THROUGH MORNING SER
VICE TO PORTLAND

Beginning Sunday Southern Ore
gon people are given a daily morning
local passenger train that runs
through to Portland. That is, train
No. is, known as the Roseburg local,
which formerly left here at S:42 a.
m, and ran to Roseburg, where after
nights layoyer another train could
be taken and the journey to the me-
tropolis thus completed, now leaves
here at 9:10 a. m, and reaches
Portland at 10;4O p. m. the same
day. With this change, the people
of this section now have all that
could be desired in the way of train
service on the Southern Pacific and
the management of the Oregon lines
of this company have shown that
they are alive to the interest of its
patrons, Four daily passenger
trains each way per day is a good
indication Of the development of the
Oregon country the past few years,
as II Is not so many years ago that
a single passenger train each way
per day, sufficed to handle both the
local and the through business.

DefieS Populacc.

Driving his family away from
home and barring tae doors of his
house Gilbert DevereuX, negro,
held the entire populace of the town
of Boyce in defiance for two or three
hours Wednesday night. 1t was re-
ported that the negro was armed
with a gun and for this reason the
citizens of Boyce did not feel war
ranted in attempting to molest him
unless armed with the proper au-
thority. The situation was explained
TO Sheriff Forbes over the telephone
and he left here for the scene of
trouble about II O'Clock. Arriving
at Bovce the sheriff found that some
little excitement had been created
by the actions of the negro. Nhen
shown the house Sheriff Forbes de-
manded admittance but received no
response from within. He raped on
the door several times and called TO
tha negro TO come out and surren-
der. Receiving no answer to these
repeated demands Sheriff Forbes
kicked the door down and after
lighting a match he found DeVereuN
living PROSTATE on the floor. He was
brought to Waxahachie and placed
in the county jail.
