Monday turned the keys to the city

the petition and the ballot contained
recall provision not embodied In the
charter and not authorized by the
laws of the state. 1t is understood that
quo warranto proceedings will be in
stituted to restrain the commission
ers from the performance of their du-
ties until the matter can be decided
by the courts. but the suit will be
one and the mayor and com
missioners have agreed to draw no
salaries in the event the case is de-
cided against them.

TODAY
VENERABLE STATESMAN HALE
AND HEARTY IN SPITE OF HIS
EIGHTY YEARS.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. To-day is the
eightieth birthday of the nestor of
legislation in Mississippi, Col. H. M.
Street, of Meridian, former speaker of
the lower house, and, for more than
forty years, one OF the most conspic-
uous figures in the public life of the
commonwealth.
Although he is now at the four
score mark, Col. Street is still hale
and hearty, in the full enjoyment Of
all mental and physical faculties, and
bids fair to last for a goodly number
of years to come.
The legislative service of Col. Street
dates back to the year 1869, when he
was sent to the lower house from
Prentiss county, and served by con-
tinuous reelection from that county
until he moved to Lauderdale county
in 1882. That county also sent him
to the lower house, and throughout
his period of legislative service he
was an acknowledged leader.
It was Col. Street who was the cen
trail figure in one of the most thrilling
incidents of the reconstruction era
when, Drawing the pistols bullying from
he pockets of negro lawmakers in the
amous "black-and-tan" legislature,

assed, would have bankrupted the

NEMESIS WREAKS
VENGEANCE
AT LAST
BULLET 20 YEARS BURIED IN
TREE FINALLY KILLS MAN
FIRST INTENDED FOR.

Fort Worth, Texas, Jan. MEME
sis, after following Henry Ziegland for
twenty years, Monday wreaked ven
geance in remarkable manner.
Twenty years ago, near Honey
Grove, ziegland, who was a wealthy
young farmer, won the hand of Ma
tilda Tichnor, but Tilted her few
days before the day set for the mar
riage. The girl, a celebrated beauty
became respondent and killed her
self. Then her brother, Phil, went
to highlands home and after denounc-
ing him bitterly, fired at him, the but
let grazing highlands cheek and bury
ing itself in a nearby tree. Young
Tichnor, supposing he had killed the
man who Tilted his sister, put bull
let into his own head, dying instantly.
The two tragedies caused a big SEN
sation over North Texas at the time,
but finally were forgotten, and Zieg-
land married a rich widow and had
become immensely wealthy.
Monday the planter and one of his
sons cut down the tree in which Itch
nor's bullet had lodged twenty years
ago. The tree proved too tough for
splitting up, so small charge of dyna-
mite was used The explosion, as fate
would have it, discharged the long
forgotten bullet with such force that
