DYNAMITE EXPLODES AND WRECKS DEPOT
At Lufkin, Texas, One Man Killed, a
Dozen Box Cars Demolished and
About $4,000 Loss.

Lufkin, Texan explosion that has
no parallel in the history of East Tex

ment of dynamite in the wareroom OF
the Houston East and West Texas
depot exploded, completely demolish-
ing the depot and a dozen or more
loaded box cars and SCATTERING every
window and skylight in the entire
business district and in many nearby
residences. Almost the entire popu-
lace had Just retired for the night and
the great shock brought them from
their beds and onto the streets. I'm
mediately after the explosion the
depot and all cars caught fire.
Various estimates of the loss range
from 100000 to $4,000.
The Bonner hotel, short way from
the scene of the explosion, suffered
the greatest damage, beside the rail
way company, and all the guests were
forced from their rooms. Every win
dow on the east side of the building
was shattered, but fortunately no one
was injured.
1t is feared that one casualty occur
red, as Frank Parsons, night clerk
who had just entered the wareroon

robbed of about $43,500 in that city
Saturday night. Mrs Mills is suffer

head.
1T is one of the strangest stories
that ever came to my attention. said
Chief of Police Shaffer OF Evanston.
There seems to be about six different
mysteries to be solved, instead OF
one"
According to information obtained
by the police. Mrs. Mills came to Chi
cagO from san Antonio less than a
week ago and registered at a leading
hotel. Shortly before noon Saturday
she is supposed to have drawn $4,000
/ from a bank, and on returning to the
hotel to have given the money into the
care of the cashier, receiving a receipt
/ therefor When she returned for the
money a short time later ii is stated
she discovered that she had lost hel
receipt, but as she had made herself
known to the cashier she succeeded il
getting the money back withOu
trouble In the afternoon she went t
Evanston to attend dinner at thu
home of a friend, carrying the $4,000
in a large brown handbag, a part OF /
being in a smaller purse inside tn
larger one.
After dinner Mrs. Mills started bacI

handbag and discovered that tn
smaller purse was missing. She re
turned to Evanston, missed her way
and was seen walking by policema
whom she did not accOst.

New Orleans.-New crop prepare
'tion5 and the total crop grown this
season will be main topics in the cot
ton market this week. Both subjects
are important, but probably the new
crop will take the lead, unless prl-
vate forecasts of the amount of cotton
ginned up to February form a new set
of opinions radically different from
those that have been entertained for
| some time
The revival of strong interest in
/ the amount of cotton grown this last
season is being brought about by the
/ final report on ginning by the census
| bureau. This report will be issued
March 20 and will carry the crop
down to the end of February and will
! include linters. In other words, 1t Will
amount to a count of the crop itself
and will probably be approximately
correct. although subject, as usual, to
some change.
For some time the trade has been
looking for a crop from 14,000,0OO to
14.550,000 bales, with the average or
opinion about 14,250,000. However, al
ready a few important private esti-
mates have come up. putting the total
crop under 100000 bales, some of
them being as low as 13,S00.000 bales.
There are signs that other estimates
will come out this week that will
place the total well up toward 15,O0O,-
geo bales This may result in great
uncertainty of opinion and more or
less nervousness in the future market
as the date of the census report draws
near.
Weather conditions this week will
have more effect than they have had
