EATS BY HIMSELF.
Ever Since End of Civil War a
Man Has Done This,

J. F. Aylor, sixty-nine years old,
has not eaten from table or sat down
to meal with any other person since
the close of the civil war in 1865. This
remarkable circumstance was revealed
when Aylor and his son, both living
in Houston county, Ca, were before
Federal Judge Speer at Macon, Ga,
charged with selling liquor.
The elder Aylor had a knapsack
slung across his shoulders and in it.,
he said, we're provisions enough to
last him until his case was disposed
of. He gave no reason for his pecu
liar conduct.

HUSBAND AND
WIFE ATTACKED
Couple Assaulted Upon Street
at Dallas.
HIT WITH COUPLING PIN
Occurred Almost Under an Arc.
Light and the Man Badly Hurt,
Both of the Parties Being Struck
Over the Head.

En- route home at Dallas Otto Kalk-
and wife were accosted by two men
and each hit over the head with a
coupling pin. Mr., Kalkhoff's skull
was fractured and physicians pro
nounced his condition critical. He was
struck several times.
His wife, who was not hurt serious
ly, says that just as they passed the
two men ore of them struck her with
coupling pin, while the other struck
her husband several times, each using
a coupling pin. She says crowd
gathered and took them home. The
man was conscious until he reached
home, when he fell insensible upon q
bed.
No reason is known for the action
of the two meu. In the opinion OF
officers robbery was not the motive.
This is borne out by the fact that on
neighbors being attracted to the scene
no one was seen to run fromthe vicin-
ity and still no effort had been made
to rob eithe. the man or the woman.
The parties would have had sufficient
time to hav robbed the couple had
they so desired.

Hired TO Kill.

That the shooting ARRAY at Dallas
in which FIVE peace officers were more
or less seriously wounded was a plan
of assassination is the theory of Sher-
if Brandenberg of Dallas. He says
he has not the slightest doubt in this
connection. The white man who was
arrested was discharged. Eleven white
men arrested in saloon near scene
of shooting shortly after it occurred
gave bond. Charges of vagrancy were
preferred against them.

SEEKING 4 PARDON FOR HENRY
SIBI .EY.

4 petition seeking the pardon of Hem
II sibley, who murdered DR. White on
Texas street less than tuo years ago,
has been submitted TO the Board of Par
don
The Caucasian has no knowledge of
the reasons advanced for this pardon,
but TO liberate Sibley from the peniten-
tiary would be a nocIery Of justice.
Sibley was ably defended and had a
strictly fair trial. Indeed, he escaped
lightly when his crime and the delibera-
ton with which It was perpetrated is
considered
The ready pardon of criminals is a
reflection Of discfedit on the State. A
pardon may be granted sometimes, when
such an act of leniency is justified by
the development Of facts which were
not obtainable at the trial, but this can
not be applied il the Sibley case.
