TOUCHED OFF THE BOMB /
Federal Officers Afraid to Keep the
Internal Machine Found In the |.
& G. N. Depot at San Antonio.

San Antonio, Texas, Sept. 1O.-A
number of federal officials went out
to Henry Terrell's pasture, several
miles north of this city, today and
touched off the bomb which was dis
covered a few days ago in the Inter
national and. Great Northern freight
depot The officers were afraid to
keep the bomb in the vault of the fed
eral building and took this method of
getting rid of it. After the explosion
the ground for thirty feet around
where the bomb had been was cover
ed with flames, caused by the burning
of kind of grease. This leads to
the belief that the bomb was intended
to be used in crowd, as the burn
ing grease would start a panic and
the heavy smoke would allow those

The bomb did not tear large hole
in the ground, nor was the noise of
the explosion very loud. The officers
who are working on the case have not
yet found any clue to the shipper of
the box containing the bomb

WORK STARTED ON DAM
i. & G. N. Will Build Reservoir at
Taylor Covering Seventeen Acres.
Material For Work on Hand.

Taylor, Texas, Sept. 1O.-The first
installment of material for the Inter-
national and Great Northern Railway
company's big dam arrived last night.
The dam will be constructed south of
Flag Springs, on the Hoxie San Ga
briel ranch, three-quarters of mile
east of Taylor The consignment con-
sisted of a train load of eighteen cars
of gravel, which were today unloaded.
The dam will form a reservoir cover
ing seventeen acres of land, which
will supply the company's shops,
round house and motive departments
at Taylor with water The peculiar
altitude of the springs and the topog-
raphy of the country between Taylor
and the springs will permit of water
being piped into the Taylor yards
without pressure. The immense dam
and watershed will forever settle the
water proposition in Taylor, an abun-
dant supply being assured from those
never-failing springs. Chief Engineer
o. H. Crittenden of Palestine is ex-
pected here Monday to begin the in
itial work on the company's big dam
and reservoir.

LOST FOOT WILLG.
That Is the Prediction of Receiver T.
j. Freeman of the |. & c. N. as
to the Texas Cotton Crop.

Houston, Texas, Sept 10.-A cotton
crop of 3,250,OO0 bales for Texas in
stead of the 100000 bale crop, that
is the general estimate which was
predicted by Judge T. ]. Freeman re
ceiver of the International and Great
Northern, on Friday before he left for
New York.
Judge Freeman bases his prediction
on several theories. One is the re-
port from Austin that the ginning re-
ports are only 5000 bales behind what
they were this time last year. An
other is the greatly increased acreage
of cotton in the Panhandle, especially
on the line of the Fort Worth and
Denver, which he has recently gone
over, and the final fact that the cot
ton crop is all late this Year
Comparisons were made with the
crops and prices of former years.
Judge Freeman said: 1.-The bumper
crop of cotton for the state was made
in 1894, when 100000 bales were
raised The price then was only sc,
and even less. I remember, because
the road 1 then represented had to
pay for 10000 bales of it destroyed
by fire in New Orleans. The crop of
the present year is bringing close to
lac. If it should be only a 100000
bale crop it would be the equivalent
at the prices of a 100000 bale crop
of &c cotton. Not only that, when
smaller crop brings better prices the
farmer saves a big lot in operating
expenses and nobody is hurt but the
railroads that have less cotton to
haul. In my judgment all over the
country crops are simply thirty days
late. l am no bear as to the amount
of the cotton crop. 1t has been my
experience that if cotton is not ac-
tually killed by August II, then we
have a big crop. North of the Texas
& Pacific line, especially on the Fort
Worth and Denver, there is a larger
acreage and a better crop than ever
before"
Despite his prediction of a large
crop, Judge Freeman does not believe
hat there will be any shortage of
.reight cars this year.
