COMES HIGH
$3.50 TO RECEIVE A Rat
TED CRANIUM AND
$21.65 TO GIVE
SAME.
Jerry Hines and Philip Hinkle
Are Heavily Fined for Dis
graceful Fight, Which
Occurred Sunday.

According to Justice of the
Peace w. f. Young, it is worth
S22.60 for the fun of receiving a
cracked head, and for the pleas
ure OF administering the same
to another is in the value OF $21.-
90. Anyway those are the fines
which Jerry Hines and Phillip
f1inkle drew respectively, at
their hearing at seven o'clock
.londay night 10. the disgraceirI
fight in which they engaged on
Sunday afternoon. Both made
arrangements for paying the
fines. The men each entered
a plea OF guilty to the charge oi
assault and battery, and they each
received a fine of $40 and costs
amounting to the above.
The fight occurred in front OF
the Kruger soft drink emporium
on north Michigan street, at
about three o'clock Sunday al
ternoon. The evidence present
ed last evening by witnesses to
the affray, showed that Hines
became disorderly and profane
while in the Kruger room and
started to run things, when Philip

charge of the business, proceed
ed TO throw Hines out, admin
isterinlg light cfastisement in so

an act of assault and battery.
Had Hinkle remained in the
room and fought off Hines from
there he would not have been
guilty OF amy offense. Hinkle
was OF the opinion that he was
doing the right thing, in rro-
tecting the place, in winch he
was charge, from destruction by
the drunken Hines. Witnesses
who were near the scene of the

"Remarking how smoothly the
machine was running, Lambert
finding nice stretch OF track,
speeded little on the trip to the

road track a freight train pull

be little necessity to look for

the track with only ordinary care.
Gliding up onto the crossing my
first iritimation OF ANY danger
was a scream OF one of THE girls

collision had thrown ON the brake

the discovery of the approach

more money on cotton bills of lading
and the news created CONSERVATION
among the bankers and cotton grow
ers OF North Texas.
The action is said to be due to the
failure of Knight. Yancey & Company

for the acts of agents and not depend

Another proposed remedy is a change
in the antitrust statute of Texas to
enable the surety companies to COM

ance on bills of laGings.

MANY LOWLANDS IN THE VALLEY

Alabama, Georgia and the CaroIinas
See Improvement - Reports From
Oklahoma Brilliant.

Memphis. Tenn.-There was an I'M
in the cotton crop during
the week in Alabama and states east
ward in Texas and Oklahoma. Else
where little or nothing was gained be-
cause showers were general and kept
labor from the fields for the greater
part of the time. 1t seems certain
that in the valley states many low
lands can never be redeemed from the
grass. In Mississippi some OF the Dot
toms are still under water, which Is
,~receding very slowly.
; The great need OF the crop in the
central and eastern belts is cultiva-
ton. There are a few localities that
have not suffered severely either be
cause the lands were unusually well
drained or because rains were not eX'
cessive, but as a rule all the territory
cast of Texas and Oklahoma a beer
seriously damaged. For the crop &c
recover, dry weather is necessary. Inc
plant is late and has not set fruit as
usual at this date.
Within the past four weeks North
Carolina and Tennessee have suffered
less than other states east of the Mis-
sissippi river. Reports from Okla
homa are brilliant and good from
Texas except in the southwest, where
rain is beginning to be needed, the re
cent showers having failed to reacf
that section of the state.
