pressure back of this flow of gas.
Boring in this well was prosecuted
to a depth of 1910 feet and a heavy
flow of water was discovered. but at
the same time the gas could not be
entirely eliminated. so strong was II
at the SO4 depth.
The Caswell well was cased for
four or five hundred feet and then
sealed. 1t ought to be in fair condi-
tion today.
A well was bored down near the
Fruit Growers association buildings,
and it was generally kpown as the
Col Ketchum well. In this well a
rather heavy flow of gas was encoun-
tered at the very shallow depth of II 8
feet. This gas was lighted and it
burned to a heighth of twenty or
thirty feet for more than year, Le-
fore 1t was put out.
All of these things prove most con-
clusively that underlying this entire
basin there is heavy deposit of gas
, that ought at some future time be
utilized for manufactures and other
commercial purposes.
We have not gone into the matter
of oil discoveries, but II is generally
well known that at two places in the
DeBeque oil district very considera-
BILE flows of oil were obtained with a
heavy paraffine base.
The Sentinel merely points facts
out to show that we are sleeping upon
some important possibilities. Mr..
Benton Canon and Mr. Frank Smith
are men who believe that we should
undertake some considerable develop
ment work, as every indication points
to vast bodies of both oil and gas

GETS TWO NEW BIBLES.
Calf Ate Judge Parker's Old One
While He Was in Church.

w iilld 1lc W ttS III SuuTCls
Judge T. A. Parker of the Way
cross circuit has been presented with
two handsome Bibles recently to take
the place of one which he lost I'M
der somewhat peculiar circumstances.
Judge Parker is a we'll known
church and Sunday school worker.
and is as noted for his knowledge
of the Bible as he is for his legal
attainments. Some weeks ago the
judge went to Sunday school, and
on returning home left his Bible in
his buggy in the lot. An inuuisitive
calf, bent either on acquiring bibli-
cal lore in the mass or on satisfying
too voracious appetite, found the
volume and ate it up. The story
got out on the judge, and as result
several of his friends have supplied
his need along this line. Mr.. V.
l.. Stanton and DR.. J. l.. Walker of
Waycross have each presented Judge
Parker with a Bible to take the place
of the one he has lost.

Question of Truth-TeIling.

Il am not going to accept what
the gentleman from New York has
said to this house as gospel eX-
claimed Mr.. Macon.
1T is a question of veracity, and
one of these gentlemen has as much
credence on the part of this house
as the other until one of the other
shows himself to be a liar and the
other shows himself to be a saint
and the gentleman from New York
is not saint.
MI Macon admitted that Mr.. Pat
ten was his informant, following a
statement by Mr.. Bennett that he be-
lieyed he had given the member from
Arkansas the information. Mr.. Ma
con explained that Mr. Patten was
a son-in-law of a deceased member
of the commission, and was in a posi-
ton to know.
Il am not here to take back any
part of my statement that the trip
abroad was junket as l understand
junket," exclaimed Mr.. Macon.
Thus the incident was closed with
out Mr. Macon having receded from
his position, but not until after Mr..
Mann of Illinois had refused consent

Fred Shelford, an engineer of the
projected African railroad from Ug-

derful soda lake which he discovered
after a most difficult journey over a
waterless country. Shelford says:
Lake Magadi is picturesquely sit
uated between vast mountains. There
were no signs of human life. We
found the water a few inches deep,
covering a hard surface looking like
hard marble This is an immense
deposit of soda, which when bored
was found to extend to a considera-
bic depth, indicating an area of at
least twenty square miles of solid
soda"

ASKS COURT TO HURRY CASE
UNUSUAL PLEA BY LEGISLATOR
UNDER MURDER SENTENCE.
He Expects Special Session to BE
Called, and Wants to Be
a hIa to Serve


Able to Serve.
AUSTIN. Tex.-E. c. Gaines, who
represents Comanche county in the
lower house of the legislature, was
recently tried and convicted of the
murder of j. w. Reese. He was SEN
fenced to three years in the state
penitentiary. Gaines appealed the
case to the court of criminal appeals,
where it is now pending.
Gaines came here a few days ago
and filed a motion before the higher
court asking that the case be ad-
Yanced upon the docket. In arguing
this motion Gaines stated to the court
that the governor will probably call
a special session of the legislature
some time during the present year,
and that if final action in his favor
is not taken on the case he will be
debarred from serving in that body.
The court has overruled this motion,
holding that the defendant in the
case is out on bond, while there are
many cases before the court where
the defendants are in jail, and that
each case should receive cOnsidera-
ton in it's turn
The killing of Reese by Gaines was
the result of a political campaign.
Gaines had served one term in the
legislature and was a candidate for
a second nomination Mr.. Reese was
his opponent. Gaines was the lead
er in the house against the re-elec-
ton of j. w Bailey to the United
States senate. His attacks upon
Bailey in his speeches on the floor
of the legislature were characterized
by bitterness.
Elected After Killing Opponent.
When the time came for him to
seek a second term the supporters
of Bailey in the COmanche district
set out to defeat him. Reese was
selected by the Bailey faction of the
Democratic party and Baileyism was
made the overshadOwing issue of the
campaign for nomination. The two
candidates became personal enemies,
and as the campaign progressed this
feeling of hatred toward each other
became intensified. 1t ended in
Gaines meeting his adversary upon
the street and killing him.
Owing to Gaines prominence in
democratic circles of the state the
tragedy became of statewide promi-
nence. He continued his campaign
for the Legislature, and was nomi-
mated and reelected. 1t was not un-
til after he had served the second
term as a member of the house that
he was indicted for the killing of
Reese. He was tried in Hood county
Gaines is a ready debater, and his
influence upon legislation was strong
ly felt at the last two sessions of
the law-making body. He is strong
ly opposed to all semblance of shams
and pretences. He takes the keen
est delight in attacking whatever he
may think smacks of political dem
agoguery. He is only 33 years old.
He was born and reared in the ranch
region of Texas.

resigned manner, as he described
how friends and neighbors had
turned from him.

execute the man, lost his head at

common sense enough to see that

most forgot my own first name
People spoke of me through all of
the south. But none of them re-
garded the humanitarian phase of
my work, and all of them seemed
to regard me as a cold-blooded muir

''Of late years l have been called

Johnson paused for a moment or
two and the chant of the litany be-

his priest in the condemned cell on
the top floor of the prison could be
heard in the yard where Johnson
stood, just at the foot of the gal

The Short and Ugly Word.

Mr.. Macon explained that he mere
ly wanted to correct the bad English,
but Mr.. Mann retorted that it was
unnecessary to obtain consent for
that purpose, and both parties to the
controversy would have to go on rec
ord for what they had said
1t was thought for a time that Mr.
Mann's statement indicated that Mr.
Macon might be called to account for
the rule committee for using unpar-
liamentary language toward a fell
low member of the house, but it soon
developed that there was no such in
tention. 1t was argued that Mr. Ma
con had not called Mr.. Bennett a
liar" as some members had con-
strued from his remarks.
Mr.. Bennett made a general denial
of the charges voiced by Mr. Macon
during his absence yesterday and as
serted that the member from Arkan-
sas had made them without taking
the trouble to ascertain if they were
true.
