Man Seeking Street Car Franchise Did
Not Come Back-A Car Line Is
Badly Needed.

1t was announced through the Her
aid 2 few weeks AGO that the citv onT,5:
missioners had agreed to give to a
certain gentleman a street car fran
chise, and the details were all worked
out, but-the gentleman left the city,
stating that he would be back in a
few days to close up the detail, put
up check for a certified amount as
an evidence of good faith, and then
get busy within ninety days in the
actual work of constructing a street
car line So, like Jim Jeffries, he
failed to come back
In the meantime the city stands in
need of a good street car line, and
the franchise is here awaiting the man
or set of men who will come across
and build. 1t will not be many years,
if not now, when the franchise will
be a valuable one Constructed and
operated along proper lines it could
be made to pay right now, and Pales-
tine is growing.

KILLED BY SHOCK.
Joe Westmoreland, a Prisoner In the
Paris Jail, Was EIectrocuted.

Paris, Texas, July 8.-Joe West
moreland, IS years of age, charged
with assault to kill, was instantly
killed by an electric shock in the
county Jail at o'clock this after
noon. The boy was in his bare feet,
standing on an iron floor in the run
around, and while leaning against the
wall of a cell, talking to a prisoner,
he reached his hand through to toy
with an incandescent drop light, the
cord of which rested on an iron bar.
He caught hold of the brass socket,
and was instantly knocked back
against the railing of the runaround,
still clutching the wire, with his jaws
glittered with electric fire and quiv-
cred. The prisoners in the cell gave
the alarm and Mr.. Green, the turnkey
ran forward and caught the boys
clothing in both hands and jerked him
loose. He was knocked down by the
shock, { but not hurt. Young West
moreland was killed instantly. His
hands were burned black and the skin
burst The accident is thought to
have been due to the insulation cord
having been worn or torn away at
some point, causing the wire to
ground
