrates
what San Francisco has accom-
plished in the short space of three
years:
New buildings erected, 10000.
Valve of new buildings, $685.
000, 900.
Rehabilitation CT public utilities,
