try to stop any trains that might be
here, went himself on the east side to
flag westbound trains, and sent negro
on the west side to stop eastbound
trains. The negro who went to flag
the freight, which went down. made a
signal with his latern. Whether the
engineer did not see it or thought it
was some one just waving at him can
not be known until he himself can ex-

and striking the burning part went

1000 feet in length. In the lot of %
cars which went down in a heap were
two cars of cottonseed oil All the
wreckage caught fire from the burning
trestle and the whole mass has been
burning fiercely all day. A novel way
of using a hose on this fire was decid

department was secured and attached
to tender of an engine, which was
run out over the trestle. AS soon as
the tender ran dry the engine would
be taken back to the nearest water
tank and filled up again.
Two car lots of meat in the wreckage
gave odor and good fuel while the fire
lasted.

wreck today, six miles away. 1t is the

TEXAS COAL AREA
BIC As MISSOURI
Estimate Total Fuel Supply of
Lone Star State at $1,000
100000 Tons

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Dec. 10.-Stg-
nifieant figures which go to show that
so far as Texas is concerned there IS
little fear of eXhausting her natural
resources for many generations to
come have been issued by DR.. William
D. Phillips, director of the bureau of
economic geology of the University of
Texas.
In a statement of the coal resources
of this state he says: THE latest
estimate of the original supply of
bituminous coal in Texas shows that
we have 100000 900 tons and of Ignite
23, 900 0000 600 tons, or a total fuel sup
ply of 81 900, 900 900 tons. IF we allow
that each ton of fuel mined represents
a loss Of one and one-half tons, the
loss Of coal and Ignite is 27,299,9 1916
tons. an insignificant proportion of the
original supply. During the last twen-
ty-six years the loss of fuel has been
so small compared with the original
supply, as to be quite negligible in
any estimates affecting the situation.
The workable coal area may be taken
as 5000 square miles, with an addi-
tional area Of $500 square miles that
may contain workable seams.
"Since the year 1884 the production
of coal and Ignite in Texas has been
1S199.5S4 tons. Since that time the
production of coal has been 10767,S66
tons. valued at Sc2,596,544, or an aver
age of about $40 a ton at the mines.
During the same period the produc-
ton of Ignite has been 5,4SS,21S tons.
valued at S4,767, $50, or an average or
IS cents ton at the mines. During
these fifteen years the production of
coal has increased so that for each
ton mined in 1895 there were 3.17 tons
mined in 1909 In the year 1905 the
average value of the coal mined was
s2.a2 and in 1909 S2.97.
1.-THE production Of Ignite increased
much more rapidly than that Of coal.
For each ton of Ignite mined in 1895
there were mined AIS tons in 1909, the
value per ton for the respective years
being 30 cents and S2.S cents"
The workable Ignite area is given as
6S. 800 square miles. The coal and lig-
mite area in Texas, proved and prob
able, is almost as large as the entire
state of Missouri.

BARBER FLEES FROM BATTLE

BERLIN, Dee. 10.-A baron and a
bank clerk fought duel this week
which was none the less furious in
consequence of Its complete disregard
for the elaborate prescriptions of the
code of honor, and perhaps through
it's very tempestuousness and infor-
mality fortunately proved bloodless, in
spite of the unusual number of shots
exchanged. The affair took the bank
clerk by surprise as he was reclining
in an easy chair in his bedroom In
west end Berlin fat being shaved by
one of the assistants from a neighbor-
ing BARRIERS shop.
Suddenly the smooth progress Of the
razor over his chin was checked by a
vigorous rafting at the handle Of the
locked door that led to an adjoining
apartment and peremptory demands
for admittance, coupled with threat
that the intruder would shoot unless
his wishes were instantly compiled
with. The bank clerk seems to be a
man of nerve, for he was not at all
disconnected by this menacing invasion
of his domestic peace. He replied
coolly that he, too, had revolver at
hand, and if it came to a question of
shooting would probably prove to be
the better marksman of the two. To
this defiance he added an inquiry as
to who the stranger was and what his
business might be.
The intruder then announced himself
as Baron Won E., eX-cavalry officer,
and said that he had come to reclaim
"a young woman who had formerly act
ed as his houSekeeper and had left his
service to enter that of the bank clerk
in a similar capacity.
To this the lady's new employer re-
sponded that his interest in her was
not of a nature to justify him in en-
barking on an affair of bonor on her
account, and he called upon the in
furiated baron to leave the premises
without delay. AS the latter's only re-
sponse was a renewed effort to get at
his supposed rival the clerk flung open
the door and commenced the combat
with a shot from his revolver. His
fire was promptly returnedf and ex-
changes followed one another in quick
succession.
Meanwhile the terrified barber had
managed to dodge through the shower
of bullets and slip out into the street,
where his shouts of "Murderi" soon
brought the police to the spot. When
they entered the fiat where the duel
had taken place they found the two
adversaries facing one another with
still smoking revolvers in their hands,
and apparently only prevented from
continuing their combat to the death
by the fact that both had expended all
their available ammunition. They
were led away to the nearest police
station to be examined as to their re-
sponsibility in the strange affair.

GIRLS YEARN FOR
TEXAS COWBOYS
Governors Mail Is Flooded with
Letters from Women Who
Want Simple Life
Especial to The Herald

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Dec. 10
Maidens from New York to Portland
oregon, and from Chicago to Kansas
CitV and st. Louis, are begging lot
Texas cowboys for husbands. Inc mail
of Governor Cambpel at Austin, ana
of Postmaster Stevens at San Antonio
is growing heavier daily with appli-
cations. many of them accompanied by
photographs, from women of all ages
who want to live on the plains,
care free and healthy life, away from
the conventionaliries and superficial
tiles of the great cities" So great mas
become this flood of requests that sew
eraI Texas cities are beginning to SIT
up and take notice.
The Beaumont chamber of commerce
offers to furnish rice, free of charge,
to shower Texas brides; justice or
the peace in Van Zandt county offers
TO perform the mearriage ceremony
free of charge to couples settling IN
that county. The Texas Commercial
Secretaries association has prepared
data proving conclusively that a mar
ried couple in Texas can live cheaper
than one single person, and some one
should have smooth sailing in the
Lone Star state if some one will fur
nish the wedding raiment. By corre-
spondence with the San Antonio post
master, or the governor of the state,
any bachelors in Texas can probably
find their afIinities very easily.
LACK OF CITY MANHOOD
There are photographs by the hun
dreds, and both offices resemble mat
rimonial bureaus. In one days mail
there are letters from Maine, Rhode
Island, Connecticut Iowa, ILLINOIS,
Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey,
Massachusetts and Ohio. One young
woman declares that "the men of Phil
adelphia are too fast and l want to
marry only a genuine man, one not
vitiated by the life of this terrible
city" Another wants a cowboy nus
band, and says she is a natural blonde,
with a loving disposition, a jolly girl
of twenty-seven." Another desires "a
real Texas man, at least six feet tall
weighing two hundred pounds, with
regular features and smooth shaven
face who does not smoke or chew to-
bacco."
One young woman from Boston
writes in heavy cream colored paper
to the governor saying; "You may
think this is an act of a foolish girl,
but If you knew how few the chances
are for a girl In New England to
marry the man with whom her heart
tells her she would be happy-in other
words, if you could realize the deplor-
able lack here of real manhood still
single-you would understand the rea-
son. The man Of my choice need not
be too well educated but he must be
a man, ready to do and dare at all
times, this daring to be based on good
judgment. He must have lived always
in the open, and be able to appreciate
the passages I would read him from
Robert Louis Stevenson. He must be
young. and a man who can laugh on
the bizzardy gray and chilly days
while rounding up his cattle, as well
as in the soft southern moonlight,
when the Gulf breeze makes to nod
the roses Of romance"

conformity with the new census VIII
he one of the most important measures

"If state public service corpora
ton is organized, one Of the most del
icate questions to be decided is to
what extent such a commisoin should

ties. But any intelligent investiga-
tion OF the matter of rates for some
of these concerns involves more COM
