Sadie's Last Resort.

Sadie, aged three, who had been
put to bed for an afternoon nap, felt
more inclined for play than Sleep
But her nurse, coaxed back twice on
some pretext, had requested to return
again. Resentfully she thought OF
baby brother in the next room. AT
the slightest sound from him some
always hurried to the nursery. The
next instant she slipped out of bed
and opened the door of the adjoining
room.
A minute later both mother and
nurse, aroused by piercing walls,
rushed upstairs to see what was the
matter The baby, his little face
screwed into knot, lay in his crib,
exercising his lungs to their utmost
capacity. Beside him stood his small
sister.
81 thought you'd come," she de-
clared, wicked CLEAN of satisfac-
tion in her eyes.
"Sadie," demanded her mother,
what have you been doing to Rob-
ert?"
sI pinched him!" was the surpris-
ing answer.-Lippincott's.

MYsTERIOUsLY MURDERED.
Tom Carson, Greenville Negro, Found
Dead in Woods.

The body of Tom Carson, hard
working negro, was found IN the
woods in Can't township yesterday
morning. A gun shot wound in the
abdomen told how the man had died.
From what can be learned of the
mystery, it appears there exists a
feud among the colored people of
that neighborhood, this being the
second killing within the week. The
row started last Sunday at a camp
meeting at Mount Pleasant church,
when the negro who was found dead
yesterday accidentally stepped on
the toes of a negro woman.
Carson quickly apelogized to the
the negroes generally, it is under
stood, resulting in the killing of Pies
Maze; for which crime three negroes,
Dave Durham, P. Rodgers and Alfred
Sherman, are now in Jail, having
been arrested and brought to the city
Monday by Deputy Sheriffs Huntsing-
er and Green.
Thursday afternoon Carson told
his people he was going in the woods
to shoot squirrels, taking with him a
single-barrel shotgun. This was the
last his people saw of him alive. The
body was found early Friday morning
by some passers by in the woods, and
the coroner was summoned.
When Coroner Batson reached the
scene, he found the body Of Carson
lying on the ground partially strip
ped, his hat, coat and shoes lying on
the ground nearby. The gun was
resting near a stump sixty yards
away with a forked stick aimed at
the trigger, with the evident purpose
of leaving the impression that Car
son had committed suicide. This
theory was dispelled as quickly as
advanced, by the fact while man
shot with a death wound in the alb
domeh might be able to take off his
coat, he would hardly be able to re-
move his shoes. This idea was ad-
vanced by DR.. Hendrix, the coroner's
physician, who examined the body
and was questioned by the jury.
The coroner's jury examined a
number of witnesses, but no trace
of the murderer of Carson could be
determined, and the verdict reads,
THAT Tom Carson came to his death
at hands unknown to the jury"
The killing occurred about two
miles from the church where the row
started last Sunday, and the theory
is advanced that some negro with
the spirit of the vendetta ranking in
him laid in the woods waiting his
chance to kill Carson.-Greenville

This contractor pot results.

Some years ago contractor build.
ing railroad in warm climate was
troubled a great deal by sickness
among the laborers.
He turned his attention at once to
their food and found that they were
getting full rations of meat and were
drinking water from stream near by.
He issued orders to cut down the
amount OF meat and to increase greatly
the quantity of Quaker Oats fed to the
men.
He also boiled Quaker Oats and
mixed the thin oatmeal water with
their drinking water. Almost instantly
all signs of stomach disorders passed
and men showed a decided improve
ment in strength and spirits. This con-
tractor had experience that taught him
the great value of good oatmeal. s.

DRIVE NEGROES OUT.
Whites of Coleman, Tex, Eliminate
Black Population.

Coleman, Tex, April 24.-Twelve
negroes were badly beaten, one white
mar was seriously injured and the
entire negro population OF Coleman'
between $50 and 200 men, women
and children, driven out of town, as
the result of race riots which occur
red here at / o'clock this afternoon
and ragged until far into the night:
That many jersons were not killed
or seriously wounded is due to the
fact that the negroes offered no re-
sistance except in isolated cases ana
the whites contented themselves with
usinp clubs, sticks and stones instead
of firearms.
Until the Santa Fe railroad begun
using negro laborers on construction
work in this section, black race was
q rarity and trouble had been brew
ing ever since negroes in consider
able numbers began coming to town.
This feeling has been greatly in
tensified recently by alleged lnham-
matory utterances of negro leaders
who asserted that they were mere
and here to stay.
With this feeling of hostility exist
ing, it needed but spark to start
trouble, and this spark was turnlsn-
ed this afternoon. when two Whlte
youths became involved in hgnt
with a negro. In a short time MOB
Of more than a thousand men and
bows were sweeping through the
section of the town occupied by the
negroes, clubbing and stoning every
black that appeared. -, ,
Mayor Miller begged and PLEADED
and threatened the mob but MS
words fell on deaf ears.
Equally impotent were the efforts
OF the marshal and his deputies to
check the riotous spirit. For several
hours the - mob maintained lts
strength and in that time every sec
ton of the city was raided as with
a fine tooth comb for negroes. The
latter fed in every direction. The
very bulk of the mob was a factor IN
favor of the negroes, as pursuit was
hampered by numbers, not more than
= dozen of the fleeing blacks being
eyertaken. At 9 o'clock tonight
VIXEN not a negro remained in the
town the mob dispersed, and it is
believed there will be No further
trouble.
An old negro preacher, who is al
legged to have made himself partlcu-
Jsrly obnoxious, is being pursued in
the hills by a small party of whites,
after having escaped the mob by a
narrow margin. The wounded white
man, w. L. Trim BILE, received severe
cuts and bruises about the head, but
he is not believed to be seriously
hurt.

PROGRESS IN RIVER DISTRICT.

A remarkable era of development is in progress on the Yuma Indian Res ervation lands, along the Colorado river, in Imperial County, on the farm units allotted last spring to settlers. More than 2000 acres of land have been cleared of the dense growth of willows, cottonwood and underbrush. and work is in progress on leveling and bordering for irrigation. About 300 acres of land is in crop. On near ly every farm unit settlers are now permanently located. The town of Bard on the reservation, is becoming an important trading point. The Bard school district has been formed and school is maintained.

STORM DAMAGES CANALS
sardonic Nature Furnishes Object
 Lesson to Optimistic Experts.

Last Sunday a heavy storm broke over parts of Imperial Valley, and the rush of storm water down the slopes on the east and west sides carried out sections of the west side canal and number fve's main. The headgates of the mains were closed, and word was sent to ranchers to provide them selves with stock water before the mains should be drained for repairs.
 "Experts' had testified in the rate hearing that it was not necessary to provide for meeting such emergencies because there was no likelihood of the occurrence of damaging storms in the valley. Even while they were swear ing that wooden structures were in- destructible, one of the wooden gates on the east side collapsed and was carried out.
