Ernest Albert Brock, son OF Mr..

a broken jaw and fracture at the
base of the skull, and a severe jarring
along the spine. He was
born in this county in August, 1888,
and grew to manhood here and his
friends were legion. Besides this

Finds Fortune In Strange Trousers

Anybody who has lost a pair of trous.
ers and 81 100 can recover same by ap-
plying at a Collinsville Bank where the
money has been placed on deposit by the
finder.
The man who found the trousers had
them on at the time, but he is certain
that they do not belong to him. More
over, when he took his trousers of before
going to bed, there was only 10 cents in
change in his pockets. I his much he is
certain Of. During the night he had
occasion to arise and go To the dug store
to secure some toothache medicine for
his wife and when he went to pay the
druggist he found a roll Of money in his
pocket which made him think he had
just returned from log rolling instead
Of from busines trip.
The incident is fraught with consider
able mystery. The gentleman who found
the money is a Coliinsville business inan.
He had been called away on important
business he expected would detain him
for week. but owing to the excellent
progress which he made. he was able to
finish at the end OF the FIRST day II was
late at night when he arrived home, so

enter the city, and it will eventually
be the center of the orange and fig
industry. Monday morning 8 a. m.
we took train Tor Corpus Christi,
via St. Louis, b. & NJ. K. r., skirt
ing the Gulf from 10 to IS miles.
The Gulf can no where be seen, but
we crossed many streams, the water
of which moves very slow on account
of the level country through which
they flow, and some time back water
from the gulf. We lett the train at
Placedo for side tri p to Victoria
and to Port lavaCa. The latter is a
fine seaside resort and beautiful
surrounding country, deep, black,
waxy soil, called hog wallow, but
the whole country, outside the towns,
! is owned by cattle men. This Port
is nice small town of 1000. and is
the best fishing and oyster point on
the gulf. 1t has two large wholesale
houses that handle all the fish and
oysters caught. The day previous
to our visit one party caught in one
haul, with a seine hal' mile long, Q,
$50 lbs. fish. They hitch a small
gasoline tug to each end of the seine.
Victc a is fine city of 5000, a fine
country, well drained land, worth
from $40 to $3.50 per acre.
Our next stop was at Corpus Chris
ii, beautiful city on the bay, a6
miles from the Gulf. The city is full
of hotels and private rooms in resi-
dences, but it is difficult to secure
lodging, as the place is constantly
filled with people from the north,
east and west. The same is true OF
all the gulf cost cities. Nine-tenths
of all the people you meet down
there are from the north, a great
many have six months tourist tickets.
The distance from Houston to Corpus
Christi is about $50 miles, and the
entire distance, with the exception of
the small towns along the road, is
one vast prairie, no farming, except a
little around each small town. The
streams are skirted with timber, and
aside from that, you occasionally see
a ranch house, and you can travel for
miles and miles and see acres and
acres of prairie covered with dead
grass and dotted with hundreds and
hundreds of cattle feeding on the
frozen dead grass at this season of the
year. w. F. luck.
