End Of Famous Feud.--A famous
South Carolina feud was officially end
ed Saturday, when President Wilson
sent to the senate the nomination OF
william E. Gonzales ,f that state to
be minister to Cuba. Senator Benja-
min Ryan Tillman OF South Carolina,
consented to the nomination. The
Tillman and the Gonzales families
have been bitter political and person
al enemies for many years, and their
differences were augmented by blood
shed. .ta 5Ss lAs ~ &G
The Gonzales brothers, OF whom the
new minister to Cuba was one, were
editors and proprietors of the Column
bia State, militant newspaper that
fought Senator Tillman throughout
his political career. The turbulence
that marked the progress Of Mr.. Till
mans rise in the political world was
due to a large extent to the hard light
ing qualities of the Gonzales brothers.
Their opposition extended to the sem

streets Of Columbia there stands q
monument to the memory Of Mr.. Con-
zales, on which 1t Is recorded that he

the monument is erected. The monu-
ment was paid for by popular SUBJ

Senator Tillman has recently shown

ed off at dead run down the canyon.
One of the rangers had followed them.
His horse had fallen also. without
attempting to remount, he took q
careful aim and shot Murrieta's horse
as 1t ran.
The outlaw leaped from the falling
horse and continued his retreat on
foot. BY this time, half dozen ran
gers were following him. Three times
as they fired, he was seen to hesitate
and reel; then run on again. One last
shot and he stopped.
Turning, he raised his hand and
said: Don't shoot any more; the
work is DONE" He stood for minute
with weakening limbs; then he sank
slowly to his right side, his head upon
his arm. Wicked old Joaquin Murrie-
ia was no more. Another pursuing
party overlook and killed Three Fin
gered Jack. One of the bandits escap-
ed and drowned himself in the San
joaquin river Another was murder
ed by Mexicans who were afraid he
might reveal to the authorities their
connection with the band.
Murrieta's head was cut Off and, un-
til the San Francisco earthquake, was
on exhibition In q museum in San
Francisco. For all that, many old
timers contend that the outlaw escap-
ed and is still living in Mexico; that
1t was some other bandit killed by
Loves men. My old friend near Sail
mas states that within the last FIVE
years he has had a message from
Murietta in Mexico. gp.@#l
At the time of his death, Don Joa-
quin was preparing his grandest coup.
He intended to collect all his booty,
and march his men openly, like an
army, into Mexico The old timers as

TETON for this getaway" and that II
Is still there.
Ismael Ramirez says that he spent
three months looking for the buried
gold. One rainy night, he saw the
mystic light fiickering underneath an
old oak tree back of the ruins Of Ft.
TETON. He carefully noted the location.
intending to dig at the indicated spot
the next morning. When he went
there at dawn. however, he found that
a rancher had also seen the light. Ra-
mirez found an enormous hole and a
great iron kettle from which the
rancher had taken $4,000 in gold.
According to all reports the light
has begun to dance and flicker again
around the TETON, ready to guide some
one to the uneasy gold Of the arch

Warning to the south.-Grave warn
ing to the southern states, especially
Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Geor-
gia and Florida, against the wholesale
expectation Of their cattle is contain
ed In a special statement issued last
Saturday by the bureau of animal in
dustry of the department Of agricul-
ture.
In the past twelve months" says the
statement, buyers from the middle
west have taken from that district
thousands of animals, many Of which
go to the slaughter house when they
should be retained for breeding pur-
poses"
Some Of the people Of the south"
says the bureau, "seem glad that these
cattle are being shipped out as the
number Of scrub cattle Is being reduc-
ed and the south will get better cattle
for breeding purposes, the chances Of
southern farmers refilling their pas
lures with good cattle are indeed
small, and where are these good breed
ing cattle to come from at a reason
able price?"
The department experts point out
that the south Is especially adapted
to the raising of cattle, because Of the
long grazing season, the mild winters
and the great variety of pasturage.
For that reason 1t has made q special
appeal to the southern farmers to re-
tain their breeding herds.

NEW ORLEANS, July 1s.-Liverpool
is droopy in futures and spots. the lat
ter being quoted points lower; sales
only 5000 bales.
Some scattered showers occurred over
night in the lower central States, and
the Atlantic Coast districts had some
good rains: generally fair Gather pre-
vailed elsewhere, with little change in
the range of temperatures. Indications
are more favorable for some precipita-
ton in West Texas, while increasing
cloudiness and scattered showers are in
dicated for the territory east of the
Mississippi River.
Several private reports from Texas
say that old holdings are showing up on
platforms, but that holders are not yet
selling, owing to New York promises of
high July-August squeeze prices In re-
speCt to the present anxiety in regard to
dry weather in Texas; II will be FOUR
interesting to know that Government
records show that last year Texas had
practically no rain from June 90 TO Au-
gust 20, whereas this year. Texas had a
fine general rainfall up to July s.
First trades here were at a decline of
points but advices from New York Of
large buying by McFadden brokers soon
rallied the market to ll.53 for October
There was a rumor that Fall River had
cotton ready for delivery in New York
and that a block Of cotton was being
shipped from Memphis for delivery
here, but neither rumor has been con-
frmed so far.
The market is very steady with an
eye on the weather in the West.
