HOG MARKET DULL
Fewer Hogs Being Raised and Very
Few Being Shipped from
Bryan.

An Eagle reporter asked Mr. W. r.
Cloud of the firm of Cloud q Nicoi
today why there were not more hogs
being shipped from Bryan He stated
there were several reasons, the prin-
Cipal one being that hogs were worth
more in Bryan than in Fort Worth o.
Houston. The dealers could not pay
the price hogs are selling for here,
and ) l-2 cents, and pay freigll on
them to the packeries and make a
cent.
Another reason stated was there are
not as many hogs raised now as few
wears ago. When the boil weevils
were plentiful the farmers diversified
and turned their attention particular
" to hog raising. So much so that
during one of the big hog crop years
more than a hundred carloads of hogs
we're shipped out of Bryan.
A third reason was that the local
markets are butching great many
more hogs than in former years. There
are a great many more people here
and the demand for pork at the mar
kets has doubled within the past two
or three years.

 NOT ANNOUNCED
Delegations in Montgomery Delay Action in Which
 There Is Much Interest

Montgomery, April 20.-CSpecial.) )-Con- trary to expectations, Governor O'Neal did not announce today the members of the office of mine inspectors. Some hitch in the programme necessitated postpone ment of the appointments until later date, probably tomorrow.
 General interest is being manifested in the appointments, inasmuch as the de- partment is one of the most important ones in the state. With a new mining law In excellent shape the duties of the inspectors are all the more pronounced, necessitating close students of all mining business for adequate handling of the of flee Numerous candidates are in the field.
 A number of delegations were in Mont golnery today in interest of the office, the delegations of chief importance being from the counties of Walker and Jeffer- son.

University, April 20.-(Special)-1n the scrappest and most exciting contest or the local season, Alabama grabbed the first game of the series with Vanderbilt by a score of 4 to 2. From the time the first Commodore faced Gresham till the last one was retired excitement ran high, for it was anybodys game. However, tho advantage was with the Crimson ana White all the way through. In the nrst inning Alabama got busy. McDowell, first up beat out an infield hit. The next man up laid one down and Mcdowell raced for third. The first baseman attempting to catch him threw wild, and the speedy Alabamian raced home. Alabamas next score came in the fourth when Baumgart- ncr hit for home run Tn the sixth Ala bama pushed one more across when Raumgartner hit to left center for two bags, went to third on Heard's bunt and scored when Moody drove a liner through third. The last score came in the eighth when Baumgartner, first up, got nit, went to second when Heard was pinked and came home on Moody's safe drive. yanderbilt's first run came in the fifth when R. Morrison went to second on Vandegraff's huff of his long drive and came home on two passed balls. Vandy's s only other run was awarded them on ac- count of alleged interference by Ala

 MANY RUNAWAYS
Horses Do All Kinds of Unusual Stunts, Throwing Children and
 and Flows Right and Left

Vernon, April Especial )-There was a very unique but harmless run away scrape here a night or two ago. ,Ir. Jordan, one of our liverymen, drove in town with Judge Bradley at night and they had just alighted from the buggv when the horses started to run and ran about mile and a half east 'ol Vernon and into a field where there was a two-horse steel blow which in some way got caught on the buggy, when the horses turned back to Yer non, crossing bridges. sloughs and ditches, the blow holding on with a death grip When they got back to Vernon instead of stopping at the liv- cry stable they turned down Main street and into a place where they could not get out, and were there caught.
 Fortunately the horses, nor harness, nor buggy was injured and the steel plow was still holding on to the buggy when they were found.
 There seems to have been mania among the horses here for running away recently.
 week or so since MT. Strickland, our sheriff, was driving out with some children, when his horse started to run, throwing him and some of the children cut and bruising them some, but not very seriously.
 The horse then ran into a wire fence md got tangled in the wire, and broke its neck.
 A few days afterthis MT. Murray Gill more was thrown from his buggy and fatally hurt, and died a few days after. ward.

THE RADISH WAR
 IS ROCKING ALONG
Cheeks For Disputed Cars Are Re. ceived But Prove Too
 Small

Greenville, April Especial )-The Q elimination of a situation that prom ised to be serious to the truck grow CTS of Butler county and probably to the commission house of Veil, Turn Lull & Co., of Detroit. came this morn ing when the growers who had shipped the three cars to the above firm and had received no returns for them, re- coived checks for the radishes this morning that, although they were small, still proved the rightful claims of the growers. The growers also changed their contracts from this ouse to another.
 Yesterday q telegram was received from Well, Turnbull & Co.,, saying that caeclss had been forwarded covering the three cars that have been the bone of contention and saying thai they were at a certain rate. When the decks came they were found to have Teen for a much lower rate and, not \. ithstanding second telegram, threatening that unless the further usjness of the association was handled bv them that they would boycott the I utler county truck, the association sold the remainder of the radish crop of this season tn Purse & Co. of De- troit and gave promise of future business.
 There Is still quite bit of hard feel i against the house that mistreated them among the growers here, but they have resolved not to carry it fur ti.cr unless forced to.

BLOODY FEUDS
 AIRED IN COURT
Boy Killed Elderly Farmer and Much Bad Feeling Surrounds the Tragedy

Evergreen, April O.-(Special )-This Is the second week of circuit court and the criminal docket is being rapidly cleared. Three murder cases have occupied the att tention of the court for the most of tie week The first was that of Cap Lewis, who killed his brother, Andrew, at a negro church festival of some kind at Brooklyn He plead guilty and was given life sentence.
 Dan Daily, negro. was the next tried fCe the murder of John Hudson, another negro. He was found guilty and sentenced to 15 years in the penitentiary. The court then took up the case of Melton Book er who killed Will Raines, and he was acquitted. There were no witnesses to this killing, and the state was forced to rely on the statement made by the de- fendant. Today jury has under con- sideration the case of Luman Robertson, who killed Claude Mooney.
 These two last cases arose in the neighborhood of skinnerton, in this coun- ty, and 1t is believed that the bad feel ing that already exists between two fac tions in that community will result in further bloodshed. Will Raines, who was killed by Melton Booker. was man about 35 or 40 years old, and his slayer is a mere boy, scarcely out of his teens. They were cousins. It is practically cer- tain that whisky and women led to the tragedy. There are two sides in both the killings, and 1t is feared by the peaceably inclined in the neighborhoods that feuds of long and bloody duration will be the sequel,
