Mr.. Willett here quoted from
President Roosevelt's books, in
which the President is alleged to
have attacked Washington, jeff

the President had tolerance only
for the Adamses who stood for
federalist aristocracy, and adj
miration for Alexander Hamilton,
the defeated champion of a limit
ed monarchy

enough in abusing other Presi

The Spanish train averages possibly
twenty miles an hour-to allow one to
make time exposures of the scenery
perhaps IT makes frequent and long

run up and down, shouting the name

also the two military guards who ac-
company each train descend and walk
around the cars, looking to see that
no robbers are concealed. As there
is at least one stop an hour these
guards get some exercise before the

adopted to drive away any brigands
who might be concealed in or under

YOUNG MAN SERIOUSLY. INJURED
Oscar Dunlap Caught Under Auto
mobile When 1t Turns Over.

Caught under a big automobile
when the machine turned over at
sharp curve in a road a few miles
south of Corsicana late Sunday az
ternoon Oscar Dunlap, Jr., of Waxa-
hachie, son of Judge and Mrs. o. E.
Dunlap, sustained injuries which in
all probability will cost him his life
He was crushed under the steering
apparatus of the machine. Three
ribs were broken and both lungs
were punctured by the fractured
bones. The young mans condition is
extremely critical and attending ply
sicians hold out little hope for his
a few friends are with him and to
them he has expressed the belief
that he cannot survive the injuries.
Young Dunlap and Felix Erwin
left Waxahachie Sunday afternoon
in a Marion Flyer for a run to Cor
scana and return. Reaching that

ed out the road south of town for a
demonstration run. Oscar was driv-
ing the machine at a high rate of
speed, which he attempted to reduce
when a sharp curve was observed
short distance ahead. In trying to
S1nu it iS coj6 no no low
er in the wrong direction and thus
increased the speed of the car. 1t is
said that he then lost control of the
machine which shot around the
curve at almost full speed. 1t ran a
short distance on two wheels and
then turned turtle nnd rolled over
two or three times. Young Dunlap
was caught under the steering wheel
while the other occupants of the
machine were hurled distance of
about forty feet DR.. Jester and the
other Corsicana man escaped unhurt
but young Erwin sustained sprain

Dunlap and emergency treatment
was rendered by DR.. Jester 1t is
probably due to this fact that he
did not die at the scene of the ac-
cident AS soon as conveyance
could be secured he was taken to the
hospital at Corsicana and placed I'M

friend of the family, was called to
the assistance of the Corsicana ply

We're at once notified of the accident
and they left on the 9 O'Clock train
Sunday night for Corsicana. Some
of his young men friends went to
his bedside Monday morning
The young man was born and
reared in Waxahachie and has many
friends here who will regret to learn
of his serious injuries. 1t is said the
accident is attributed TO the fact that
the construction of the speed gear
driving was just the reverse to the
gearing of the Overland car that he
was accustomed to handling. In at
tempting to set the gearing to reduce
the speed so it is said, he showed
the lever in the direction which in
creased the momentum of the car.
