trips turning double summer

flew the track one day this week.
No serious damage was done ex
cept the spilling of a key of
water all over the boss, which
may have served to keep him
from fainting as the ground
flew up and hit him pretty HARD
on the top of the head and one
side.
Mr.. B. w. Newlin came in
Sunday morning from his school
in Texas and will move his
family out to the claim for the

THERE'S A MORAL.

Last week we clipped an ar
ticle from an Indiana paper at
the bottom of which appeared a
notice of stray, at the Law
renee ranch" The typeseter
finding the ad on the clipping
supposed we wanted it set, and
accordingly it appeared in tie
Record. DR.. McAuley saw the
ad, and as it exactly described
an animal he lost about a year
ago, even to the two white feet
and a wire cut on right front
foot, he and his neighbor Bob
Sampson drove to Kenna yester-
day, about 20 miles, to find out
where the Lawrence ranch" is
located. We are sorry they had
the trip for nothing but it proves
something just the same. The
moral is obvious: "If you put
an ad of any kind in a newspa-
per somebody is going to read
it." Sect

Mr.. WATT A. STEWART DEAD
Oldest Native Born Texan Residing in
Brazos County Passed
Away.

Mr.. Watt A. Stewart, or Uncle
Watt" as he was loving called by his
host of friends, has passed away and
in his going one of the old landmarks
of Texas, and more especially of
Brazos county, has been removed
He had been i'll but a short time,
being taken on Saturday night, and
sank rapidly, the end coming peace
fully at 1890 Sunday night. 1t could
not in reality be called an illness, but
only coming to the end of the way.
The machinery of life was worn out,
the house in which his immortal soul
resided had tumbled down and it was
necessary for him to move out.
Uncle Watt" was native Texan.
born in Harrisburg, Harris county, Au-
guest %, 1881, making him lack only
few months of being eighty years of
age. He was reared in Washington
county and came to BraZos county to
make it his permanent home in 1880,
though he had spent much time here
while he resided in Washington coun-
ty. He enjoyed the distinction of being
the oldest native born Texan residing
in Brazos county, and was among the
Oldest in the state.
He was a good man and Christian,
and a gentleman of the old Southern
type. True to himself, true to his
neighbors and friends, he possessed
the confidence, the love and esteem
of all in marked degree. He was a
member of the Missionary Baptist
church at Reliance, and of Kurten
lodge Ancient, Free and Accepted Ma
sons.
He was as brave and true a soldier
as ever bore arms in defense of the
Lost Cause and served with dstinc-
ton throughout the four years of the
fearful struggle. He did his part in
life nobly and bequeaths to his son
the glorious heritage of good name.
He is survived by one son, Mr.. j. r.
Stewart, of Reliance, and to him and
the other relatives the profound SYM
pathy of the entire community is ex-
tended.
He was laid to rest at Reliance at
4 o'clock this afternoon with Masonic
honors. The obsequies were under the
auspices of Kurten Lodge, A. F. e
A. NJ, assisted by visiting members of
Brazos Union Lodge No. 129 of this
city.

There is no doubt that the ATTEST
lawyers have been retained to prose
cute the McNamaras and the labor
organizations ought not to be blamed
for raising money to employ counsel
for the defense. Neither is it fair for
the public to condemn them upon the
meager information that has been
given out. If they are guilty there is
no punishment too severe for their
atrocious crime, but they are entitled
to a fair trial.

The dry-land farmers of the West
raise good crops with II to 20 inches
OF rain. The fundamental principle of
dry farming is keeping a crust from
forming on the surface by frequent
stirring. If drouth should follow
the early rains, as is usual, Brazos
county farmers could use the same
method with advantage.

The city ought to put moving ma
chimes to cutting the weeds along the
neglected streets and all owners who
nave not done so should cut them on
their own premises; and if they don't
do so voluntarily they should be re-
quired to do it. Weeds are not only
unsightly, giving the city a frowzy
look, but they are a menace to health.

The Beaumont Enterprise speaks of
Waco as the center of Middle West
Texas. How can this be when both
the geographical and population CEN
tiers are west of Waco? Perhaps the
Enterprise has little circulation in
West Texas and this is the reason why
it ignores that immense region.

year or more after the occurrence OF
the incident Just related, when the
same detective while rambling about
the city CHANGED to meet well
dressed woman who bore a marked
resemblance to the little milliner. She
turned her head and gave him a side
glance as he passed He kept along
at considerable distance and turned
Just In time to catch sight of her as
she stepped into Johnson's millinery

at point diagonally across the street,
and sheltering himself little In
doorway. he was enabled to distin-
guish persons as they passed in and
out OF the shop. While he stood
watching. a bright looking boy came
along with bundle OF newspapers
under his arm. The detective called
him up and bargained with him to
do little piping" for him. When
the suspected woman came out OF the
millinery store she was pointed out
to the boy who was told to follow her
and. II possible. trace her to her
home. The boy was promised $5 for
the job II his Information proved to
be correct. and he was to meet the
ohicer later and report. When the
boy came back to the officer he had
followed the woman to a little shop
on Ninth avenue. He said she went
in and took of her bonnet as though
she belonged there.
The detective reported meeting the
woman who had 30 nicely escaped
him and had located her in small
store on Ninth avenue where there
hung over the door a sign that read
Fine Millinery Work Done Here"
1t was quite reasonable to believe
that the woman was none other than
the naughty little milliner from New
Orleans and that she was then doing
business in New York. Officer Fitz-
patrick of New Orleans was the only
detective on the force that could pos
itively identify ber, but 1t wouldn't
do to bring him for that purpose as
she would be sure to see him first,
and having been put upon her guard
she might fly away.
The idea was to plan a ruse for the
purpose of capturing her with evil
dence to convict For this purpose

1t was necessary to bring a new man
into the field. and ] chose an elderly
gentleman who was then employed.
He was a countryman born, and did
not have to act the part, as 1t was
perfectly natural to him He ap-
peared simple in his ways, but was in
reality remarkably shrewd. The little
milliner might have been surprised
one morning to receive visit from

he entered her little shop. But her
lips assumed business smile as she

of her little trimming room In the rear
stood open, and It was plainly seen
that the floor was Uttered with bits
Of ribbon, clippings OF velvet and
small remnants of silk and lace The
old gentleman smiled pleasantly; the
woman gracefully sank into her chair.
She folded her hands in her lap AMI
inclined her head coquettishly to one
side and looked like polite inter
rogation point. The old gentleman
explained that his daughter who lived
over in Jersey had asked him to pur-
chase a nice bonnet for her, and as
he passed along the sidewalk he had
read her sign and Just stepped In. He
told her that the novelty OF bonnet
making concern had always attracted
his attention and that he would like
to talk with her about her kind of
business

She was a good talker and appeared
TO be woman of refinement and edu-

said she had once been rich but had
been unfortunate: her husband had
died from disease and young and

railroad accident As she talked
glibly she was all the while exhibiting

four hundred dollars by the widow
who had planned the keeper" scheme
with a confederate.
After diligent search about the city
the detectives were unable to learn
the whereabouts of the widow. who
had skipped out for parts unknown.
Detective Fitzpatrick was fortunate
enough to secure a photograph of her,
and number of copies of 1t were
made and forwarded to the branches
of the secret service In the various
cities of the country.
She was first recognized In Cincin-
natl where she had offered a five-dol.
lar counterfeit bill. When arrested
and searched, no other bad money
was found upon her person, and she
was released for the want of sufficient
evidence.
A secret service officer carrying
the widows photograph was sure he
had met her while on his way from
Washington to New York. He was
not quite certain, but was sure enough
to attempt to follow her for the pur-
pose of learning her location. She
probably "tumbled" to the detective
while he was eyeing her intently. She
did not affect to notice him, but man
aged, however. to give him the slip.
Just before the train arrived at Jer-
sey City. the suspected woman got
up from her seat and stepped into the
ladies retiring room at the front end.
The detective was keeping his eagle
eye on this place when the passen-
gers In front of him arose to leave
the car. He worked his way as rap
idly as possible towards the front exit,
and rushing to the ferry landing. he
took a position where he could care
fully view the face of every woman
entering the ferry boat Not seeing
the suspected woman he was the frs:
to spring ashore on the New York
side where he again scanned the faces
of the women as they passed. He was
disappointed and ready to kick him
self when he realized how neatly he
had been done for.

When he entered the suspected
place he discovered that 1t was nearly

removed. A number of cheap arti-

lace and empty bandboxes constituted
the stock. 1t was all appearance and
no value. The little room In the rear
of the place had been the Madams 8
living quarters; 1t also was empty ex-

about.

was to account for the removal of the
goods without attracting his attention
